Goal
This document describes the installation of Oracle 10gR2 database on RedHat Enterprise Linux/Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (x86_64).
Solution
Installation requirements:
1. Hardware Requirements
i) Physical Memory
At least 1GB of physical RAM is required. To determine the physical RAM size, enter the following command
# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
ii) Swap Space
The following table describes the relationship between installed RAM and the configured swap space requirement.
RAM
|
Swap Space
|
Between 1024 MB and 2048 MB
|
1.5 times the size of RAM
|
Between 2049 MB and 8192 MB
|
Equal to the size of RAM
|
More than 8192 MB
|
0.75 times the size of RAM
|
- 400 MB of disk space in the /tmp directory
- Between 1.5 GB and 3.5 GB of disk space for the Oracle software, depending on the installation type
- 1.2 GB of disk space for a preconfigured database that uses file system storage (optional)
The system must be running the following kernel version (or a later version)
2.6.18-8
To determine whether the required kernel is installed, enter the following command:
b) The exact version number details of this list are based upon 64-bit (x86_64) RHEL Server 5.0. When a higher "update" level is used, the RPM release numbers (such as 4.1.1-52) may be slightly higher (such as 4.1.1-60 or 4.1.2). Since "update 0" and greater of RHEL 5 are certified, this is fine so long as you are still using 64-bit Linux (x86_64) RHEL Server 5 RPMs.

The x86_64 packages are on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 x86-64 distribution. The i386 packages are also on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 x86-64 distribution.
Command syntax to differentiate between installed i386 RPMs and installed x86_64 RPMs is presented in the "Additional Notes" section below.
Note: i386 packages might require the --force option during installation if the 64-bit version of the same package is already installed. For example, "rpm -ivh --force glibc-devel-2.5-12.i386.rpm" may be required.
Add the following the lines in the file /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.shmmax = 1/2 of physical RAM. This would be the value 2147483648 for a system with 4Gb of physical RAM.
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 512 x processes (for example 65536 for 128 processes)
Development recommends a minimum of 327679 for active systems.
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
(The runInstaller (OUI) checks may expect this to be the old guidance of 1024 65000.
The new guidance from Oracle development is 9000 65500.
Please allow the runInstaller (OUI) to proceed with the new guidance from Oracle development.)

# groupadd dba
# useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle

Configuring the oracle User's Environment, using the appropriate section of the "Oracle® Database Quick Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Linux x86-64". Note that setting $ORACLE_BASE (not $ORACLE_HOME) in the environment will ease a couple of entries in the Oracle Universal Installer.
The following lines to be added to /home/oracle/.bash_profile
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
unset ORACLE_HOME
Log in as Oracle user and start installation as follow. This is required because Oracle 10.2 expects OS to be RHEL 3 or RHEL/OEL 4.
During the installation at the screen "Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks", OUI gives a warning that Oracle database 10g is not certified on the current operating system. If we still proceed to continue, OUI gives a dialog-box with a warning
"Some recommended prerequisite checks have failed. You might get errors during installation. Do you want to proceed?"
This warning can be ignored, if all the above requirements are satisfied.
----------------
1. Supported distributions of the 32-bit (x86) Linux OS can run on on AMD64/EM64T and Intel Processor Chips that adhere to the x86_64 architecture
a.) Oracle 32-bit running on AMD64/EM64T with 32-bit OS is supported, but is NOT covered by this NOTE.
b.) Oracle 32-bit running on AMD64/EM64T with 64-bit OS is not certified and is not supported.
2. No LD_ASSUME_KERNEL value should be used with the 10gR2 product.
3. Following rpm command can be used to distinguish between a 32-bit or 64-bit package.
#rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n" | grep glibc-devel
glibc-devel-2.5-12 (x86_64)
