Download Software

Download the Oracle software from OTN or MOS depending on your support status.

Unpack Files

Unzip the files. You should now have a single directory called "database" containing installation files.

unzip linuxamd64_12102_database_1of2.zip
unzip linuxamd64_12102_database_2of2.zip

Hosts File

The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server. For example. Set the correct hostname in the "/etc/hostname" file.

<IP-address>  <fully-qualified-machine-name>  <machine-name>

127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
192.168.0.212   fedora19.localdomain  fedora19

fedora19.localdomain

Set Kernel Parameters

Add or amend the following lines in the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file. Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters. Add the following lines to the "/etc/security/limits.conf" file. Set SELinux to permissive by editing the "/etc/selinux/config" file, making sure the SELINUX flag is set as follows. The server will need a reboot for the change to take effect.

Setup

Before we consider the packages required by the Oracle installation, it's probably worth making sure some basic package groups are installed. If you have installed the suggested package groups, the majority of the necessary packages will already be installed. The following packages are listed as required, including the 32-bit version of some of the packages. Many of the packages should be installed already. Create the new groups and users. We are not going to use the extra groups, but include them if you do plan on using them. Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed. Putting mount points directly under root without mounting separate disks to them is typically a bad idea. It's done here for simplicity, but for a real installation "/" storage should be reserved for the OS. If you are using X Emulation, login as root and issue the following command. Edit the "/etc/redhat-release" file replacing the current release information "Fedora release 19 (SchrÃ¶dingerâ€™s Cat)" with the following. Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the "/home/oracle/.bash_profile" file.

Installation

Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable. Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the database directory. Proceed with the installation of your choice. You can see the type of installation I performed by clicking on the links below to see screen shots of each stage. - Configure Security Updates - My Oracle Support Credentials - Select Installation Type - System Class - Grid Installation Options - Select Install Type - Typical Install Configuration - Create Inventory - Perform Prerequisite Checks - Summary - Install Product - Execute Configuration Scripts - Oracle Database Configuration - Database Configuration Assistant - Database Configuration Assistant Complete - Finish - Database Express 12c Login - Database Express 12c Dashboard The "Database Configuration Assistant Complete" screen displays the Database Express 12c URL, which will be something like "https://fedora20.localdomain:5500/em".

12.1.0.1 Notes

Oracle 12c (12.1.0.2) installs cleanly. If you attempt the installation using 12.1.0.1 there will be some problems. The notes here explain how to complete a 12.1.0.1 installation. - When clicking "Next" on the "Download Software Updates" screen you will get the following message. Click the "Yes" button. When clicking "Next" on the "Download Software Updates" screen you will get the following message. Click the "Yes" button. - During the linking phase, you will see the following error. To fix it, do the following: Perform the following modifications to the "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk" file. Click the "Retry" button. During the linking phase, you will see the following error. To fix it, do the following: Perform the following modifications to the "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk" file. Click the "Retry" button. - Later, you might see the following error. To fix it, do the following: Perform the following modifications to the "$ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk" file. Click the "Retry" button. Later, you might see the following error. To fix it, do the following: Perform the following modifications to the "$ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk" file. Click the "Retry" button. Due to the issues during the linking phase, it probably makes sense to do a relink, just to make sure. For more information see: Hope this helps. Regards Tim...
