This article describes the installation of Oracle Client 11g Release 1 (11.10.6.0) on
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0. Here I simulate the installation process based on my
Desktop PC which has following hardware configuration:
1. Intel 2.4 GHz x86 Processor.

2. 80 GB SATA HDD
3. 1 GB physical memory
To make an easy and convenient installation process we documented installation Process
in two phases. First of on we have to install Oracle Enterprise Linux Server 5.0 with
required package and system parameter. After that in the second phase we simulated
installation Process of Oracle 11g Client with respective screen shot which will help the
beginner Administrator to understand their jobs easily.
It’s me a great pleasure if this installation cook helps someone meet their company
requirement. If you have further query please drop message to our forum section at
http://oracleboss.com or mail me samiuzzaman@yahoo.com

Installation Process:
1. Boot the server using the first CD.
o You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
2. The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
o Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console.
3. CD Found
o Skip these options.
4. Click on Next.
5. What language could you like to use during the installation process.
o Accept the default.
6. Select the appropriate keyboard for the system Configuration
o Accept the default. (U.S English).
7. Disk Portioning Step
o Select Remove all partition on Selected device and create default layout the
system and Click on Next
o The disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux software and
contains the following partitions:
o /boot partition - 256MB
o Swap Partition -2 GB [Set this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system
But if the Physical RAM equal to 4 GB or greater then choose swap size exactly
as memory size.]
o root (/) partition - 19 GB This partition will be used for everything, including
/usr, /tmp, /opt, /home, and more. This approach is purely to simplify installation
for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate
these directories onto separate file systems.
o /u01 – 18 GB - For Oracle Home Directory
o /var – 19 GB

Part-2: Configuring Linux for Oracle

You may download Oracle 11g from oracle technology network. To download Oracle
Database 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.6.0)
Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition use the following link.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_linuxs
oft.html
1. Creating the Oracle Group and User Account

• Use the following command to add The Oracle Inventory group (oinstall) and
OSDBS (dba) Group:
[root@tamim ~]# groupadd oinstall
[root@tamim ~]# groupadd dba
• Use the following command to add a user whish is The Oracle software owner
(oracle)
[root@tamim ~]# useradd oracle
• Use the following command to specify oinstall as the primary group and dba as
the secondary group for oracle User.
[root@tamim ~]# usermod -g oinstall -G dba oracle
• Finaly use the following command to Check the Oracle user and user group:
[root@tamim ~]# id oracle
uid=500(oracle) gid=500(oinstall) groups=500(oinstall),501(dba)
• Use the following command to set the password of the oracle user:
[root@tamim ~]# passwd oracle
Changing password for user oracle.
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd:all authentication tokens updated successfully.
• Use the Following Command determine whether the An unprivileged user

(nobody) user exists or Not :
[root@tamim ~]# id nobody
uid=99(nobody) gid=99(nobody) groups=99(nobody)
If this command displays information about the nobody user, then you do not
need to create the nobody user.
• If the nobody user does not exist, then enter the following command to create it:
# useradd nobody
4
2. Creating Required Directories and Change the Owner Ship

• Create directories with names similar to the following, and specify the correct
owner, group, and permissions for them:
1. The Oracle base directory (For Oracle Home directory)
2. An optional Oracle data file directory
• Oracle Recommand that the base directory and data file directory will be different
mount point. if you do not create the mount point during the operation system
installation then use the following command to create a directory.
mkdir -p /mount_point/app/
For example :
[root@tamim ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app
• To set the appropriate owner, group use the following command :

[root@tamim ~]# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
• To permissions on the directory use the following command :

[root@tamim ~]# chmod -R 775 /u01
3. Verify Hardware Requirements

• Main Memory Requirements
• Disk Space Requirements
Main Memory Requirements

• At least 1 GB of Physical RAM Requirement , To determine the physical RAM
size, use the following command:
[root@tamim ~]# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Mem
MemTotal: 1018368 kB
MemFree: 43884 kB
• Swap Spase
For 512 MB RAM,Swap Space Required Double the size of RAM
For 1024 MB RAM, Swap Space Required 1.5 times the size of RAM
• To determine the physical RAM size, use the following command:

[root@tamim ~]# cat /proc/meminfo | grep SwapTotal
SwapTotal: 2096472 kB
Disk Space Requirements

• Oracle Recommend For Enterprise Edition you may need 3.47 GB, Enterprise
Edition require 1.5 GB of disk Space for Data file. To determine the amount of
free disk space in MB on the system, use the following command :
5
[root@tamim ~]# df -m /u01/

Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7 17439 3624 12915 22% /u01
[root@tamim ~]# df -m /u02/

Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6 17439 1777 14763 11% /u02
[NB: /u01 is use for Oracle Software and /u01 is use for Oracle Database file]
4. Software Requirements Checking

Kernel Requirements
• To determine whether the required kernel is installed, use the following
command. A sample output displayed by running this command on a Oracle
Enterprise Linux 5.0 system:
[root@tamim ~]# uname –r
2.6.18-8.el5
Package Requirements
• The following or later version of packages for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0
1. binutils-2.17.50.0.6-2.el5 Disk-01
2. compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61 Disk-02
3. elfutils-libelf-0.125-3.el5 Disk-02
4. elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125 Disk-02
5. glibc-2.5-12 Disk-02

• To determine whether the required packages are installed, use commands similar
to the following:
# rpm -qa | grep <package_name>
Example:
[root@tamim ~]# rpm -qa | grep binutils
binutils-2.17.50.0.6-2.el5
6
• To Find the Packege in the CD-ROM(Oracle Entriprece Linux) use the

Commands similer
# ls -la /media/cdrecorder/Server | grep <package_name>
• To install, use commands similar to the following:
# rpm -ivh <package_name>
5. Configuring Kernel Parameters

[root@tamim ~]# sysctl -a | grep sem
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
[root@tamim ~]# sysctl -a | grep shm

vm.hugetlb_shm_group = 0
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 268435456
kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
[root@tamim ~]# sysctl -a | grep file-max

fs.file-max = 6553600
[root@tamim ~]# sysctl -a | grep ip_local_port_range

net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
[root@tamim ~]# sysctl -a | grep rmem_
net.core.rmem_default = 4194304
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
[root@tamim ~]# sysctl -a | grep wmem_

net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144
vm.lowmem_reserve_ratio = 256 256 32
• Using any text editor, create or edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file, and add or
edit lines similar to the following:
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 4194304
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144
7
• Enter the following command to change the current values of the kernel
parameters:
[root@tamim ~]# /sbin/sysctl –p
Review the output from this command to verify that the values are correct.
N.B: For Safety to make sure the change affect you may restart the system.
6. Configuring the oracle User's Environment
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 user environment is preconfigured. So skip this option.
If you are not disabling the firewall during the setup of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 then
follow the following step to disable in GUI as root user.
For Oracle Enterprise Linux System -> Administration -> Security Level and Firewall
