1. Introduction

This article covers the Installation of Oracle Database 11g on Enterprise Linux 5 and CentOS 5. The server needs a minimum of 4GB RAM for the installation. Swap should have double of physical RAM.

I recommend the following server configuration:

Xeon – Server with 1/2 cpu and 6gb/8gb Ram (an ideal configuration)

The following packages are mandatory for Enterprise Linux 5: GNOME Desktop Environment, Graphical Internet, X Window System, Editors, Development Tools, Server Configuration Tools, System Tools and Administration Tools.

11g Reports License needs to procure before the installations.

You can download the software, subject to Oracle Licensing.

After download, unzip or extract the files.

To download the weblogic:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/wls-main-097127.html

Download 11g Report Services:

1.1 Change O/s Configuration and Parameters

Copy sysctl.conf.

cp sysctl.conf sysctl.confold 
Cd /etc 
Vi sysctl.conf

Add the following:

# Kernel sysctl configuration file for Red Hat Linux
#
# For binary values, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled.  See sysctl(8) and
# sysctl.conf(5) for more details.
# Controls IP packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
# Controls source route verification
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
# Do not accept source routing
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
# Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel
kernel.sysrq = 0
# Controls whether core dumps will append the PID to the core filename
# Useful for debugging multi-threaded applications
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
# Controls the use of TCP syncookies
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
# Controls the maximum size of a message, in bytes
kernel.msgmnb = 65536
# Controls the default maxmimum size of a message queue
kernel.msgmax = 65536
# Controls the maximum shared segment size, in bytes
kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
# Controls the maximum number of shared memory segments, in pages
kernel.shmall = 268435456
Press Esc :wq
(configuration based on 4gb ram)

1.2 Change the Hosts File Entry

	Cd /etc
	Cp hosts hostsold
	Vi hosts
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdoamin localhost
::1             localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
10.91.10.205    hostname.domain.co.in  hostname
Press Esc and :wq

1.3 Go to /etc/security (cd /etc/security)

Vi limits.conf
Add or change  /etc/security/limits.conf file:
orarep              soft    nofile  4096
orarep              hard    nofile  65536
orarep              soft    nproc   2047
orarep              hard    nproc   16384
to save Esc :wq

1.4 Go to /etc/pam.d (cd /etc/pam.d)

Vi login
Add or change line to the /etc/pam.d/login file
session    required     pam_limits.so
session    required     /lib/security/pam_limits.so
to save Esc :wq

Very important steps:

The following packages(rpm) are required for Enterprise Linux:

1.5 Required rpm

Checking rpm:

Rpm –q rpmname
rpm -q gcc-4.1.0-28.4 
rpm -q gcc-c++-4.1.0-28.4
rpm -q setarch-1.6-1
rpm -q sysstat-5.0.5-1 – to be done
rpm -q libaio-0.3.106
rpm -q libaio-devel-0.3.106 – to be don
rpm -q libstdc++-4.1.0-28.4
rpm -q libstdc++-devel-4.1.0-28.4
rpm -q compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2
rpm -q compat-db-4.1.25-9
rpm -q control-center-2.8.0-12
rpm -q glibc-common-2.3.4-2.9 
rpm -q binutils-2.16.91.0.5-23.4 
rpm -q make-3.80-202.2 -dibe
rpm -q openmotif22-2.2.3 (for Oracle Reports Server)
rpm -q openmotif-2.2.3 (for Oracle Reports Server)

1.6 Create User and Groups

Adding Groups:

groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
Adding user and assign the group:
	useradd -g oinstall -G dba,oper orarep
Add password for Oracle user
	passwd orarep

1.7 Install weblogic First

./ oepe111130_wls1032_linux32.bin
Select default path
Do not create separate domain

1.8 Install Forms and Report Services

Unzip ofm_pfrd_linux_11.1.1.2.0_32_disk1_1of1.zip

1.9 Shutdown or Reboot the Machine

Login as Oracle 
Change/add user environment
Go to /home/oracle
Vi .bash_profile

	lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
  if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
    ulimit -p 16384
    ulimit -n 65536
  else
    ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
  fi
fi
Press Esc key :wq

1.12 Some Tips

Reloading keymap file.

Open the rwservlet.properties.

Added the below entry and re-start the wls_reports:

<reloadkeymap>yes</reloadkeymap>

For manual startup:

1 - set and confirm environment (each time before starting a component)
***********************************************************
Sample script setEnv_11g:
export FMW_HOME=/home/oracle/Middleware
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/Middleware/as_1
export ORACLE_INSTANCE=/home/oracle/Middleware/asinst_1
export DOMAIN_HOME=/home/oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain
export TNS_ADMIN=/home/oracle/Middleware/asinst_1/config

Open command prompt
***********************************************************

2 - start Admin Server
***********************************************************
cd $DOMAIN_HOME
startWebLogic.sh &

3 - start nodeManager
***********************************************************
cd $FMW_HOME
cd wlserver_10.3/server/bin
startNodeManager.sh &

4.  start reports engine
Cd $ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin
./opmnctl startall
To find out the status
./opmnctl status
To stop the Engine
./opmnctl stopall
                Administrator Console: http://hostname:7001/console
