    Post HOWTO: Install Oracle Database 11gR2 (86_64) on Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit)

    Hello,

    Here is a quick guide to installing Oracle Database 11gR2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit):

    Install the required software packages:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install libaio1
    sudo apt-get install libaio-dev
    sudo apt-get install unixODBC
    sudo apt-get install unixODBC-dev
    sudo apt-get install expat
    sudo apt-get install sysstat
    sudo apt-get install libelf-dev
    sudo apt-get install elfutils
    sudo apt-get install lsb-cxx
    sudo apt-get install pdksh
    sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
    sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
    sudo apt-get install ksh
    sudo apt-get install lesstif2
    sudo apt-get install alien
    sudo apt-get install gcc
    sudo apt-get install gawk
    sudo apt-get install binutils
    sudo apt-get install gawk
    sudo apt-get install x11-utils
    sudo apt-get install rpm
    sudo apt-get install alien
    sudo apt-get install lsb-rpm
    sudo apt-get install libmotif3
    sudo apt-get install lesstif2
    sudo apt-get install openssh-server
    The Oracle installation expects certain utilities and libraries in different locations:

    Code:
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename
    sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpm
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_nonshared.a /usr/lib64/ 
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread_nonshared.a /usr/lib64/ 
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/ 
    sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 /lib64
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread_nonshared.a /usr/lib/libpthread_nonshared.a


    Create a kernel parameter file:


    Code:
    sudo cat - >> /etc/sysctl.d/60-oracle.conf
    (then cut & paste the following)

    Code:
    # Oracle 11gR2 kernel parameters
    fs.aio-max-nr=1048576
    fs.file-max=6815744
    net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=9000 65500
    net.core.rmem_default=262144
    net.core.rmem_max=4194304
    net.core.wmem_default=262144
    net.core.wmem_max=1048586
    kernel.sem=250 32000 100 128
    kernel.shmmax=2147483648
    (then press Ctrl-d to write the file)

    Note: kernel.shmmax = max possible value, e.g. size of physical RAM.

    Verify:

    Code:
    sudo cat /etc/sysctl.d/60-oracle.conf
    Load new kernel parameters:

    Code:
    sudo service procps start
    Verify:

    Code:
    sudo sysctl -q fs.aio-max-nr
    -> fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576


    Oracle Account and Directories
    :

    Code:
    sudo groupadd oinstall
    sudo groupadd dba
    sudo useradd -m -g oinstall -G dba oracle
    sudo usermod -s /bin/bash oracle
    sudo passwd oracle
    sudo groupadd nobody
    sudo usermod -g nobody nobody
    Verify:

    Code:
    sudo id oracle
    -> uid=1001(oracle) gid=1001(oinstall) groups=1001(oinstall),1002(dba)
    Create Oracle Directories, i.e.: /u01/app for Oracle software and /u02/oradata for database files:

    Code:
    sudo mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
    sudo mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory
    sudo mkdir -p /u02/oradata
    sudo chown oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
    sudo chown oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oraInventory
    sudo chown oracle:oinstall /u02/oradata
    sudo chmod 750 /u01/app/oracle
    sudo chmod 750 /u01/app/oraInventory
    sudo chmod 750 /u02/oradata
    sudo -s
    mkdir /etc/rc.d
    for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 S ; do ln -s /etc/rc$i.d /etc/rc.d/rc$i.d ; done
    exit
    Allow the Oracle user to use the "sudo" command:

    Code:
    sudo usermod -G admin oracle


    Modify Oracle account shell limits:


    Make a backup of the original file:

    Code:
    sudo cp /etc/security/limits.conf /etc/security/limits.conf.origina
    Code:
    sudo cat - >> /etc/security/limits.conf
    (then cut & paste the following)

    Code:
    #Oracle 11gR2 shell limits:
    oracle soft nproc 2048
    oracle hard nproc 16384
    oracle soft nofile 1024
    oracle hard nofile 65536
    (then press Ctrl-d to write the file)

    Verify:

    Code:
    sudo cat /etc/security/limits.conf
    Add the following line to the /etc/pam.d/login file:

    Code:
    session required pam_limits.so
    Use an editor like vi or gedit and add the following to /etc/profile:

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


    ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET


    Oracle 11gR2 under Ubuntu 11.10 will result in "ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not support on this system" either at Oracle database startup or during the initial installation. Ubuntu 11.10 uses a new version of the "systemd" system and session manager and has migrated away from /dev/shm and other common directories in favor of /run.

    There are several ways how to address the problem. You can either enable /dev/shm shared memory, or change the default memory management of Oracle 11g from AMM (Automatic Memory Management) to ASMM (Automatic Shared Memory Management) as it was in used the previous 10g version. Since AMM is one of the new features of 11g, the following will show you how to make to make AMM work.


    Login as root:

    Code:
    sudo su -
    Cut & paste the following into the command prompt (not a text editor):

    Code:
    cat > /etc/init.d/oracle-shm <<-EOF
    #! /bin/sh
    # /etc/init.d/oracle-shm
    #
    #
    case "\$1" in
      start)
        echo "Starting script /etc/init.d/oracle-shm"
        # Run only once at system startup
        if [ -e /dev/shm/.oracle-shm ]; then
          echo "/dev/shm is already mounted, nothing to do"
        else
          rm -f /dev/shm
          mkdir /dev/shm
          mount -B /run/shm /dev/shm
          touch /dev/shm/.oracle-shm
        fi
        ;;
      stop)
        echo "Stopping script /etc/init.d/oracle-shm"
        echo "Nothing to do"
        ;;
      *)
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/oracle-shm {start|stop}"
        exit 1
        ;;
    esac

    ### END INIT INFO
    EOF
    Install the oracle-shm init script:

    Code:
    chmod 755 /etc/init.d/oracle-shm
    update-rc.d oracle-shm defaults 01 99
    Restart the system and verify the success:

    Code:
    sudo cat /etc/mtab | grep shm
    ->none /run/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
    ->/run/shm /dev/shm none rw,bind 0 0
    The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) requires X-windows. There are two fundamentally different ways to open a GUI application:

    - Remote Session
    - Server Console

    VNC/Remote Desktop:
    - Shares the screen of the Server Console.
    - Applications are using the X-server on the server.

    SSH with X-forwarding:
    - Applications use the the X-server running on your client's desktop.

    Using SSH with X-Forwarding:

    Code:
    ssh -X oracle@your_server_ip_address
    Or use VNC using an SSH tunnel:

    Code:
    ssh -A -L 5902:localhost:5902 oracle@your_server_ip_address
    Then open a VNC session to localhost:5902.

    Intiates Oracle 11gR2 installation:

    Code:
    ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs

    Creating startup/init script:


    Update the following script in /etc/init.d/oracledb:

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    #
    # /etc/init.d/oracledb
    #
    # Run-level Startup script for the Oracle Listener and Instances
    # It relies on the information on /etc/oratab
    
    export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
    export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
    export ORACLE_OWNR=oracle
    export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    
    if [ ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart -o ! -d $ORACLE_HOME ]
    then
    echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
    exit 1
    fi
    
    case "$1" in
    start)
    # Oracle listener and instance startup
    echo -n "Starting Oracle: "
    su $ORACLE_OWNR -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start"
    su $ORACLE_OWNR -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME"
    su $ORACLE_OWNR -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole"
    touch /var/lock/oracle
    echo "OK"
    ;;
    stop)
    # Oracle listener and instance shutdown
    echo -n "Shutdown Oracle: "
    su $ORACLE_OWNR -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole"
    su $ORACLE_OWNR -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
    su $ORACLE_OWNR -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME"
    rm -f /var/lock/oracle
    echo "OK"
    ;;
    reload|restart)
    $0 stop
    $0 start
    ;;
    *)
    echo "Usage: `basename $0` start|stop|restart|reload"
    exit 1
    esac
    
    exit 0
    Run the following commands as a root:

    Code:
    chmod a+x /etc/init.d/oracledb
    update-rc.d oracledb defaults 99
    To make the Oracle start at the system boot in /etc/oratab change the 'N' on orcl line to Y as follows:

    Code:
    orcl:/home/mehrdad/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:Y
    I hope it could help you through installation steps

    Re: HOWTO: Install Oracle Database 11gR2 (86_64) on Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit)

    Hi All,

    I am trying the installation on 12.04. At the start I am getting the pre-reqs failed window as attached. I checked the packages and all of them seemed to be a higher version than the expected. Still the errors are thrown.

    When I ignore and proceed I get around 10 make file linking errors. Has this something to do with the incompatible packages ?

    Thanks in advice guys..

    That was quite useful. Googling about it showed up another good link. But it is for Red Hat.

    Hey Bonebreaker,

    You are right, my fault. But I didn't mean it that way, just wanted to share it with people.
    Anyway, I have gathered these from different blogs and here is the links to all of them:
