Somehow it happened that I decided to try out oracle on latest linux kernel and debian system.
I horribly failed.
In order to make you not fail, here is a guide what to do in order to install it
1. Install necessary packages
|
1 |
apt-get install build-essential libaio1 gawk ksh libmotif3 alien libtool lsb-rpm make gcc libsc-dev libxp-dev |
This is probably not needed:2. Update /dev/shmOracle requires shared pool to be present there, but latest linux is using /run/ to store it – this is dangerous and you should reboot your server once you finish (you only need to do that if /dev/shm points to /run/shm)
|
1 |
<strike>sudo rm /dev/shm</strike> |
|
1 |
<strike>sudo mkdir /dev/shm</strike> |
|
1 |
<strike>sudo chmod 1777 /dev/shm </strike> |
3. Change the system limits
Write the following options to the /etc/security/limits.confce file:
|
1 |
oracle soft nproc 2047 <br />oracle hard nproc 16383 <br />oracle soft nofile 1023 <br />oracle hard nofile 65535 <br /> |
Add the following to /etc/pam.d/login to validate parameters /etc/security/limits.conf:
|
1 |
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so <br />session required pam_limits.so |
Make sure you have this in your /etc/sysctl.conf file:
|
1 |
sysctl -p: <br /># sysctl -p <br />kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7 <br />kernel.maps_protect = 1 <br />fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288 <br />vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536 <br />net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 <br />net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1 <br />fs.file-max = 65535 <br />kernel.shmall = 2097152 <br />kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 <br />kernel.shmmni = 4096 <br />kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 <br />net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65535 <br />net.core.rmem_default = 1048576 <br />net.core.rmem_max = 1048576 <br />net.core.wmem_default = 262144 <br />net.core.wmem_max = 262144 |
4. Change some more links
|
1 |
ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk <br />ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpm <br />ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename <br />mkdir /etc/rc.d <br />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 |
5. Create user credentials
|
1 |
addgroup oinstall <br /> Adding group 'oinstall' (GID 1001) ... <br /> Done. <br /># addgroup dba <br /> Adding group 'dba' (GID 1002) ... <br /> Done. <br /># addgroup nobody <br /> Adding group 'nobody' (GID 1003) ... <br /> Done. <br /># usermod -g nobody nobody |
|
1 |
|
|
1 |
useradd -g oinstall -G dba -p password -d /home/oracle -s /bin/bash oracle |
|
1 |
# passwd oracle <br /> Password changed. <br />mkdir /home/oracle |
|
1 |
chown -R oracle:dba /home/oracle |
6. Change dash to bash
|
1 |
# if you see this: |
|
1 |
ls -l /bin/sh |
|
1 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar 2 18:07 /bin/sh -> dash |
|
1 |
# do this: |
|
1 |
sudo su |
|
1 |
cd /bin |
|
1 |
rm sh |
|
1 |
ln -s bash sh |
|
1 |
|
|
1 |
# These links needs to be created as well to fix problems with makefiles |
|
1 |
sudo su |
|
1 |
mkdir /usr/lib64 |
|
1 |
ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib64/<br />ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc_nonshared.a /usr/lib64/<br />ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread_nonshared.a /usr/lib64/<br />ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/ |
Now you can install oracle using their universal installer. If you don’t have GUI, you need to create a response file. Don’t forget to bypass system checks, because the version of libraries used by debian is too new for oracle
