This paper (HOWTO) describes step-by-step installation of Oracle 10g R2 database software on RedHat Enterprise Server 3, 4, 5 and (Oracle) Enteprise Linux 4, 5. This article is useful for Centos Linux release 3, 4 and 5 and for White Box Enterprise Linux release 3 and 4. Note that Centos and White Box distributions are not certified by Oracle Corporation.
This article does not cover database creation process, and ASM Instance creation process.
This paper covers following steps:
1. Create oracle User Account
Login as root and create te user oracle which belongs to dba group.
su -
# groupadd dba
# useradd -g dba oracle
2. Setting System parameters
Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf and add following lines:
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 = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 262144
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144
Note: You need reboot system or execute "sysctl -p" command to apply above settings.
For RedHat (OEL, Centos, WBL) 3 and 4 versions: Edit the /etc/pam.d/login file and add following line:
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
For RedHat (OEL, Centos) 5 version: Edit the /etc/pam.d/login file and add following line:
session required pam_limits.so
Edit the /etc/security/limits.conf file and add following lines:
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
3. Creating oracle directories
# mkdir /opt/oracle
# mkdir /opt/oracle/102
# chown -R oracle:dba /opt/oracle
4. Setting Oracle Enviroment
Edit the /home/oracle/.bash_profile file and add following lines:
Use this settings for 32bit (x86) architecture.
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/102
ORACLE_SID=ORCL
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH
Use this settings for 64bit (x86_64) architecture.
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/102
ORACLE_SID=ORCL
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib32
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH
Save the .bash_profile and execute following commands for load new enviroment:
cd /home/oracle
. .bash_profile
1. Download and install required .rpm packages
Some additional packages are required for succesful instalation of Oracle software.
To check wheter required packages are installed on your operating system use following command:
Note: Since RHEL 5 (OEL 5, Centos 5) pdksh package was renamed to ksh
For 32 bit (x86) Linux version:
rpm -q binutils gcc glibc glibc-headers glibc-kernheaders glibc-devel compat-libstdc++ cpp compat-gcc make compat-db compat-gcc-c++ compat-libstdc++ compat-libstdc++-devel setarch sysstat pdksh libaio libaio-devel --qf '%{name}.%{arch}\n'|sort
For 64 bit (x86_64) Linux version:
rpm -q binutils compat-db compat-libstdc++-33 glibc glibc-devel glibc-headers gcc gcc-c++ libstdc++ cpp make libaio ksh elfutils-libelf sysstat libaio libaio-devel setarch --qf '%{name}.%{arch}\n'|sort

If some package is not installed then install it from installation media or download it from following locations:
RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 - source packages only
RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 - source packages only
White Box Linux 3
White Box Linux 4
Centos Linux 3
Centos Linux 4
Centos Linux 5
This is example how to build RPM package from source package (libaio-0.3.96-3.src.rpm).
Note gcc, make and rpm-build (and dependent) packages must be already installed on your system.
# rpm -ivh libaio-0.3.96-3.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
# rpmbuild -bb --target i386 libaio.spec
# cd ../RPMS/i386/
Install the required packages using the rpm command:
# rpm -ivh <package_name>.rpm
2. Download the Oracle 10g release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) software from Oracle website.
Extract the files using following command:
For 32bit installation archive
unzip 10201_database_linux32.zip
For 64bit installation archive
gunzip 10201_database_linux_x86_64.cpio.gz
cpio -idmv <10201_database_linux_x86_64.cpio
For RHEL 5, Centos 5: Modify database/install/oraparam.ini file and add "redhat-5" to "Certified Versions" section.
Example:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-3,SuSE-9,redhat-4,UnitedLinux-1.0,asianux-1,asianux-2,redhat-5
3. Start the Oracle software installation process.
Now the system is prepared for Oracle software installation.
To start the installation process execute the following commands:
cd db/Disk1/
./runInstaller
Note: You may get "Warning" status during some pre-requisites checks. This will happen on RH EL 3 where Update 3 or 4 were not installed. You can continue in installation when you simply change the status as "User verified".
1. (Optional) Auto Startup and Shutdown of Database and Listener
Login as root and modify /etc/oratab file and change last character to Y for apropriate database.
ORCL:/opt/oracle/102:Y
As root user create new file "oracle" (init script for startup and shutdown the database) in /etc/init.d/ directory with following content:
#!/bin/bash
#
# oracle Init file for starting and stopping
# Oracle Database. Script is valid for 10g and 11g versions.
#
# chkconfig: 35 80 30
# description: Oracle Database startup script
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
ORACLE_OWNER="oracle"
ORACLE_HOME="/opt/oracle/102"
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n $"Starting Oracle DB:"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME"
echo "OK"
;;
stop)
echo -n $"Stopping Oracle DB:"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME"
echo "OK"
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
esac
Execute (as root) following commands (First script change the permissions, second script is configuring execution for specific runlevels):
chmod 750 /etc/init.d/oracle
chkconfig --add oracle --level 0356
2. (Optional) Auto Startup and Shutdown of Enterprise Manager Database Control
As root user create new file "oraemctl" (init script for startup and shutdown EM DB Console) in /etc/init.d/ directory with following content:
A.holiday.to.remember.1995.hdtv.x264-regret !!hot!!
Are there any common misconceptions about this movie? Maybe the title is misleading, or it's often confused with another film. I should clarify that. Also, considering the file name includes HDTV x264, the user might have an interest in technical aspects of the media, so explaining what that encoding means in terms of quality could be helpful.
Wait, the user might be a bit confused about what exactly they're getting. Maybe they downloaded the file and want to know if it's worth their time. Or perhaps they found it while torrenting and want to understand its context. I should make sure to mention the availability legally first, but since I can't provide torrents, I should advise seeking out legal sources or public domain info. A.Holiday.to.Remember.1995.HDTV.x264-REGRET
I need to structure this in a way that's informative but concise. Start with a brief summary, then go into plot, production, reception, technical details, and recommendations. Make sure to highlight that it's a niche title, maybe not widely known, and that it's best for enthusiasts of the genre or specific interests. Also, remind them about the legal aspects of torrenting. Are there any common misconceptions about this movie
Wait, did they actually ask for a synopsis or more like technical content description? The initial query is a bit ambiguous. They might be asking for the technical content of the file, like what to expect when opening it, or the movie itself. The user's exact question is to "need a content for..." which is a bit unclear. Maybe they want information about the movie to use as part of a project or to describe it for others. Also, considering the file name includes HDTV x264,
I should start by outlining the basics: director, cast, genre. Then the plot, maybe some themes like family drama and horror elements. Since it's from 1995, mentioning the era could be relevant. I need to note that it's HDTV x264 encoded, which is a format from that time, so the video quality details like resolution and bitrate would be important. Technical specs are probably needed here. Also, the user might not be aware that "REGRET" is a release group, so I should explain that.
Also, considering the file name includes "x264" and "REGRET," the user might be into technical video encoding. So maybe explaining x264 encoding briefly would add context. But since the user might just want the movie description, I should balance both aspects.
In summary, the content should include the movie's genre, plot summary, production context, technical details of the file, note on the torrenting aspect, and recommendations on similar movies. Make sure to be clear that this is a niche release and that the user should check legal sources. Also, mention that the file might be from a torrent and the potential issues with that (copyright concerns).
Execute (as root) following commands (First script change the permissions, second script is configuring execution for specific runlevels):
chmod 750 /etc/init.d/oraemctl
chkconfig --add oraemctl --level 0356
3. (Optional) You may consider to use rlwrap for comfortable work with sqlplus and rman utility.
RPM package for RedHat compatible (x86) distribution you can download here.
RPM package for RedHat compatible (x86_64) distribution you can download here.
su -
# rpm -ivh rlwrap*.rpm
# exit
echo "alias sqlplus='rlwrap sqlplus'" >> /home/oracle/.bash_profile
echo "alias adrci='rlwrap rman'" >> /home/oracle/.bash_profile
. /home/oracle/.bash_profile
DISPLAY not set. Please set the DISPLAY and try again.
Solution: Execute "export DISPLAY=:0.0" when you perform installtion on local machine or "export DISPLAY=:0.0 when you perform installation on remote machine connected over SSH". Don't forget to execute "xhost +" command on client machine.
