Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Installing Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) on CentOS 4.1 (RHEL AS 4 U1)
Actually , there are several nice articles on Oracle Technical
Network
devoted to the same topic. What’s new may be said ?
The target of publication is to highlight the optimal sequence of
steps required to bring Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) ASM-database up on
CentOS4.1 , placing ASM instance and serviced databases in different
Oracle Homes. Oracleasm library install is done immediately after
creating "oracle" linux account and "dba" group to be ready for ASM
Instance creating during the first Installer run supposed to build
it. ASM instance for volumes and volume’s group management is created
the first by Installer along with the volume’s group for database
supposed to be built during the second run of Installer and to be
placed into recently created volume’s group
1.Install CentOS 4.1
2.Run as root:
# groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege # groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files # useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle # passwd oracle # mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01 # mkdir -p /u02/oradata/data # chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02
OTN instruction:-
Before installing Automatic Storage Management, it is recommended that
you install
the optional add-on Automatic Storage Management support library,
ASMLib.
ASMLib is an application program interface (API) Oracle that is aimed
at simplifying the interface between the operating system and the
database, and to exploit the capabilities and strengths of storage
arrays provided by different vendors. ASMLib provides an alternative
interface for the Automatic Storage Management-enabled kernel to
discover and access block devices. It provides storage and operating
system vendors the opportunity to supply extended storage-related
features. These features provide benefits such as improved
performance and greater data integrity.
OTN instruction ends.
Regarding improved performance , please view:-

3. Run as root:-
# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.9-11.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
oracleasmlib-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm \
oracleasm-support-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Now you get /etc/init.d/oracleasm ready to run. Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]: oracle Default group to own the driver interface [dba]: dba Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [ OK ] Scanning system for ASM disks: [ OK ]
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm enable
Create ASM volumes as desired utilizing command:
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VLM0X /dev/sdx
Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login,
/etc/profile.
and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1].
Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
OTN instructions:-
It’s recommended that you install Automatic Storage Management in its
own Oracle home, regardless of whether you plan to only have one or
multiple database instances.
Installing Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home helps
ensure higher
availability and manageability.With separate Oracle homes, you can
upgrade Automatic
Storage Management and databases independently, and you can remove
database software without impacting the Automatic Storage Management
instance. Ensure that the Automatic Storage Management version is the
same or later than the Oracle Database version. If an Automatic
Storage Management installation does not already exist and you select
the Oracle Universal Installer option to install and configure
Automatic Storage Management only, then Oracle Universal Installer
installs Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home.
OTN instruction ends.
Select " Advanced installation" and
create ASM instance with
$ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
Create volume group during this run .
Exit installer.
$ /runInstaller
Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed
into existing volume's
group with $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_2 .
Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle.
Next:-
$ sqlplus /nolog

SQL> shutdown immediate;

Open Enterpise Manager console.(Enterprise Manager 10g Database

System startup in this case should look like:- [oracle_at_ServerCentOS41 ~]$ ./lsnrstart

Install described above was done with different Oracle Homes
for ASM instance and ASM-database.
To put ASM instance and ASM-database in same Oracle Home.
Start runInstaller just once to build all stuff at a time.Login as
oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller
Select " Advanced option" and install "Software only"
in ORACLE_HOME - /u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1.
Modify oracle's bash_profile:-
export ORACLE_HOME and new PATH.
Source new bash_profile:-
$. ~oracle/.bash_profile
$dbca
During this run the request to start CRS daemons by root will come up.
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add
ASM instance , needed volume's groups and ASM-database itself will be
created.
Then perform listener and local TNS names configuration.
$netca
