www.oraerp.com - The Knowledge Center for Oracle ERP Professionals - Looking Beyond the Possibilities

Partitioning allows you to divide your hard drive into isolated sections, where each
section behaves as its own hard drive.

10-We will choose "Create custom layout" and create the partitions as we need on the
disk based on the space requirement for installation of Oracle eBusiness Suite R12.1.1

Mount Point: Enter the partition's mount point. For example, if this partition should
be the root partition, enter /; enter /boot for the /boot partition, and so on. You can
also use the pull-down menu to choose the correct mount point for your partition. For
a swap partition the mount point should not be set - setting the filesystem type to swap
is sufficient.
File System Type: Using the pull-down menu, select the appropriate file system type
for this partition. Usually we will choose default file system.
Allowable Drives: This field contains a list of the hard disks installed on your system.
If a hard disk's box is highlighted, then a desired partition can be created on that hard
disk.
Size (MB): Enter the size (in megabytes) of the partition. Note, this field starts with
100 MB; unless changed, only a 100 MB partition will be created.
Additional Size Options: Choose whether to keep this partition at a fixed size, to
allow it to "grow" (fill up the available hard drive space) to a certain point, or to allow
it to grow to fill any remaining hard drive space available.
If you choose Fill all space up to (MB), you must give size constraints in the field to
the right of this option. This allows you to keep a certain amount of space free on your
hard drive for future use.
Force to be a primary partition: Select whether the partition you are creating should
be one of the first four partitions on the hard drive. If unselected, the partition is
created as a logical partition Encrypt: Choose whether to encrypt the partition so that
the data stored on it cannot be accessed without a passphrase, even if the storage
device is connected to another system
OK: Select OK once you are satisfied with the settings and wish to create the
partition

12-A root partition (3.0 GB - 5.0 GB) this is where "/" (the root directory) is
located. In this setup, all files (except those stored in /boot) are on the root partition.
A 3.0 GB partition allows you to install a minimal installation, while a 5.0 GB root
partition lets you perform a full installation, choosing all package groups.
In this installation we have chooses 8GB space of the disk.

13-A /boot/ partition (250 MB) the partition mounted on /boot/ contains the
operating system kernel (which allows your system to boot Red Hat Enterprise
Linux), along with files used during the bootstrap process. Due to limitations, creating
a native ext3 partition to hold these files is required.
For most users, a 250 MB boot partition is sufficient
For this installation we have chooses partition size 600m.

14- A swap partition (at least 256 MB) swap partitions are used to support virtual
memory. In other words, data is written to a swap partition when there is not enough
RAM to store the data your system is processing.
In years past, the recommended amount of swap space increased linearly with the
amount of RAM in the system. But because the amount of memory in modern systems
has increased into the hundreds of gigabytes, it is now recognized that the amount of
swap space that a system needs is a function of the memory workload running on that
system.
However, given that swap space is usually designated at install time, and that it can be
difficult to determine beforehand the memory workload of a system, Red Hat
recommend determining system swap using the following table. For further details
check on redhat.com
Recommended System Swap Space
Amount of RAM in the System
4GB of RAM or less
4GB to 16GB of RAM
16GB to 64GB of RAM
64GB to 256GB of RAM
256GB to 512GB of RAM

Recommended Amount of Swap Space


a minimum of 2GB of swap space
a minimum of 4GB of swap space
a minimum of 8GB of swap space
a minimum of 16GB of swap space
a minimum of 32GB of swap space

15- This partition will be /u01, a partition that will be used specifically for oracle
software and database files. I am setting the size Fill to maximum allowable size

16- This screen will ask you if you want to keep the boot record on the disk or not.
Keep the defaults and press next To boot the system without boot media, you usually
need to install a boot loader.
A boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is
responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel
software. The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system.
GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader), which is installed by default, is a very powerful
boot loader. GRUB can load a variety of free operating systems, as well as proprietary
operating systems with chain-loading (the mechanism for loading unsupported
operating systems, such as DOS or Windows, by loading another boot loader).

20- Setting up a root account and password is one of the most important steps
during your installation. Your root account is similar to the administrator account
used on Windows NT machines. The root account is used to install packages,
upgrade RPMs, and perform most system maintenance. Logging in as root gives
you complete control over your system.
Provide the password for the root (Administrator User in Linux) user

DNS Parameter:
Two Domain Name System (DNS) resolver parameters (timeout and attempts) are set
by default to low values when the operating system is installed. These low values may
cause attempted network connections to an Oracle database to fail. If this happens,
add or update the following entries to these minimum settings in the /etc/resolv.conf
file on each server node

OS Library Patch for Oracle HTTP Server - on RHEL 5
Download and apply the patch 6078836 from My Oracle Support to fix an issue with
the Oracle HTTP Server (missing libdb.so.2) bundled with the E-Business Suite
technology stack.
Note that this patch (which includes a required operating system library) must be
applied before installing Oracle E-Business Suite.

unzip the patch

Then we copy to /usr/lib.


[root@oraerp 6078836] $ cp libdb.so.2 /usr/lib
[root@ oraerp lib]# cd /usr/lib
[root@ oraerp lib]# pwd
/usr/lib
[root@ oraerp lib]# ls libdb.so*

Link to Motif library in Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 (on Oracle Linux 5, RHEL 5,
Oracle Linux 6 and RHEL 6 only)
Perform the following command (as root on your system) to update a required link to
a Motif library prior to relinking or patching the 10.1.2 Application Server Oracle
Home:
# unlink /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6
Without this updated link, you may see the following errors during a relink of the
10.1.2 Oracle Home:
/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail@GLIBC_2.4'
/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to `__fprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.3.4'
/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to `__sprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.3.4'
Since the ldconfig command overrides this link, the above link command (ln) will
have to be re-issued after running the ldconfig command.
Create Operating System Accounts:
Before running Rapid Install, we must create the operating system users/accounts that
will be used:

in the installation of the database node: the oracle account

The operating system user that owns the database node file system and starts the
database node services is called the oracle user.
Redhat Linux Installation for Oracle E-business Suite R-12

www.oraerp.com - The Knowledge Center for Oracle ERP Professionals - Looking Beyond the Possibilities

and Applications node file systems: the applmgr account

The operating system user that owns the Applications node file system and starts the
Applications node services is called the applmgr user. The applmgr user is the account
that owns the Applications node technology stack (APPL_TOP, COMMON_TOP,
OracleAS 10.1.2 Oracle Home, and OracleAS 10.1.3 1-14 Oracle E-Business Suite
Installation Guide: Using Rapid InstallOracle Home).
The names of these accounts must be the same on all nodes in an Oracle E-Business
Suite system.
You can perform (Reference - Page 27 - For linux user):

a single-user installation: one user for the two account


a Multi-user installations: one user by account.

The default name for the oracle user is ora<SID>. For example, for a production
(ORAERPPROD) environment, the default Oracle OS username might be oraerpprod.
For the applmgr user, the default name is appl<SID>. For example, for a Vision
Demo (VIS) environment, the default Apps OS username might be applvis.
Two common groups that are defined in installations are:

the oinstall group (which owns the Oracle Inventory information)


and the dba group whose members have SYSDBA privileges of the database.

groupadd dba
useradd -m -g dba oravis
passwd oraerpvision
useradd -m -g dba applvis
passwd oraerpappl

Inventory Directory - oraInst.loc


Refer MOS note 405293.1, on all platforms except Windows, oraInst.loc must exist
and point to a valid inventory directory. Specifically:

oraInst.loc must be located in /etc (for Linux and IBM AIX) or /var/opt/oracle
(for Solaris, HP-UX PA RISC, and HP-UX Itanium)
oraInst.loc must point to a valid central inventory location
the central inventory location must be writable by the owner of the oracle files
and the application files

If oraInst.loc does not exist, create it in the proper directory. The contents should look
like this:

Redhat Linux Installation for Oracle E-business Suite R-12

www.oraerp.com - The Knowledge Center for Oracle ERP Professionals - Looking Beyond the Possibilities
inventory_loc=/d01/oracle/oraInventory

where: /d01/oracle/oraInventory points to the directory where the central inventory is


to be located and must be writable by the owner of the oracle files and the application
files.

Installation of EBS R 12.1.1:

With Rapid Install, you can perform the following tasks:

Install a new, fully configured Oracle E-Business Suite system, including the
latest certified Oracle E-Business Suite technology stack and all patches,
product family release update packs, release update packs, and other updates
available at the time of this Oracle E-Business Suite release.
Lay down the file system and configure server processes for an upgraded
system.
Install a new database node or Applications node technology stack.

Rapid Install employs a wizard that guides you through the screens used to carry out
the selected task. On the wizard screens, you enter configuration values for your
system; these will typically be saved in the Oracle E-Business Suite database for later
use.
Type of installation
Standard
In a new Standard installation, you define many aspects of the configuration. You will
need to choose where to install the required nodes (database node and primary
Applications node).
Express
In an Express installation, you set up a fully configured, single-user/single-machine
system using a few basic configuration parameters, such as database type and name,
top-level installation directory, and port pool choice. The remaining directory
specifications and mount points are supplied by Rapid Install using default values. An
Express installation includes a set of core products and uses the US7ASCII character
set.
