Pre Installation log in as a root user check the ipaddress with this command ifconfig then go to /etc/hosts file

and edit the ipaddres at the eof. now set the kernel paramaters use vi /etc/sysctl.conf to change the parameters kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 # half the size of system RAM atleast kernel.shmmni = 4096 kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 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 edit that file and then from the promt issue this command /sbin/sysctl -p to check the new kernel values.. now create a new group and assing this group to a newuser groupadd dba useradd -g dba oracle #oracle is the username now change the password for the newly created user passwd oracle Edit the /etc/redhat-release file replacing the current release information (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga) ) with the following: redhat-4 If u are using rhel 5 then u need to run the following packages from the rhel 5 dvd cd /media/cdrom/Server rpm -Uvh setarch-2* rpm -Uvh make-3* rpm -Uvh glibc-2* rpm -Uvh libaio-0* rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-33-3* rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-34-3* rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-34-c++-3* rpm -Uvh gcc-4* rpm -Uvh libXp-1* ------now log out from root user and log in to the new user oracle go to home directory of oracle user and paste the oracle software in the home di rectory.... Installation launch a new terminal from the home directory unzip the .zip file unzip 10201_database_linux32.zip the files will be automatically extracted in the directory named as database in the /home directory. now cd /home/database ./runInstaller copy the oracle home path from the first page of installation /home/nik/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 install the software while dbase creation window (if u want to create dbase manually then exit the cr

eation window) and launch a terminal log in as root user and run these 2 scripts sh /home/nik/oraInventory/orainsRoot.sh and sh /home/nik/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/root.sh click next and the finish on the installation. Post Installation now vi .bash_profile add these lines at the end of the file export ORACLE_HOME=/home/nik/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 export ORACLE_SID=orcl export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH save the file and run it . .bash_profile now login to database sqlplus sys as sysdba if u get the sql prompt then be sure that the installation is done correctly. ---------------------------------------------------------
