Install Oracle Database 12.2(12c) on Linux

 

Introduction

Installing Oracle Database 12.2 on Linux system might seem daunting at first, but with the right guidance, it can be a smooth process. In this guide, we'll take you through the step-by-step procedure to install Oracle Database on a Linux environment. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a functional Oracle Database instance up and running.

Steps for Installation:

  • 1. Prerequisites Automatic Setup
  • 2. Prerequisites Manual Setup
  • 3. Install Oracle Database Binary (Software only)
  • 4. Create Database by DBCA

1. Prerequisites Automatic Setup

To perform all your prerequisite setup automatically, issue the following command or you can proceed with manual setup explained in 2nd point.

[root@prod]# yum install oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall -y

2. Prerequisites Manual Setup

a) Download and Unzip the oracle 12.2 Setup

Download or copy the oracle setup file to any location as per your requirement. In this case it is /u01.

Give chmod 775 permission to the setup file:
# chmod 775 <filename.zip>

Unzip Oracle_DB_12.2.zip:
Once unzipped it will show a folder named database at the unzipped location.

Give chmod 775 permission to database folder:
# chmod -R 775 database

b) Put a full hostname for the server in /etc/hosts file.

<IP-address> <full-host-name> <machine-name>

c) Add the following lines to the /etc/sysctl.conf file

fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 1073741824
kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104
kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 2
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 2
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500

Run the following commands to change the current kernel parameters.
/sbin/sysctl -p

d) Add the following lines to a file called /etc/security/limits.conf

oracle   soft   nofile    1024
oracle   hard   nofile    65536
oracle   soft   nproc    16384
oracle   hard   nproc    16384
oracle   soft   stack    10240
oracle   hard   stack    32768
oracle   hard   memlock    134217728
oracle   soft   memlock    134217728

e) Install Required Packages

The following packages are listed as required, including the 32-bit version of some of the packages. Many of the packages should be installed already. If you don't have internet in the machine in that case you can create local yum repository in linux to install these packages.

yum install binutils -y
yum install compat-libstdc++-33 -y
yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i686 -y
yum install gcc -y
yum install gcc-c++ -y

yum install make -y
yum install sysstat -y
yum install unixODBC -y
yum install unixODBC-devel -y
yum install zlib-devel -y
yum install zlib-devel.i686 -y

f) Create new groups, users & directories

groupadd -g 5001 oinstall
groupadd -g 5002 dba
groupadd -g 5003 oper


useradd -u 5007 -g oinstall -G dba,oper oracle
usermod -g oinstall -G dba,oper oracle


##set password of oracle by##

passwd oracle



##Create Directories and Give Permissions##

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01

g) Stop and Disable Firewall

Primary & Standby Database SYNC Check in Oracle Database

 In Oracle Data Guard , you can check whether the standby database is in sync with the primary database by monitoring the apply lag. The apply lag represents the time delay between when a redo log is generated on the primary database and when it is applied on the standby database. A zero or low apply lag indicates that the standby is relatively up-to-date with the primary, while a high apply lag suggests a potential synchronization delay. Here are some methods to check whether the standby database is in sync with the primary: 1. Data Guard Broker If you are using the Data Guard Broker, you can use the DGMGRL command-line interface or Enterprise Manager (Grid Control) to check the status of the Data Guard configuration and monitor the apply lag. For example, using DGMGRL: DGMGRL> SHOW DATABASE 'standby_database_name' APPLY_LAG; DGMGRL > SHOW DATABASE 'standby_database_name' APPLY_LAG ; 2. V$DATAGUARD_STATS View On the primary datab...
