2. USERS & GROUPS

Create grid and oracle users with the properties shown below. Oracle user shoud

already be there (yum)

$> id grid uid=54324(grid) gid=54321(oinstall) groups=54321(oinstall),54322(dba),54326(asmdba),54327(asmadmin) $> id oracle uid=54321(oracle) gid=54321(oinstall) groups=54321(oinstall),54322(dba),54326(asmdba)

3. ADDITIONAL CONFIG

3.1. Edit user process parameter. MOS Note [ID 1487773.1] Edit “/etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf” file and change the line

* soft nproc 1024

To

* - nproc 16384

$> cat /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf # Default limit for number of user's processes to prevent # accidental fork bombs. # See rhbz #432903 for reasoning. #* soft nproc 1024 * - nproc 16384 root soft nproc unlimited

3.2. Disable SELINUX

Edit /etc/selinux/config file and set the SELINUX parameter as below:

$> cat /etc/selinux/config # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=disabled # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values: # targeted - Targeted processes are protected, # mls - Multi Level Security protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted

3.3. Disable Firewall

$> service iptables stop $> chkconfig iptables off

3.4. Edit "/etc/security/limits.conf" file and add the following lines

oracle soft nofile 1024 oracle hard nofile 65536 oracle soft nproc 16384 oracle hard nproc 16384 oracle soft stack 10240 oracle hard stack 32768 grid soft nofile 1024 grid hard nofile 65536 grid soft nproc 16384 grid hard nproc 16384 grid soft stack 10240 grid hard stack 32768

4. DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

mkdir -p /u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid chown -R grid:oinstall /u01 chmod -R 775 /u01 mkdir -p /u02/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/db_1/ chown -R oracle:oinstall /u02 chmod -R 775 /u02
