OS Users and group creation

# Add the group and usersgroupadd dbauseradd oracle -g dba useradd applmgr -g dbapasswd oracle (give the password for oracle)passwd applmgr (give the password for applmgr)

Permissions are given oracle and applmgr so that they can write to /d01/oracle

chgrp dba /d01/oraclechmod g+w /d01/oracle

Note: Please check whether oracle and applmgr are able to write to /d01/oraclesu – oraclecd /d01/oracletouch test.filerm test.filesu – applmgrcd /d01oracletouch test.filerm test.file

Check that the /etc/hosts entries are as follows

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost<ip address> <hostname>.<domainname> aliasname

My entries are as follows

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost192.168.1.100 linux1.com linux1

Restart the server or use run sysctl –p to avoid the restart the serversysctl -p

Set Up the Stage Area

Download the software from http://edelivery.oracle.com. It comes in zip format. Create a directory as /Stage11i with 25GB free space and unzip all the zip files.

Also the installation software comes in DVD format.

Insert the first DVD labeled Start Here and run adautostg.pl perl script

cd /media/cdrom/Disk1/rapidwiz/perl adautostg.pl and follow the instructions.

The individual disks included in the Release 11i software bundle are labeled as follows:

Start Here - Disk 1 APPL_TOP - Disk n RDBMS - Disk n Tools - Disk n Databases - Disk n

If you are an NLS customer, you should also have the NLS Supplement - Disk n software for each language (in addition to American English) you plan to install. You should order the NLS Supplement software and have it available before you begin the installation. Rapid Install requires this language-specific software to run to completion. The stage area created by adautostg.pl looks like this: a top-level directory , with subdirectories startCD, oraApps, oraDB, oraiAS, oraAppDB, and oraNLS/ (only if required).

To know the Rapid Install version

It is mandatory that you know the Rapid Install; I remember I wasted 2 months of time. The first CD is common to all the operating system. If any bugs found Oracle will rectify the first CD and upload the same to the Metalink. Always use the latest Rapid Install version.

So, the rapid Install version is 11.5.10.35.
