Oracle AS101202 Installation Step on RHEL4

Oracle AS 1012.02 installation step on RHEL4 is summarized from Reference: Oracle® Application Server Quick Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for Linux x86

1) System hardware requirement.
Skip. No need to check, the runInstaller script will check for you.

2) Software dependency. Cut and paste the following command.
$ rpm -q glibc glibc-common binutils gcc gcc-c++ libstdc++ libstdc++-devel openmotif21 pdksh setarch make gnome-libs sysstat compat-db control-center xscreensaver
$ rpm -qa grep compat-libstdc++

3) Edit Kernel Parameters.

Execute $ ulimit -Hn
If the value is less than 65536, edit /etc/security/limits.conf
* soft nproc 2047
* hard nproc 16384
* soft nofile 2048
* hard nofile 65536

Edit /etc/sysctl.conf to include the following:
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142
fs.file-max = 131072
kernel.msgmni = 2878
kernel.msgmax = 8192
kernel.msgmnb = 65535

4) Edit /etc/hosts such that the machine has a proper domain name.
Eg. 10.206.100.76 as1012.domain.com as1012

5) As root, add oracle user and oinstall group.
# /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
# /usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall oracle

Set password for newly created user,
# passwd oracle

6) As root user, execute xhost + to enable any user to startup graphical interface.

7) As oracle user, execute /media/cdrom/disk1/runInstaller
