Installing Oracle 11gR2 on RHEL 6.2
- by Chris
Hello all I'm having some difficulty installing Oracle 11gR2 on RHEL 6.2
I have compiled a giant list of every single step I have taken so far I installed RHEL 6.2 on VMWARE it did it's easy install automatically
I Selected 4gb of memory
Selected max size of 80Gb
Selected 2 processors
Sorry for the bad styling copy paste isn't working correctly
The version of oracle i downloaded is Linux x86-64 11.2.0.1
I am installing this on a local machine NOT a remote machine
I followed the following documentation
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24326/toc.htm
I bolded the steps which I was least sure about from my research
Easy installed with RHEL 6.2 for VMWARE
Registered with red hat so I can get updates
Reinstalled vmware-tools by pressing enter at every choice
Sudo yum update at the end something about GPG key selected y then y
Checked Memory Requirements

All looked fine to me except maybe for swap?

9. THIS IS PROBABLY WHERE I MESSED UP
I then exited out of the root account so now I'm back in my account chris then I
su - oracle
echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
umask
0022 (so it should be set already to what is neccesary)
Also from what I have read I do not need to set the DISPLAY variable because I'm installing this on the localhost
I then opened the .bash_profile of the oracle and changed it to the following
.bash_profile
Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin; export PATH
ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle
ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID
I then shutdown the virtual machine shared my desktop folder from my windows 7 then turned back on the virtual machine logged in as chris opened up a terminal then:
su -
for some reason the shared folder didn't appear so I reinstalled vmware tools again and restarted
then same as before
su -
cp -R linux_oracle/database /db; chown -R oracle:oinstall /db; chmod -R 775 /db; ll /db
