Checking the Hardware Requirements Memory Requirements. The following are the memory requirements for installing Oracle Database 1. Release 2 1. 1. 2 Minimum 1 GB of RAMRecommended 2 GB of RAM or more. To determine the RAM size, enter the following command grep Mem. Total procmeminfo. Mem. Total procmeminfo. Mem. Total 5. B. rootrhel. So on our system we got 5. Gs that should be plenty for our small test systems
If the size of the RAM is less than the required size, then you must install more memory before continuing. The following table describes the relationship between installed RAM and the configured swap space recommendation Quick Note On Linux, the Huge. Pages feature allocates non swappable memory for large page tables using memory mapped files. If you enable Huge. Pages, then you should deduct the memory allocated to Huge. Pages from the available RAM before calculating swap space. Available RAM Swap Space Required. Between 1 GB and 2 GB 1. RAM. Between 2 GB and 1. GB Equal to the size of the RAM. More than 1. 6 GB 1. GB. To determine whether the system architecture can run the software, enter the following command rootrhel. This command displays the processor type. Verify that the processor architecture matches the Oracle software release to install. If you do not see the expected output, then you cannot install the software on this system. RHEL implementation was no necessary but If in your its, then quicklyfollow 6. Creating a Swap File from RHEL 6 docshttp docs. USRedHatEnterpriseLinux5htmlDeploymentGuides. To add a swap file 1. Determine the size of the new swap file in megabytes and multiply by 1. For example, the block size of a 6. MB swap file is 6. At a shell prompt as root, type the following command with count being equal to the desired block size 
dd ifdevzero ofswapfile bs1. Setup the swap file with the command 
mkswap swapfile. To enable the swap file immediately but not automatically at boot time 
swapon swapfile. To enable it at boot time, edit etcfstab to include the following entry 
swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
The next time the system boots, it enables the new swap file. After adding the new swap file and enabling it, verify it is enabled by viewing the output of the command cat procswaps or free. To determine the available RAM and swap space, enter the following command free. Mem 5. 99. Swap 6. So it looks like were all good so far. Important Note Oracle recommends that you take multiple values for the available RAM and swap space before finalizing a value. This is because the available RAM and swap space keep changing depending on the user interactions with the computer. Contact your operating system vendor for swap space allocation guidance for your server. The vendor guidelines supersede the swap space requirements listed in this guide. Automatic Memory Management. Starting with Oracle Database 1. Automatic Memory Management feature requires more shared memory devshmand file descriptors. The shared memory should be sized to be at least the greater of MEMORYMAXTARGET and MEMORYTARGET for each Oracle instance on that computer. To determine the amount of shared memory available, enter the following command df h devshm. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use Mounted on. G 4. 00. K 3. 0. G 1 devshm. Another note MEMORYMAXTARGET and MEMORYTARGET cannot be used when LOCKSGA is enabled or with Huge. Pages on Linux. Disk Space Requirements. The following are the disk space requirements for installing Oracle Database 1. Release 2 1. 1. 2 At least 1 GB of disk space in the tmp directory. To determine the amount of disk space available in the tmp directory, enter the following command df h tmp. Filesystem Size Used Avail Use Mounted on. G 5. 2. G 5. 1. G 5. Were all good here or we shall see later on on the install process if need your sys admin will assist you with this or at least mine does. If there is less than 1 GB of free disk space available in the tmp directory, then complete one of the following steps Delete unnecessary files from the tmp directory to meet the disk space requirement. Set the TMP and TMPDIR environment variables when setting the oracle users environment. Now lets make sure we the least require space using df h. Installation Type Requirement for Software Files GB. Enterprise Edition 4. Installation Type Requirement for Data Files GB. Enterprise Edition 1. Additional disk space, either on a file system or on an Oracle Automatic Storage Management disk group is required for the fast recovery area if you choose to configure automated backups. Checking the Software Requirements Depending on the products that you intend to install, verify that the following softwares are installed on the system, but since were focusing on 1. R2 on RHEL 6. 3 then well just jump into itNote Oracle Universal Installer performs checks on the system to verify that it meets the listed requirements. To ensure that these checks pass, verify the requirements before you start Oracle Universal Installer. Operating System Requirements. For this implementation were focusing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 with the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for LinuxStarting with Oracle Database 1. Release 2 1. 1. 2, the Security Enhanced Linux SE Linux feature is supported for Oracle Linux 4, Oracle Linux 5, Oracle Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Oracle RAC 1. 1g Database on Linux Using Virtual. Box. By Sergei Romanenko. Yamaha Motorcycle Serial Number 9 Digit Zip Codes on this page. August December, 2. This article describes the installation of Oracle Database 1. RAC on Linux Oracle Linux 6. Virtual. Box 4. 1. See also Oracle RAC 1. Database on Linux Using Virtual. Box. If you want to get through all steps of the Oracle RAC installation and your laptop or desktop computer has 8 GB or more of RAM. Oracle Virtual. Box as demonstrated in this article. You can get a running RAC system which can host a small test database. The created system is not, and should not be considered, a production ready system. Its simply to allow you to get used to installing and using RAC and test various administration procedures. The article also explains how to save the images and restore RAC from the images in a matter of minutes. Even if you break your test system, it will be easy to restore. This article uses the 6. Oracle Linux, version 6. Oracle 1. 1g Release 2, version 1. Using Virtual. Box you can run multiple Virtual Machines VMs on a single server. RAC nodes on a single machine. In addition, it allows you to set up shared virtual disks. The finished system includes two guest operating systems. Oracle Grid Infrastructure Clusterware ASM and two Database instances all on a single server. The amount of disk space needed is about 3. GB, if you want to save images of the finished RAC, another 1. GB of the disk space will be needed. This article was originally inspired by the article. Oracle Database 1. Release 2 RAC On Linux Using Virtual. Box. written by Tim Hall and published in his blog. Then it was almost entirely revised and reworked, now this article seems to have very little resemblance with the original work. When this article was written, Oracle Database 1. Release 2 1. 1. 2. Linux 6. 4 bit both clusterware and database was available through the Oracle support to licensed customers only. As happened in the past, the Oracle corporation was making the latest version available to general public pretty soon. So I thought that using the latest and greatest version at the moment, with many bugs fixed, will be the best way to go. But now is end of 2. I apologize for this inconvenience and suggest to find any possible way to get this version. It doesnt make sense to fight issues and research workarounds for bugs already fixed. Ask your friends who have access to Oracle support to help. And, if you can, bother the Oracle corporation to make the latest version available for download. As of now, 1. 1. 2. Oracle support site, in Patches Updates, then select Latest Patchsets, then select Oracle Database, then select Linux x. The number of this patch set is 1. This patch set is a full installation of the Oracle Database software. This means that you do not need to install Oracle Database 1. Release 2 1. 1. 2. Oracle Database 1. Release 2 1. 1. 2. For installing RAC database you will need only 3 files. Oracle Database includes Oracle Database and Oracle RAC, part 1. Linux x. 86 6. 41of. G. Oracle Database includes Oracle Database and Oracle RAC, part 2. Linux x. 86 6. 42of. G. Oracle Grid Infrastructure includes Oracle ASM, Oracle Clusterware. Linux x. 86 6. 43of. M. System Requirements. GB of RAM 3. 2 GB of free space on the hard disk This procedure was tested on 6. Windows 7. Although there should be no problems using Virtual. Box on other Host OSes. Please let me know if you had success or problems in other OSes Download Software. Download the following software. Virtual Machine Setup. In this exercise, we are using Virtual. Box installed on 6. Windows 7. Now we must define the two virtual RAC nodes. We can save time by defining one VM, then cloning it when it is installed. Start Virtual. Box and click the New button on the toolbar. Click the Next button on the first page of the Virtual Machine Wizard. Enter the name rac. OS Linux and Version Oracle 6. Next button. If you have 1. GB of RAM in your host system, then set Base Memory to 3. MB, otherwise. use 2. MB, as in the screenshot below, then click the Next button. Accept the default option to create a new virtual hard disk by clicking the Next button. Accept the default VDI type and click the Next button on the Virtual Disk Creation Wizard welcome screen. Accept the default Dynamically allocated option by clicking the Next button. Accept the default location and set the size to 1. G and click the Next button. Press the Create button on the Create New Virtual Disk Summary screen. Press the Create button on the Create New Virtual Machine Summary screen. The rac. 1 VM will appear on the left hand pane. Click on the Network link on the right side. Make sure Adapter 1 is enabled, attached to Internal Network or Host only Adapter. This inetrface will be used for public network, for example, for connection to the RAC datbase from other applications. More about networking will be explained later. On the screenshot below Internal Network is selected and name pubnet was given to this network. Then click on the Adapter 2 tab. Make sure Adapter 2 is enabled and attach to Internal Network. Name this network privnet. Then finally click on the Adapter 3, enable it, and attach to Bridged Adapter or NAT. This adapter will be used for internet. Then press OK button. Optionally, you can disable the audio card using Audio link. This will probably save some amount of space and avoid potential problems related to audio settings. Also if your system has 4 CPU cores or more, it will make sense to allocate 2 CPUs to the Virtual Machine. You can do that in System settings. The virtual machine is now configured so we can start the guest operating system installation. Guest Operating System Installation. Please note that during installation Virtual Box will be keeping the mouse pointer inside VM area. To exit, press Right Control key on the keyboard. Place the Oracle Linux 6. DVD in the DVD drive and skip next two screenshots. If you dont have DVD, download the. DVD. Select Storage link on the right hand pane of the Virtual. Box Manager screen to open Storage screen. Then select DVD drive in the Storage Tree section. In Attributes section click on the DVD disk icon and choose DVD. Note that name of the file shows in the Storage Tree. Then press OK. Start the virtual machine by clicking the Start button on the toolbar. The resulting console window will contain the Oracle Linux boot screen. Proceed with the Install or upgrade an existing system. Do not perform the media test. Choose Skip button. Start the virtual machine by clicking the Start button on the toolbar. The resulting console window will contain the Oracle Linux boot screen. Continue through the Oracle Linux installation as you would for a normal server. On next three screens select Language, Keyboard, and Basic Storage Devices type. Confirm to discard any data.
