Installing Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) on CentOS 4.1 (RHEL AS 4 U1)

Actually , there are several nice articles on Oracle Technical Network
devoted to the same topic. What’s new may be said ? The target of publication is to highlight the optimal sequence of steps required to bring Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) ASM-database up on CentOS4.1 , placing ASM instance and serviced databases in different Oracle Homes. Oracleasm library install is done immediately after creating "oracle" linux account and "dba" group to be ready for ASM Instance creating during the first Installer run supposed to build it. ASM instance for volumes and volume’s group management is created the first by Installer along with the volume’s group for database supposed to be built during the second run of Installer and to be placed into recently created volume’s group

1.Install CentOS 4.1
2.Run as root:

# groupadd dba # group of users to be granted SYSDBA system privilege
# groupadd oinstall # group owner of Oracle files
# useradd -c "Oracle software owner" -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
# mkdir -p /u02/oradata/data
# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u02

OTN instruction:-
Before installing Automatic Storage Management, it is recommended that you install
the optional add-on Automatic Storage Management support library, ASMLib.
ASMLib is an application program interface (API) Oracle that is aimed at simplifying the interface between the operating system and the database, and to exploit the capabilities and strengths of storage arrays provided by different vendors. ASMLib provides an alternative interface for the Automatic Storage Management-enabled kernel to discover and access block devices. It provides storage and operating system vendors the opportunity to supply extended storage-related features. These features provide benefits such as improved performance and greater data integrity. OTN instruction ends.

Regarding improved performance , please view:-

Optimizing Oracle 10g on Linux: Non-RAC ASM vs. LVM By Bert Scalzo on Wed, 2005-08-31 01:00. Software http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8539

3. Run as root:-

# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.9-11.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \ oracleasmlib-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm \
oracleasm-support-2.0.0-1.i386.rpm

Now you get /etc/init.d/oracleasm ready to run. Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.

# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure

Default user to own the driver interface [oracle]: oracle Default group to own the driver interface [dba]: dba Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y Fix permissions of Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: [ OK ] Scanning system for ASM disks: [ OK ]

# /etc/init.d/oracleasm enable

Create ASM volumes as desired utilizing command:

# /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VLM0X /dev/sdx

Tune /etc/sysctl.conf,/etc/security/limits.conf,/etc/pam.d/login,
/etc/profile.

and oracle's shell environment as advised in [1]. Login as oracle:-

$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller

OTN instructions:-
It’s recommended that you install Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home, regardless of whether you plan to only have one or multiple database instances.
Installing Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home helps ensure higher
availability and manageability.With separate Oracle homes, you can upgrade Automatic
Storage Management and databases independently, and you can remove database software without impacting the Automatic Storage Management instance. Ensure that the Automatic Storage Management version is the same or later than the Oracle Database version. If an Automatic Storage Management installation does not already exist and you select the Oracle Universal Installer option to install and configure Automatic Storage Management only, then Oracle Universal Installer installs Automatic Storage Management in its own Oracle home. OTN instruction ends.

Select " Advanced installation" and
create ASM instance with
$ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 Create volume group during this run .
Exit installer.

$ /runInstaller

Select " Advanced installation" and create new ASM-database placed into existing volume's
group with $ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_2 . Modify ~oracle/.bash_profile correspondently.Relogin as oracle. Next:-

$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 285212672 bytes Fixed Size 1218968 bytes
Variable Size 88082024 bytes
Database Buffers 188743680 bytes
Redo Buffers 7168000 bytes
Database mounted.
SQL> alter database archivelog;
Database altered.
SQL> alter database MastDB flashback on; Database altered.
SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.

Open Enterpise Manager console.(Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control URL
http://ServerCentOS41:1158/em). Create new volume's group for flashback recovery area and modify corresponding value on Recovery Settings page of EM.

System startup in this case should look like:- [oracle_at_ServerCentOS41 ~]$ ./lsnrstart

Install described above was done with different Oracle Homes for ASM instance and ASM-database.
To put ASM instance and ASM-database in same Oracle Home. Start runInstaller just once to build all stuff at a time.Login as oracle:-
$ cd /tmp/database
$./runInstaller

Select " Advanced option" and install "Software only" in ORACLE_HOME - /u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1. Modify oracle's bash_profile:-
export ORACLE_HOME and new PATH.
Source new bash_profile:-

$. ~oracle/.bash_profile
$dbca

During this run the request to start CRS daemons by root will come up.

# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig add

ASM instance , needed volume's groups and ASM-database itself will be created.
Then perform listener and local TNS names configuration. $netca
