Installation of 12c Grid Infrastructure on linux - configure ASM on 12c GridInfrastructure on Linux-64bit
This article demonstrates how to Install and configure newly released Oracle 12c Grid Infrastructure software on Linux-64 bit on standalone system.
I have configured this on OEL 5.7 64bit virtual machine with 4GB RAM and single core processor.
There no much difference in Installation procedure though there some new screens Introduced in this release.
New Options:
1) screen for root/sudo password for running root.sh scripts
2) Edit configuration at "summary of Installation" screen
3) Performing Linux operations
This is my second post on Oracle Database 12c. If you're following the steps for configuring GI 12c then please perform all OS per-requisites listed in post of oracle 12 database Installation:
12c Database Installation
Steps for configuring standalone Oracle 12c Grid Infrastructure Software:
1) Install addition OS packages (oracleasm - rpms)
2) Configure oracleasm and create asmdisks
3) Configure directory privileges for GI sw
4) Install Oracle 12c GI software for standalone configuraiton
5) Verify services
6) Create additional ASM diskgroup
1) Install addition OS packages (oracleasm - rpms)
Verify "oracleasm" rpms exist on system if doesn't exists then please Install it.

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1958.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

[root@linux1 ~]#Configure oracleasm driver and create asmdisks
Run following command to configure oracleasm driver and create asm disks for storing GI and DB:
[root@linux1 ~]# oracleasm configure -i
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is
loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting without typing an
answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
Default user to own the driver interface []: ora12c

[root@linux1 u01]#/code>4-Install Oracle 12c Grid Infrastructure Software
- Run xhost+
- set proper display variable
- login to oracle user
- runInstaller
> check on "change discovery path " and provide the valid path of oracleasm disks
- Provide the location of Oracle_base and Oracle_Home (GI sw)
- This is the new option Introduced in Oracle 12c GI. We can provide root/sudo user password and Installer itself will run post GI Installation script (root.sh)
- Installer looking for exact 4 GB memory (can be ignored)
- package nfs-utils-1.0.9.-54 exists on system (OEL 5.7), its looking for higher version (ignored)
- Another enhancement here. We can edit if some configuration changes are required on summary screen, No need to click on back button for editing configuration changes :)
- New screen - confirmation for running root.sh as root user
- New screen - Linux configuration
