Oracle 12c Grid Infrastructure Installation on Solaris 11 standalone

In this article i will demonstrate Installation of  Oracle 12c grid Infrastructure software on  oracle Solaris 11 - X86 (64-bit) and creation of 12c Database on ASM Disk group.

Step-By-Step actions:

1) Download software for Solaris X86-64 Bit architecture.
2) Configure OS perquisites.
3) Install Oracle 12c Grid Infrastructure software.
4) Install 12c RDBMS software and create database on ASM Storage.

Configuration of OS Pre-requistes:
  • create OS user and group
  • create directories for software and change permissions accordingly
  • configure kernel parameters
  • set proper display variable
  • start Installation
- create OS user ad group
- 

root@solaris11:~#groupadd dba
root@solaris11:~#useradd -g dba -d /export/home/ora12c -m ora12c
 

- create directory structure

root@solaris11:~#mkdir -p /ora1/grid    [GI Home]
root@solaris11:~#mkdir -p /ora1/ora12c   [RDBMS Home]
root@solaris11:~#chmod -R 775 /ora1/grid
root@solaris11:~#chown -R ora11g:dba /ora1/grid
root@solaris11:~#chmod -R 775 /ora1/ora12c
root@solaris11:~#chown -R ora11g:dba /ora1/ora12c
 

- configure kernel parameters:

root@solaris11:~# projadd ora12c
root@solaris11:~# cat /etc/user_attr
#
# The system provided entries are stored in different files
# under "/etc/user_attr.d".  They should not be copied to this file.
#
# Only local changes should be stored in this file.
# This line should be kept in this file or it will be overwritten.
#
root@solaris11:~# vi /etc/user_attr
root@solaris11:~# cat /etc/user_attr
#
# The system provided entries are stored in different files
# under "/etc/user_attr.d".  They should not be copied to this file.
#
# Only local changes should be stored in this file.
# This line should be kept in this file or it will be overwritten.
#
ora12c::::project=ora12c
root@solaris11:~# 

- Add listed above entry in file /etx/user_attr

 

- login with ora12c user in other terminal and execute the following commands:

root@solaris11:~# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project ora12c
root@solaris11:~# projmod -s -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4gb,deny)" ora12c
root@solaris11:~# 



root@solaris11:~# cat /etc/project 
system:0::::
user.root:1::::
noproject:2::::
default:3::::
group.staff:10::::
ora11g:100::::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4294967296,deny)
root@solaris11:~# 
 

- Install package pkg://install/library/motif. If you do not Install this package runInstaller will not work

- Configure OS Disks
  
I have added 2 disks for 2 ASM diskgroups (1 - GI and 2 - DATA)

Make sure the ora12c is owner for these decives:

root@solaris11:/dev/rdsk# ls -lhL /dev/rdsk/c7t2d0s0

Its really a nice gesture by you in comimng up with such a hands-on article on oracle 12c grid infrastructure installation. Thanks for your efforts.

I would really appreciate if you can let us know more in detail the section where you added ASM disks.

Would you please let us know how, and using what procedure did you added these disks. People like me who would like to do such an installation and do not have access to SAN or NAS storage, so how can this be achieved by using ones local disk partitions...??

Thanks in advance... :-)

Enable Desktop on Oracle Solaris 11.4

Oracle Solaris 11 installation has multiple options to choose for installation of an Operating Environment, but mostly Oracle Solaris text install media is used and this installation media doesn't offer the GUI Desktop Environment by default after the installation. This blog post will explain how we can enable the desktop for Oracle Solaris 11.4 operating system, after the completion of installation. We have to install "solaris-desktop" package and reboot the machine and GUI desktop will be enabled for the Operating System. In this blog post my virtual machine is connected to the internet and hence I am able to use available pupblic repository for package installation, if in case internet is not available for the server/machine then we have configure the local/Server  repository for the installation. Follow the below steps for desktop package installation: After installation of dekstop package we are now able to login with GUI desktop environment...

Oracle Applications R12.2 Installation on Linux using virtual box

Oracle E-Business suite R12.2 is released a month ago. I received too many requests from my followers to demonstrate this Installation. This is a step by step detailed article for Installing Oracle E-business suite R12,2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.7 (64-bit). I've used oracle virtual box for Installing Linux. Note:  This Installation is demonstrated on virtual machine with 8GB RAM and Installation completed in 7 hours. I am not sure whether this Installation will work with less than this .  My Virtual Machine configuration: CPU    = 1 core RAM   = 8 GB HDD   =  380 GB Software's Required: 1) Oracle Virtual Box 2) Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.7 (64-bit) 3) Oracle E-Business suite R12.2 for LinuxX86-64-bit Installation Steps: Hardware requirements Create virtual machine and Install operating system Operating System pre-requisites Prepare Stage Area Install Oracle EBS R12.2 software Verify Insta...
