This manual describes how to install Oracle Database 12cR1 (12.1.0 )
Prereq
- Installation of Oracle Enterprise Linux
Software
The necessary software can be downloaded by clicking on the link below.
Display
If you do not work directly from the console, you can start a terminal session to the server.
On the server, the display must be exported to the machine from where you will perform the installation.

prompt> su - oracle oracle> export DISPLAY=<local hostname>:0.0 oracle> export TMP=/var/tmp oracle> export TEMP=/var/tmp |
VMware tools
In this installation we are using a virtual host. From the VMware vSphere client mount the VMWaretool iso file to the cd-rom player on the specific virtual host. When you are using a physical machine this step can be skipped.

root> /sbin/sysctl -p |
Limits.conf
Add the following below in the limits.conf file.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
prompt> su - root> vi /etc/security/limits.conf oracle soft nproc 2047 oracle hard nproc 16384 oracle soft nofile 1024 oracle hard nofile 65536 |
Login file
Add the line below in the login file, it will probably already exists.

Config selinux
Set secure Linux to permissive by editing the “/etc/selinux/config” file.
|
1 2 3 4 |
prompt> su - root> vi /etc/selinux/config SELINUX=permissive |
Once the change is complete, restart the server or run the following command.
|
1 |
root> setenforce permissive |
Environment variables
In the .bash_profile file in the home directory of the oracle user, set the path references so that they are automatically set when the user oracle logs in.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
prompt> su - oracle oracle> vi /home/oracle/.bash_profile MW_HOME=/prd_app/oracle/product/Middleware; export MW_HOME JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_17; export JAVA_HOME PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH |

prompt> su - oracle oracle> cd /u01/software oracle> unzip linuxamd64_12c_database_1of2.zip oracle> unzip linuxamd64_12c_database_2of2.zip |
There should now be a directory ‘database’ where you can find the installation files.
