Tutorial Target and Description

This tutorial describes the hands-on practical procedure to install Oracle Database 12c R1 (12.1.0.2) on a Linux server 64-bit (Oracle Linux 6.7).
This appliance will be later used in the practices of this course.
Note: If you have your own Virtual machine which has Oracle 12c Database installed in it, you can use it for the course practices and skip all
this practice. However, all the code examples in the course were derived from a virtual appliance that had been built using this practice.
Therefore, I recommend you to build a virtual appliance using this practice tutorial.
Practice Plan
1. Clone the Oracle Linux pre-built VM appliance from a seed
2. Create virtual hard disks for ASM
3. Alter network configuration and hostname
4. Set up environment variables for OS accounts: grid and oracle
5. Install Oracle ASM packages
6. Create ASM disk volumes
7. Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure software
8. Create ASM disk groups
9. Install Oracle database software
10. Create an Oracle database
Note: Download the required software and packages before you start implementing the tutorial.

Tutorial Procedure
1. Clone the Oracle Linux pre-built VM appliance from an Oracle VirtualBox which has a fresh
installation of Oracle Linux 6.7 64-bit
Make sure you have enough free disk space to clone the appliance
by Ahmed Baraka
Depending on your hardware specs, it roughly may take between 10 and 40 minutes to finish.
by Ahmed Baraka
2. Create virtual hard disks for ASM

We create 3 virtual disks CRSDISK1 (2GB), DATADISK1(50GB) & FRADISK1(50GB).
by Ahmed Baraka
Repeat the procedure to create DATADISK1(50GB) & FRADISK1(50GB).
by Ahmed Baraka
by Ahmed Baraka
3. Alter network configuration and hostname
Make the Network Adapter Bridged:
First, make sure the Network adapter in the appliance settings is attached to Bridged Adapter. This will make your VM appliance appears in your
network as a separate host and will be assigned an IP address based on your network configuration. For more information, check out this
documentation.
Fix the MAC Address of the eth0
When you make a clone of a VM appliance, the MAC address of the network card of the cloned appliance will be changed. This will make Linux
add a new device eth1 and the old one eth0 will be inactive. You need to fix this later in the practice.
Obtain the new MAC address from the Settings of the Clone appliance:
Startup the VM appliance and login as root.
Make sure the firewall is disabled
service iptables stop

chkconfig iptables off
Open a terminal window and edit the udev rule for network devices /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
by Ahmed Baraka
Delete the section lines in the file that belongs to the old MAC address, i.e. delete the rule for eth1
Copy the new mac address to the line of your eth0:
Enter the new MAC address in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 as well:
Reboot
Perform the Network configuration

Obtain the DNS sever IP address configured in your network because later we will need to set the DNS server in the VM appliance.
Note: If you do not know the DNS IP address in your network, try the following command in the command prompt in the host machine
C:\>ipconfig /all | find "DNS"

..
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
..
by Ahmed Baraka
Obtain the IP address assigned to the VM appliance and take a note of it.
We are going to make the IP Address assigned to the appliance a static IP.
Login as root and open a terminal window.
Run system-config-network command.
The utility window will open. Make sure the Device Configuration select and press ENTER
Select eth0 and press ENTER
by Ahmed Baraka
Enter the IP address of the machine and DNS and Gateway IP addresses taken from the previous step:
Note: if you find an asterisk symbol on the Use DHCP, you can remove it using the SPACE key on the keyboard.
Confirm the configuration modifications in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 :
[root@srv1 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID=92a5490b-1a26-46ea-8806-2d61037cdb56

USERCTL=no
by Ahmed Baraka
IPADDR=192.168.1.144
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
Update /etc/hosts file
vi /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
192.168.1.144 srv1.localdomain srv1
Test the changes:
[root@srv1 ~]# ping srv1

PING srv1.localdomain (192.168.1.144) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from srv1.localdomain (192.168.1.144): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.015 ms
64 bytes from srv1.localdomain (192.168.1.144): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.024 ms
^C
Reboot
Connect to the VM appliance using Putty

Putty is a nice utility which provides a command prompt from Windows client to connect to Linux server. Lets configure it here to connect to our
VM appliance.
Start Putty and connect to the VM:

5. Install Oracle ASM packages

Verify oracleasm package is installed:
[root@srv1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep oracleasm

oracleasm-support-2.1.8-1.el6.x86_64
Install Oracle ASMLib package (it takes a few minutes to download and install, the VM machine should be able to connect to the Internet)
The oracleasm kernel driver for the 64-bit (x86_64) Red Hat Compatible Kernel for Oracle Linux 6 can be installed manually from ULN or
http://public-yum.oracle.com using the yum tool:
# yum install kmod-oracleasm
Further information can be obtained from a page in Oracle site titled:"Oracle ASMLib Downloads for Oracle Linux 6"

Configure and load the ASM kernel module:
[root@srv1 ~]# 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 <ENTER> without typing an
answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
Default user to own the driver interface []: grid

Default group to own the driver interface []: dba

6. Create ASM disk volumes
List the disks in the OS, you should see the disks created earlier:
[root@srv1 ~]# fdisk -l | grep "Disk /dev/sd"

Disk /dev/sda: 107.4 GB, 107374182400 bytes
Disk /dev/sdb: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes
Disk /dev/sdc: 53.7 GB, 53687091200 bytes
Disk /dev/sdd: 53.7 GB, 53687091200 bytes
In order to use those disks with ASM, partitions should be created in them.
use fdisk <device file>
then press: n, p, 1, ENTER, ENTER, w to apply changes
Do this for all the disks which have the sizes 2,50,50 GB. In my case they were sdb,sdc,sdd
Following is the output done on sdb:
[root@srv1 ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb

Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xd2973f79.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to

switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to

Reboot!
by Ahmed Baraka
7. Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure software

Copy the installation files to the VM appliance:
Use WinSCP to copy Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation files to the VM appliance. As grid user, I created the directory /home/grid/source
to copy the installation files to it
su - grid
mkdir source
After the files were copied, as root, make grid user and oinstall group the owner of the installation files:
su -
chown grid:oinstall /home/grid/source/linuxamd64_12102_grid_*
Run Xming and configure Putty for it
Run Xming to view Oracle GUI Installer windows in your host Windows client machine. You should see its icon in the task bar mini icons.
Then, you need to configure PyTTY session with port forwarding enabled to be able to display GUI windows via Xming server and test it with
xclock command.
by Ahmed Baraka
Xclock is not installed in our appliance. To install it, simply run the following command:
yum install xclock
Run xclock to test the configuration changes. You should see the clock application running in your host Windows machine:
Switch to grid user install the software
Switch to grid user then use xauth command to set our session cookies for X11 forwarding to work
[root@srv1 ~]# xauth list

srv1.localdomain/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 1f999629ceb74de9c492b1129e243877
[root@srv1 ~]# su - grid
[grid@srv1 ~]$ xauth add srv1.localdomain/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 1f999629ceb74de9c492b1129e243877
xauth: creating new authority file /home/grid/.Xauthority
[grid@srv1 ~]$ export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
Unzip the installation files and run the installer:
cd source
unzip linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip > /dev/null
unzip linuxamd64_12102_grid_2of2.zip > /dev/null
rm linuxamd64_12102_grid_*
cd grid
./runInstaller
by Ahmed Baraka
In the next wizard window, we expect to see the ASM disks. But they actually did not appear in our case, as shown below:
by Ahmed Baraka
To fix this, we need to change the discovery path. Click on Change Discovery Path button and change it to /dev/oracleasm/disks/*
by Ahmed Baraka
Configure the CRS disk, as follows:
by Ahmed Baraka
by Ahmed Baraka
by Ahmed Baraka
Check CRS services status:
crsctl status resource -t
Do not close the Putty command prompt window at this stage. Go to next section and execute the commands over there using the same Putty
window. If you have already closed it, start it, login as root, and re-run the xauth list again, switch to grid, and re-run the commands xauth add
and export DISPLAY as shown earlier.
by Ahmed Baraka
8. Create ASM disk groups
As grid initiate ASM Configuration Assistant:
asmca
by Ahmed Baraka
Although it is optional, if your disk free space allows it, Id recommend shutting down the VM and taking a backup copy of it at this stage.
by Ahmed Baraka
9. Install Oracle database software
Switch to oracle user and create a directory to save the installation files in it:
su - oracle
mkdir source
Using WinSCP copy the installation files to that folder.
Unzip the installation zip files:
cd source
unzip linuxamd64_12102_database_1of2.zip > /dev/null
unzip linuxamd64_12102_database_2of2.zip > /dev/null
rm linuxamd64_12102_database_*
Similar to what we have done with grid, get the Xming working for current oracle user session, as follows:
[root@srv1 ~]# xauth list

srv1.localdomain/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 06e8d60356207d4e15c7e1a4f4185ad3
[root@srv1 ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@srv1 ~]$ xauth add srv1.localdomain/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 06e8d60356207d4e15c7e1a4f4185ad3
xauth: creating new authority file /home/oracle/.Xauthority
[oracle@srv1 ~]$ export DISPLAY=localhost:10
To test, issue xclock command:
Run the installer:
cd database/
./runInstaller
by Ahmed Baraka
by Ahmed Baraka
by Ahmed Baraka
When prompt, the run following script as root in a separate prompt window:
/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_1/root.sh
by Ahmed Baraka
by Ahmed Baraka
10. Create an Oracle database

Create the Database
Run dbca (Database Creation Assistant) to create a database
dbca
by Ahmed Baraka
Enter the SID. Make sure it is in uppercase, because it should be the same value as the ORACLE_SID environment variable.
by Ahmed Baraka
No need to create a listener here. The database will be registered in the listener created in the Grid home. Just click on Next button.
I had issues with selecting from the drop list items in the following windows with my mouse. It worked fine with me using the keyboard.
by Ahmed Baraka
by Ahmed Baraka
by Ahmed Baraka
Set the control files parameter to ("+DATA/{DB_UNIQUE_NAME}/control1.ctl","+FRA/{DB_UNIQUE_NAME}/control2.ctl")
by Ahmed Baraka
by Ahmed Baraka
Connect to the database using sqlplus utility for testing:
echo $ORACLE_SID
ORADB
sqlplus system
Test the Enterprise Manager Database Express (EM Express)
If you want to test from hosting machine, use the IP address based url, for example: https://192.168.1.144:5500/em
by Ahmed Baraka
Configure the sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files
vi /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
vi /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
ORADB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = srv1)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORADB.localdomain)
)
)
Test the configuration:
sqlplus system/oracle@oradb
Shutdown the system.
#as root:
shutdown -h now
