Operating Systems |
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4.0 For more information on Red Hat, refer to: The minimum supported kernel versions are:
|
|
Red Hat Update |
Update 1 |
|
Software packages (ensure that these versions or higher versions are installed) |

64-bit Certification |
For the latest status on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4.0 (64-bit) certification on AMD64 and Intel EM64T, check the Certification status on OracleMetaLink at: |
To ensure that your system meets the necessary requirements, follow these steps:
Log in as the root user.
To determine which distribution and version of Linux is installed, run the following command:
# cat /etc/issue Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 1)
To check that Update 1 is installed:
# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 1)
To determine whether any other package is installed, run a command similar to the following:
# rpm -q package_name
If a package is missing, download it and install it using the following command:
# rpm -i package_name
When installing a package, make sure you are using the correct architecture and optimization rpm file. To check the architecture of an rpm file, run the following command:
# rpm -q package_name --queryformat "%{arch}\n"
In the following example, the glibc rpm file is suitable for an Intel architecture:
# rpm -q glibc --queryformat "%{arch}\n"
i686
If the hugemem kernel is used, set the architecture using following command:
prompt> setarch i386
Table F-2 lists the software requirements for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 systems. The procedure that follows the table describes how to ensure that the system meets these requirements, as well as any additional installation requirements.
|
Note: Oracle Content DB 10g Release 10.2.0.0.0 is certified with the Operating System-specific software listed in Table F-2. For the most current list of supported Operating System-specific software (for example, JDK version or Operating System version), check OracleMetaLink at: |

Software packages (ensure that these versions or higher versions are installed) |
glibc-2.3.3-98.28 gcc-3.3.3-43.24 gcc-c++-3.3.3-43.24 libstdc++-3.3.3-43.24 libstdc++-devel-3.3.3-43.24 pdksh-5.2.14-780.1 make-3.80-184.1 gnome-libs-1.4.1.7-671.1 gnome-libs-devel-1.4.1.7-671.1 sysstat-5.0.1-35.1 binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-32.5 db1-1.85-85.1 |

64-bit Certification |
For the latest status on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4.0 (64-bit) certification on AMD64 and Intel EM64T, check the Certification status on Oracle Metalink: |
To ensure that your system meets the necessary requirements, follow these steps:
Log in as the root user.
To determine which distribution and version of Linux is installed, run the following command:
prompt> cat /etc/issue Welcome to SuSE Linux 9.0 (i686) - Kernel \r (\l).
|
Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4.0 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 are certified and supported. For the most current list of supported Linux Operating Systems, check OracleMetaLink at: |
To determine the kernel version, run the following command:
prompt> uname -r kernel-bigsmp-2.6.5-7.97
To determine whether any other package is installed, run a command similar to the following:
prompt> rpm -q package_name
If a package is missing, download it and install it using the following command:
# rpm -i package_name
When installing a package, make sure you are using the correct architecture and optimization rpm file. To check the architecture of an rpm file, run the following command:
# rpm -q package_name --queryformat "%{arch}\n"
In the following example, the glibc rpm file is suitable for an Intel architecture:
# rpm -q glibc --queryformat "%{arch}\n"
i686
Create the following symbolic link for the Perl executable if it does not already exist:
prompt> ln -sf /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl
Create the following symbolic link for the fuser executable if it does not already exist:
prompt> ln -sf /bin/fuser /sbin/fuser
If the orarun package was installed on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server system, complete the following steps as the oracle user to reset the environment:
Run the following commands:
prompt> cd /etc/profile.d prompt> mv oracle.csh oracle.csh.bak prompt> mv oracle.sh oracle.sh.bak prompt> mv alljava.sh alljava.sh.bak prompt> mv alljava.csh alljava.csh.bak
Use any text editor to comment out the following line from the $ORACLE_HOME/.profile file:
. ./.oracle
Log out of the oracle user account.
Log back into the oracle user account for the changes to take effect.
If any Java packages are installed on the system, unset the Java environment variables, for example JAVA_HOME.
|
Note: Oracle recommends that you do not install any of the Java packages supplied with the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server distribution. |
Check the /etc/services file to make sure that the following port ranges are available on the system:
ports 3060-3129 required for Oracle Internet Directory
ports 3130-3199 required for Oracle Internet Directory (SSL)
ports 1812-1829 required for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g (console)
ports 1830-1849 required for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g (agent)
ports 1850-1869 required for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g (RMI)
If necessary, remove entries from the /etc/services file and restart the system. To remove the entries, you can use the Perl script included in the utils/3167528/ directory of CD-ROM Disk 1 and in the utils/3167528/ directory on the DVD. Run the script as the root user. This script is also available as patch 3167528. This patch is available from:
If you use Network Information Service (NIS), make sure that the following line exists in the /etc/yp.conf file:
hostname.domain_name broadcast
Make sure that the following line exists in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file:
hosts: files nis dns
Make sure that the localhost entry in the /etc/hosts file is an IPv4 entry. If the IP entry for localhost is IPv6 format, installation cannot succeed. The following example shows an IPv6 entry:
# special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback ::1 ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
To correct this example /etc/hosts file, comment the localhost entry as follows:
# special IPv6 addresses #::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback #::1 ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
To comment the entries, you can use the Perl script included in the utils/4015045/ directory of CD-ROM Disk 1 and in the utils/4015045/ directory on the DVD. Run the script as the root user. This script is also available as patch 4015045. This patch is available from:
