All these guides are available on the product disc. To access them, use a Web browser to open the welcome.htm
file located in the top-level directory of the installation media, and then select the Documentation tab.
Before you install the Oracle software, you must complete several tasks as the root
user. To log in as the root
user, complete one of the following procedures:
Note:
You must install the software from an X Window System workstation, an X terminal, or a PC or other system with X server software installedFollowing are the steps for installing the software from an X Window System workstation or X terminal:
Start a local terminal session, for example, an X terminal (xterm
).
If you are not installing the software on the local system, then enter the following command to enable the remote host to display X applications on the local X server:
$ xhost fully_qualified_remote_host_name
For example:
$ xhost somehost.us.example.com
If you are not installing the software on the local system, then use the ssh
, rlogin
, or telnet
command to connect to the system where you want to install the software:
$ telnet fully_qualified_remote_host_name
If you are not logged in as the root
user, then enter the following command to switch user to root
:
$ su - root password: #
Following are the steps for installing the software from a PC or other system with X server software:
Note:
If necessary, refer to your X server documentation for more information about completing this procedure. Depending on the X server software that you are using, you may need to complete the tasks in a different order.Start the X server software.
Configure the security settings of the X server software to permit remote hosts to display X applications on the local system.
Connect to the remote system where you want to install the software and start a terminal session on that system, for example, an X terminal (xterm
).
If you are not logged in as the root
user on the remote system, then enter the following command to switch user to root
:
$ su - root password: #
The system must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:
The following are the memory requirements for installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2):
At least 1 GB of RAM
To determine the physical RAM size, enter the following command:
# /usr/sbin/lsattr -E -l sys0 -a realmem
If the size of the RAM is less than the required size, then you must install more memory before continuing.
The following table describes the relationship between installed RAM and the configured swap space requirement:
Note:
On AIX systems, with 1 GB or more of memory, Oracle recommends that you set the paging space to an initial setting of half the size of RAM plus 4 GB, with an upper limit of 32 GB. During installation, to optimize paging, monitor the paging space use in a separate window. Use the commandchps
to increase or decrease the paging space size. The output of chps
should indicate paging space use of less than 25 percent on a healthy system. Refer to Oracle Database Administrator's Reference for Linux and UNIX-Based Operating Systems for more information about configuring paging space.Available RAM | Swap Space Required |
---|---|
Between 1 GB and 2 GB | 1.5 times the size of RAM |
Between 2 GB and 16 GB | Equal to the size of RAM |
More than 16 GB | 16 GB |
To determine the size of the configured swap space, enter the following command:
# /usr/sbin/lsps -a
If necessary, refer to the operating system documentation for information about how to configure additional swap space.
Note:
Oracle recommends that you take multiple values for the available RAM and swap space before finalizing a value. This is because the available RAM and swap space keep changing depending on the user interactions with the computer.To determine whether the system architecture can run the software, enter the following command:
# /usr/bin/getconf HARDWARE_BITMODE
Note:
This command displays the processor type. Verify that the processor architecture matches the Oracle software release that you want to install. If you do not see the expected output, then you cannot install the software on this system.The expected output of this command is 64. If you do not see the expected output, then you cannot install the software on this system.
To determine if the system is started in 64-bit mode, enter the following command:
# bootinfo -K
The result of this command must be 64, indicating that the 64-bit kernel is enabled.
For AIX, Oracle Database 11g supports 64-bit kernel and does not provide support for 32-bit kernel applications.
The following are the disk space requirements for installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2):
At least 1 GB of disk space in the /tmp
directory
To determine the amount of disk space available in the /tmp
directory, enter the following command:
# df -k /tmp
If there is less than the required amount of free disk space available in the /tmp
directory, then complete one of the following steps:
Delete unnecessary files from the /tmp
directory to meet the disk space requirement.
Set the TMP
and TMPDIR
environment variables when setting the oracle
user's environment.
Extend the file system that contains the /tmp
directory. If necessary, contact the system administrator for information about extending file systems.
To determine the amount of free disk space on the system, enter the following command:
# df -k
The following table describes the disk space requirements for software files for each installation type:
Installation Type | Requirement for Software Files (GB) |
---|---|
Enterprise Edition | 6.40 |
Standard Edition | 5.96 |
Custom (Enterprise Edition + custom install options) | 7.0 |
The following table describes the disk space for data files for each installation type:
Installation Type | Disk Space for Data Files (GB) |
---|---|
Enterprise Edition | 1.55 |
Standard Edition | 1.50 |
Custom (Enterprise Edition + custom install options) | 1.50 |
Additional disk space, either on a file system or in an Automatic Storage Management disk group, is required for the fast recovery area if you choose to configure automated backups.
Ensure that the system is started with run level 2.
Depending on the products that you intend to install, verify that the following software are installed on the system.
Note:
This guide contains information required to install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) on various platforms. Ensure that you review information related to the platform on which you intend to install Oracle Database 11g.
Oracle Universal Installer performs checks on the system to verify that it meets the listed requirements. To ensure that these checks pass, verify the requirements before you start Oracle Universal Installer.

The following local operating system groups and users are required if you are installing Oracle Database:
The Oracle Inventory group (oinstall
)
The OSDBA group (dba
)
The Oracle software owner (oracle
)
To determine whether these groups and users already exist, and if necessary, to create them, follow these steps:
To determine whether the oinstall
group exists, enter the following command:
# more /etc/oraInst.loc
If the output of this command shows the oinstall
group name, then the group already exists.
Note:
In Oracle documentation, Oracle Inventory group is calledoinstall
. However, it is not mandatory to use the same name, you can enter a different name for the group.If the oraInst.loc
file exists, then the output from this command is similar to the following:
inventory_loc=/u01/app/oraInventory inst_group=oinstall
The inst_group
parameter shows the name of the Oracle Inventory group, for example oinstall
.
To determine whether the dba
group exists, enter the following command:
# grep dba /etc/group
If the output from this commands shows the dba
group name, then the group already exists.
If necessary, enter the following commands to create the oinstall
and dba
groups:
# /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
# /usr/sbin/groupadd dba
To determine whether the oracle
user exists and belongs to the correct groups, enter the following command:
# id oracle
If the oracle
user exists, then this command displays information about the groups to which the user belongs. The output should be similar to the following, indicating that oinstall
(for example) is the primary group and dba
is a secondary group:
uid=440(oracle) gid=200(oinstall) groups=201(dba),202(oper)
If necessary, complete one of the following actions:
If the oracle
user exists, but its primary group is not oinstall
or it is not a member of the dba
group, then enter the following command:
# /usr/sbin/usermod -g oinstall -G dba oracle
If the oracle
user does not exist, enter the following command to create it:
# /usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
This command creates the oracle
user and specifies oinstall
as the primary group and dba
as the secondary group.
Enter the following command to set the password of the oracle
user:
# passwd oracle
This section contains the following topics:
Note:
The parameter and shell limit values shown in this section are recommended values only. For production database systems, Oracle recommends that you tune these values to optimize the performance of the system. See your operating system documentation for more information about tuning kernel parameters.Oracle recommends that you set shell limits and system configuration parameters as described in this section.
For AIX, it is the ulimit
settings that determine process memory related resource limits. Verify that the shell limits shown in the following table are set to the values shown.
Shell Limit (As Shown in smit) | Recommended Value |
---|---|
Soft FILE size | -1 (Unlimited) |
Soft CPU time | -1 (Unlimited)
Note: This is the default value. |
Soft DATA segment | -1 (Unlimited) |
Soft STACK size | -1 (Unlimited) |
Soft Real Memory size | -1 (Unlimited) |
Processes (per user) | -1 (Unlimited)
Note: This limit is available only in AIX 6.1 or later. Refer to "Configure System Configuration Parameters" for information on configuration of processes per user limits. |
To view the current value specified for these shell limits, and to change them if necessary:
Enter the following command:
# smit chuser
In the User NAME field, enter the user name of the Oracle software owner, for example oracle
.
Scroll down the list and verify that the value shown for the soft limits listed in the previous table is -1.
If necessary, edit the existing value.
When you have finished making changes, press F10 to exit.
Verify that the kernel parameters shown in the following table are set to values greater than or equal to the minimum value shown.
Parameter | Recommended Value |
---|---|
maxuprocs |
2048 |
ncargs |
128 |
The following procedure describes how to verify and set the values.
To verify that the maximum number of processes allowed per user is set to 2048 or greater, use the following steps:
Note:
For production systems, this value should be at least 128 plus the sum of thePROCESSES
and PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS
initialization parameters for each database running on the system.Enter the following command:
# smit chgsys
Verify that the value shown for Maximum number of PROCESSES allowed per user is greater than or equal to 2048.
If necessary, edit the existing value.
When you have finished making changes, press F10 to exit.
To verify that long commands can be executed from shell, use the following steps:
Note:
Oracle recommends that you set thencargs
system attribute to a value greater than or equal to 128. The ncargs
attribute determines the maximum number of values that can be passed as command line arguments.Enter the following command:
# smit chgsys
Verify that the value shown for ARG/ENV list size in 4K byte blocks is greater than or equal to 128.
If necessary, edit the existing value.
When you have finished making changes, press F10 to exit.
On AIX 5, run the rootpre.sh
script to enable the AIO (Asynchronous Input Output) device drivers. On AIX 6, the AIO device drivers are enabled by default. For both AIX 5 and AIX 6, increase the number of aioserver
processes from the default value. The recommended value for aio_maxreqs
is 64k (65536
). Confirm this value for both AIX 5 and AIX 6.
Confirm the aio_maxreqs
value using the procedure for your release:
AIX 6.1:
# ioo –o aio_maxreqs aio_maxreqs = 65536
On AIX 5.3:
# lsattr -El aio0 -a maxreqs maxreqs 65536 Maximum number of REQUESTS True
When performing an asynchronous I/O to a file system, note that each asynchronous I/O operation is tied to an asynchronous I/O server. Thus, the number of asynchronous I/O servers limits the number of concurrent asynchronous I/O operations in the system.
The initial number of servers that are started during a system restart is determined by the minservers
parameter. As concurrent asynchronous I/O operations occur, additional asynchronous I/O servers are started, up to a maximum of the value set in the maxservers
parameter.
On AIX 5.3, if you are using Oracle Database with data files on a file system then increase the default values for minservers
and maxservers
, as the default values for these parameters are too small. Increase the minservers
and maxservers
values based on I/O kprocs
for each processor..
In general, to set the number of asynchronous I/O servers, complete the following procedure:
Adjust the initial value of maxservers
to 10 times the number of disks that are to be used concurrently but no more than 80.
Monitor the performance effects on the system during periods of high I/O activity. If all AIO server processes are started, then increase the maxservers
value. Also, continue to monitor the system performance during peak I/O activity to determine if there was a benefit from the additional AIO servers. Too many asynchronous I/O servers increase memory and processor overload of additional processes, but this disadvantage is small.
To monitor the number of AIO server processes that have started, enter the following:
# ps -ek|grep -v grep|grep –v posix_aioserver|grep -c aioserver
Create directories with names similar to the following, and specify the correct owner, group, and permissions for them:
The Oracle base directory
An optional Oracle data file directory
The Oracle base directory must have 3 GB of free disk space, or 4 GB of free disk space if you choose not to create a separate Oracle data file directory.
Note:
If you do not want to create a separate Oracle data file directory, then you can install the data files in a subdirectory of the Oracle base directory. However, this is not recommended for production databases.To create the Oracle base directory:
Enter the following command to display information about all mounted file systems:
# df -k
This command displays information about all the file systems mounted on the system, including:
The physical device name
The total amount, used amount, and available amount of disk space
The mount point directory for that file system
From the display, identify either one or two file systems that meet the disk space requirements mentioned earlier in this section.
Note the name of the mount point directory for each file system that you identified.
Enter commands similar to the following to create the recommended subdirectories in the mount point directory that you identified and set the appropriate owner, group, and permissions on them:
# mkdir -p /mount_point/app/ # chown -R oracle:oinstall /mount_point/app/ # chmod -R 775 /mount_point/app/
For example:
# mkdir -p /u01/app/
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/
# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/
You run Oracle Universal Installer from the oracle
account. However, before you start Oracle Universal Installer, you must configure the environment of the oracle
user. To configure the environment, you must:
Caution:
Use shell programs supported by your operating system vendor. If you use a shell program that is not supported by your operating system, then you can encounter errors during installation.Set the default file mode creation mask (umask
) to 022
in the shell startup file.
Set the DISPLAY
environment variable.
To set the oracle
user's environment:
Start a new terminal session, for example, an X terminal (xterm
).
Enter the following command to ensure that X Window applications can display on this system:
$ xhost fully_qualified_remote_host_name
For example:
$ xhost somehost.us.example.com
Complete one of the following steps:
If the terminal session is not connected to the system where you want to install the software, then log in to that system as the oracle
user.
If the terminal session is connected to the system where you want to install the software, then switch user to oracle
:
$ su - oracle
To determine the default shell for the oracle
user, enter the following command:
$ echo $SHELL
Open the oracle
user's shell startup file in any text editor:
Bash shell (bash
):
$ vi .profile
Bourne shell (sh
), Bash shell (bash
), or Korn shell (ksh
):
$ vi .bash_profile
C shell (csh
or tcsh
):
% vi .login
Enter or edit the following line in the shell startup file, specifying a value of 022
for the default file mode creation mask:
umask 022
If the ORACLE_SID
, ORACLE_HOME
, or ORACLE_BASE
environment variable is set in the file, then remove the corresponding lines from the file.
Save the file, and exit from the editor.
To run the shell startup script, enter the following command:
Bash shell:
$ . ./.bash_profile
Bourne shell, Bash shell, or Korn shell:
$ . ./.profile
C shell:
% source ./.login
If you are not installing the software on the local computer, then run the following command on the remote machine to set the DISPLAY
variable:
Bourne, Bash or Korn shell:
$ export DISPLAY=local_host:0.0
C shell:
% setenv DISPLAY local_host:0.0
In this example, local_host
is the host name or IP address of the local computer that you want to use to display Oracle Universal Installer.
Run the following command on the remote machine to check if the shell and the DISPLAY environmental variable are set correctly:
echo $SHELL echo $DISPLAY
Now to enable X applications, run the following commands on the local computer:
$ xhost + fully_qualified_remote_host_name
To verify that X applications display is set properly, run a X11 based program that comes with the operating system such as xclock
:
$ xclock
For example, you can find xclock
at /usr/X11R6/bin/xclocks
. If the DISPLAY
variable is set properly, then you can see xclock
on your computer screen.
See Also:
PC-X Server or Operating System vendor documents for further assistanceIf you determined that the /tmp
directory had insufficient free disk space when checking the hardware requirements, then identify a file system with the required amount of free space and set the TMP
and TMPDIR
environment variables as follows:
Use the df -k
command to identify a suitable file system with sufficient free space.
If necessary, enter commands similar to the following to create a temporary directory on the file system that you identified, and set the appropriate permissions on the directory:
# su - root $ mkdir /mount_point/tmp $ chmod a+wr /mount_point/tmp # exit
Enter commands similar to the following to set the TMP
and TMPDIR
environment variables:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ TMP=/mount_point/tmp $ TMPDIR=/mount_point/tmp $ export TMP TMPDIR
C shell:
% setenv TMP /mount_point/tmp % setenv TMPDIR /mount_point/tmp
Enter commands similar to the following to set the ORACLE_BASE
and ORACLE_SID
environment variables:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle $ ORACLE_SID=sales $ export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID
C shell:
% setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle % setenv ORACLE_SID sales
In these examples, /u01/app/oracle
is the Oracle base directory that you created or identified earlier and sales
is the name that you want to call the database (typically no more than five characters).
Enter the following commands to ensure that the ORACLE_HOME
and TNS_ADMIN
environment variables are not set:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ unset ORACLE_HOME $ unset TNS_ADMIN
C shell:
% unsetenv ORACLE_HOME % unsetenv TNS_ADMIN
To verify that the environment has been set correctly, enter the following commands:
$ umask $ env | more
Verify that the umask
command displays a value of 22
, 022
, or 0022
and the environment variables that you set in this section have the correct values.
Note:
Do not run therootpre.sh
script if you have a later release of the Oracle Database software already installed on this system.Run the rootpre.sh
script:
Switch user to root
:
$ su - password: #
Complete one of the following steps, depending on the location of the installation files:
If the installation files are on disc, enter a command similar to the following, where directory_path
is the disc mount point directory or the path of the db
directory on the DVD:
# /directory_path/rootpre/rootpre.sh
If the installation files are on the hard disk, change directory to the Disk1
directory and enter the following command:
# ./rootpre.sh
Exit from the root account:
# exit
On most AIX based systems, the product disc mounts automatically when you insert it into the drive. If the disc does not mount automatically, then follow these steps to mount it:
Switch user to root:
$ su - password:
If necessary, enter a command similar to the following to eject the currently mounted disc, then remove it from the drive:
# umount /dvd
Insert the disc into the disc drive, then enter a command similar to the following to mount it:
# /usr/sbin/mount -rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /dvd
In this example, /dev/cd0
is the device name of the disc drive and /dvd
is the mount point directory.
If Oracle Universal Installer displays the Disk Location dialog box, enter the disc mount point directory path, for example:
/dvd
After configuring the oracle
user's environment, start Oracle Universal Installer and install Oracle Database as follows:
To start Oracle Universal Installer, enter the following command:
$ /mount_point/db/runInstaller
If Oracle Universal Installer does not start, then refer to Oracle Database Installation Guide for information about how to troubleshoot X Window display problems.
