This is a rough guide to the steps I followed to set up GORDON prior to transferring the REPOS database from GRIDCTRL.
Encountered the issue described in Unable to Use NFS under VirtualBox.
This means that I will have to have a larger local disk than normal in order to install the software, and have to use the local disk for the database data files.
Used V46135-01.iso to install OEL7. This was a minimal installation.
Updated OEL7 through yum:
yumupgrade
Followed the procedure in Use Pre-Installation RPM.
The following groups are established for use by the oracle user:
Used the following commands (as root) to change the password for the oracle and grant it sudo access:
visudo # allow wheel group to do sudo without a password groupadd asmdba groupadd oper groupadd dbkm groupadd dbbackup groupadd dbdg usermod oracle -g oinstall -G oinstall,wheel,dba,oper,asmdba,dbkm,dbbackup,dbdgUsed the following commands (as root) to create the software directory at /opt/app/oracle/software:
Since this was a minimal installation, no UNZIP package was available. I had to install UNZIP as follows:
sudo yum install unzip
The following ZIP archives were uploaded to /opt/app/oracle/software:
linuxamd64_12102_database_1of2.zip linuxamd64_12102_database_2of2.zip linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip linuxamd64_12102_grid_2of2.zip
As oracle user, I ran the following commands to unzip the software prior to installation:
cd /opt/app/oracle/software unzip -q linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip -d . unzip -q linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip -d . unzip -q linuxamd64_12102_database_1of2.zip -d . unzip -q linuxamd64_12102_database_2of2.zip -d .Two (2) disks are set aside for ASM disk groups:
The ownership of these disks is changed as follows to enable discovery by the installer:
Followed the procedure in Install 12.1.0.2 GI Standalone.
Followed the procedure in Create New ASM Disk Group Using ASMCA to add the FRA disk group as /dev/sdc.
Followed the procedure in Install Oracle RDBMS 12.1.0.2 With Grid Infrastructure.
