Installing your Oracle Software

2 - 2
Objectives
After completing this lesson, you should be able to:
• Describe your role as a database administrator (DBA) and
explain typical tasks and tools
• Plan an Oracle software installation
• Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone server
• Install the Oracle database software

2 - 3
Tasks of an Oracle Database Administrator
The approach for designing, implementing, and maintaining an
Oracle database involves the following tasks:
1. Evaluating the database server hardware
2. Installing the Oracle software
3. Planning the database and security strategy
4. Creating, migrating, and opening the database
5. Backing up the database
6. Enrolling system users and planning for
their Oracle Network access
7. Implementing the database design
8. Recovering from database failure
9. Monitoring database performance

2 - 4
Tools for Administering
an Oracle Database
• Oracle Universal Installer
• Database Configuration Assistant
• Database Upgrade Assistant
• Oracle Net Manager
• Oracle Net Configuration Assistant
• Oracle Enterprise Manager
• Server Control Utility
• SQL*Plus
• Recovery Manager
• Data Pump
• SQL*Loader

2 - 6
Planning Your Installation
• What Oracle software are you installing?
• Does the hardware involved meet the minimum required
specifications?
• Is there a recommended order of installation when multiple
products are involved?
• Are there prerequisite steps that must be performed by
someone other than the DBA?

Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database
Installation: System Requirements
• Memory requirements:
– 1 GB for the database instance with Oracle Enterprise
Manager Database Control
– 1.5 GB for the ASM instance and Oracle Restart
• Disk space requirements:
– 3 GB of swap space (based on 2 GB RAM)
– 1 GB of disk space in the /tmp directory
– 3.8 GB for the Oracle Database software
– 4.5 GB for the Grid Infrastructure software
– 1.7 GB for the preconfigured database (optional)
– 3.4 GB for the fast recovery area (optional)
• Operating system (see documentation)

2 - 9
Preparing the Operating System
Create the required operating system users and groups:
• Groups:
– oinstall
– dba
– Optional groups (if doing separation of duty across
multiple users):
— oper
— asmdba
— asmoper
— asmadmin
• Users:
– Software owner, usually oracle
– Can create multiple users for multiple product installations

2 - 10
Setting Environment Variables
Oracle environment variables:
• ORACLE_BASE: Base of the Oracle directory structure.
Recommended to set this before installation.
• ORACLE_HOME: The environment in which Oracle products
run. Not required before installation if ORACLE_BASE is
set.
• ORACLE_SID: Not required before installation, but useful
afterwards for ease of interaction with a particular instance
• NLS_LANG: Optional environment variable that controls
language, territory, and client character set settings

2 - 11
Checking the System Requirements
• Adequate
temporary space
• 64-bit versus
• 32-bit issues
• Correct operating system (OS)
• OS patch level
• System packages
• System and kernel parameters
• X Server permissions
• Sufficient swapping
• ORACLE_HOME status

Installation Option: Silent Mode
To install and configure Oracle products with OUI in silent
mode, perform the following steps:
1. Prepare a response file:
– Using one of the file templates that are delivered with the
Oracle software
– By recording a response file during an installation process
using the OUI by clicking Save Response File on the
summary page
2. Run OUI in silent or suppressed mode.
./runInstaller –silent –responsefile <filename>
If required, run NetCA and the DBCA in silent mode.

2 - 42
Quiz
A response file is:
1. A binary file that can be edited using a binary editing
program
2. A binary file that can be created by the installer program
3. A text file that cannot be edited, but can be created by the
installer program
4. A text file that can be edited with a text editor

2 - 43
Quiz
During Database software installation you can specify groups
for:
1. the osoper group
2. the osasm group
3. the osdba group
4. the osadmin group

2 - 44
Summary
