Unpack Files
Unzip the files.
# 11.2.0.1
unzip linux.x64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip
unzip linux.x64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip
#11.2.0.2
unzip p10098816_112020_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip
unzip p10098816_112020_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip
You should now have a single directory called database containing installation files.
Hosts File
The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
For example.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.2.181 ol6-11gr2.localdomain ol6-11gr2
Set Kernel Parameters
Oracle recommend the following minimum parameter settings.
fs.suid_dumpable = 1
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048586
The current values can be tested using the following command.
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep
Add or amend the following lines in the /etc/sysctl.conf file.
fs.suid_dumpable = 1
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912

Note. This will install all the necessary 32-bit packages for 11.2.0.1. From 11.2.0.2 onwards
many of these are unnecessary, but having them present does not cause a problem.
Create the new groups and users.
groupadd -g 501 oinstall
groupadd -g 502 dba
groupadd -g 503 oper
groupadd -g 504 asmadmin
groupadd -g 506 asmdba
groupadd -g 505 asmoper
useradd -u 502 -g oinstall -G dba,asmdba,oper oracle
passwd oracle
Note. We are not going to use the asm groups, since this installation will not use ASM.
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01
Login as root and issue the following command.
xhost +
Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the .bash_profile file.
# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=ol6-11gr2.localdomain; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_UNQNAME=DB11G; export ORACLE_UNQNAME
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE

CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH
Installation
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental
variable.
DISPLAY=:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the database
directory.
./runInstaller
Proceed with the installation of your choice. The prerequisites checks will fail for the following
version-dependent reasons:
* 11.2.0.1: The installer shows multiple missing package failures because it does not recognize
several of the newer version packages that were installed. These missing package failures can
be ignored as the packages are present. The failure for the pdksh package can be ignored
because we installed the ksh package in its place.
* 11.2.0.2: The installer should only show a single missing package failure for the pdksh
package. It can be ignored because we installed the ksh package in its place.

echo alias adrci=rlwrap adrci >> /home/oracle/.bash_profile
. /home/oracle/.bash_profile
Common Installation Errors
DISPLAY not set. Please set the DISPLAY and try again.
Solution: Execute export DISPLAY=:0.0 when you perform installation on local machine or
export DISPLAY=:0.0 when you perform installation on remote machine connected over SSH.
Dont forget to execute xhost + command on client machine.
error while loading shared libraries: libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
Solution: Install libaio and libaio-devel packages. If packages already installed and error still
occurs try execute ldconfig as root.
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Solution: Install missing package or set check system parameters (See reason of failure).
Common Errors
DISPLAY not set. Please set the DISPLAY and try again.
From one xterm run su oracle-user then run export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
From another xterm run: xhost + and then from the first xterm run the installer.
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<
Install missing package or check system parameters (See reason of failure).

Setting JAVA_HOME for a Single User
1. Locate absolute path to the JAVA installation.
2. Open up the .bash_profile in your terminal using vi:
1 vi ~/.bash_profile
3. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable using the following syntax and using the path you got
from the above method:
1 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32
4. Now, its time to set the PATH variable. Its the same path as the one you set for JAVA_HOME;
only excluding the java console:
1 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin
5. Now, all you have to do is logout and login back to the session for JAVA_HOME to take effect!
Alternatively, if you would prefer the changes to take effect immediately, just type the following
in the terminal:
1 source ~/.bash_profile
6. or:
1 . ~/.bash_profile

Setting JAVA_HOME for All Users
1. Locate absolute path to the JAVA installation.
2. Open up the profile in your terminal using vi:
1 sudo vi /etc/profile
3. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable using the following syntax:
1 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32
4. Dont forget to set the PATH variable too:
1 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin
5. You can now logout and login back to the session for the settings youve made to take effect
immediately, or just type the following for an immediate effect:
1 source /etc/profile
6. or:
1 . /etc/profile

How to run Repository Creation Utility (RCU) on 64-bit Linux
Posted by: Kevin Smith on Sep 26, 2012 | No Comments
I was setting up WebCenter Content (WCC) on a new virtual box running 64-bit Linux and ran
into a problem when I tried to run the Repository Creation Utility (RCU). I saw this error when
trying to start RCU
.../rcuHome/jdk/jre/bin/java: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No
such file or directory
I think I remember running into this before and reading something about RCU only being
supported on 32-bit Linux. I decided to try and see if I could get it to run on 64-bit Linux.
I saw it was using it's own copy of java (.../rcuHome/jdk/jre/bin/java), so I decided to try and get
it to use the 64-bit JRockit I had already installed. I edited the rcu script in rcuHome/bin and
replaced
JRE_DIR=$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/jre
with
JRE_DIR=/apps/java/jrockit-jdk1.6.0_29-R28.2.2-4.1.0
Sure enough that fixed it. I was able to run RCU and create the WCC schema.
