Why installing Oracle 64 bits

Ubuntu provides a nice and easy tutorial for installing Oracle 10 XE on 32 bits systems, thats works also on 64bits sytems, but: This is for Oracle XE, non standard or enterprise edition Database is limited to 5 simultaneous connections Default Tora 64 bits won't work on 64 bits systems with the Oralce XE 32 bits editions y Oracle XE is limited in functionalities, url_quote, for example, is not provided with this distribution

Downloading Oracle 10g 64 bits for Linux

First, download Oracle 10g Enterprise/Standard Edition for Linux x86 -64 from Oracle website.

Then

extract

the

downloaded

file:

cpio -idmv < 10201_database_linux_x86_64.cpio

A new folder named database will be extracted.

Preparing the system

Second, read the HTML documentation of the quick install guide you can found in the extracted folder at this place: database/doc/install.102/b15668/toc.htm

For the rest of this howto, we suppose Oracle will be installed at /opt/oracle Root directory.

We will have to: Create required users and groups accounts Set required system parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf Installing complementary packages

Creating system accounts

Creating Oracle Inventory group: sudo groupadd oinstall

Creating Oracle DBA group: sudo groupadd dba

Creating Oracle user home and account: sudo mkdir -p /opt/oracle sudo useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle sudo passwd oracle sudo chown -R oracle:oinstall /opt/oracle -d /opt/oracle -s /bin/bash

Adding nobody group to nobody user: sudo addgroup nobody sudo usermod -g nobody nobody

Updating kernel parameters

This is one of the longest task of this installation. Because you will have to check your current config.

Check commands in Oracle documentation for this, section 6 Configuring Kernel Parameters. Then, edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf as described below:

sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf

Add the following lines: # Oracle 10g kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 32768 65000 # Replace kernel.shmmax with the half of your memory in bytes # 1073741824 is 1 GigaBytes kernel.shmmax=1073741824 net.core.rmem_default = 262144 net.core.rmem_max = 262144 net.core.wmem_default = 262144 net.core.wmem_max = 262144 # To allow dba to allocate hugetlbfs pages # 1002 is your DBA group, id. grep dba /etc/group will give this value vm.hugetlb_shm_group = 1002

About HUGE

TLB.

This is needed on Ubuntu Karmic and was not required on Ubuntu Jaunty (kernel parameters Without this were parameters your apparently Oracle instance won't different). start.

You have to replace the value of 1002 with the group ID of the DBA group. Read this great howto install Oracle on debian to know more about huge tlb parameter.

Now, update /etc/security/limits.conf: sudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf

And add the following parameters:

# Oracle oracle oracle oracle oracle soft hard soft hard nproc nproc nofile nofile 2047 16384 1024 65536

Check that /etc/pam.d/login contains a line like this one: session required pam_limits.so

Installing additional packages

If not already done, update your distribution with the latest packages: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Install the following additional packages: sudo apt-get install gcc make binutils gawk x11 -utils rpm alien ksh lsb-rpm sudo apt-get install autotools -dev libltdl -dev sudo apt-get install --yes autoconf automake binutils bzip2 doxygen gcc less libc6 -dev make perl -doc unzip zlibc sudo apt-get install libaio1 lesstif2 libmotif3 libaio-dev

# Some of the ones below may not be needed, but as of many failures before getting it doing right, all these have been installed. sudo apt-get install libpthread -stubs0 libpthread -stubs0-dev libpth-dev libc6-i386 libc6 -dev-i386 sudo apt-get install g++ -multilib gcc -multilib

And also these below to try to get ride of link errors. sudo aptitude install lesstif2 -dev lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 sysstat rlwrap unixodbc unixodbc -dev elfutils

sudo apt-get install gsfonts -x11 java-common sun -java6-bin sunjava6-jre

And to prevent from runInstaller terrific ./runInstaller: line 54: ./install/.oui: No such file or directoryerror message: sudo apt-get install ia32 -libs

Oracle 10g also needs libstdc++5 that is not provided with Ubuntu Karmic. There are many ways to install it, I have followed this howto to install libstdc++5 on Ubuntu Karmic

Below is the summary of this HOWTO:

Mucho no repositorio de software se basa en la versin de 32 bits de libstdc + +5. Tambin es una dependencia necesaria para Ubuntu para controlar correctamente algunas impresoras (por ejemplo, la Lexmark X1100 Series).

Aunque supongo que esta informacin es, probablemente, en otro lugar, puede ser difcil de encontrar.Por lo tanto, est a es la forma de instalar el de 32 bits. Deb de libstdc + +5 en un 64 bits del sistema Ubuntu.

1: Descargar el paquete deb de http://software.rachaelbond.com/libstdc++5_3.3. 6-15ubuntu4_i386.deb en su directorio home. 2: Abre un terminal y escriba los siguientes comandos: 3: ~ $ ar libstdc + +5 _3.3.6 vx -15ubuntu4_i386.deb 4: ~ $ tar xzvf data.tar . gz 5: ~ $ sudo instalar usr / lib / libstdc + + so.5.0.7 / usr/lib32. 6: ~ $ cd / usr/lib32 7:.. lib32 $ sudo ln-s libstdc + + so.5.0.7 libstdc + + para 0.5 8: cd ~ 9: rm-rf data.tar.gz usr control.tar.gz debian -binary libstdc + +5 _3.3.6-15ubuntu4_i386.deb Eso es todo!

mkdir /tmp/libstdc++5 cd /tmp/libstdc++5 wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/u niverse/g/gcc 3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.... wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc 3.3/libstdc++5_3.3....

sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i libstdc++5_3.3.6 -17ubuntu1_i386.deb sudo mv /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5* /usr/lib32/

sudo dpkg -i libstdc++5_3.3.6 -17ubuntu1_amd64.deb

Now reboot your system to be sure these parameters will be taken in account for the next part of the installation.

Others configurations
Now, change default sh script by bash:

sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh

Then some others commands used by Oracle installer: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk sudo ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpm sudo ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename

Connect as Oracle user and set some default startup file sudo su - oracle cd touch .bashrc ln -s .bashrc .bash_profile

Edit .bashrc file: vi .bashrc

And add the following line: umask 022

Execute the .bashrc file or restart a bash shell source .bashrc

Installing Oracle
Now we can start the installation of the Oracle 10g archive.

Allow others users to connect to your X session, by entering in a bash shell: xhost +

Then, login as oracle user: su - oracle

Go in the extracted database folder and run the following commands: export DISPLAY=:0 unset ORACLE_HOME unset TNS_ADMIN

./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs

Then, Oracle installer should start in graphic mode

You will encounter this issue while linking : INFO: /usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/lib/snmccolm.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output

/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/lib/libnmccol.a(nmccole.o)' is incompatible with i386:x86 -64 output /usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/lib/libnmcbuf.a(nmcbuft.o)' is incompatible with i386:x86 -64 output /usr/bin/ld: i386 architectur INFO: e of input file `/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/lib/libnmcbuf.a(nmcbufw.o)' is incompatible with i386:x86 -64 output /usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/lib/libnmcbuf.a(nmcbufu.o)' is incompatible with i 386:x86-64 output /usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/lib/libnmcbuf.a(snmcbufm.o)' is incompatible with i386:x86 -64 output /usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file INFO: `/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/lib/libnmcbuf. a(nmcbuff.o)' is incompatible with i386:x86 -64 output /usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `/product/10.2.0/db_1/sysman/lib//libnmadbg.a(nmadbg.o)' is incompatible with i386:x86 -64 output /usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `/product/10.2. 0/db_1/sysman/lib//libnmadbg.a(snmadbg.o)' is incompatible with i386:x86 -64 output

Just ignore this error for the moment: I quote This can be ignored as we will not be using this function. (Its used by Oracle to check data on Oracle. Since Karmic isn't a supported o/s this can be ignored...) y I quote You can use "SQL Access" mode instead of "Memory Access" mode to check performance. So you can ignore this error. If you apply patchset 10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4 then relink of nmccollector will be succesfull.

Finishing the installation

The install process will finally ask you to execute scripts as root user, just do so: sudo /opt/oracle/oracle10gse/product/10.2.0/db_1/root.sh

Starting and stopping Oracle

We should now be able to start Oracle database if you had choosed to create one during installation. Yes go to next section Creating an Oracle database and come back.

First,

add

the

following

variable

declaration

in

your

oracle

user .profile, .bashrc or .bash_profile scripts: export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/oracle10gse/product/10.2.0/db_1 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

Then start a new shell or execute one of the updated files: source .bashrc

Starting up the database

Finally, to manually start Oracle, run these commands as oracle user lsnrctl start dbstart

You may encounter this error Failed to auto-start Oracle Net Listene using /ade/vikrkuma_new/oracle/bin/tnslsnr. Also your database may not start. Then, first check in /etc/oratab that it has the 'Y' flag, if not, set it. sudo gedit /etc/oratab

And replace N by Y

orcl:/opt/oracle/oracle10gse/product/10.2.0/db_1:Y

To

get

ride

of

this

the Failed

to

auto-start

Oracle

Net

Listene

using

/ade/vikrkuma_new/oracle/bin/tnslsnr message, edit dbstart script and replace the hardcoded path with $ORACLE_HOME which dbstart #/opt/oracle/oracle10gse/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/dbstart gedit /opt/oracle/oracle10gse/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/dbstart

And edit this part of script # Set this to bring up Oracle Net Listener ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER=$ORACLE_HOME

Connecting to the database

Now, just try to connect to the freshly started database: oracle@ubuntu -laptop:~/oracle10gse/product/10.2.0/db_1/log$ sqlplus system@orcl SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Feb 11 12:01:24 2010 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.

Shutting down the database

Just entry the following commands with Oracle user: dbshut lsnrctl stop
