Step by Step Oracle 19c Binary Installation and Database Creation On Linux
In this article, we are going to demonstrate Step by Step Oracle19c (19.3) enterprise edition binary Installation and database Creation On Linux 8.3 (OEL) using GUI mode. We will complete this article in three parts.
1. Prechecks / Prerequisite
2. Oracle 19c binary installation (runInstaller)
3. Oracle database creation (DBCA)
Key points to remember before start Installation on Linux x86-64:
- Minimum space 7.5 to 11 GB require to install Oracle Database Enterprise Edition / Standard Edition 2.
- Minimum 1 GB RAM required for Oracle Database installation but 2 GB RAM recommended.
- Server is connected to the network.
- Minimum server display card 1024 x 768 resolution to launch Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
- Minimum Runlevel 3 or 5.
- Supported Linux versions 7 & 8.
Oracle Linux 8.1 with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 6: 5.4.17-2011.0.7.el8uek.x86_64 or later
Oracle Linux 7.4 with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 4: 4.1.12-124.19.2.el7uek.x86_64 or later - Minimum 1GB in temporary directory generally called /tmp.
- Swap space requires as below:
Between 1 GB and 2 GB: 1.5 times the size of the RAM
Between 8 GB and 16 GB: Equal to the size of the RAM
More than 16 GB: 16 GB
Below are a few new features for Oracle database installation in Oracle 19c.
- Oracle Memory Speed (OMS) Support for potential of persistent memory (PMEM) Devices.
- Root Scripts Automation Support for Oracle Database Installation.
- Simplified Image-Based Oracle Database Client Installation.
1. Prechecks / Prerequisite
1.1. Basics prerequisites: Here we have two options either automatic setup or manual setup which is required to complete basic setup. You can use any one method.
1.1A1. Automatic Setup: In automatic setup using package oracle-database-preinstall-19c which will perform all prerequisite set up.

NOTE: You can create groups as required, above is the complete list of groups.
1.2. Change password: This is required to change the oracle password, either way, we used automatic or manual setup.
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# passwd oracle
Changing password for user oracle.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: The password is shorter than 8 characters
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
1.3. Validate new Oracle’s password: Upon completion of the above step, open a new terminal and login to oracle using a new password and validate groups.
[oracle@DBsGuruN3 ~]$ id
uid=54321(oracle) gid=54321(oinstall) groups=54321(oinstall),54322(dba),54323(oper),54324(backupdba),54325(dgdba),54326(kmdba),54330(racdba) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
1.4 Verify memory and server hardware configuration: In this section, we will verify memory & various type of server configuration which is required before installation and make the sure value of the below command meet the minimum requirement of Oracle 19c installation.
1.4.1. Validate total physical memory on server:
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 6078828 kB
1.4.2. Validate configured swap memory on server:
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo
SwapTotal: 6217724 kB
1.4.3. Validate available space in a temporary directory: If space is less as required in directory /tmp so either remove unwanted files from this directory to reach to minimum require space or set the different temporary directory in your environment variables.
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# df -h /tmp
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/ol-root 70G 14G 57G 19% /
1.4.4. Validate free RAM (memory) on the server.
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 5936 563 4759 10 612 5274
Swap: 6071 0 6071
1.4.5. Validate the system architecture: It will help to install software i.e require 64-bit software.
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# uname -m
x86_64
1.4.6. Validate shared memory which is correctly mounted along with the required size.
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# df -h /dev/shm
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 2.9G 0 2.9G 0% /dev/shm

1.5. Validate hostname along with hostname resolution: Make sure hostname should be resolved either OS name or fully qualified name. To resolve a hostname, we can resolve it either DNS (Domain Name Service), NIS (Network Information Service), or a centrally-maintained TCP/IP host file, such as /etc/hosts. Use the ping command to ensure that your OS hostname is resolvable. Follow the below command to validate it.
[oracle@DBsGuruN3 ~]$ cat /etc/hosts | grep -i dbsgurun3
