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.

[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# yum install oracle-database-preinstall-19c  ==>Applicable to Linux 7
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# dnf install oracle-database-preinstall-19c

rmem_max    4194304
wmem_default 262144
wmem_max    1048576

1.1.B1. Using any text editor, create or edit the /etc/sysctl.d/97-oracle-database-sysctl.conf file, and add or edit lines similar to: (value depends on your system configuration and requirements).

fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152 ##Greater than or equal to the value of shmmax, in pages*1
kernel.shmmax = 4294967295 ##Half the size of physical memory in bytes*2
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 = 1048576

By specifying the values in the /etc/sysctl.d/97-oracle-database-sysctl.conf file, the values persist on system restarts.

*1. If the server supports multiple databases or uses a large SGA, then set this parameter to a value that is equal to the total amount of shared memory, in 4K pages, that the system can use at one time.

*2. Review My Oracle Support Note 567506.1 for additional information about configuring shmmax.

1.1.B2. To change the current values of the kernel parameters: Change kernel parameters value without a reboot.

[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /sbin/sysctl --system

1.1.B3. Validate that the values are set correctly on OS: Validate the output. If the values are incorrect, edit the /etc/sysctl.d/97-oracle-database-sysctl.conf file, then execute the below command again.

[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]#  /sbin/sysctl -a

1.1.B4. Using any text editor, create or edit the /etc/security/limits.d/oracle-database-preinstall-19c.conf file, and add or edit lines similar to: (value depends on your system configuration and requirements).

oracle   soft   nofile    1024
oracle   hard   nofile    65536
oracle   soft   nproc    16384
oracle   hard   nproc    16384
oracle   soft   stack    10240
oracle   hard   stack    32768
oracle   hard   memlock    134217728
oracle   soft   memlock    134217728

1.1.B5. Required packages: Below are the required packages including the 32-bit version of some of the packages. Many of the packages should be installed already.

For Oracle Linux: The following packages must be installed.

bc
binutils
elfutils-libelf
elfutils-libelf-devel
fontconfig-devel
glibc
glibc-devel
ksh
libaio
libaio-devel
libXrender
libX11
libXau
libXi
libXtst
libgcc
libnsl
librdmacm
libstdc++
libstdc++-devel
libxcb
libibverbs
make
smartmontools

You can use the command yum install -y <package name> (For Linux 7), dnf install -y package name> (For Linux 8) to install or download it from the site and apply it to the server.

1.1.B6. Verify installed packages: Using the blow command validate installed packages.

[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# rpm -q binutils compat-libcap1 glibc-2.17 glibc-devel-2.17 ksh libaio libaio-devel libX11 \
libXau libXi libXtst libgcc libstdc++- libstdc++-devel libxcb make net-tools smartmontools sysstat

You can add more package names in the above command according to require validation.

1.1.B7. Create require groups and users: Create require groups and user oracle along with assigning primary and secondary groups to user Oracle.

[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54321 oinstall
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54322 dba
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54323 oper
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54324 backupdba
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54325 dgdba
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54326 kmdba
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54327 asmdba
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54328 asmoper
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54329 asmadmin
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54330 racdba
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# 
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# # /usr/sbin/useradd -u 54321 -g oinstall -G dba,oper,backupdba,dgdba,kmdba,asmdba,asmoper,asmadmin oracle

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

1.4.7. Validate distribution and version of installed Linux: Execute anyone below command to validate it.

[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# cat /etc/oracle-release
Oracle Linux Server release 8.3
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.3 (Ootpa)

1.4.8. Validate installed kernel of Linux.

[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# uname -r
5.4.17-2102.204.4.2.el8uek.x86_64

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
192.168.56.107 DBsGuruN3.labdomain DBsGuruN3
[oracle@DBsGuruN3 ~]$ ping -c3 DBsGuruN3

1.6. Set SELINUX=permissive: Change the value of SELINUX in the file /etc/selinux/config using any editor. Once you change the value immediately reboot the server to take effect of new values.

[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# cat /etc/selinux/config | grep SELINUX | grep -v '#'  --Old value
SELINUX=enforcing
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# cat /etc/selinux/config | grep SELINUX | grep -v '#'  --New value
SELINUX=permissive
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# reboot now

1.7. Disable firewall on OS: Disable firewall if required, follow the below command.

root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# systemctl stop firewalld
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# systemctl disable firewalld
Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/firewalld.service.

1.8. Create required directories.

[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# mkdir -p /u02/app/oracle/product/19c/db_1
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# mkdir -p /oradata/software
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# mkdir -p /oradata/fra
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# mkdir -p /u01
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u02/ /oradata/ /u01
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# chmod 775 -R /u02/ /oradata/
[root@DBsGuruN3 ~]# ls -ld /u02/app/oracle/product/19c/db_1 /oradata/software /oradata/fra /u01

drwxrwxr-x. 2 oracle oinstall 6 Dec 30 16:36 /u02/app/oracle/product/19c/db_1

1.9. Unzip the software: Move the binary file to /oradata/software and unzip in the location ORACLE HOME /u02/app/oracle/product/19c/db_1. In 19c, this is mandatory to unzip directly in the home i.e where ever we unzip binary that would be the default ORACLE HOME. Alternatively directly copy binary file to HOME and unzip in the same location.

2. Oracle 19c binary installation (runInstaller)

2.1. set DISPLAY as oracle user: Execute command export DISPLAY where IP depends on your configuration or tool being used for it, applicable if installing as a remote session.

[oracle@DBsGuruN3 software]$ export DISPLAY=192.168.1.87:0.0;

2.2. Launch Oracle Universal Installer: Go to directory ORACLE HOME and execute command runInstaller to launch Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).

[oracle@DBsGuruN3 software]$ cd /u02/app/oracle/product/19c/db_1/
