Requirements for Installing Oracle 9iR2 on RHEL 4

PURPOSE
-------

Following requirements needs to be met for a successful installation of

the new release 9.2.0.4 (a 3 CD set which includes the base release
and all fixes from prior patchsets including 9.2.0.4) on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4.0 (RHEL4) on platform Linux x86 .

This list is based upon a "default-RPMs" installation of RHEL AS/ES 4 (base

release). Additional RPMs may be needed if a "less-than-default-RPMs"
installation of RHEL AS/ES 4 is performed. For additional information on
"default-RPMs", please see Note 376183.1, "Defining a "default RPMs"
installation of the RHEL OS.

You can download the 9.2.0.4 from following URL.

But you require a valid OTN account for download.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/index.html
SCOPE & APPLICATION
-------------------

This procedure is meant for Oracle DBA and to person willing to install
Oracle
on Redhat 4.0

Requirements for Installing Oracle 9iR2 on RHEL4

------------------------------------------------

1. Minimum Software Requirement:

=============================
* Required OS Components
- compat-db-4.1.25-9
- compat-gcc-32-3.2.3-47.3
- compat-gcc-32-c++-3.2.3-47.3
- compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-3
- compat-libcwait-2.0-1
- compat-libgcc-296-2.96-132.7.2
- compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2
- compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3
- gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-44
- gnome-libs-devel-1.4.1.2.90-44
- libaio-devel-0.3.102-1
- libaio-0.3.102-1
- make-3.80-5
- openmotif21-2.1.30-11
- xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel-6.8.1-23.EL
- xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.1-23.EL

The compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-3 and compat-libcwait-2.0-1 packages are

available
from Oracle Metalink Patch 4198954 .
While installing the patch you might receive the warning. It is a normal
behaviour.

rpm -ivh compat-libcwait-2.0-2.i386.rpm

Preparing... ###########################################
[100%]
cat: /etc/ld.so.preload: No such file or directory
1:compat-libcwait ###########################################
[100%]

You can receive following error at the time of linking the binaries if any of
the above packages are missed.

/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.3/libgcc_s.so: undefined reference to

`dl_iterate_phdr@GLIBC_2.2.4'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

2. Environment:
============
* The first, critical, environment item is related to the gcc v3.2
and g++ v3.2 RPMs that were
 installed above. Run the following command to check the current gcc
version...

gcc -v

If the command above returns any gcc version other than 3.2.x, then
run these commands:

mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc.orig
mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++.orig
ln -s /usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-gcc32 /usr/bin/gcc
ln -s /usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-g++32 /usr/bin/g++

If the "mv" (move) command lines above return an error, it only means
that your system did not
have a pre-existing /usr/bin/gcc or /usr/bin/g++ to rename.

* Required Environment Variable

- LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
* Modify your kernel settings in /etc/sysctl.conf (RedHat) as
follows:
kernel.hostname = yourhost.yourdomain.com #<--- full qualified
hostname !!
kernel.domainname = yourdomain #<--- correct domain
name !!
fs.file-max = 327679
* Required kernel parameters
- SEMMNI 100 Defines the maximum number of semaphore sets in
the entire system.
- SEMMNS 256 Defines the maximum semaphores on the system.
This setting is a minimum recommended value, for
initial installation only.
The SEMMNS parameter should be set to the sum of
the PROCESSES parameter
for each Oracle database, adding the largest one
twice, and then adding
an additional 10 for each database.
- SEMOPM 100 Defines the maximum number of operations for
each semop call.
- SEMMSL 100 Defines the minimum recommended value, for
initial installation only.
- SHMMAX Set this parameter to half the size of physical
RAM available on your system.
This value cannot exceed 4294967295
- SHMMNI 100 Defines the maximum number of shared memory
segments in the entire system.
- SHMALL 2097152 Defines the maximum total shared memory system
wide.

* Hostname command should return the fully qualified hostname as

shown
below:
% hostname
hostname.domainname
* If any Java packages are installed on the system, unset the Java
environment variables, for example JAVA_HOME.
* The oracle account used to install Oracle 9.2.0.1, should not have
 the Oracle install related variables set by default.
For example setting ORACLE_HOME, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include
Oracle binaries in .profile, .login file and /etc/profile.d should
be completely avoided.

3. Now You are ready to invoke your Oracle Universal Installer.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
----------------

Generic Information
-------------------

* After installing 9.2.0.4.0 base. Please apply the 9.2.0.6.0 or above

patchset.
As the certification metric on metalink minimum certified version on
RedHat 4 is 9.2.0.6.0

* After installing the Patch 4198954 . Following errors can be encountered

During the shutdown of the server

---------------------------------
Unmounting file systems: umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /usr: device is busy
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /usr: device is busy

During the startup of the server

---------------------------------
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libcwait.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload
cannot be
preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libcwait.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload

object '/usr/lib/libcwait.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be
preloaded:
ignored.
[ OK ]

Above error are only possible if the /usr has seperate mount point.

Workaround
----------
Move the libcwait.so library from /usr/lib to /lib
Modify the path in /etc/ld.so.preload.

% cat /etc/ld.so.preload
/usr/lib/libcwait.so ## Change this line to /lib/libcwait.so

After the changing the file should look like

% cat /etc/ld.so.preload
/lib/libcwait.so
 This issue has been fixed
