Overview
Introduction
Welcome, and thank you for choosing Oracle University. This technical document describes the necessary steps to follow in order to replicate the technical environment for which this course was designed. Before proceeding, you may find it helpful to print this document for ease of reference. The setup for this course is the one that corresponds to the normal setup resulting from a typical Oracle Database10g installation followed by the creation of a database using DBCA. The only addition for this setup are mainly a special setup for the ASM and Oracle Secure Backup labs as well as the addition of the lab and solution files.

Alternative Configurations
We strongly recommend following the exact configurations described in this document. However, we realize that with the abundance of hardware, software, and networking configurations it will not always be possible to follow these steps to the letter. As a result, here is a brief overview of some additional configurations that may work. Please be sure to test these configurations thoroughly and discuss them in detail with your Oracle University Representative before utilizing them to support the course. By following a typical Oracle Database 10g installation that includes Enterprise Manager Database control, you should be able to run this course. Note however that we do not provide any Windows-based setup instructions.

Software Licenses & Support

Please note the following as it relates to software licenses and support: Oracle University does not provide product software or licenses for on-site training events. This document assumes possession of all applicable Oracle software and associated licenses. It is not possible to provide a complete and thorough installation guide in this document, though effort is made to include important directions to follow when performing the installation. Customers with product installation issues should open a Technical Assistance Request (TAR) with Oracle World Wide Support for resolution.

Required Files
The following files are needed for the purposes of completing this setup. If you are missing all or part of these files, please contact your Oracle University Representative: D17092GC30_labs.zip

Glossary of Terminology

Application Server Middle Tier in a 3-Tier or N-Tier architecture. Could consist of the Oracle HTTP Server, Forms Service, Reports Service and Discoverer Server. Client Workstation The computer where client software is installed. Client software might include SQL*Plus, Oracle Forms and Reports Developer, Oracle Designer, Jdeveloper, Procedure Builder and an HTML browser. In a 3-Tier or N-Tier architecture this would be the Client Tier. In the training environment, this is sometimes known as the student machine. Database - Collection of data that is treated as a unit. The purpose of a database is to store and retrieve related information. The database consists of operating system files: data files, control files and redo log files. Database Instance - Every time a database is started, a system global area (SGA) is allocated and Oracle background processes are started. The system global area is an area of memory used for database information shared by the database users. The combination of the background processes and memory buffers is called an Oracle instance. Database Server - Computer where database is created. In a 3-Tier or N-Tier architecture this would be the Database Tier. DMP files files created buy the Oracle Export utility. These DMP files are then used by the Oracle Import utility to import a database, a specific database users objects or a specific set of tables. Intelligent Agent (IA) - A process running on the server that accepts and runs job requests from the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) - a Graphical User Interface tool used to manage oracle databases. OEM Repository - database that stores information about resources managed through OEM. Oracle Management Server - provides a scaleable middle tier for processing system management tasks. It is the optional middle tier of Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) n-tier architecture. ORACLE_BASE operating system variable that specifies the BASE of the Oracle directory structure for OFAcompliant databases. ORACLE_HOME - operating system variable that points to the directory where oracle has been installed ORACLE_SID operating system variable that determines the instance an Oracle application connects to by default.

32. End of installation summary. Click OK. 33. Click Yes to exit. 34. Unlock and assign passwords to all locked schemas in the database. Open a text editor and create a text file named unlock.sh which contains (cut and paste):
sqlplus -S /nolog <<ENDSQL connect / as sysdba SET LINESIZE 132 SET PAGESIZE 0 SET TERMOUT OFF SET NEWPAGE 0 SET SPACE 0 SET ECHO OFF SET FEEDBACK OFF SET HEADING OFF SPOOL x.sql SELECT 'ALTER USER '||username||' IDENTIFIED BY '||username||' ACCOUNT UNLOCK;' FROM dba_users WHERE account_status LIKE '%LOCK%'; SPOOL OFF @x.sql !rm x.sql exit <<ENDSQL

35. Change permissions on file unlock.sh to make it executable, then execute it.
chmod u+x unlock.sh ./unlock.sh

36. As root create the /u01/asmdisks directories.

su mkdir p /u01/asmdisks

37. Create five 400MB files that will be used as ASM disks. Create those files in /u01/asmdisks.
cd dd dd dd dd dd /u01/asmdisks if=/dev/zero of=asm_disk1 if=/dev/zero of=asm_disk2 if=/dev/zero of=asm_disk3 if=/dev/zero of=asm_disk4 if=/dev/zero of=asm_disk5 bs=1024k bs=1024k bs=1024k bs=1024k bs=1024k count=400 count=400 count=400 count=400 count=400

38. Make sure that the asm_disk files are associated to raw devices, and have the right permissions: 7

Copyright 2004, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

chmod 777 asm_disk* losetup losetup losetup losetup losetup raw raw raw raw raw /dev/loop1 /dev/loop2 /dev/loop3 /dev/loop4 /dev/loop5 asm_disk1 asm_disk2 asm_disk3 asm_disk4 asm_disk5 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop2 /dev/loop3 /dev/loop4 /dev/loop5 /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/raw/raw3 /dev/raw/raw4 /dev/raw/raw5

/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/raw/raw3 /dev/raw/raw4 /dev/raw/raw5

chown chown chown chown chown

oracle:oinstall oracle:oinstall oracle:oinstall oracle:oinstall oracle:oinstall

39. Make sure that you stage the Oracle Secure Backup software in the /stage/OSB directory: You should grab ob-4.1cdrom050705 first. Contact your OU representative for more information.
su mkdir /stage cd /stage mkdir OSB cd OSB

40. Then you need to patch the EM software for Oracle Secure Backup links to appear. For that step, you need to replace. For this step, you need to contact your OU representative. 41. As user oracle create the labs and solutions directory in $HOME
cd mkdir labs mkdir solutions

42. As oracle user, extract D17092GC30_labs.zip in $HOME. First, you need to ftp D17092GC30_labs.zip to $HOME in binary mode. Once done, move all the files located into $HOME/D17092GC30_labs/labs into $HOME/labs. Then, move all the files located into $HOME/D17092GC30_labs/solutions into $HOME/solutions. Then, remove the $HOME/D17092GC30_labs directory and the D17092GC30_labs.zip.
cd unzip -a D17092GC30_labs.zip mv $HOME/D17092GC30_labs/labs/* $HOME/labs mv $HOME/D17092GC30_labs/solutions/* $HOME/solutions rm -Rf D17092GC30_labs rm D17092GC30_labs.zip

43. Change permissions to 777 on all the files locates into $HOME/labs and $HOME/solutions:
cd $HOME/labs chmod 777 * cd $HOME/solutions chmod 777 *

Software Test Instructions Testing Oracle*Net: To test the listener and tnsnames are configuration do the following to force an Oracle*Net connection. As the oracle os user in a terminal window:
sqlplus /nolog set instance orcl connect sys/oracle as sysdba

You should see:

$ sqlplus /nolog SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.0.0 - Production Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved. SQL> set instance orcl Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.0.0 - Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options SQL> connect sys/oracle as sysdba Connected. SQL>

Testing DB Control: Start Mozilla 1.4 and point to http://hostname:1158/em. Verify the port location in $ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini.
user: sys pass: oracle as: sysdba

This will bring up the licensing agreement and then take you into DB Control. Testing iSQLPlus: Start Mozilla 1.4 and point to http://hostname:5560/isqlplus. Verify the port location in $ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini.
user: sh pass: sh sid: orcl

This will take you into iSQLPlus.
