Install Oracle Database 11.2.0.1 on Linux

I had to Install Oracle Identity Manager for SSO which needs Oracle Database for MetaData Repository Storage.

I followed the Below steps to Install the Database.

Version used: Oracle 11.2.0.1

OS Used : Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Carthage)

Created one OS user : oracle .

Created two OS group : dba, oinstall.

Added the OS user : Oracle to Group dba and oinstall.



On linux :

id oracle

uid=502(oracle) gid=501(dba) groups=501(dba),502(oinstall)

Now I have the software in the directory :

/u01/app/soft/

cd /u01/app/soft/

./runinstaller













Specify the Installation Directories :

Oracle Base = /u01/app/oracle

Oracle Software Install location : /u01/app/oracle/product/1121



Here "dba" is the group from OS.









 



 

[root@wbidm 11201]# ./root.sh

Running Oracle 11g root.sh script...

 The following environment variables are set as:

    ORACLE_OWNER= oracle

    ORACLE_HOME=  /u01/app/oracle/product/11201

 

Now the Database Installation is Successful

Now we need to setup the environment variable for the Oracle Software .

As this is Redhat Linux, we will be setting the environment in .bash_profile file located in /home/oracle dir ( oracle is the OS userid ).

Below are the details to be added in the .bash_profile file :

wbidmdb = This is the database service name that we will create here.

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

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_SID=wbidmdb
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11201
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_26/bin:.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib

export PATH

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

After editing the above environment variable parameter , logout from the linux terminal and log-in back.

Now below are the steps to create the DATABASE ( WBIDMDB) using the dbca command:
