Quick installation of Oracle DBMS versions 11G and older in Linux (without installing the UEK kernel

You were given a server with a minimum set of packages and you need to quickly install the DBMS, for this:

The article does not describe the process of configuring repositories, it is assumed that either the default or organization repositories are used.

1. Download the preinstall package for the required version of the DBMS from the oracle repository

For example, we install on CentOS Linux release 7.6 DBMS 12.2, therefore download the package:

oracle-database-preinstall-19c-1.0-1.el8.x86_64.rpm

Installation directory /opt/oracle

1. Create directory for distributions:

mkdir -p /opt/oracle/distr

2. Copy the package and archive from the DBMS to the created directory:

# cd /opt/oracle/distr
 # ls -la

3. Create a folder to unpack the rpm file and unpack it

# mkdir ./rpm
 # cd ./rpm/
 # rpm2cpio ../oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall-1.0-4.el7.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv

4. We look at the package dependencies for their further installation

# cd ../
 # rpm -qpR oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall-1.0-4.el7.x86_64.rpm | egrep -v 'rpmlib|^/|=|uek' | awk '{ printf "%s \\ \n", $1 '}

Copy the output lines and paste into the yum prompt

# yum install \

5. Create oracle account, oinstall group and kernel configuration

# cd /opt/oracle/distr/rpm/etc/sysconfig/oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall/
 # chmod +x ./oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall-verify
 # ./oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall-verify

6. Checking the set kernel parameters, the presence of the oracle user

# su - oracle
 # exit
 # cat /etc/sysctl.conf
 # uname -a

At the same time, the kernel does not change to UEK

Create a copy of the default profile

cp ~/.bash_profile ~/.ora_<version>

Edit the file by adding the following lines

vi .ora_<virsion>

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH

# Oracle Settings

TMP=/tmp; export TMP

TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE

ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12.1.0;

export ORACLE_HOME

ORACLE_SID=db1; export ORACLE_SID

TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/network/admin; export TNS_ADMIN

PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH

PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then

if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then

ulimit -p 16384

ulimit -n 65536

else

ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536

ps: replace paths with correct ones

Unpack the archive from the DBMS to any directory

Run the installation from the command line with the command

./runInstaller -ignorePrereq -waitforcompletion -silent \
