Answer Posted / chinnilax

install Oracle on a text-mode Linux box


The environment:
1) Computer 1: my Fedora 7 linux. Installed in text-mode
only. No X-server, no-gnome and no-kde.
Computer 1 IP: 192.168.1.9
2) Computer 2: some computer with X-server capability. In
my case I used CYGWIN on a WinXP machine.
Computer 2 IP: 192.168.1.79

HowTO:
a) Setup Fedora 7 as usual:

============================================================
==============================
under /home/oracle... unpack oracle 10.2.0.1
unzip 10201_database_linux32.zip
and it will create a folder called "database"
and to install oracle we run: (after all the below setup be
finished)
cd database
./runInstaller &

/etc/sysctl.conf file:

kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default=262144
net.core.rmem_max=262144
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_max=262144

# From Fedora 7 DVD
cd /media/dvd/Fedora
rpm -Uvh setarch-*
rpm -Uvh --force tcl-*
rpm -Uvh compat-db-*
rpm -Uvh --force libXau-devel-*
rpm -ivh gcc (install all the dependences... starting from
kernel-header)

yum install libXp libaio

groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper

useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
passwd oracle

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01

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

/etc/redhat-release

redhat-4

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

.bash_profile (oracle user)

# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1; export
ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=TSH1; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM
PATH=/usr/sbin:$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/rd
bms/jlib; export CLASSPATH

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
fi

============================================================
==============================

b) On CYGWIN (X-Server box)
In my case... in WinXP... I ran:

Start -> Run -> "C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat"

It will open a terminal screen:
==> you must authorize linux box (192.168.1.9) to connect
onto this X-server:
==> run: xhost +192.168.1.9

mson77@192.168.1.79 ~
$ ssh oracle@192.168.1.9
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.9 (192.168.1.9)' can't
be established.
RSA key fingerprint is
7a:43:73:7d:3c:a2:05:9a:4a:7f:6f:c1:23:08:f1:55.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.9' (RSA) to the list
of known hosts.
oracle@192.168.1.9's password:
