cd /StageR12
# Start Here
mkdir startCD
# APPL_TOP
mkdir oraApps
# RDBMS
mkdir oraDB

Hosts File
The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
Set Kernel Parameters
Add the following lines to the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file.
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.msgmni = 2878
kernel.msgmax = 8192
kernel.msgmnb = 65535
# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 142
fs.file-max = 131072
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
Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters:
/sbin/sysctl -p
Add the following lines to the "/etc/security/limits.conf" file.
* soft nofile 65536
* hard nofile 65536
* soft nproc 16384
* hard nproc 16384
Add the following line to the "/etc/pam.d/login" file, if it does not already exist.
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
Setup
The following additional packages are required. Depending on the update/respin version of Enterprise Linux, the exact package versions and locations may vary.
rpm -Uvh binutils-2*
rpm -Uvh compat-db-*
rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-32-3*
rpm -Uvh compat-gcc-32-c++-3*
rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-296-2*
rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-33-3*
rpm -Uvh control-center-2*
rpm -Uvh gcc-3*
rpm -Uvh gcc-c++-3*
rpm -Uvh glibc-2*
rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2*
rpm -Uvh gnome-libs-1*
rpm -Uvh libaio-0*
rpm -Uvh libstdc++-3*
rpm -Uvh libstdc++-devel-3*
rpm -Uvh make-3*
rpm -Uvh openmotif21*
rpm -Uvh setarch-1*
rpm -Uvh sysstat-5*
rpm -Uvh xscreensaver-4.*
Due to all the package inter-dependencies, it probably makes sense to copy all these packages from the CDs to a single directory, then install then using the following command. For convenience, I wrapped all the necessary packages for an OEL 4.5 installation into a single tar file (12-rh4-rpms.tar), making subsequent installations much simpler.
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Create the new groups and users.
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
groupadd apache
useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
passwd oracle
useradd -g oinstall -G apache apache
passwd apache

mkdir -p /u01
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01

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