Ubuntu is not an official supported linux version from Oracle, so I still get some errors during the install process even with required configuration, anyway, it can work and what i'm doing here is try to setup an experiment environment, it's enough to me, any one who want to deploy Oracle in product mode should have supported linux platform like RedHat, OK, following is the steps i have to install it:
1. If you were in multihomed enviroment, set the ORACLE_HOSTNAME variable:
export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=machine_name.domain_name
2. Create create OSDBA (dba) group, Oracle Inventory group (oinstall) and a user "oracle" which has "dba" as its login group and oinstall as its 2nd group.
3. Modify /etc/sysctl.conf, set kernel parameter:
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 1048576
net.core.rmem_max = 1048576
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144
4. Modify /etc/security/limits.conf to improve the "number of process" and "number of open file" performance for oracle:
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
5. Modify /etc/pam.d/login, add:
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
session required pam_limits.so
6. Modify /etc/profile:
if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
fi
7. Change user to oracle if you haven't done it yet
8. Create base directory, for me it's "/app/oracle"
9. Export ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_SID
export ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
10. If you're trying to install oracle with a X window:
DISPLAY=your.ip.address:0.0 ; export DISPLAY
11. run installer:
./runInstaller
12. Oracle should start, if the installer GUI cannot be start, check the error messages, most time it's because a wrong X window configuration, if you are running X window with Xming, just like me, please do make sure to check the "No Access Control" check box in the launch, otherwise, Xming will reject the connection.
13. Now the GUI shoudl open, like what you did in the Windows system, fullfill required value and click next, ingore all errors if there is any condition that is not match, click finish in the last step, it should start install process.
14. After install oracle, the installer GUI will ask you to run two .sh files, run it with a root role.
15. You can try to visit
https://you.ip.address:1158/em to see is that OK for you.
16. How to start oracle:
export ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
export ORACLE_OWNR=oracle
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
lsnrctl start
sqlplus /nolog
connect /as sysdba
startup
quit
emctl start dbconsole
