Installation of Oracle in Solaris Platform:
1. Check the OS packages that are required for the Oracle installation.
pkginfo -i SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibC SUNWlibms SUNWsprot SUNWtoo SUNWi1of SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs SUNWxwfnt
2. Install them, mount the Solaris installation dvd and run the following command:
pkgadd -d /cdrom/sol_10_910_x86/Solaris_10/Product SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs
3. Create user and groups for the Oracle installation:
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
useradd -g oinstall -G dba -d /export/home/oracle -s /usr/bin/bash oracle
passwd oracle
4. Create necessary folder for the installation:
mkdir -p /export/home/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
mkdir /export/home/oracle/tmp
chown -R oracle:oinstall /export/home/oracle
5. Change kernel parameters
projadd -U oracle -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4g,deny)" oracle
projmod -sK "project.max-sem-nsems=(priv,256,deny)" oracle
projmod -sK "project.max-sem-ids=(priv,100,deny)" oracle
projmod -sK "project.max-shm-ids=(priv,100,deny)" oracle
echo "set maxuprc=16384" >> /etc/system
echo "set max_nprocs=30000" >> /etc/system
echo "set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295" >> /etc/system
6. Reboot the machine and login with an oracle user
Let’s create a new swap file with 1Gb size, as it’s required for the Oracle installation
mkfile 1024m /export/home/oracle/orcl_swap
swap -a /export/home/oracle/orcl_swap
Note: If on installation it gives error then increase the size of swap upto 4Gb.
7. Change the .profile file of the oracle user and set necessary environment variables:
gedit /export/home/oracle/.profile
export ORACLE_BASE=/export/home/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/db_1
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export TMP=/export/home/oracle/tmp
export TMPDIR=/export/home/oracle/tmp
export DISPLAY=:0.0
Save file
8. Unzip the software and start the installation process:
cp /cdrom/files/* /export/home/oracle/installation
cd /export/home/oracle/installation
unzip your_file1.zip
unzip your_file2.zip
cd database
./runInstaller
and at last run the root.sh or orainstROOT.sh
