ABSTRACT

Oracle’s dramatic re-architecture of its latest

enterprise relational database, Oracle Database
12c, offers database customers a long list of
real improvements to support cloud
implementations, enable the consolidation and
management of many databases as one, and
streamline the day-to-day work of database
administrators. This documents used for
showing, Oracle GRID Infrastructure and the
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) installation the
Oracle Database 12c software. Moreover, this
document also show how to create Oracle ASM
Configuration Assistant (ASMCA), installing and
configuring Oracle ASM instances, disk groups,

INSTALLING ORACLE GRID volumes, and Oracle Automatic Storage

Management Cluster File System (Oracle
ACFS) and create a database by using
INFRASTRUCTURE AND Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to
create additional databases.

Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Database 12c R1

Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c R1 (12.1) On Standalone Server

(Oracle Restart)On Linux 7 with ASM
Required:

Using VirtualBox GUI I have created a new virtual machine named linux 7 with following:
-Server should have at least 50-60 GB free space for the installation of Grid Infrastructure and Oracle
Database 12c home.

- 2 network interfaces (the first one attached to NAT and the second one attached to Host-Only
Adapter)

-Minimum Memory Requirements

At least 4 GB RAM is required to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c and Oracle Database 12c.

- Download package oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall-1.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm from http://public-

yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/ and once download completed using
this command rpm -ivh oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall-1.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm or if you
have internet connection using: yum update -y
Or yum install 12cr1-preinstall-1.0-1.el6.x86_64 -y with root user after complete install linux7

I was assuming t that you have been install Linux 7 in your virtual box already with assign

Static IP = 192.168.56.1 in your virtual box adopter and configure network on your VM by

- Hostname= linux7 with IP = 192.168.56.200 and hostname = linux 7

-Disable SELINUX and FIREWALL

Set secure Linux to permissive by editing the "/etc/selinux/config" file, making sure the SELINUX flag
is set as follows.

SELINUX=permissive

Navigate to System => Administration => Firewall. Click on Disable button and then click on Apply to
disable firewall. Or command systemctl disable firewalld

- Creating Groups, Users and Environment variables

Creation groups for Oracle Grid Infrastructure

/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54328 asmdba

/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54329 asmoper

/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54330 asmadmin

- Create Oracle Grid Infrastructure User (grid)

#useradd -u 64322 -g oinstall -G dba,asmdba,asmadmin,asmoper -d /home/grid -m grid

- Create Oracle user

#useradd -u 64321 -g oinstall -G dba,oper -d /home/oracle -m oracle

Change password of user grid and oracle

#Passwd grid

#Passwd oracle

#usermod -a -G oper oracle

#usermod -a -G asmdba oracle

1.Creating directories
 Create the Oracle Inventory Directory

mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory

chown -R grid:oinstall /u01/app/oraInventory

chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oraInventory

 Creating the Oracle Base Directory for Oracle Grid installation

mkdir -p /u01/app/grid

chown -R grid:oinstall /u01/app/grid

chmod -R 775 /u01/app/grid

 Creating the Oracle Grid Infrastructure Home Directory

mkdir -p /u01/app/grid/ product/12.1.0.1/grid

chown -R grid:oinstall /u01/app/grid

chmod -R 775 /u01/

 Creating the Oracle Base Directory for Oracle Database installation

pg. 2
Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Database 12c R1

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle

chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle

 Creating the Oracle RDBMS Home Directory

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.1/db_1

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.1

 Needed to ensure that dbca is able to run after the rdbms installation.

mkdir /u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs

chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs

 Configure .bash_profile for grid user

Login to the server as grid user. Use vi editor to edit the profile of grid user.

vi $HOME/.bash_profile

Add the following entries in the file:

# Oracle Settings for grid user

export TMP=/tmp

export TMPDIR=$TMP

export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=linux7

export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/grid

export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12.1.0.1/grid

export ORA_CRS_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME

export ORACLE_SID=+ASM

export PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH

pg. 3

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

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

envo

umask 022

 Configure .bash_profile for oracle user

Login to the server as oracle user. Use vi editor to edit the profile of oracle user.

vi $HOME/.bash_profile

Add the following entries in the file:

# Oracle Settings for oracle user

export TMP=/tmp

export TMPDIR=$TMP

export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=linux7

export ORACLE_UNQNAME=asmdb

export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle

export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/12.1.0.1/db_1

export ORACLE_SID=asmdb

export PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH

export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

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

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

envo

umask 022

After complete configure already , login as root user and command init 0 to shutdown system and
adding Virtual disk

Go to setting of your --- Storage and add virtual disk

Name : DISK1 15G

Name : DISK2 15G

NAME : FRA 5G

Then start your linux 7 Virtual box

Using tool such as Putty or Secure CRT to connect your VM

- Checking Oracle Linux is up and running. Now we check whether oracleasm package is
installed: if not yet , install oracleasm-support-2.1.8-3.1.el7.x86_64,
#Yum install -y oracleasm-support-2.1.8-3.1.el7.x86_64

 Configuring and load the ASM kernel module (as root user).
#oracleasm configure -i

Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.

This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library

driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is

loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values

will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an

answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.

Default user to own the driver interface []: grid

Default group to own the driver interface []: asmadmin

Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y

Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]: y

Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done

The script completes following tasks:

- Creates the /etc/sysconfig/oracleasm configuration file

- Creates the /dev/oracleasm mount point
- Mounts the ASMLib driver file system

 Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Database 12c R1

 Download – linuxamd64_12c_grid_1of2.zip
 Download – linuxamd64_12c_grid_2of2.zip
 Copy zip files to oracle server to /tmp directory using WinSCP and unzip it

Login as Grid user and go to the location of that download file and go to folder grid

Open Xmanager (I assume that you already install it ) as administrator

The installation Oracle Universal Installer will be starting :

- Choosing Skips software update --- Next

- Install and configure oracle grid Infrastructure for standalone server --Next
- DISKGROUPNAME= DATA , Redundancy = Normal (Mirror disk group ) , Candidate disks: click
DISK1 ,DISK2—next
- Installation location : /u01/app/grid/ product/12.1.0.1/grid
- Oracle bas: /u01/app/grid --- next
- Click Automatic run configure script --- providing root password -- next
- Finish

After finish , run asmca in order to create FRA diskgroup by click on Redundancy = external (not
mirror )

 Check the status of the cluster

As grid use the following command to check the status of the cluster software.

#crsctl stat res -t
