Installing Oracle RDBMS (stand-alone system or database server)

Install Oracle 12c by using the scripts that are provided in the platform package. Must be installed on a stand-alone server, or on the database server in a distributed environment. The Oracle installation takes approximately 30 minutes depending on the specification of the server.

1. Optional: Validate the installed package and set the ulimit value to 65536 by using the following command:

   ulimit -n 65536

   If you encounter an issue when you run run the root.sh script, this step is needed.

2. Run the commands as user root on the server:

   #/var/install/sbin/oracle12C_install

   The installation conducts a number of checks:

   Check Oracle User exists...
   .... Done
   Check oinstall group exists...
   group oinstall does not exist, creating...
   OK.
   Check dba group exists...
   .... OK
