18 Steps for Oracle 18c Installation and Database Creation for On Premise Environment

18 Steps for Oracle 18c Installation and Database Creation for On Premise Environment

Hi DBAs,

Oracle 18c Rel3 On premise Database released as expected in Jul 2018. Since I work and Spend most of my time
working with On Premise Databases, Applications and Fusion Middleware components, so decided to write this post based on

My practical experience with Oracle 18c today to assist DBAs.

Below are my 18 steps for Oracle 18c Installation on Linux 64-bit Operating System:



Step 1: Copy and Unzip the Software on server.

Once you unzip the Oracle18c Rel3 Software you will notice while extracting lot of linking of binaries happen and it will
create ORACLE_HOME in same path, this is interesting and new feature of 18c Database.f

cd Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit/
  ls -ltr
  unzip LINUX.X64_180000_db_home.zip

Step 2:Verify and check the Shared Memory Operating System level

It is very important to resize kernel.shmmax and kernel.shmall parameter in /etc/sysctl.conf as below


[oracle@orasolsTest Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit]$ free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available

net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048586

Step 3: Create and Configure a Single Instance Database

Go to $ORACLE_HOME path and launch ./runInstaller




Step 4: Choose as Server Class if you are doing on Server or Desktop for your own System


Step 5: Choose Enterprise Edition

 Standard Edition 2 seems new from Oracle 18c on premise DB


Step 6: Specify ORACLE_BASE location. 

It should be under same path where you extracted the Oracle 18c Release 3 software. Details in my post in Step 1.




Step 7: Choose General Purpose and Specify the Database Identifiers in the next screen.



Step 8: Specify configuration options

Memory
Character Set
Sample schemas







Step 9: Specify Database Storage options



Step 9: Specify Management options if required(optional step)


Step 10: Specify RECOVERY options if required(optional step)




Step 10: Specify SAMPLE options if required(optional step)


Step 11:Specify Privilege OS groups



Step 12: Installer does series of prerequisite checks


Step 13:Verify Summary and Click Install for installation and Database creation of Oracle 18c 







Step 14:Execute root.sh script to perform series of actions :

After executing 'root.sh' you will get Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA) location if you want you can setup it as well. This is new feature from Oracle 18c Release 3 Database.

[root@orasolsTest Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit]# pwd
/u02/ora18c/soft/Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit
[root@orasolsTest Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit]# sh root.sh

[root@orasolsTest soft]# ls
Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit
[root@orasolsTest soft]# cd Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit/
[root@orasolsTest Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit]# pwd
/u02/ora18c/soft/Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit
[root@orasolsTest Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit]# sh root.sh
Performing root user operation.

The following environment variables are set as:
    ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
    ORACLE_HOME=  /u02/ora18c/soft/Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit

Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:
   Copying dbhome to /usr/local/bin ...
   Copying oraenv to /usr/local/bin ...
   Copying coraenv to /usr/local/bin ...


Creating /etc/oratab file...
Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.
Do you want to setup Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA) now ? yes|[no] :
no
Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA - Non Daemon Mode) is available at :
    /u02/ora18c/soft/Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit/suptools/tfa/release/tfa_home/bin/tfactl

Note :
1. tfactl will use TFA Daemon Mode if TFA already running in Daemon Mode and user has access to TFA
2. tfactl will configure TFA Non Daemon Mode only if user has no access to TFA Daemon mode or TFA Daemon mode is not

installed

OR

Oracle Trace File Analyzer (TFA - Daemon Mode) can be installed by running this script :
    /u02/ora18c/soft/Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit/suptools/tfa/release/tfa_home/install/roottfa.sh

[root@orasolsTest Oracle_18c_Rel3_Linux_64bit]#


Step 15: After executing 'root.sh' continue with the Installation of the product




Click Close. This completes Oracle 18c Software Installation and 


Step 16: Post installation Steps:

=> Create the Environment file for Oracle 18c
=> Source the Environment

[oracle@orasolsTest ~]$ cat ora18c.env
# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
