Generic Linux

Purpose

This bulletin is produced to provide a central source for all the primary installation settings for the various mainstream unix platforms, e.g. IBM AIX, HP-UX, Oracle Solaris, Tru64, and Linux.

Careful comparison of the Installation Guide and the applicable release note for an OS/Oracle version has been done to ensure that this bulletin provides the most complete source of data in hopes that it will save time for each researching analyst.

Keeping the OS kernel current helps stabilize the system. Production systems should never run an out dated OS kernel version. As a best practice, Oracle recommends the OS kernel version be maintained to within 6 months of current. Please contact the OS vendor directly for more information, risk exposure, and patching recommendations.

NOTE 1: As of now ,12.1 Database is released only for Linux & Solaris ,hence the note has the information only for these platforms.

NOTE 2: Pre-compilers requirements are no longer addressed in this note, for a single source note
that addresses Pre-compiler/Compiler requirements, please refer to:
Note 43208.1 Certified Compilers

Scope

This focus of this bulletin is on assisting the Oracle Unix installation community in resolving installation issues of the RDBMS.
This bulletin places in one document all the pertinent information related to installations that has been extracted from three different documents (Installation Guides, Release Notes, and SRNs)

PRE-INSTALLATION SCRIPTS

The Remote Diagnostic Agent RDA (Note 314422.1 for more info on RDA) has the capability to run a Pre-Installation check on several Unix Platforms.

Please refer to (Note 250262.1 RDA - Health Check / Validation Engine Guide ) for specifics on how to run these Pre-Install scripts on your server.

OPatch FAQ

To apply one-off patches and Critical Patch Updates (CPUs) or Patch Set Update (PSU) ,you have to use the patching utility, OPatch. Oracle Support requests you always use the latest version before applying any patches to your server, to get the latest version,

To verify if the system meets the minimum patch bundle requirements, use the following command:
# /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle |grep QPK

To determine if a patch is installed, enter a command similar to the following:
# /usr/sbin/swlist -l patch | more

To determine the compiler installed, enter the following command:
# /usr/sbin/swlist -l product | grep -i compiler

To view the shared memory kernel parameters (shmmni, shmseg, and shmmax) and determine if any changes are necessary for your system., run the following command:
# kctune -v shmmni# kctune -v shmseg
# kctune -v shmmax
