Installing the Oracle Database Software

Create Oracle software owner user accounts.

mkgroup -'A' id='1000' adms='root' oinstall
mkgroup -'A' id='1100' adms='root' oper
mkgroup -'A' id='1200' adms='root' dba

mkuser id='1101' pgrp='oinstall' groups='dba,oper' home='/home/oracle' oracle
passwd oracle

chuser fsize=-1 oracle
chuser cpu=-1 oracle
chuser data=-1 oracle
chuser stack=-1 oracle
chuser nofiles=65536 oracle
chuser stack_hard=-1 oracle
chuser nofiles_hard=65536 oracle
chuser umask=022 oracle
chuser gecos=oracle@$(hostname -s) oracle

lsuser oracle

Create Oracle software directories.

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app
chmod -R 775 /u01/app

Configure Oracle software owner user account environment.

cat >>/home/oracle/.profile <<"EOF"
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/db_1
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
EOF

Unzip database software files, login as the oracle user, run installer.

# chown -R oracle:oinstall /exp/soft
# chmod -R 775 /exp/soft

# Login as oracle user.
$ unzip -q -d /exp/soft/ /exp/soft/p13390677_112040_AIX64-5L_1of7.zip
$ unzip -q -d /exp/soft/ /exp/soft/p13390677_112040_AIX64-5L_2of7.zip
