Install Required Linux Packages for Oracle RAC

Install Required Linux Packages for Oracle RAC

Install the following required Linux packages on both Oracle RAC nodes in the cluster.

After installing Enterprise Linux, the next step is to verify and install all packages (RPMs) required by both Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC. The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) performs checks on your machine during installation to verify that it meets the appropriate operating system package requirements. To ensure that these checks complete successfully, verify the software requirements documented in this section before starting the Oracle installs.

Although many of the required packages for Oracle were installed during the Enterprise Linux installation, several will be missing either because they were considered optional within the package group or simply didn't exist in any package group!

The packages listed in this section (or later versions) are required for Oracle grid infrastructure 11g Release 2 and Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 running on the Enterprise Linux 5 platform.


 

32-bit (x86) Installations

Each of the packages listed above can be found on CD #1, CD #2, and CD #3 on the Enterprise Linux 5 - (x86) CDs. While it is possible to query each individual package to determine which ones are missing and need to be installed, an easier method is to run the rpm -Uvh PackageName command from the five CDs as follows. For packages that already exist and are up to date, the RPM command will simply ignore the install and print a warning message to the console that the package is already installed.

# From Enterprise Linux 5.4 (x86)- [CD #1]

mkdir -p /media/cdrom

mount -r /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

cd /media/cdrom/Server

rpm -Uvh binutils-2.*

rpm -Uvh elfutils-libelf-0.*

rpm -Uvh glibc-2.*

rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.*

rpm -Uvh kernel-headers-2.*

rpm -Uvh ksh-2*

rpm -Uvh libaio-0.*

rpm -Uvh libgcc-4.*

rpm -Uvh libstdc++-4.*

rpm -Uvh make-3.*

cd /

eject


 


 

# From Enterprise Linux 5.4 (x86) - [CD #2]

64-bit (x86_64) Installations

Each of the packages listed above can be found on CD #1, CD #2, CD #3, and CD #4 on the Enterprise Linux 5 - (x86_64) CDs. While it is possible to query each individual package to determine which ones are missing and need to be installed, an easier method is to run the rpm -Uvh PackageName command from the six CDs as follows. For packages that already exist and are up to date, the RPM command will simply ignore the install and print a warning message to the console that the package is already installed.

# From Enterprise Linux 5.4 (x86_64)- [CD #1]

mkdir -p /media/cdrom

mount -r /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

cd /media/cdrom/Server

rpm -Uvh binutils-2.*

rpm -Uvh elfutils-libelf-0.*

rpm -Uvh glibc-2.*

rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.*

rpm -Uvh ksh-2*

rpm -Uvh libaio-0.*

rpm -Uvh libgcc-4.*

rpm -Uvh libstdc++-4.*

rpm -Uvh make-3.*

cd /

eject


 


 

# From Enterprise Linux 5.4 (x86_64) - [CD #2]

mount -r /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

cd /media/cdrom/Server

rpm -Uvh elfutils-libelf-devel-*

rpm -Uvh gcc-4.*

rpm -Uvh gcc-c++-4.*

rpm -Uvh glibc-devel-2.*

rpm -Uvh glibc-headers-2.*

rpm -Uvh libstdc++-devel-4.*

rpm -Uvh unixODBC-2.*

cd /

cd /media/cdrom/Server

rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-33*

rpm -Uvh libaio-devel-0.*

rpm -Uvh unixODBC-devel-2.*
