Introduction -
Oracle Database is widely used commercial Database on Unix/Linux and Windows platform….
This article explain the step by step installation of Oracle 10g Release 2.0 on Ubuntu 8.04111!!
Please refer the Oracle installation guide for System requirement…
1] Hardware requirement -
RAM – minimum 1024 MB of physical memory
Disk space -1.5 GB to 3.5 GB of disk space, depends on the installation…
Minimum 400 MB of disk space in the /tmp directory
arunsb@arun:~$ free -m
arunsb@arun:~$ df -h
arunsb@arun:~$ df -h /tmp
2] Software dependency -
Make sure that following packages are installed on your system!!
make-3.8
gcc-4.2
libdb4.2
libdb4.2++-dev
libstdc++6
libstdc++6-4.2-dev
libmotif-dev
libmotif3
root@arun:~# apt-get install build-essential libc6-dev libmotif-dev libmotif3
root@arun:~# apt-get install xauth libxp6 libxt6 libxtst6 libaio1 glibc-source
root@arun:~# apt-get install rpm
root@arun:~# ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
root@arun:~# ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename
root@arun:~# ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpm
root@arun:~# dpkg -l
3] Operating System Groups and Users for Oracle -
* oinstall – Oracle Inventory group
* dba – The OS DBA group
* oracle – Oracle software owner (in mycase arunsb is oracle user)
root@arun:~# id oracle
id: oracle: No such user
root@arun:~#
root@arun:~# grep oinstall /etc/group
root@arun:~# grep dba /etc/group
NOTE – “oinstall” should be primary group of oracle user. It is not necessary to use “oracle” as username, you can name but make sure that the “oinstall” is primary group of that user!!
root@arun:~# addgroup oinstall
Adding group ‘oinstall’ (GID 1001) …
Done.
root@arun:~#
root@arun:~# addgroup dba
Adding group `dba’ (GID 1002) …
Done.
root@arun:~#
root@arun:~# addgroup nobody
Adding group `nobody’ (GID 1000) …
Done.
root@arun:~#
root@arun:~# useradd -g oinstall -G dba arunsb
root@arun:~#
root@arun:~# id arunsb
uid=1000(arunsb) gid=1001(oinstall) groups=1001(oinstall),1002(dba)
root@arun:~#
*** other setting -
root@arun:~# echo “Red Hat Linux release 3.0 (drupal)” > /etc/redhat-release
root@arun:~# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 3.0 (drupal)
root@arun:~#
PART 2 – please
Introduction –
An ISO 9660 is file system for CD-ROM media. Which is published (defined) by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO image is an archive file (disk image) of an optical disc (like CD) using a conventional ISO 9660 format that is widely supported by many OS and software.
1] How copy data from ISO image –
I just downloaded opensolaris ISO image. and wanted copy data from iso image.
step 1) I downloaded the image in /opensolaris directory
root@arun:/opensolaris# ls -l
total 700768
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 716881920 2008-08-26 06:21 opensolaris-200805.iso
root@arun:/opensolaris#
step 2) mount the ISO image as shown below -
root@arun:/opensolaris# mount -o loop /opensolaris/opensolaris-200805.iso /mnt/
root@arun:/opensolaris#
* Check mount point…
root@arun:/mnt# mount | grep iso
/opensolaris/opensolaris-200805.iso on /mnt type iso9660 (rw,loop=/dev/loop0)
root@arun:/mnt#
step 3) Go to mounted directory ie /mnt (in my case) -
root@arun:/opensolaris# cd /mnt/
root@arun:/mnt# ls
bin boot bootcd_microroot COPYRIGHT dev devices jack LICENSE mnt platform proc
reconfigure root solarismisc.zlib solaris.zlib system tmp
root@arun:/mnt#
2] How to create ISO image -
a) using dd command we can create iso image of CD
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/mycdimgage.iso
b) using mkisofs command we can create iso image of our data in any directories
** mkisofs command –
-R, -rock Generate Rock Ridge directory information
-o FILE, -output FILE Set output ISO file name
-l, -full-iso9660-filenames Allow full 31 character filenames for ISO9660 names
-max-iso9660-filenames Allow 37 character filenames for ISO9660 names (violates ISO9660)
-input-charset CHARSET Local input character for file name conversion
-output-charset CHARSET Output character set for file name conversion
root@arun:~# mkisofs -input-charset utf-8 -R -o /tmp/mycdimage.iso /mnt/

root@arun:~#
* checking the Size of ISO image of /mnt directory
root@arun:~# du -sh /tmp/mycdimage.iso
685M /tmp/mycdimage.iso
root@arun:~#
3] How Burn (copy) ISO image to CD -
cdrecord is the command line tool to burn or write iso image file to CD
** cdrecord command -
-v Verbose i.e show info while burning the disk
-dev=0,0,0 Device number
-multi Start multi session disk
-data This option required for HP and Sony CD Writer only.
-scanbus scan the SCSI and IDE buses and exit
-dummy do everything with laser turned off
-eject Ejects the CD when Done
-speed=12 Writing speed (12x )
-msinfo retrieve multi-session info for genisoimage
timeout= set the default SCSI command timeout to
/tmp/mycdimage.iso Name of iso image which to be burned
* How to get Device number ?
root@arun:~# cdrecord -scanbus
scsibus3:
3,0,0 300) ‘MATSHITA’ ‘UJDA775 DVD/CDRW’ ‘1.00′ Removable CD-ROM
….
root@arun:~#
root@arun:~# cdrecord -dev=3,0,0 -multi -data -v -eject -speed=4 /tmp/mycdimage.iso
NOTE – above device naming convention doesn’t work in Ubuntu use device file directly…
root@arun:~# cdrecord -dev=/dev/cdrom -multi -data -v -eject -speed=4 /tmp/mycdimage.iso
…

** Hey, just mount the CD and see
NOTE - Brasero CD burning (http://www.gnome.org/projects/brasero/) – GNOME tool for writing/burning CD is included in Ubuntu 8.04!!
Thank you,
