How to install Oracle DB 21c Binaries in OEL 8

 

Creating the Directories:

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/db_home
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/db_base
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/oraInventory

chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/oraInventory
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/oraInventory

Download the Database Binaries 21c from Oracle website:

You can download the Database 21c binaries from the following link:

https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/oracle21c-linux-downloads.html

I will download the Linux x86-64 version:

Unzip the files into the DB Home Directory:

[oracle@localhost ~]$ unzip LINUX.X64_213000_db_home.zip -d /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/db_home/

Create a response file:

as oracle user:

$ cat <<EOF > db_install.rsp
oracle.install.responseFileVersion=/oracle/install/rspfmt_dbinstall_response_schema_v21.0.0
oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY
UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall
INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/oraInventory
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/db_home
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/db_base
oracle.install.db.InstallEdition=EE
oracle.install.db.OSDBA_GROUP=dba
oracle.install.db.OSOPER_GROUP=oper
oracle.install.db.OSBACKUPDBA_GROUP=dba
oracle.install.db.OSDGDBA_GROUP=dba
oracle.install.db.OSKMDBA_GROUP=dba
oracle.install.db.OSRACDBA_GROUP=dba
oracle.install.db.rootconfig.executeRootScript=false
oracle.install.db.rootconfig.configMethod=
oracle.install.db.rootconfig.sudoPath=
oracle.install.db.rootconfig.sudoUserName=
oracle.install.db.CLUSTER_NODES=
EOF

Register the Home:

[oracle@localhost db_home]$ ./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/db_home/db_install.rsp -waitForCompletion -printtime

Execute Post-Installation Scripts 

As a root user, execute the following script(s):

1. /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh
2. /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/db_home/root.sh

Apply Patches on Oracle Home to be updated:

You can check the following article to apply a patch:

How to apply a patch with opatchauto

Verify that the home was registered in Oracle Inventory:

[oracle@localhost db_home]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/db_home/OPatch/opatch lsinventory|grep Home
Oracle Home       : /u01/app/oracle/product/21.0.0/db_home
