Can we really install Oracle 11gR2_64 on OEL7?

The answer seems be “NO”.

Please see following article:

Loading Oracle 11g R2 on Oracle Linux 7 problems

I actually got exactly same error about “ins_ctx.mk”:

Oracle Installer:[INS-13001] Environment does not meet minimum requirements

Hi,

I discussed with Oracle support and they didn’t want to confirm it’s a bug.

Hey, it’s a bug!!!! It’s clear the Oracle database 11.2.0.3 installer needs to be updated for OEL 7 version.

I closed the SR and accepted the workaroud suggested to turn off the system prerequisites checks.

“./runInstaller -ignoreSysprereqs -ignorePrereq”

I have installed the database software and created new databases just fine! Everything seems to be running fine!

Thanks,

Oracle 11gR2 installation on OL6/7 – Check packages failed even they are installed already – Doc ID 1454982.1

CAUSE

OUI executes the following command:

/bin/rpm -q --qf %{version} redhat-release

and no output is returned (because in RHEL6 the package redhat-release has been replaced by redhat-release-server-6Server).

This causes OUI to believe that the server is not a RHEL server.

As OUI can not identify what type of server it is, OUI performs the default (OEL4) prerequisite checks.

This problem has been logged as unpublished bug 13981169 with Oracle Development.

In addition to this, no RHEL6 prerequisite checks are defined in <path>/database/stage/cvu/cvu_prereq.xml in the 11.2.0.3 media.

SOLUTION

If you have received the 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4 media on DVD,
it will be necessary to copy the media from the DVD to a disk on the RHEL6 server.
If you have downloaded the 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4 media from My Oracle Support (MOS) then you extract first the software.

Once the software is copied/extracted under  <path>/database, do the following:

1. Change directory to <path>/database/stage/cvu/cv/admin
2. Backup cvu_config

% cp cvu_config backup_cvu_config

3. Edit cvu_config and change the following line:

CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL4

to:

CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL6

4. Save the updated cvu_config file
5. Install the 11.2.0.3 or 11.2.0.4 software using <path>/database/runInstaller

% cd <path>/database
% ./runInstaller

OUI should now perform the OEL6 prerequisite checks (which are identical to the RHEL6 prerequisite checks) and
no longer report that packages “elfutils-libelf-devel-0.97” and “pdksh-5.2.14” are missing.

ATTENTION :
About the 32 bit version of soft (x86), in case the problem remains then :

– restore the original cvu_config file

– after manually verifying that all of the requirements have been met,
choose the ‘Ignore all‘ option in the installer and continue with the installation.

Oracle 11g installation on Linux – DISPLAY variable issues – X windows doesn’t work

This often happens for Junior DBA who is doing a test installation on stand along Linux box.

The reason this issue happens because the user you are using are different user who start up the desktop interface (X windows).

In my example, the desktop started by user “maxora” as general purpose. And I created another user “oraadmin” will implement the installation task. When I login “oraadmin”, no matter I setup DISPLAY=:0 or not, run xhost will always through the error to you. This is because “oraadmin” doesn’t have privilege to access to “maxora” Xwindow display set “:0”. Here is the testimony:

[maxora@ol7 ~]$ export DISPLAY=:0
[maxora@ol7 ~]$ xhost +127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 being added to access control list
[maxora@ol7 ~]$ su – oraadmin

[oraadmin@ol7 ~]$ export DISPLAY=:0
[oraadmin@ol7 ~]$ xhost +127.0.0.1
No protocol specified
xhost: unable to open display “:0”
[oraadmin@ol7 ~]$

In order to grant Xwindows to “oraadmin”, we can issue following command as user “maxora”: xhost +

[maxora@ol7 ~]$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[maxora@ol7 ~]$ su – oraadmin

[oraadmin@ol7 ~]$ export DISPLAY=:0
[oraadmin@ol7 ~]$ xhost +127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 being added to access control list

Now, it’s ready to start installation.

Virgin Post!

Please be polite. This is my virgin post on wordpress. I have no yet any idea what should I do to it. But first I’d like to describe myself. I want to be a advanced web developer and C++ / Java programmer as well in any near future. English is not my native language. If you see any non-proper expression, please do not hesitate to point out.

Thank you for taking time,
