vi /etc/pam.d/login
add the line
session required pam_limits.so
vi /etc/security/limits.conf
add the following lines
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024

Create the required directories
vi /home/oracle/.bash_profile
add the following code line
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/home/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
Now copy downloaded oracle installation files to the /tmp directory. Ensure that oracle user can access the files and folder.
Switch the user to oracle and unzip both the 11g installer dir. This should create a single dir database. Post this logout and login with oracle
Now go to the database dir and run the runInstaller.
- ./runInstaller
Now select the options as per your requirement to install the oracle db software.
At this point you would come to know what’s missing and accordingly install the packages or perform changes in OS.
Run these scripts from root login.
Now ur db is up and running and ready for use.
