This is a fresh install of EBS 12.2.6 in Linux machine using latest startCD 51. There are considerable changes done in this release and the details can be found in my previous posts.

Lets get started:

Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.2) for Linux x86-64 (Doc ID 1330701.1)

1. Installation of Linux

2. Installing rpms for EBS 12.2 and RDBMS 12C

3. Check all rpms

rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}\n" | grep openmotif21

4. Run ldconfig –v command to relink all symbolic libraries

5. Disable selinux and shutdown iptables,ip6tables services also on run levels

vi /etc/selinux/config ( change SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=disabled )

service iptables stop

service ip6tables stop

chkconfig --level 0123456 ip6tables off

chkconfig --level 0123456 iptables off

6. Check kernel settings for the parameters are correctly set

Note: If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in the following table, then do not change the value of that parameter.

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.semmsl 256

kernel.semmns 32000

kernel.semopm 100

kernel.semmni 142

kernel.shmall 20971524

kernel.shmmax Half the size of the physical memory (in bytes), and at least 42949672952

kernel.shmmni 4096

kernel.msgmax 8192

kernel.msgmnb 65535

kernel.msgmni 2878

fs.file-max 6815744

fs.aio-max-nr 1048576

net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range 9000 65500

net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle 05

net.core.rmem_default 262144

net.core.rmem_max 4194304

net.core.wmem_default 262144

net.core.wmem_max 1048576

Note : Parameter kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 is changed to kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 142

7. Check Domain Name System (DNS) Resolver Parameters , it should be below

options attempts:5
options timeout:15

8. Verifying Host Names

· Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
[ip_address] [node_name].[domain_name] [node_name]

· Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:
HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]
or as follows:

HOSTNAME=[node_name]
NISDOMAIN=[domain_name]

· If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.

· If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system

9. Modify ulimit settings in limits.conf
vi /etc/security/limits.conf

# oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall setting for nofile soft limit is 1024
oracle soft nofile 4096
# oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall setting for nofile hard limit is 65536
oracle hard nofile 65536
# oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall setting for nproc soft limit is 2047
oracle soft nproc 2047
# oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall setting for nproc hard limit is 16384
oracle hard nproc 16384
# oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall setting for stack soft limit is 10240KB
oracle soft stack 10240
# oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall setting for stack hard limit is 32768KB
