Note:
While installing the Oracle database on a disk drive separate from the software does provide a performance improvement, for best performance, the Oracle database files should be distributed across three or more disks. The Oracle Database Installation Guide for UNIX Systems describes this more complex and time-consuming type of installation. However, this type of installation is recommended only for experienced users. |

If you do not want to create a separate Oracle datafile directory, you can install the datafiles in a subdirectory of the Oracle base directory (not recommended for production databases). |
/u01
is the mount point directory used for the software and
/u02
is the mount point directory used for the Oracle datafile directory. You must specify the appropriate mount point directories for the file systems on your system.
Note:
In the following procedure, replace /u01 and /u02 with the appropriate mount point directories that you identified in Step 3 previously. |

Note:
The following examples show paths to the runInstaller script on a CD-ROM. If you are installing the software from DVD-ROM, use a command similar to the following: $ / mount_point/db/runInstaller |
Note:
If you have completed the tasks listed previously, you can complete the installation by choosing the default values on most screens. |
Screen | Recommended Action |
---|---|
Welcome | Click Next. |
Specify Inventory Directory and Credentials | Note: This screen appears only during the first installation of Oracle products on a system.
Specify the following information, then click
Next:
Enter the full path of the inventory directory
Verify that the path is similar to the following, where
oracle_base/oraInventory
oracle_base is the value that you specified for the ORACLE_BASE environment variable:
Specify operating system group name
Verify that the group specified is the Oracle Inventory group:
oinstall |
Run orainstRoot.sh | If prompted, run the following script in a separate terminal window as the root user: oracle_base/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh |
Specify File Locations | In the Destination section, verify that the Path value for the Oracle home directory is similar to the following, then click Next: oracle_base/product/10.1.0/db_1 |
Select Installation Type | Select Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition, then click Next. |
Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks | Verify that all of the prerequisite checks succeed, then click Next.
The Installer checks the system to verify that it is configured correctly to run Oracle software. If you have completed all of the pre-installation steps in this guide, all of the checks should pass.
In some circumstances, a check might fail even if you have completed all of the pre-installation steps. For example, you might have installed a later patch that obsoletes one of those listed in this guide.
If a check fails, review the cause of the failure listed for that check on the screen. If possible, rectify the problem and rerun the check. Alternatively, if you are satisfied that your system meets the requirements, you can select the check-box for the failed check to manually verify the requirement.

Specify a name for the database, followed by the domain name of the system:
sales. your_domain.com
The value that you specify, up to the first period, is also used for the
SID value.
Select Database Character Set
