这里介绍在Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga)下安装ORACLE 11.2.0.1.0的过程，本文仅仅是为了写这样安装指导文档而整理在此。仅供参考！
1：下载对应平台的ORACLE 11g安装介质
安装ORACLE，首先要获取安装介质，大部分情况手头都有相关版本的安装介质。如果你手头没有安装介质，那么可以从下面链接获取对应平台的ORACLE安装介质。
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
强烈建议在安装ORACLE之前，先看一遍Linux Installation Guides 文档，毕竟这是最权威、最全面的资料。这样可以避免你在安装过程中遇到各类奇奇怪怪的问题，下载链接如下所示：
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/nav/portal_11.htm
2：检查硬件配置是否满足要求
2.1：内存大小要求
官方文档中，要求物理内存至少需要1G，推荐2G或以上配置，如果是服务器的话，配置肯定比这个高。查看系统内存配置，可以使用下面命令：
检查物理内存
[root@DB-Server ~]# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 3968144 kB
[root@DB-Server ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3875 710 3164 0 85 317
-/+ buffers/cache: 307 3567
Swap: 5887 0 5887
[root@DB-Server ~]#
Note: On Linux, the HugePages feature allocates non-swappable memory for large page tables using memory-mapped files. If you enable HugePages, then you should deduct the memory allocated to HugePages from the available RAM before calculating swap space
Linux Swap大小要求（这是一个指导值，最好根据Linux版本供应商的文档设置。如果不太清楚这些，尽量按照下面要求设置）
检查交换空间（Swap）大小（free命令亦可）
[root@DB-Server ~]# grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo
SwapTotal: 6029304 kB
Automatic Memory Management
从Oracle Database 11g开始，自动内存管理（Automatic Memory Management）要求更多的共享内存（/dev/shm）和文件描述符（file descriptors），共享内存的大小应该只是比MEMROY_MAX_TARGET 和MEMROY_TARGET大。
查看共享内存大小
[root@DB-Server ~]# df -h /dev/shm
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 1.9G 927M 1012M 48% /dev/shm
[root@DB-Server ~]#
Starting with Oracle Database 11g, the Automatic Memory Management feature requires more shared memory (/dev/shm)and file descriptors. The size of the shared memory must be at least the greater of the MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and MEMORY_TARGET parameters for each Oracle instance on the computer. If the MEMORY_MAX_TARGET parameter or the MEMORY_TARGET parameter is set to a nonzero value, and an incorrect size is assigned to the shared memory, it results in an ORA-00845 error at startup. On Linux systems, if the operating system /dev/shm mount size is too small for the Oracle system global area (SGA) and program global area (PGA), it results in an ORA-00845 error.
The number of file descriptors for each Oracle instance must be at least 512*PROCESSES. The limit of descriptors for each process must be at least 512. If file descriptors are not sized correctly, you see an ORA-27123 error from various Oracle processes and potentially Linux Error EMFILE (Too many open files)in non-Oracle processes.
注意：MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and MEMORY_TARGET cannot be used when LOCK_SGA is enabled or with HugePages on Linux.
2.2：系统架构要求
检查系统架构是否符合软件安装要求。如果是x86的架构，肯定不能运行64位的ORACLE软件。检查系统架构使用下面命令：
[root@DB-Server ~]# uname -m
x86_64
2.3：磁盘空间要求
At least 1 GB of disk space in the /tmp directory
检查/tmp目录大小
#df -h /tmp
检查磁盘空间：
#df –h
3：Checking the Software Requirements

3.5 其它软件要求（Additional Software Requirements)
这部分建立参考安装文档（里面内容较详细，有些是特殊要求），这里仅仅涉及Oracle ODBC相关驱动。
在 Oracle Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and Asianux Server 3中，需要下面3个包的版本

[root@DB-Server Server]#
4 Configuring Kernel Parameters and Resource Limits
在修改内核参数前，我们先检查、查看这些内核参数的配置值
[root@DB-Server ~]# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep sem
kernel.sem = 250 32000 32 128
[root@DB-Server ~]# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep shm
vm.hugetlb_shm_group = 0
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 4294967296
kernel.shmmax = 68719476736
[root@DB-Server ~]# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep file-max
fs.file-max = 358778
[root@DB-Server ~]# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep ip_local_port_range
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 32768 61000
[root@DB-Server ~]# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep rmem_default
net.core.rmem_default = 129024
[root@DB-Server ~]# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep rmem_max
net.core.rmem_max = 131071
[root@DB-Server ~]# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep wmem_default
net.core.wmem_default = 129024
[root@DB-Server ~]# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep wmem_max
net.core.wmem_max = 131071
[root@DB-Server ~]#
官方文档关于内核参数的推荐值如下截图所示，如果系统里面的配置大于这个值，那么就使用默认的值，不需要修改该参数值。
注意：If the current value of any parameter is higher than the value listed in this table, then do not change the value of that parameter.
在 /etc/sysctl.conf中添加如下参数的设置值，如果这一步设置有误，也没有关系，后面安装过程会检测系统参数，提示参数设置有误，不能通过。需要你重新配置。
fs.file-max = 6815744
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
设置完成后执行/sbin/sysctl -p 使之理解生效，从而不用重启系统。Oracle 11g新增了fixup脚本，在安装过程中，安装程序将会检查推荐的操作系统内核参数设置以及必须的软件包，对于不符合要求的部分将会自动生成runfixup.sh，只需要手动以root用户执行该脚本即可，不需要手动调整配置了。所以这一块即使一些内核参数配置不正确，也可以在后面环境快速处理、验证。
5：创建系统账号和用户组
一般要检查是否存在oracle以及dba、oinstall用户组，如果是新环境，可以直接跳过，如果以前安装过Oracle数据库，那么就必须检查一下。
[root@DB-Server ~]# more /etc/oraInst.loc
/etc/oraInst.loc: No such file or directory
[root@DB-Server ~]# grep oinstall /etc/group
[root@DB-Server ~]# grep dba /etc/group
[root@DB-Server ~]#
创建用户组dba、oinstall
# /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
# /usr/sbin/groupadd dba
创建用户oracle
[root@DB-Server ~]# id oracle
id: oracle: No such user
[root@DB-Server ~]# /usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
[root@DB-Server ~]# id oracle
uid=500(oracle) gid=500(oinstall) groups=500(oinstall),501(dba) context=root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh
[root@DB-Server ~]#
设置账号密码：
[root@DB-Server ~]# passwd oracle
Changing password for user oracle.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is too simplistic/systematic
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@DB-Server ~]#
6：修改用户资源限制
[root@DB-Server ~]# ulimit -Sn
1024
[root@DB-Server ~]# ulimit -Hn
1024
[root@DB-Server ~]# ulimit -Su
36848
[root@DB-Server ~]# ulimit -Hu
36848
[root@DB-Server ~]# ulimit -Ss
10240
[root@DB-Server ~]# ulimit -Hs
unlimited
[root@DB-Server ~]#
在配置文件/etc/security/limits.conf 里面设置
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
修改用户验证选项
在/etc/pam.d/login配置文件里面加上下面配置，如果已经存在的，就忽略这些。
session required pam_selinux.so
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
root用户下：修改/etc/profile文件加入如下参数
if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
fi
或是在oracle用户下，修改.bash_profile
if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
fi
8：安装目录配置
[root@DB-Server ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
[root@DB-Server ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
[root@DB-Server ~]# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
[root@DB-Server ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory
[root@DB-Server ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oraInventory/
[root@DB-Server ~]# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oraInventory/
[root@DB-Server ~]#
以oracle账号登录，修改.bash_profile参数文件
[oracle@DB-Server ~]$ vi .bash_profile
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.1.0/dbhome_1
export ORACLE_SID=gsp
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin
10：配置VNC
[root@DB-Server ~]# rpm -qa | grep vnc
vnc-server-4.1.2-14.el5_6.6
[root@DB-Server ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
VNCSERVERS="1:root"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800x600 -nolisten tcp -nohttpd -localhost"
VNCSERVERS="2:oracle"
VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800x600 -nolisten tcp -nohttpd -localhost"
[root@DB-Server ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@DB-Server ~]$ vncserver :2
You will require a password to access your desktops.
Password:
Verify:
xauth: creating new authority file /home/oracle/.Xauthority
xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "DB-Server.localdomain:2" in "add" command
New 'DB-Server.localdomain:2 (oracle)' desktop is DB-Server.localdomain:2
Creating default startup script /home/oracle/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /home/oracle/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/oracle/.vnc/DB-Server.localdomain:2.log
在root用户下，设置iptables，添加
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5901 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5902 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 1521 -j ACCEPT
ORACLE 11g图形化安装步骤
将安装介质解压到/tmp/database下，然后按照下面步骤安装
$ ./runInstaller
如果没有Oracle Support账号或不想设置，取消勾选选项。
勾选Server Class
我们勾选“Advanced install”
此处设置字符集，SGA Target等。
Qwe123456
[root@DB-Server Server]# /u01/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh
Changing permissions of /u01/oraInventory.

至此安装完成，然后测试验证，必要的话，关闭VNC服务，修改iptables设置。
