Database Auto Startup in oracle 19c


Follow the Steps below to enable auto startup of DB instance , Listener and PDB's

1. Create dbora file as below with ORACLE_HOME


[root@oraclesrv ~]# cat /etc/init.d/dbora
#! /bin/sh -x
#
# chkconfig: 2345 80 05
# description: start and stop Oracle Database Enterprise Edition on Oracle Linux 5 and 6
#
# In /etc/oratab, change the autostart field from N to Y for any
# databases that you want autostarted.
#
# Create this file as /etc/init.d/dbora and execute:
#  chmod 750 /etc/init.d/dbora
#  chkconfig --add dbora
#  chkconfig dbora on
# Note: Change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the correct Oracle home
# directory for your installation.
# ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/db1
#
# Note: Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the oracle owner
ORACLE=oracle
PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
HOST=`hostname`
PLATFORM=`uname`
export ORACLE_HOME PATH
case $1 in
'status')
       echo -n $"Oracle Process: "
      su $ORACLE -c "ps -ef | grep pmon | grep -v grep; ps -ef | grep -i listener | grep -v grep;" &

Step by step installation of Oracle 19c database on Oracle Linux Virtual box


In this article will perform step by step installation of Oracle 19c single instance database on Oracle Linux 7 operating system hosted on virtual box.

Prior to proceeding with the steps , do refer following link to setup a LAB environment which includes Installation of Oracle Virtual Box on windows and operating system Oracle Linux 7 setup.




Oracle Linux Installation on Virtual Box



Oracle 19c installation steps will include ..


1. Setting up internet network connection from virtual machine

2. Installation of prerequisite oracle 19c

3. Configuring & downloading Oracle 19c home setup

4. Performing oracle 19c installation

5. De-installation / Setup Cleanup



Lets begin ..


1. Setting up internet network connection from virtual machine 

Internet connectivity within virtual host is must to install pre-requisite rpm for oracle 19c database installation as well few ad-hoc dependent rpm's using yum

Verify if NAT is selected for Adpater 1..



Add port forwarding for connecting the virtual machine from outside terminal ..








In windows host make sure wireless network ethernet adapter internet sharing is enabled from below path


Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections





Make sure ONBOOT=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts 





Either reboot the virtual machine or use ifdown & ifup to reflect appropriate nameserver entry in resolv.conf post host entry addition 














ifconfig -a output should look like below ..






2. Installation of prerequisite oracle 19c 


Downlod & install the oracle 19c database preinstall rpm which will create the user, groups and install necessary kernal packages/rpm's required as a prerequisites ..


[root@oraclesrv ~]# yum -y install oracle-database-preinstall-19c
Loaded plugins: langpacks, ulninfo
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package oracle-database-preinstall-19c.









3. Configuring & downloading Oracle 19c home setup 


Create installation directory for oracle home ..


[root@oraclesrv ~]# id oracle
uid=54321(oracle)gid=54321(oinstall)groups=54321(oinstall),54322(dba),54323(oper),54324(backupdba),54325(dgdba),54326(kmdba),54330(racdba)
 
[root@oraclesrv ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/db1

[root@oraclesrv ~]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle/db1

[root@oraclesrv ~]# ls -ld /u01/app/oracle/db1/
drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle oinstall 6 Nov  4 12:22 /u01/app/oracle/db1/



Download oracle home setup and place it into shared location as shown in Oracle Linux Image Setup  ..


Grant permission on shared folder to oracle osuser ..

4. Performing oracle 19c installation 


Create separate disks as /u01 & /data . also add swap space as their should not be any exception to be ignored using this link 


[oracle@oraclesrv /]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/db1
[oracle@oraclesrv db1]$ ./runInstaller







































As a new feature in oracle 19c root password to be supplied to avoid manual execution of post installation scripts


Setup up bash profile for environment variables  ..


[oracle@oraclesrv ~]$ cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile
 # Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc
fi
 
# User specific environment and startup programs
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/db1
export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=LEARN
export ORACLE_SID
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
 export PATH
[oracle@oraclesrv ~]$
[oracle@oraclesrv ~]$ . ./.bash_profile



Try accessing EM express https://<servername>:5500/em 








few commands on pdb to play ..
