Mine decision was to create solid base installation foundation for incoming 11.2/12.1 upgrades using ASM. So I decide to built 11.1.0.7 version, in which I have to made some upgrade steps as well. So this is how this post has been born.
Beside that, I wanted to show all important run-time installation information, which are in many cases not shown in other blog posts.
Download VMware image
For starting point I downloaded ready made image from page, where I choose CentOS 5.9x 64 server installation. Of course I could choose OEL 5, but with OEL whole Oracle works out of the box without slightest problems, so I wanted to sharpen some expected skills in non Oracle based OS, like CentOS is a good example.Change default image settings
When you initially open ready made VMware image, it has DHCP setting, which is not suitable for real work. So changing IP address to static IP with new server name is something that has to be done.First step is to check VMware image Network settings.
In mine case image has NAT based defined network.
"Edit | Virtual Network Editor", and then select VMnet8 adapter.
In mine case it was 192.168.254.x range.
In mine case I'll use 192.168.254.132, so setting lower value to 134 will be OK.
I'll show GUI approach which could be run either from putty or VMware terminal directly.
Enter, Enter and define as shown:
Edit DNS Configuration
Change hostname (centos5x64.localdomain)

Now it's time start your session in putty.

This is not enough but later we'll disable firewall settings.
Swap and temp
If you have original CentOS installation then both of those settings are perfect for initial amount of memory. However, changing their size should be followed by changing swap size.grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo
[root@centos5x64 ~]# grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo SwapTotal: 2064376 kB [root@centos5x64 ~]#According Oracle:
Available RAM Swap Space Required --------------------------- ----------------- Between 1024 MB and 2048 MB 1.5 times the size of RAM Between 2049 MB and 8192 MB Equal to the size of RAM More than 8192 MB 0.75 times the size of RAM2 GB swap on mine 4 GB RAM VMware is more than enough for play. And check temp space size
df -h /dev/shm
[root@centos5x64 ~]# df -h /dev/shm Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /dev/shm [root@centos5x64 ~]#

[root@centos5x64 ~]# /usr/sbin/getenforce Enforcing [root@centos5x64 ~]# /usr/sbin/setenforce 0 [root@centos5x64 ~]# /usr/sbin/getenforce PermissiveTo make permanent, modify the /etc/sysconfig/selinux change value of SELINUX variable to disabled:
[root@centos5x64 ~]# cp -p /etc/sysconfig/selinux /etc/sysconfig/selinux_org [root@centos5x64 ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux [root@centos5x64 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - SELinux is fully disabled. SELINUX=disabled # SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are: # targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected. # strict - Full SELinux protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted # SETLOCALDEFS= Check local definition changes SETLOCALDEFS=0
Disable firewall
For testing disable firewall. Next commands will disable whole firewall (IPv and IPv6).service iptables save service iptables stop chkconfig iptables off service ip6tables save service ip6tables stop chkconfig ip6tables off
[root@centos5x64 ~]# service iptables save Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables: [ OK ] [root@centos5x64 ~]# service iptables stop Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ] Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ] [root@centos5x64 ~]# chkconfig iptables off [root@centos5x64 ~]# service ip6tables save Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables: [ OK ] [root@centos5x64 ~]# service ip6tables stop Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ] Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ] Unloading ip6tables modules: [ OK ] [root@centos5x64 ~]# chkconfig ip6tables off [root@centos5x64 ~]#Do not forget that SELinux settings may become active after server reboot while firewall is inactive immediately.

As you see, beauty of new VNC package is that WEB based connection is possible. This is why I love them regardless many security "issues" that this package may arise (issues which are not confirmed in praxis but people just do not like that package-and nothing more).

This kind of clients X method is officially supported by Oracle, example for Oracle® Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Basic Installation Guide. For others who desn't have Cygwin, you may use vnc-server free solution, server side solution, which is described hereHowever it is not needed, I'd like to install several packages, which will help me testing remote X client.

Adding additional disks
Beside one disk that come with original CentOS image, I'd add two additional disks:- 40 GB disk for ASM (iSCSI on AsmLib)
- 80 GB disk for Oracle software (mount point /u01)
shutdown -h nowBefore continuing, be aware to remove all snapshots, if they exists
Add disks trough "Edit Virtual Machine Settings"
- Add|Hard Disk|Add|Hard Disk|SCSI|Create a new virtual disk| size 80 GB (Split virtual disk into multiple files) "centos-5.x-x86_64-server-asm-disk1.vmdk"
- Add|Hard Disk|Add|Hard Disk|SCSI|Create a new virtual disk| size 40 GB (Split virtual disk into multiple files) "centos-5.x-x86_64-server-u01.vmdk"
vmx file editing
Some settings has to be done by directly by editing .vmx file (VMware definition):... scsi1.present = "TRUE" scsi1.virtualDev = "lsilogic" scsi1:0.present = "TRUE" scsi1:0.fileName = "centos-5.x-x86_64-server-asm-disk1.vmdk" scsi0:1.present = "TRUE" scsi0:1.fileName = "centos-5.x-x86_64-server-u01.vmdk" ...As you see, scsi1:0.fileName = "centos-5.9-x86_64-server-asm-disk1.vmdk" and that will represent sdc. For that disk we need to add next lines in .vmx file:
#directive is needed to allow VMware Workstation to provide unique SCSI identifiers to Linux. disk.locking = "FALSE" diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = "0" diskLib.dataCacheMaxReadAheadSize = "0" diskLib.dataCacheMinReadAheadSize = "0" diskLib.dataCachePageSize = "4096" diskLib.maxUnsyncedWrites = "0" scsi1.sharedBus = "virtual" disk.EnabledUUID = "TRUE" # end directiveSave file.
Rename VMware.log to VMware.log_org, so you can easily find errors or potential problems.
Start VM and watch in console for some errors (if any). Examine VMware.log. It is not a bad idea to rebuild VMware tools.
If you get on boot time message like Clustering is not supported for WMware Workstation – this setting will be ignored, don’t worry about this. This is expected behavior.

AsmLib
AsmLib is the easiest way to implement ASM supported database. Keep in mind that with RHEL 5.x, Oracle is providing a full support for ASM disks through AsmLib. With RHEL 6.x this is no longer available so other methods must be applied (ASM is still supported only on OEL 6.x!). This is why I love to stay on CentOS 5x version as far as I can (not to mention other new "features" like huge pages in 6 version which work differently than in 5 version).Drivers may be downloaded from link. Here you choose OS and kernel version (uname -r). For mine case (2.6.18-371.4.1.el5) I needed to download next three files in group "Intel EM64T (x86_64) Architecture", which were in time of writing this:
