You should now have a single directory called "database" containing installation files. Hosts File The "/etc/hosts"
file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
<IP-address>

<fully-qualified-machine-name>

<machine-name>

Set Kernel Parameters Oracle recommend the following minimum parameter settings.
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048586

The current values can be tested using the following command.

/sbin/sysctl -a | grep <param-name>

Add or amend the following lines in the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file.

fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default=262144
net.core.rmem_max=4194304
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_max=1048586

Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters.

pam_limits.so

Start the Firewall administration dialog (System > Administration > Firewall). Click the "Disable" button followed
by the apply button on the toolbar, then close the dialog.
Disable secure linux by editing the /etc/selinux/config file, making sure the SELINUX flag is set as follows.
SELINUX=disabled

Alternatively, this alteration can be done using the GUI tool (Applications > System Settings > Security Level).
Click on the SELinux tab and disable the feature. If SELinux is disabled after installation, the server will need a
reboot for the change to take effect. Setup If you have installed the suggested package groups during the
installation, the majority of the necessary packages will already be installed. The following packages are listed as
required, including the 32-bit version of some of the packages.
yum install binutils compat-libstdc++-33 compat-libstdc++-33.i686

elfutils-libelf elfutils-l

Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01
