  1. Preparing the Database Environment

  2. Objectives • After completing this lesson, you should be able to: • Describe your role as a database administrator (DBA) and explain typical tasks and tools • Plan an Oracle Database installation • Use Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) • Install the Oracle software by usingOracle Universal Installer (OUI)

  3. Tasks of an Oracle Database Administrator • The approach for designing, implementing, and maintaining an Oracle database involves the following tasks: • Evaluating the database server hardware • Installing the Oracle software • Planning the database and security strategy • Creating, migrating, and opening the database • Backing up the database • Enrolling system users and planning for their Oracle Network access • Implementing the database design • Recovering from database failure • Monitoring database performance

  4. Tools for Administeringan Oracle Database • Oracle Universal Installer • Database Configuration Assistant • Database Upgrade Assistant • Oracle Net Manager • Oracle Enterprise Manager • SQL*Plus • Recovery Manager • Oracle Secure Backup • Data Pump • SQL*Loader

  5. Installation: System Requirements • Memory requirements: • 1 GB for the instance with Database Control • Disk space requirements: • 1.5 GB of swap space • 400 MB of disk space in the /tmp directory • Between 1.5 GB and 3.5 GB for the Oracle software • 1.2 GB for the preconfigured database (optional) • 2.4 GB for the flash recoveryarea (optional) • Operating system (seedocumentation)

  6. Checking the System Requirements • Adequatetemporary space • 64-bit versus 32-bit issues • Correct operating system (OS)  • OS patch level • System packages • System and kernel parameters • X Server permissions • Sufficient swapping • Nonempty ORACLE_HOME

  7. Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) • OFA is designed to: • Organize large amounts of software • Facilitate routine administrative tasks • Facilitate switching between multiple Oracle databases • Manage and administer database growth

  8. Optimal Flexible Architecture:Naming Scheme • Mount points: • /u01 • /disk01 • Directories: • /u01/app/oracle • /u01/app/applmgr • Files: • Control files: controln.ctl • Redo log files: redon.log • Data files: tn.dbf

  9. Setting Environment Variables • ORACLE_BASE: Base of the Oracle directory structure for OFA • ORACLE_HOME: Directory containing the Oracle software • ORACLE_SID: Initial instance name (default: ORCL) • NLS_LANG: Language, territory, and client character set settings

  10. Oracle Universal Installer (OUI)

  11. Installing the Oracle Software

  12. Database Configuration Options

  13. Executing Configuration Scripts

  14. Advanced Installation Options • Database storage options: • File system • Automatic Storage Management • Raw devices • Database management options: • Enterprise Manager Grid Control • Enterprise Manager Database Control • Database backup and recovery options • Email notification options • Oracle Portable Clusterware • Cloning

  15. Installation Option: Silent Mode • To install and configure Oracle products with OUI in silent mode, perform the following steps: • Create the oraInst.loc file (if it does not already exist). • Prepare a response file based on file templates that are delivered with the Oracle software. • Record a response file:.runInstaller –record -destinationFile <filename> • Run OUI in silent or suppressed mode. • If required, run NetCA and the DBCA in silent mode.

  16. Summary • In this lesson, you should have learned how to: • Describe your role as a DBA and explain tasks and tools • Plan your installation, starting with the appropriate documentation • Perform preinstallation tasks, such as checking system requirements • Install the Oracle software by using OUI

  17. Practice 2 Overview: Preparing the Database Environment • This practice covers installing the Oracle software by using Oracle Universal Installer. • Note: Completing this practice is critical for all subsequent practices.
