Overview
Because I was having hard-disk problems with my Toshiba lap-top where I had originally installed CRONULLA , I am doing a new installation to 12.1.0.4, and patch it to 12.1.0.4.3.

Procedure
Create VM
On VICTORIA , I created the following directory:
mkdir -p /OVS/running_pool/CRONULLA
I am planning to do a simple installation with BI Publisher, and reuse the repository in REPOS on GRIDCTRL .
Followed the advice given in 2.1 CPU, RAM, Heap Size, and Hard Disk Space Requirements for Oracle Management Service , I created a disk as follows with an extra 32GB of disk space because I found that 18GB was insufficient:
cd /OVS/running_pool/CRONULLA dd if=/dev/zero of=root_disk bs=1G count=50
Based on those recommendations, I created the following the XEN configuration file as /OVS/running_pool/CRONULLA/cronulla.hvm :
# =====================================================================
# HVM guest configuration for CRONULLA
# Generated 2015-05-31 16:00:00
# =====================================================================
#
# This is a fairly minimal example of what is required for an
# HVM guest. For a more complete guide see xl.cfg(5)
# This configures an HVM rather than PV guest
builder = "hvm"
# Guest name
name = "cronulla"
# 128-bit UUID for the domain as a hexadecimal number.
# Use "uuidgen" to generate one if required.
uuid = "710b738c-98fd-4105-9776-3cd84673a7f4"
# Initial memory allocation (MB)
memory = 6144
# Number of VCPUS
vcpus = 2
# Network devices
# A list of 'vifspec' entries as described in
# docs/misc/xl-network-configuration.markdown
vif = [
'mac=00:16:3E:00:00:17,bridge=xenbr0'
]
# Disk Devices
# A list of 'diskspec' entries as described in
# docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt
disk = [
'/OVS/running_pool/CRONULLA/root_disk,raw,xvda,rw',
'/OVS/iso_pool/V41362-01.iso,raw,xvdc,ro,cdrom'
]
# Guest VGA console configuration, either SDL or VNC
vnc = 1
vnclisten = "0.0.0.0"
vncdisplay = "6"
Loaded OEL6u5 with a web server software installation and set up networking. The optional packages installed were X Window System under Desktops .
Download Software
Downloaded the following software:
- em12104_linux64_disk1.zip
- em12104_linux64_disk2.zip
- em12104_linux64_disk3.zip
- p20188140_121040_Generic.zip
- p6880880_111000_Linux-x86-64.zip
These files were then transferred to CRONULLA into the /tmp directory.
Package, Kernel Parameter, and Library Requirements
According to 3 Meeting Package, Kernel Parameter, and Library Requirements for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control , OEL6 is supported for OEM 12.1.0.4.
Create OS Group and User
Following the procedure in 4 Creating Operating System Groups and Users for Enterprise Manager Cloud Control , I ran the following commands:
/usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall /usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall -G wheel oracle passwd oracle
The group,
wheel
, allows
sudo
access after
visudo
is used to update
/etc/sudoers.
Create Installation Directories
As root , I ran the following commands to create the installation directories:
mkdir -p /opt/app/oracle/Middleware/12.1.0.4 chown -R oracle:oinstall /opt/app/oracle
As oracle , I ran the following commands to create the installation directories:
mkdir -p /opt/app/oracle/software/12.1.0.4
Unpack Software
As oracle , I ran the following commands to create the installation directories:
unzip -qo /tmp/em12104_linux64_disk1.zip -d /opt/app/oracle/software/12.1.0.4 unzip -qo /tmp/em12104_linux64_disk2.zip -d /opt/app/oracle/software/12.1.0.4 unzip -qo /tmp/em12104_linux64_disk3.zip -d /opt/app/oracle/software/12.1.0.4 unzip -qo /tmp/p20188140_121040_Generic.zip -d /opt/app/oracle/software
