Add user Oracle:

/usr/sbin/useradd -u 502 -g oinstall -G dba,oper oracle

Change password for user:

passwd oracle

Add kernel parameters to /etc/sysctl.conf.

 kernel.shmmni = 4096
 kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104
 kernel.shmall = 1073741824
 kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
 fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
 fs.file-max = 6815744
 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

Apply kernel parameters:

/sbin/sysctl -p

Add following lines to set shell limits for user oracle in file /etc/security/limits.conf

 oracle   soft   nproc    131072
 oracle   hard   nproc    131072
 oracle   soft   nofile   131072

Verify your network settings:

 [root@ora-c7 ~]# ping -c 1 O7-unixmen

Create directory structure:

 mkdir -p   /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0
 chown  -R oracle:oinstall /u01/
 chmod  775 /u01/app

Disable selinux  by editing the “/etc/selinux/config” file,

SELINUX=permissive

Install database software

Let’s start with database software installation as oracle user.

su - oracle

Unzip the  database  install files:

unzip linuxamd64_12c_database_1of2.zip
unzip linuxamd64_12c_database_2of2.zip 
[oracle@ora-c7 ~]$ cd  database/
[oracle@ora-c7 database]$ ./runInstaller

During the linking phase, you will see the following error.

    Error in invoking target 'links proc gen_pcscfg procob' of makefile
    '/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/db_1/precomp/lib/ins_precomp.mk'.
    See
    '/u01/app/oraInventory/logs/installActions2014-10-29_09-07-03PM.log'
    for details.

To fix it, do the following:

    rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/lib/stubs/*
    cp $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk.orig

Perform the following modifications:

vi $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk
    # Line 176
    # FROM:
    LINKTTLIBS=$(LLIBCLNTSH) $(ORACLETTLIBS) $(LINKLDLIBS)

    # TO  :
    TG4PWD_LINKLINE= $(LINK) $(OPT) $(TG4PWDMAI) \
            $(LLIBTHREAD) $(LLIBCLNTSH) $(LINKLDLIBS) -lnnz12

Click the “Retry” button.

Now, the installation should continue.
