1. According to GI installation guide for RHEL 6 the kernel version must be 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 or later or if the RHEL 6 kernel is with unbreakable enterprise linux kernel then it must be 2.6.32-100.28.5.el6.x86_64 or later. In this case the kernel version is
uname -r 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_642. Create OS groups and users needed for role separation. Oracle user will own database software and grid user will own the clusterware.
create groups and users groupadd -g 501 oinstall groupadd -g 502 dba groupadd -g 503 oper groupadd -g 505 asmadmin groupadd -g 506 asmdba groupadd -g 507 asmoper useradd -u 501 -g oinstall -G dba,oper,asmdba oracle useradd -u 502 -g oinstall -G asmadmin,asmdba,asmoper,dba gridgrid user should be part of dba group as per metalink note 1084186.1
3. Create user equivalence for both grid user and oracle user.
$ /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/grid/.ssh/id_rsa): Created directory '/home/grid/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/grid/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/grid/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. ... ...4. Create directory structure for clusterware and Oracle base and set with relevant ownership and permission.
# mkdir -p /opt/app/11.2.0/grid # chown grid:oinstall /opt/app/11.2.0/grid # chmod 775 /opt/app/11.2.0/grid oracle base # mkdir -p /opt/app/oracle # chown oracle:oinstall /opt/app/oracle # chmod 775 /opt/app/oracle oraInventory # mkdir -p /opt/app/oraInventory # chown grid:oinstall /opt/app/oraInventory # chmod 775 /opt/app/oraInventory5. Verify pre-req package list is installed. Follow GI installation guide and metalink note Installing Oracle 11gR2 RDBMS on RHEL6 or OL6 64-bit (x86-64) [ID 1441282.1]
6.Set resource limit for both oracle and grid user in /etc/security/limits.conf file
oracle soft nproc 2047 oracle hard nproc 16384 oracle soft nofile 1024 oracle hard nofile 65536 oracle soft stack 10240 oracle hard stack 32768 grid soft nproc 2047 grid hard nproc 16384 grid soft nofile 1024 grid hard nofile 65536 grid soft stack 10240 grid hard stack 327687. Disable x11 forward for grid and oracle user by adding the following to each user's .ssh/config file
Host * ForwardX11 no8. Disable tty on .bashrc for both grid and oracle user
if [ -t 0 ]; then stty intr ^C fiand also set umask value in .bashrc for grid and oracle user
umask 0229. As per metalink note (1089399.1) for RHEL6/OEL6 to get oracleasm libraries it would require a UEL account . For this installation block devices will be used for ASM diskgroups. Setup udev rules for block devices with following ownerships and permissions.
#ASM OCR KERNEL=="sdb[1]", OWNER="grid", GROUP="asmadmin", MODE="660" KERNEL=="sdc[1]", OWNER="grid", GROUP="asmadmin", MODE="660" KERNEL=="sdd[1]", OWNER="grid", GROUP="asmadmin", MODE="660" # ASM DATA KERNEL=="sde[1]", OWNER="grid", GROUP="asmadmin", MODE="660" # ASM FLASH KERNEL=="sdf[1]", OWNER="grid", GROUP="asmadmin", MODE="660"If the permissions are incorrect this will be flagged during OUI pre-req check.
10. Edit the cvu_config file and set CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL6 (more on 1454982.1 and explained here). This will prevent pdksh package check being flagged as failed when running the installer using OUI. Still running the cluster verification will flag this as failed but this could be ignored.

11. Start the clusterware installation.
Since block devices are used for ASM disks set the disk discovery path to block devices.
Set OS group chosen for ASM administration
When CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OEL6 is set the OUI doesn't flag the pdksh but correctly identify the ksh pre-check requirement.

Adding Clusterware entries to upstart
CRS-4402: The CSS daemon was started in exclusive mode but found an active CSS daemon on node rhel6m1, number 1, and is terminating
An active cluster was found during exclusive startup, restarting to join the cluster
Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster ... succeeded
CRS-4402 has been explained on (1212703.1), this is not an error on 11.2.0.313. Once the root.sh scripts have run on all nodes the clusterware installation will continue with running configuration assistants.
This will complete the clusterware installation as grid user. Check post installation configuration with
cluvfy stage -post crsinst -n rhel6m1,rhel6m2and using asmca created additional diskgroup that will be used when RAC DB is created.
14. Edit the cvu_config file in database software installation. Similar to clusterware check the cluvfy will flag pdksh as failed
cluvfy stage -pre dbinst -n rhel6m1,rhel6m2 -fixup -verbose ... ... Check: Package existence for "pdksh" Node Name Available Required Status ------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ ---------- rhel6m2 missing pdksh-5.2.14 failed rhel6m1 missing pdksh-5.2.14 failed Result: Package existence check failed for "pdksh" ... ...But OUI will correctly identify the ksh package requirement.
Apart from this rest of the installation steps are same as in RHEL 5.
Select software only install. Database will be created after the installation using DBCA
Select all nodes part of the cluster
Installation path under Oracle base
OS group for database software management
Summary
Begin installation and execute the root.sh script when prompted.
15. Before beginning database created with dbca set read,write and execute permission for cfgtoollogs for Oracle user.
cd $ORACLE_BASE #chmod 770 cfgtoollogsSelect all nodes the instance will run and complete DB creation.
Continue wizard to complete the remaining steps.
