OBIEE 11g Installation on Linux 64 Bit (OEL)

This blog is to provide the overall installation of OBIEE 11g on Linux 64 Bit OS (OEL)

Environment:
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 . 5 (64 Bit)

Pre-requisites:

1. Oracle Database (11.2.0.1) 64 Bit
2. Repository Creation Utility (RCU) which is available for 32 bit only. We need to use the same for 64 Bit also.
3. java 1.6.0_30 for Linux 64 Bit
4. Weblogic 10.3.5 (Minimal version) for 64 Bit.
5. OBIEE 11g 11.1.1.6.0 (64 Bit)

Installation of Oracle Database 11.2.0.1 (64 Bit)

Create necessary user and group (oracle:dba)

Edit the /etc/hosts file to make the entries like

(IP) (machinename.domain.name) (Machine Name)

your entry should be like:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xyz.abc.com xyz

as root user: edit /etc/sysctl.conf

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

Type /sbin/sysctl -p to make the system ready with the configuration.

If necessary, update the resource limits in the /etc/security/limits.conf configuration file for the installation owner. For example, add the following lines to the /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

Reboot is required once this part is completed.

The installation of Database 11.2.0.1 will be discussed here with proper screenshots..
