LDAP package

If you did not perform a default Linux installation, you intend to use LDAP, and you want to use the scripts odisrvreg, oidca, or schemasync, then install the Korn shell RPM for your Linux distribution.

Pro*C/C++, Oracle Call Interface, Oracle C++ Call Interface, Oracle XML Developer's Kit (XDK)

Intel C/C++ Compiler 10.1 or later and the version of GNU C and C++ compilers listed previously for the distribution are supported for use with these products.

Note: Intel C/C++ Compiler v10.1 can be used only with the standard template libraries in the supported gcc versions to build Oracle C++ Call Interface (OCCI) applications.

Oracle XML Developer's Kit is supported with the same compilers as OCCI.

Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux (Linux PAM)

Install the latest Linux PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux) library for your Linux distribution. PAM provides greater flexibility for system administrators to choose how applications authenticate users. On Linux, external scheduler jobs require PAM.

Oracle ODBC Drivers

If you intend to use Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), then you should install the most recent ODBC Driver Manager for Linux.

You should obtain the most current ODBC driver from your operating system vendor. You can read about ODBC at the following URL:

unixODBC

unixODBC-2.2.11 (32 bit) or later

unixODBC-devel-2.2.11 (32 bit) or later

unixODBC-2.2.11 (32 bit) or later

unixODBC-devel-2.2.11 (32 bit) or later

Oracle JDBC/OCI Drivers

You can use the following optional JDK version with the Oracle JDBC/OCI drivers; however, it is not required for the installation:

• JDK 6 Update 10 (Java SE Development Kit 1.6.0_21)
• JDK 1.5.0-24 (JDK 5.0) with the JNDI extension

Note: By default, JDK 1.5 is installed with this release.

Oracle Real Application Clusters

For a cluster file system, use the following option:

OCFS2

• Version 1.2.9 or later

To check your OCFS version, enter the following command:

modinfo ocfs2

To check the version of OCFS2 tools and OCFS2 console, enter the following command:

rpm -qa| grep ocfs2

Ensure that ocfs2console and ocfs2-tools are at least version 1.2.7

For information about OCFS2, refer to the following Web site:

configure

Use the configure option to reconfigure the Oracle Automatic Storage Management library driver, if necessary:

# /usr/sbin/oracleasm configure -i

To see command options, enter oracleasm configure without the -i flag.

enable

disable

Use the disable and enable options to change the actions of the Oracle Automatic Storage Management library driver when the system starts. The enable option causes the Oracle Automatic Storage Management library driver to load when the system starts:

# /usr/sbin/oracleasm enable

start

stop

restart

Use the start, stop, and restart options to load or unload the Oracle Automatic Storage Management library driver without restarting the system:

# /usr/sbin/oracleasm restart

createdisk

Use the createdisk option to mark a disk device for use with the Oracle Automatic Storage Management library driver and give it a name:

# /usr/sbin/oracleasm createdisk DISKNAME devicename

deletedisk

Use the deletedisk option to unmark a named disk device:

# /usr/sbin/oracleasm deletedisk DISKNAME

Caution: Do not use this command to unmark disks that are being used by an Oracle Automatic Storage Management disk group. You must delete the disk from the Oracle Automatic Storage Management disk group before you unmark it.

querydisk

Use the querydisk option to determine if a disk device or disk name is being used by the Oracle Automatic Storage Management library driver:

# /usr/sbin/oracleasm querydisk {DISKNAME | devicename}

listdisks

Use the listdisks option to list the disk names of marked Oracle Automatic Storage Management library driver disks:

# /usr/sbin/oracleasm listdisks

scandisks

Use the scandisks option to enable cluster nodes to identify which shared disks have been marked as Oracle Automatic Storage Management library driver disks on another node:

# /usr/sbin/oracleasm scandisks
