Perform the following command to install Oracle database 19.3.0.0 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system 8.5 in virtual machine:
oracle@dbhost1 dbhome_1]$ export CV_ASSUME_DISTID=OL7
[oracle@dbhost1 dbhome_1]$ ./runInstaller &
Select software only.
Use the installer UI steps to complete the installation.
Use the following steps to upgrade Oracle Database to 19.15.0.0:
[oracle@obpvm4 patches]$cd /home/oracle/patches/33806152
[oracle@obpvm4 33806152]$ opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -ph ./
[oracle@obpvm4 33806152]$$ opatch apply
Before creating a test database, we created four disk groups for DATA, REDO, FRA, and TEMP for the datafiles, REDO logs files, FRA/archive logs files and Temp files for the HammerDB test database.
Table 13 shows the volume mapping of ASM disk groups: DATA, REDO, FRA, and TEMP. For the baseline configuration, we included one volume for each of the DATA, REDO, and FRA disk groups.
Volume Group | Volume Name | VMware Datastore | Volume size (GB) | ASM device name | Diskgroup |
orabp22-vm1-os | orabp22-vm1-os | orabp22-vm1-os-ds | 400 | NA | NA |
orabp22-vm1-db1 | orabp22-vm1-db1-data-001 | orabp22-vm1-data-001-ds | 1000 | /dev/oraudev/disks/ora-data1 | DATA |
orabp22-vm1-db1-redo-001 | orabp22-vm1-redo-001-ds | 55 | /dev/oraudev/disks/ora-redo1 | REDO | |
orabp22-vm1-db1-fra-001 | orabp22-vm1-fra-001-ds | 60 | /dev/oraudev/disks/ora-fra1 | FRA | |
orabp22-vm1-temp | orabp22-vm1-db1-temp | orabp22-vm1-temp-ds | 500 | /dev/oraudev/disks/ora-temp1 | TEMP |
To create these ASM disk groups, log in as the grid user and run the following asmca command:
$ asmca
Select the proper DISK Path for each disk group, as shown in Figure 11. After creating these disk groups, all disk groups should appear as shown in the following display:
