Creating users/groups

# groupadd oinstall
# groupadd dba  
groupadd oper
# useradd -m -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# passwd oracle

I also used this command ,

/usr/sbin/usermod -g oinstall -G dba,root,oper -s /bin/ksh oracle

Add the following lines to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:

kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 6553600
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_max = 262144

then execure this line
/sbin/sysctl -p

shell limits for user oracle

As root, edit file /etc/security/ limits.conf and insert some text before # End of
file oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384

Verify file /etc/pam.d/system-auth to check the existing of two following lines: session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
session required pam_limits.so

OPTIONAL OPTIONAL …OPTIONAL STEP,

I did not do this

environment for oracle

ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_SID=orcl PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH CLASSPATH

OPTIONAL OPTIONAL …OPTIONAL STEP, I did not do this

# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/j2ee_10_1_2

# chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01

copy all of 4 Disk in /home/oracle

chown oracle:dba Disk1 -R
chown oracle:dba Disk2 -R
chown oracle:dba Disk3 -R
chown oracle:dba Disk4 -R
  
chmod 776 Disk1 -R  
chmod 776 Disk2 -R  
chmod 776 Disk3 -R  
chmod 776 Disk4 -R

change /etc/redhat-release

remove all lines and add the following
