Ideal Server Installation

smartyshan · 01-23-2010, 05:51 AM

Dear Gents, (oppss!!! MAY BE LADIES also):$

Good day,

Last month I passed ITIL V3 Certification,
Since then I feel a sudden change in me, and now I tried to document all the steps of Installations/Configuration/troubleshooting etc etc

Here I want to Install RHEL 4 and 5 for oracle Apps and Database

So I am going to prepare the document for it.

Is there any one guides my to the proper/Ideal Installation?

Because for Non-Linux people it’s normal to install everything even GAMES and Scientific calculator on production APPs server

Any help/Ideas will be appreciated

And any one wants to share or do something with me is most welcome

Hi,

For Linux you can use the "Server" selection during installation of RHEL, also add development tools and libraries, which are required for linking the executables.

For Oracle database servers there exists OFS (Oracle flexible standard), this describes directory and mountpoint layouts. The documents for OFS can be found on Oracle website. Also there are best practices documents for disk layout and other things.

Also take a look at Puschitz website, there are plenty of installation descriptions for different Oracle database versions on different RHEL version.
