Configure linux for oracle
Use Oracle Database Preinstallation RPM to simplify operating system configuration, and to ensure that you have required kernel packages.
Oracle recommends that you install Oracle Linux and use Oracle Database Preinstallation RPM to configure your operating systems for Oracle Database and Oracle Grid Infrastructure installations.
Configure Oracle Database Preinstallation RPM only once on your operating system when you install Oracle Database or Oracle Grid Infrastructure for the first time on your system. For subsequent installations on the same system, do not install Oracle Database Preinstallation RPM again.
Do not install Oracle Database Preinstallation RPM on Oracle Engineered Systems, such as Oracle Exadata Database Machine. Oracle Engineered Systems include integrated system software that contain the required version of the operating system kernel and all software packages.
The Oracle Database Preinstallation RPM for your Oracle Linux distributions and database release automatically installs any additional packages needed for installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database, and configures your server operating system automatically, including setting kernel parameters and other basic operating system requirements for installation. For more information about Oracle Linux and Oracle Database Preinstallation RPM, refer to:
Configuring a server using Oracle Linux and the Oracle Database Preinstallation RPM consists of the following steps:
- Install Oracle Linux.
- Register your Linux distribution with Oracle Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) or download and configure the yum repository for your system using the Oracle Linux yum server for your Oracle Linux release.
- Install the Oracle Database Preinstallation RPM with the RPM for your Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database releases, and update your Linux release.
- Create role-allocated groups and users with identical names and ID numbers.
- Complete network interface configuration for each cluster node candidate.
- Complete system configuration for shared storage access as required for each standard or core node cluster candidate.
After these steps are complete, you can proceed to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database.

4 Configuring Operating Systems for Oracle Database on Linux
Complete operating system configuration requirements and checks for Linux operating systems before you start installation.
You must meet the minimum requirements such as the operating system distribution, packages, and other software requirements for this release before you start an Oracle Database or Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation.
- Guidelines for Linux Operating System Installation
Operating system guidelines to be aware of before proceeding with an Oracle installation. - Reviewing Operating System and Software Upgrade Best Practices
These topics provide general planning guidelines and platform-specific information about upgrades and migration. - Reviewing Operating System Security Common Practices
Secure operating systems are an important basis for general system security. - About Installation Fixup Scripts
Oracle Universal Installer detects when the minimum requirements for an installation are not met, and creates shell scripts, called fixup scripts, to finish incomplete system configuration steps. - About Operating System Requirements
Depending on the products that you intend to install, verify that you have the required operating system kernel and packages installed. - Operating System Requirements for x86-64 Linux Platforms
The Linux distributions and packages listed in this section are supported for this release on x86-64. - Additional Drivers and Software Packages for Linux

Oracle recommends that you set the clock source to tsc for better performance in virtual environments (VM) on Linux x86-64. - Installing the cvuqdisk RPM for Linux
If you do not use an Oracle Database Preinstallation RPM, and you want to use the Cluster Verification Utility, then you must install the cvuqdisk RPM. - Confirming Host Name Resolution
Check to ensure that the host name for your server is resolvable. - Disabling Transparent HugePages
Oracle recommends that you disable Transparent HugePages before you start installation. - Using Automatic SSH Configuration During Installation
To install Oracle software, configure secure shell (SSH) connectivity between all cluster member nodes. - Verifying the Disk I/O Scheduler on Linux
For best performance for Oracle ASM, Oracle recommends that you use the Deadline I/O Scheduler.
