Oracle Database 11g install on Centos 7

Problem encountered when installing Oracle 11g on Centos 7

Google suggested this was a fairly common problem with machines with a newer GLIBC. Most of the suggested solutions didn’t work for me (writing a glib memcpy shim etc). Instead I was able to statically link this executable against the glibc archive which didn’t have the problem with the missing memcpy@GLIBC reference.

yum install glibc-static.x86_64

yum install glibc-static.i686

vi /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk

ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)

-static $(LINK_CTXHX) $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK) /usr/lib64/stdc.a

I additionally had to patch the the ins_emagent.mk to link to the libnnz11 library:

vi /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2/sysman/lib/ins_emagent.mk

Search for the line

$(MK_EMAGENT_NMECTL)

Change it to:

$(MK_EMAGENT_NMECTL) -lnnz11

Then press the Retry button and it should install correctly!

OVM 3.3.1 Upgrade

UPDATE 08/06/14

After upgrading, things were not happy. I found many issues stopping, starting, and modifying anything in my new 3.3.1 OVM environment. I ended up migrating all VMs off of the OVM Servers, re-installing my OVM Server with fresh install. Fixed my issues. Still very buggy, i would recommend waiting until this one gets sorted out.

  • Download OVM Server and OVM Manager ISOs from http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux
  • Mount OVM Manager ISO on your OVM Manager Server

Wave of the Future – Windows for Workgroups 3.11

Just because I was feeling nostalgic, I installed MS-DOS 6.22 with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 as a bonus! It really is amazing the amount of steps that used to be required to get a PC running and useful. Had to install CDROM drivers, Memory Management Software, TCPIP Stack, Network Drivers, and Display drivers. Linux and Windows really has come a far way in the last 15 years.
