yum install -y oracle-database-preinstall-18c yum install oracleasmlib yum install oracleasm-support

*** Create the disks using oracleasm ***

• Configure oracleasm

# oracleasm configure -i

• load oracleasm module

# oracleasm init

• Create the disk for ASM diskgroup

# oracleasm createdisk asmvol001 /dev/sdb1 # oracleasm createdisk asmvol002 /dev/sdc1

*** Create the disks using udev ***

• Obtain the Serial Numbers of the SCSI disk devices

# udevadm info --query=all --path=/sys/block/sdb | grep ID_SERIAL
 E: ID_SERIAL=VBOX_HARDDISK_VB699f3fca-4ea7d16b
 E: ID_SERIAL_SHORT=VB699f3fca-4ea7d16b

# udevadm info --query=all --path=/sys/block/sdc | grep ID_SERIAL
 E: ID_SERIAL=VBOX_HARDDISK_VB29b82c85-78d7b697
 E: ID_SERIAL_SHORT=VB29b82c85-78d7b697
 

• Create or update the UDEV configuration file "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracleasm.rules"

# ====== DATADG DiskGroup ====== KERNEL=="sd*",ENV{DEVTYPE}=="partition",ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="VBOX_HARDDISK_VB699f3fca-4ea7d16b",SYMLINK+="oracleasm/asmvol001",OWNER="oracle",GROUP="dba",MODE="0660" KERNEL=="sd*",ENV{DEVTYPE}=="partition",ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="VBOX_HARDDISK_VB29b82c85-78d7b697",SYMLINK+="oracleasm/asmvol002",OWNER="oracle",GROUP="dba",MODE="0660"

• Restart the udev service and verify device permissions

# /sbin/udevadm control --reload-rules && /sbin/udevadm trigger

• Confirm that the devices have been created under /dev/oracleasm

# ls -ld /dev/oracleasm/* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 July 4 10:35 /dev/oracleasm/asmvol001 -> ../sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 July 4 10:35 /dev/oracleasm/asmvol002 -> ../sdc1

• Check if they have the proper owner/group permissions in /dev

# ls -ld /dev/sd* brw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 8, 49 July 4 10:35 /dev/sdb1 brw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 8, 65 July 4 10:35 /dev/sdc1

• Create the directory

# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid
 

• Unzip the binary as oracle user

# cd /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/ # unzip LINUX.X64_180000_grid_home.zip

• Install cvuqdisk as root user

# rpm -ivh /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/cv/rpm/cvuqdisk-1.0.10-1.rpm
 

• Prepare the response file

# cat /tmp/gi.rsp | grep -v "^$" | grep -v "^#" oracle.install.responseFileVersion=/oracle/install/rspfmt_crsinstall_response_schema_v18.0.0 INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory oracle.install.option=HA_CONFIG ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle oracle.install.asm.OSDBA=oinstall oracle.install.asm.OSOPER=oinstall oracle.install.asm.OSASM=oinstall oracle.install.crs.config.scanType= oracle.install.crs.config.SCANClientDataFile= oracle.install.crs.config.gpnp.scanName= oracle.install.crs.config.gpnp.scanPort= oracle.install.crs.config.ClusterConfiguration= oracle.install.crs.config.configureAsExtendedCluster= oracle.install.crs.config.memberClusterManifestFile= oracle.install.crs.config.clusterName= oracle.install.crs.config.gpnp.configureGNS= oracle.install.crs.config.autoConfigureClusterNodeVIP= oracle.install.crs.config.gpnp.gnsOption= oracle.install.crs.config.gpnp.gnsClientDataFile= oracle.install.crs.config.gpnp.gnsSubDomain= oracle.install.crs.config.gpnp.gnsVIPAddress= oracle.install.crs.config.sites= oracle.install.crs.config.clusterNodes= oracle.install.crs.config.networkInterfaceList= oracle.install.asm.configureGIMRDataDG= oracle.install.crs.config.storageOption= oracle.install.crs.config.useIPMI= oracle.install.crs.config.ipmi.bmcUsername= oracle.install.crs.config.ipmi.bmcPassword= oracle.install.asm.storageOption=ASM oracle.install.asmOnNAS.ocrLocation= oracle.install.asmOnNAS.configureGIMRDataDG= oracle.install.asmOnNAS.gimrLocation= oracle.install.asm.SYSASMPassword=oracle oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.name=DATA oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.redundancy=EXTERNAL oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.AUSize= oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.FailureGroups= oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.disksWithFailureGroupNames= oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.disks=/dev/oracleasm/asmvol001,/dev/oracleasm/asmvol002 oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.quorumFailureGroupNames= oracle.install.asm.diskGroup.diskDiscoveryString=/dev/oracleasm/* oracle.install.asm.monitorPassword=oracle oracle.install.asm.gimrDG.name= oracle.install.asm.gimrDG.redundancy= oracle.install.asm.gimrDG.AUSize= oracle.install.asm.gimrDG.FailureGroups= oracle.install.asm.gimrDG.disksWithFailureGroupNames= oracle.install.asm.gimrDG.disks= oracle.install.asm.gimrDG.quorumFailureGroupNames= oracle.install.asm.configureAFD=false oracle.install.crs.configureRHPS= oracle.install.crs.config.ignoreDownNodes= oracle.install.config.managementOption= oracle.install.config.omsHost= oracle.install.config.omsPort= oracle.install.config.emAdminUser= oracle.install.config.emAdminPassword= oracle.install.crs.rootconfig.executeRootScript= oracle.install.crs.rootconfig.configMethod= oracle.install.crs.rootconfig.sudoPath= oracle.install.crs.rootconfig.sudoUserName= oracle.install.crs.config.batchinfo= oracle.install.crs.app.applicationAddress= oracle.install.crs.deleteNode.nodes=

• Perform Installation PreCheck as Oracle user

# /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/bin/runcluvfy.sh stage -pre hacfg

• Install 18c Grid Infrastructure as Oracle user

# /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/gridSetup.sh -silent -responseFile /tmp/gi.rsp

• As a root user, execute the following script(s)

1. /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh 2. /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/root.sh

• As an Oracle user, execute the following script

/u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/gridSetup.sh -executeConfigTools -responseFile /tmp/gi.rsp -silent

• Verify the installation as Oracle user

# /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/bin/cluvfy stage -post hacfg

• As a root user, run following commands

# cd /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/ # mv OPatch OPatch_old # unzip -q p6880880_180000_Linux-x86-64.zip # chown oracle:dba OPatch

• Verify the opatch version

# /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/OPatch/opatch version

• As an Oracle user, run following commands (/home/oracle/patch is the location where you save Apr 2019 PSU)

# cd /home/oracle/patch # unzip -q p29251992_180000_Linux-x86-64.zip

• As a root user, run the prerequisites

# cd /home/oracle/patch/29251992/29301682 # /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/OPatch/opatchauto apply -oh /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid -analyze

• Still as a root user, apply the patch if the prerequisites runs successfully

# /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/OPatch/opatchauto apply -oh /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid

• As an Oracle user, verify the patch is installed

# /u01/app/oracle/product/18.0.0.0/grid/OPatch/opatch lsinventory
