Linux Version : CentOS 7.5
Oracle Version : 18c (18.3.0.0)
1. Download the Zip file from Oracle Website and create groups and oracle user(https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/oracle18c-linux-180000-5022980.html ) ##
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
useradd oracle -g oinstall -G dba
passwd oracle
Create .bash_profile , in my test server i use 3 different Oracle homes and versions, so the bash profile looks a bit extra funky 😉
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc

then echo "$MAILMSG" # operation, the Shell checks

2. Install all the pre-requisites, if your on Oracle Linux there is an RPM you can install : oracle-database-preinstall-18c
Else if you prefer do the pre-requisites manually (Which I do)
Check for missing packages
rpm -q –qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}(%{ARCH})\n' binutils \
compat-libcap1 \
compat-libstdc++-33 \
elfutils-libelf \
elfutils-libelf-devel \
gcc \
gcc-c++ \
glibc \
glibc-common \
glibc-devel \
glibc-headers \
ksh \
libaio \
libaio-devel \
libgcc \
libstdc++ \
libstdc++-devel \
make \
libXext \
libXtst \
libX11 \
libXau \
libxcb \
libXi \
sysstat \
unixODBC \
unixODBC-devel
Install missing packages with Yum
eg:
rpm -q –qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}(%{ARCH})\n' binutils \
compat-libcap1 \
compat-libstdc++-33 \
elfutils-libelf \
elfutils-libelf-devel \

Add Limits for Oracle user
Open file limits.conf and add below parameters
rpm -q –qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}(%{ARCH})\n' binutils \

compat-libstdc++-33 \
elfutils-libelf \

3. Silent Installation of 18c Software, the new installer is a zipped Oracle Home which you need to unzip to your Oracle Home directory and installation command just relinks all libraries. The installation is super quick due to this, afer this installation you are never going back to the normal runInstaller again
rpm -q –qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}(%{ARCH})\n' binutils \
compat-libcap1 \
compat-libstdc++-33 \
elfutils-libelf \
elfutils-libelf-devel \

glibc-devel \
glibc-headers \
ksh \
libaio \
libaio-devel \
libgcc \

libstdc++-devel \
make \
libXext \
libXtst \
libX11 \

4. Silent Creation of Database using dbca silent mode

5. Create Listener for 18c
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/18.3.0/dbhome_1/admin/network vi listener.ora SID_LIST_LISTENER_18C = (SID_LIST = (SID_DESC = (GLOBAL_DBNAME = ora18c) (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/18.3.0/dbhome_1) (SID_NAME = ora18c) ) ) LISTENER_18C = (DESCRIPTION_LIST = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 103.42.111.196)(PORT = 1523)) ) ) lsnrctl start LISTENER_18C Checking from SQL*PLUS SQL*Plus: Release 18.0.0.0.0 - Production on Mon Aug 13 04:03:10 2018 Version 18.3.0.0.0 Copyright (c) 1982, 2018, Oracle.
