Database Reference
In-Depth Information
■
if you try to create a database as the
oracle
user, you will get told you do not have the privilege to do so. this
is due to the
root
user owning the
oakcli
command, and it is why the preceding code example begins with a
su
to
root
.
the following error is what will be presented if you forget and execute the command as the
oracle
user:
Note
ERROR: 2013-11-11 21:19:13: Insufficient privileges to create the database
Once you kick off the
oakcli create database -db
command, you will be asked a series of questions to help
configure the database on the Oracle Database Appliance. These questions range from asking about user passwords
to what type of database you want to configure. Let's get started.
[root@patty bin]# ./oakcli create database -db bcodatst
INFO: 2013-11-11 21:20:59: Database parameter file is not provided. Will be using default parameters
for DB creation
Notice that we didn't provide a parameter file? The
oakcli
command picks up on this and makes the decision to
use a default one. You are then asked to provide some passwords.
Please enter the 'root' user password:
Please re-enter the 'root' user password:
Please enter the 'oracle' user password:
Please re-enter the 'oracle' user password:
Please enter the 'SYSASM' user password: (During deployment we set the SYSASM password to
'welcome1'):
Please re-enter the 'SYSASM' user password:
INFO: 2013-11-11 21:25:24: Installing a new home: OraDb11203_home3 at
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_3
After providing all the passwords that are needed to interact with the hardware of the Oracle Database Appliance,
the
oakcli
command wants to know what type of database deployment you want to perform. Since you are creating a
Real Application Cluster (RAC) database, you need to select option three.
Please select one of the following for Database Deployment [1 .. 3]:
1 => EE : Enterprise Edition
2 => RACONE
3 => RAC
Selected value is: RAC
With a RAC installation, the installer next wants to know what size database you want to create. There are
five different types of size classes to choose from. For demo purposes, we are going to go with a middle of the road
database. Select option three to continue with the installation of the database.
Please select one of the following for Database Class [1 .. 5]:
1 => Very Small
2 => Small
3 => Medium
4 => Large
5 => Extra Large
Selected value is: Medium
