As root: Create DBA Group and Oracle User

Do this on all servers

$ /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
$ /usr/sbin/groupadd dba
$ /usr/sbin/useradd -m -g oinstall -G dba oracle
$id oracle

$passwd oracle
-- set the password to oracle1

# Verify group membership
$ groups oracle

$ id nobody
-- if nobody does not exist then
$ /usr/sbin/useradd nobody

As root: Create Installation Directories

Do this on all servers

mkdir -p /app/oracle
chown -R oracle:dba /app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /app/oracle

mkdir /stage
chown -R oracle:dba /stage

As root: Alter Kernel Parameters in sysctl.conf by appending the highlighted text.

Do this on all servers

cd /etc

vi sysctl.conf

fs.file-max = 65536
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648

net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000

-- Activate changes
/sbin/sysctl -p

Optional Verifications
