Task 3: Install Oracle database application binaries (Linux)

This section covers the installation of Oracle database application binaries for both shared service edition and non-shared service edition. Typically, the Oracle Database application binaries are installed on the same server as the Portal binaries.

See Task 1: Portal and database deployment strategies (Linux).

Note:

The NetBackup IT Analytics server cannot have any other Oracle database instances installed.

Note the instructions provided with the confirmation of your purchase agreement and consult Veritas Support, if you require additional assistance.

Install Oracle database binaries for non-shared service edition:

To install the Oracle database binaries for non-shared service edition:

Verify that you have the current version of the Oracle 19c Installer binaries.
Login as root on the server where the NetBackup IT Analytics Database will be installed. Typically, this is also the Portal server.
Place the ISO image into the /mnt directory.
Mount the ISO image that you downloaded.
```
mkdir /mnt/diskd
```
```
mount -o loop <itanalytics_dbinstaller_XXXXX_XXX_linux.iso> 
/mnt/diskd
```
where you substitute the relevant name of the ISO file that you downloaded.
Enter the following commands to start the installer:
```
cd /
/mnt/diskd/install_oracle.sh
```
The command copies the Oracle binaries into /opt/aptare/oracle.

Press Enter to read the entire EULA license agreement and the pre- acceptance process will begin.

This takes 3-5 minutes to complete, as it installs files into /opt/aptare/oracle19c.
