OWI Oracle Server Cookbook

This cookbook is used to set up an Oracle database server on a CentOS 6.x machine

Requirements

The Oracle server installation file from Oracle. This is not freely available and is not made available with this cookbook. The testing was done on a VM with 6G of RAM and 60GB HD. For specific requirements, check the Oracle documentation

Platforms

  • CentOS 6.x

Chef

  • Chef 12.0 or later

Cookbooks

  • Required -- sysctl

  • Optional -- Stig

Attributes

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["data_bag"]["name"] = The name of the encrypted databag which holds the admin password

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["data_bag"]["item"]["credentials"] = The name of the data bag item holding the admin password

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["oracle_user"] = Service user account created on the system (Default: oracle)

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["oracle_group"] = Service user account group created on the system (Default: oinstall)

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["oracle_sid"] = Database SID to create (Default: admin)

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["oracle_home"] = Home directory of the service account (Default: /u01/oradata/auto/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1)

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["oracle_base"] = Application directory, typically in the home directory of the service account (Default: /u01/oradata/auto)

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["db_domain"] = In a distributed database system, DB_DOMAIN specifies the logical location of the database within the network structure. Read here. If no value is set, this will be set dynamically. On a standalone server, this probably does not need to be set. (Default: None.)

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["memory_target"] = Configuration option. Read more info here (Default: 2G)

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["install_location"] = Source location of the installation file zip (Default: file:///tmp/kitchen/data/install.zip - This is where Test Kitchen places it)

["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["basic_client_install_location"] = Source location of the installation RPM file for the basic client install. This is used by the client_install recipe ["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["sqlplus_client_install_location"] = Source location of the installation RPM file for the SQLPlus client install. This is used by the client_install recipe ["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["jdbc_client_install_location"] = Source location of the installation RPM file for the JDBC supplemental libraries. This is used by the client_install recipe ["owi-oracle-server"]["config"]["ld_library_path"] = Sets the path to the link libraries needed by the SQLPlus client. Default value is '/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib' which is valid for 12.1 client installs. If installing a different version, this will need to be changed. If not running the client_install_recipe, this can be left as an empty string

Usage

owi-oracle-server::default

Just include owi-oracle-server in your node"s run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[owi-oracle-server]"
  ]
}

You will also want to add sysctl-specific settings in your attributes. This is required by the Oracle installation and is managed by the third-party sysctl cookbook:

{
      "sysctl" : {
        "params" : {
          "net.core.wmem_max" : "1048576",
          "net.core.wmem_default" : "262144",
          "net.core.rmem_max" : "4194304",
          "net.core.rmem_default" : "262144",
          "net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range" : "9000 65535",
          "fs.filemax" : "6815744",
          "fs.aio-max-nr" : "1048576",
          "kernel.semmsl" : "250",
          "kernel.semmns" : "32000",
          "kernel.semopm" : "100",
          "kernel.semmni" : "128",
          "kernel.shmmni" : "4096",
          "kernel.panic_on_oops" : "1"
        }
      }
    }
