Oracle Database 12c Preinstall Steps

for Oracle Linux Simplified
Sergio Leunissen

This post is a quick reminder that Oracle Linux includes a handy RPM to address
pre-installation requirement for Oracle Database 12c.  Starting with Oracle
Database 12c Release 2, we changed the name for this RPM, so the RPM you
should look for depends on what release of Oracle Database 12c you plan to
install:

For Oracle Database 12c Release 2: oracle-database-server-12cR2-

preinstall
For Oracle Database 12c Release 1: oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstal

Both of these RPMs are in the ol6_latest and ol7_latest repository for Oracle Linux
6 and 7 on the Oracle Linux yum server as well as from ULN. All recent releases of
Oracle Linux 6 and 7 by default include the proper yum configuration to install
these RPMs.

$ yum info oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall

Available Packages
Name : oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall
