Install Oracle AI Database 26ai on a VirtualBox VM
This post shows how to install Oracle AI Database 26ai on a Oracle Linux 9.5 virtual machine. Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database will be installed.
Table of Contents
Preparation
We will install the software on a Oracle VirtualBox Virtual Machine. So we need a VM as described in this post. Next we need the Oracle 26ai software from edelivery.oracle.com. Search for Oracle Database and download the software (Current Version: Oracle Database Grid Infrastructure 23.26 – for Engineered Systems) to a place accessible from the VM (e.g. /sw/oracle/gi/23ai_linux and /sw/oracle/db/23ai_linux). To be able to use ASM we need some additional disk devices for the VM. Run this in a command prompt on the VirtualBox host:
set "VHOST="
(set /p VHOST=Enter VM name ^(e.g. lin1^):
rem add and attach 2 50g disks for diskgroup +DATA
call vboxmanage createmedium disk --filename c:\vms\%VHOST%\%VHOST%_2.vdi --sizebyte=53687091200 --variant Standard
call vboxmanage createmedium disk --filename c:\vms\%VHOST%\%VHOST%_3.vdi --sizebyte=53687091200 --variant Standard
call vboxmanage storageattach %VHOST% --storagectl "SATA" --port 1 --device 0 --type hdd --medium c:\vms\%VHOST%\%VHOST%_2.vdi
call vboxmanage storageattach %VHOST% --storagectl "SATA" --port 2 --device 0 --type hdd --medium c:\vms\%VHOST%\%VHOST%_3.vdi
rem add and attach 3 x 25 GB disks for diskgroup +FRA
call vboxmanage createmedium disk --filename c:\vms\%VHOST%\%VHOST%_4.vdi --sizebyte=26843545600 --variant Standard
call vboxmanage createmedium disk --filename c:\vms\%VHOST%\%VHOST%_5.vdi --sizebyte=26843545600 --variant Standard
call vboxmanage createmedium disk --filename c:\vms\%VHOST%\%VHOST%_6.vdi --sizebyte=26843545600 --variant Standard
call vboxmanage storageattach %VHOST% --storagectl "SATA" --port 3 --device 0 --type hdd --medium c:\vms\%VHOST%\%VHOST%_4.vdi
call vboxmanage storageattach %VHOST% --storagectl "SATA" --port 4 --device 0 --type hdd --medium c:\vms\%VHOST%\%VHOST%_5.vdi
call vboxmanage storageattach %VHOST% --storagectl "SATA" --port 5 --device 0 --type hdd --medium c:\vms\%VHOST%\%VHOST%_6.vdi
timeout /T 5 /NOBREAK
call vboxmanage controlvm %VHOST% shutdown
timeout /T 10 /NOBREAK
rem increase the main memory to 10 GB
call vboxmanage modifyvm %VHOST% --memory=10240
call vboxmanage setextradata %VHOST% "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiChassisAssetTag" "OracleCloud.com"
call vboxmanage startvm %VHOST%)
Now we create the users oracle and grid on the linux VM, unzip the software and set some kernel parameters (run as root user):
# run as root
bash -c "# add groups and users
groupadd -g 2000 oinstall ; groupadd -g 2001 dba ; groupadd -g 2002 asmdba ; groupadd -g 2003 asmadmin
