Pre-requisites
Supported OS
The Oracle component type is supported on :
Oracle Linux 8/9
Red Hat entreprise Linux 8/9
Networking requirements
The following port must be open on your local/enterprise/cloud firewall :
Oracle listener port (usually 1521/tcp - see component references)
Artifacts
The artifacts must be uploaded into your artifact provider.
The paths and names of the files uploaded must match exactly the structure defined in the release notes of the component type.
See Artifacts requirements for more details.
On-prem pre-requisites
Deploying an Oracle component on on-premises servers requires a few prerequisites.
Ansible user
Ansible needs a user that can use sudo without password. Here is an example of how to accomplish that :
This user must be able to access remotely to the server with a SSH key defined in the secret section.
File systems
According to the Oracle Flexible Architecture (OFA), the Oracle homes, the Oracle instance data directory and the Fast Recover Area should be on different file systems. The Oracle component type is configured to use the following directories structure by default :
/u01 : to store the Oracle homes
/u02 : to store the data directory of the Oracle instance
/u03 : first location to store redo logs and control file
/u04 : second location to store redo logs and control file
/u90 : to store the FRA
Therefore /u01, /u02, /u03, /u04 and /u90 should, at least, be mounted on different file systems and ideally on different physical disks, whenever possible.
