Description

This cookbook is used to configure a system with Oracle Express Edition 11g.

Requirements

You must download the RPM in advance from Oracle yourself and accept the EULA. The RPM must be placed on a server that can serve it up over HTTP, and you must set the attribute node['oracle-xe']['url'] with that URL.

Platforms

Oracle Express Edition 11g is only supported on:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

and variants (Oracle Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Scientific)

Usage

Include the default recipe in your run list after setting the URL attribute.

Attributes

• node['oracle-xe']['url'] - The URL where you've placed the Oracle 11g Express Edition RPM.
• node['oracle-xe']['http-port'] - The port where you want the HTTP interface to be listening.
• node['oracle-xe']['tnslsnr-port'] - The port where you want the TNS listener to be listening.
• node['oracle-xe']['oracle-password'] - The password for the SYS and SYSTEM accounts.
• node['oracle-xe']['start-lsnr-on-boot'] - Whether to start the TNS listener on bootup.

Recipes

The default recipe installs Oracle 11g Express Edition.

Roadmap and Bugs

• Figure out why the response file doesn't actually seem to set SYS and SYSTEM passwords properly.
• Check Ohai data before doing anything to ensure the system has sufficient resources (cores, swap, memory) before running the RPM and having Oracle's installer fail.
