Description
Installs and configures the Oracle RDBMS, patches it to the latest
version and creates databases.
New features on v1.2.0
- Oracle 12c Release 1 support with DBEXPRESS
(Oracle client install is still 11g R2)
Tested with an Open Source Chef Server/Chef Client combo only.
Oracle version 11.2.0.3 was used to develop this cookbook, but the
code should work for other versions as well, with some
modifications.
At the time this cookbook was being developed the latest patch was
Patch 14727310 - 11.2.0.3.5, but it has now been updated to the
latest patch from Oracle 7/16/2013, Patch 16619892 - 11.2.0.3.7
Patch Set Update.
For guidelines on how to adapt the cookbook for other PSU versions,
see latest_dbpatch
, under Recipes
, below.
Quickstart (database)
- Have either an open Source Chef Server or a Hosted Chef account at the ready.
- Spin up a CentOS VM using your choice of hypervisor and/or Vagrant,
and the
CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso
, which you can get here:
- Your NIC is not up by default, make sure to edit the
/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0
file and runservice network start
. - Make sure your FQDN is properly configured (test this with
hostname -f
), elserunInstaller
will fail. - You don't want to transfer Oracle's binaries in the clear across the Internet. Set up a Web server to serve them over HTTPS unless you're on a secure local network.
-
Create a role to override the default attribute values for the URLs
of Oracle's install files & patches with your own; e.g.:name "ora_quickstart" description "Role applied to Oracle quickstart test machines." run_list 'recipe[oracle]', 'recipe[oracle::logrotate_alert_log]', 'recipe[oracle::logrotate_listener]', 'recipe[oracle::createdb]' override_attributes :oracle => {:rdbms => {:latest_patch => {:url => 'https://secure.server.localdomain/path/to/p16619892_112030_Linux-x86-64.zip'}, :opatch_update_url => 'https://secure.server.localdomain/path/to/p6880880_112000_Linux-x86-64.zip', :install_files => ['https://secure.server.localdomain/path/to/p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip', 'https://secure.server.localdomain/path/to/p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip']}}
-
For 12c install, add
node[:oracle][:rdbms][:dbbin_version]
override_attribute to the role.name "ora_12c_quickstart" description "Role applied to Oracle 12c quickstart test machines." run_list 'recipe[base]', 'recipe[oracle]', 'recipe[oracle::logrotate_alert_log]', 'recipe[oracle::logrotate_listener]', 'recipe[oracle::createdb]' override_attributes :oracle => {:rdbms => {:latest_patch => {:url => 'https://web-server.local/orapkg/p18031528_121010_Linux-x86-64.zip'}, :opatch_update_url => 'https://web-server.local/orapkg/p6880880_121010_Linux-x86-64.zip', :install_files => ['https://web-server.local/orapkg/linuxamd64_12c_database_1of2.zip', 'https://web-server.local/orapkg/linuxamd64_12c_database_2of2.zip'], :dbbin_version => '12c'}}
You need to set up an encrypted data bag item to secure the oracle
user's password. See Opscode's docs site for details on encrypted
data bags:
encrypted data bag doc
Your encrypted item requires a key namedpw
, whose value is the
password of the oracle user- you can set that to whatever you want.
You must set the value ofnode[:oracle][:user][:edb]
to the name
of your data bag, and that ofnode[:oracle][:user][:edb_item]
to
the name of the encrypted item; the defaults areoracle
and
foo
, respectively.-
If you're using the open source Chef Server, add this line to
/etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb:`erchef['s3_url_ttl'] = 9999`
then run chef-server-ctl reconfigure
to reconfigure Chef Server.
This config edit avoids running into CHEF-3045, which we are liable
to do because of the time it takes to install Oracle's binaries and
spin up a database.
- Bootstrap the node, telling Chef to create the FOO database on it:
11g
knife bootstrap HOSTNAME -r 'role[ora_quickstart]' -j '{"oracle" : {"rdbms": {"dbs": {"FOO" : false}}}}'
12c
knife bootstrap HOSTNAME -r 'role[ora_12c_quickstart]' -j '{"oracle" : {"rdbms": {"dbs": {"FOO" : false}}}}'
- Go grab a cup of tea, as this is apt to take a fair amount of time to complete :-)
Quickstart (client)
Only 11g client available for now.
Follow the steps above to create a VM
Create a role to override the default attribute values for the URLs
of Oracle Client's install files & patches with your own; e.g.:
Note, that you need only one install file for the client: p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_4of7.zip
name "ora_cli_quickstart"
description "Role applied to Oracle Client quickstart test machines."
run_list 'recipe[oracle::oracli]'
override_attributes :oracle => {:client => {:latest_patch => {:url => 'https://secure.server.localdomain/path/to/p16619892_112030_Linux-x86-64.zip'}, :opatch_update_url => 'https://secure.server.localdomain/path/to/p6880880_112000_Linux-x86-64.zip', :install_files => ['https://secure.server.localdomain/path/to/p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_4of7.zip']}}
You need to set up an encrypted data bag item to secure the oracli
user's password. See Opscode's docs site for details on encrypted
data bags:
encrypted data bag doc
Your encrypted item requires a key namedpw
, whose value is the
password of the oracli user- you can set that to whatever you want.
You must set the value ofnode[:oracle][:cliuser][:edb]
to the name
of your data bag, and that ofnode[:oracle][:cliuser][:edb_item]
to
the name of the encrypted item; the defaults areoracli
and
foo
, respectively.-
If you have already bootstrapped a node with the ora_quickstart role,
you can easily add therole[ora_cli_quickstart]
role to the run
list.knife node run_list add
'role[ora_cli_quickstart]' -
Otherwise just, bootstrap the node to install the client on it:
knife bootstrap HOSTNAME -r 'role[ora_cli_quickstart]'

See here:
Chef
This cookbook was successfully tested using Chef-Client 11, in combo
with the open source Chef Server 11, as well as with Hosted Chef.
Version 1.2.0 has been tested against Chef-Client (11.10.4)
and open source Chef Server 11 (11.0.10).
If you use the open source Chef Server, because installing a
database takes a long while, and owing to
CHEF-3045, you'll want
to increase the value of erchef['s3_url_ttl']
in
/etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb
; which value to choose depends on the
number of databases you create, and how fast your nodes are. In most
cases, this should give you room to spare to install a couple
databases:
erchef['s3_url_ttl'] = 9999
then run chef-server-ctl reconfigure
to reconfigure Chef Server.
Platforms
CentOS 6.5 (x86_64)
RHEL 6.5 (x86_64)
oracle was tested on the distros/versions given above; YMMV on
older versions of their 6.x branches.
The development target was Centos x86_64 minimal install
.
DISCLAIMER: note that, out of these platforms, Oracle Database
11g R2 and 12c R1 are only certified on RHEL 6 :-) For more detail,
check the certification matrix on My Oracle Support:

Packages
- Access to My Oracle Support to download the 11g R2 install media and the patch files.
You will not be able to download the 11.2.0.3 install files from
Oracle Technology Network (OTN), since the version available there
is 11.2.0.1. From:
Oracle DB Downloads page
"11/10/11: Patch Set 11.2.0.3 for Linux, Solaris, Windows, AIX
and HP-UX Itanium is now available on support.oracle.com. Note: it
is a full installation (you do not need to download 11.2.0.1
first). See the README for more info (login to My Oracle Support
required)."

Miscellaneous
- Ensure that your FQDN is properly configured (check the output of
hostname -f
), else runInstaller will fail. - At least a basic knowledge of Oracle administration will come in handy, in particular if you want to modify attributes' values and/or modify the cookbook's code or resources.
- If you want to increase the size of
/dev/shm
, edit/etc/fstab
accordingly, and make sure to add this entry to/etc/rc.local
or/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
to have your changes persist across reboots:
/bin/mount -o remount /dev/shm
This works around a bug in RHEL and derivatives:

Attributes
oracle defines a single top-level namespace: :oracle
. Values
that pertain to the whole Oracle setup (not only the RDBMS) are
defined there directly:
-
node[:oracle][:ora_base]
- sets the Oracle base's absolute pathname, defaults to/opt/oracle
. -
node[:oracle][:ora_inventory]
- sets oraInventory's absolute pathname, defaults to/opt/oraInventory
.
:oracle
has four children:

. -
node[:oracle][:cliuser][:edb_item]
- sets the name of the encrypted item in which the oracli user's password is stored. Defaults tofoo
.
Attributes under :rdbms
relate to the Oracle RDBMS proper,
rather unsurprisingly:
-
node[:oracle][:rdbms][:dbbin_version]
- selection for 12c. -
node[:oracle][:rdbms][:ora_home]
- sets the oracle home's absolute pathname; defaults to#{node[:oracle][:ora_base]}/11R23

Recipes
By order of appearance in a typical workflow:
default
Includes 5 recipes, which are, in order:
oracle::oracle_user_config
oracle::deps_install
oracle::kernel_params
-
oracle::dbbin
unlessnode[:oracle][:rdbms][:is_installed]
's value istrue
. -
oracle::latest_dbpatch
unlessnode[:oracle][:rdbms][:latest_patch][:is_installed]
's value istrue
.
IOW, we set up the oracle user, install Oracle's dependencies, tweak
the kernel's parameters, then install the Oracle binaries (unless
we've done so already, and patch them to the latest patch version
(unless we've done so already).
oracli
Includes 5 recipes, which are, in order:
oracle::oracli_user_config
oracle::deps_cli_install
oracle::kernel_params
-
oracle::clibin
unlessnode[:oracle][:client][:is_installed]
's value istrue
. -
oracle::cli_latest_patch
unlessnode[:oracle][:client][:latest_patch][:is_installed]
's value istrue
.
IOW, we set up the oracli user, install Oracle's dependencies, tweak
the kernel's parameters, then install the Oracle Client binaries (unless
we've done so already, and patch them to the latest patch version
(unless we've done so already).
oracle_user_config
Create and configure the oracle user. Its password is only set if
node[:oracle][:user][:pw_set]
's value isn't true .
node[:oracle][:user][:pw_set]
's value is false
by default; it's
flipped to true
after we set the password, meaning that, if you want
to change the password after the first Chef run, you'll have to flip
it back.
The recipe expects the oracle user password to be stored in an
encrypted data bag item; the bag's name is controlled by the
node[:oracle][:user][:edb]
attribute, whose default value is
oracle
. The item's name is controlled by the node[:oracle][:user][:edb_item]
attribute, whose default value is foo
.
The recipe requires the encrypted item to include a key named pw
,
whose value you must set to the oracle user's password.
For more detail on encrypted data bags, see:
Opscode's doc on encrypted data bags
oracli_user_config
Create and configure the oracli user. Its password is only set if
node[:oracle][:cliuser][:pw_set]
's value isn't true .
node[:oracle][:cliuser][:pw_set]
's value is false
by default; it's
flipped to true
after we set the password, meaning that, if you want
to change the password after the first Chef run, you'll have to flip
it back.
The recipe expects the oracli user password to be stored in an
encrypted data bag item; the bag's name is controlled by the
node[:oracle][:cliuser][:edb]
attribute, whose default value is
oracli
. The item's name is controlled by the node[:oracle][:cliuser][:edb_item]
attribute, whose default value is foo
.
The recipe requires the encrypted item to include a key named pw
,
whose value you must set to the oracli user's password.
For more detail on encrypted data bags, see:
Opscode's doc on encrypted data bags
deps_install
Installs the Oracle RDBMS' dependencies, which are specified as an
Array of package names that's the value of node[:oracle][:rdbms][:deps]
.
deps_cli_install
Installs the Oracle Client' dependencies, which are specified as an
Array of package names that's the value of node[:oracle][:client][:deps]
.
kernel_params
Configures kernel parameters for Oracle. We deploy a config file to
/etc/sysctl.d/ora_params
and reload sysctl
settings.
ora_os_setup
Includes 3 recipes, which are, in order:
oracle::oracle_user_config
oracle::deps_install
oracle::kernel_params
The recipe will set up the oracle user, install Oracle's dependencies
and tweak the kernel's parameters.
dbbin
Installs Oracle RDBMS binaries. The install files are specified as
an Array of URLs that's the value of the node[:oracle][:rdbms][:install_files]
attribute.
Note: If you use the ora_quickstart
or ora_12c_quickstart
roles,
they will override the values.
clibin
Installs Oracle Client binaries. The install files are specified as
an Array of URLs that's the value of the node[:oracle][:client][:install_files]
attribute.
Note: If you use the ora_cli_quickstart
role, it will override the values.
latest_dbpatch
Installs latest patch for Oracle RDBMS. The patch file is specified
as a URL that's the value of node[:oracle][:rdbms][:latest_patch][:url]
.
Also remember to update OPatch 6880880 to the latest version.
Previous or new PSU patches should work without many changes. 11.2.0.3.4,
11.2.0.3.7 and 11.2.0.3.8 worked fine in our environment.
cli_latest_patch
Installs latest patch for Oracle Client. The patch file is specified
as a URL that's the value of node[:oracle][:client][:latest_patch][:url]
.
Also remember to update OPatch 6880880 to the latest version.
Previous or new PSU patches should work without many changes. 11.2.0.3.4,
11.2.0.3.7, 11.2.0.3.8 and 11.2.0.3.10 worked fine in our environment.
get_version
Included by latest_dbpatch
. Populates node[:oracle][:rdbms][:install_info]
's
Hash with key/value pairs that track the patch number, the patch's
timestamp, and the version string, as extracted from the output of:
opatch lsinventory -bugs_fixed
get_cli_version
Included by cli_latest_patch
. Populates node[:oracle][:client][:install_info]
's
Hash with key/value pairs that track the patch number, the patch's
timestamp, and the version string, as extracted from the output of:
opatch lsinventory -bugs_fixed
createdb
Creates databases. Iterates over the keys of the node[:oracle][:rdbms][:dbs]
's
Hash, creating a database for each key whose value isn't truthy.
You're meant to specify this Hash yourself, for example in a role,
or as part of the bootstrap command line, e.g.:
[snip] -j '{"oracle" : {"rdbms": {"dbs": {"FOO" : false}}}}'
The value associated with a key is set to true
after its
corresponding database has been created.
logrotate_alert_log
logrotate config for the Oracle alert log.
logrotate_listener
logrotate config for the Oracle listener's log.
Usage Notes
- You can customise most installation paths and related settings; see the Attributes section, above, for details.
- Database is installed on the root (
/
) filesystem. DBAs are encouraged to improve the disk/fs layout as they see fit, and/or to fit local practice. - The database template (created by DBCA) is not an Oracle best practise, feel free to replace it with one of your own creation.
- The database filesystem root is parameterised, using
node[:oracle][:rdbms][:dbs_root]
. This attribute is leveraged in the database template we ship. If you want to do the same with your own database template, you'll have to turn it into a Chef template as well (and use search-and-replace). - Replace the default ocm.rsp with your own, if you want to add your
email address for updates. Use the
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp
command to do that (pass it the-help
switch to check its usage). Then put the new reponse file on your HTTPS server and setnode[:oracle][:rdbms][:response_file_url]
to the file's URL. -
dbbin
takes a long time to complete; hence the potential issue with CHEF-3045 for open source Chef Server users. - By default the em console will be configured, so this will extend the
total run time even further (between versions 1.0.4 and 1.1.0). You
can turn it off from the
attributes/detault.rb
. - On a similar note,
createdb
supports the creation of several DBs on the same host, but this is apt to take a small eternity to complete. - The supplementary group
oinstall
for oracli is to align the permissions to access /opt/oraInventory. - If you experience errors while generating the ocm.rsp, this might be due to not having connection to the internet.
