Installing SOA Suite 11.1.1.5

The idea is to get all the pieces together for installling a SOA Suite 11.1.1.5 on a Oracle Linux Server 6. Although the 11.1.1.5 is not yet certified on Oracle Linux 6 still it works like wonder.

I will share the details over a period of time as I install the server.

Step 1: Get Hardware
1. Since the RAM requirement for 11g is quite high, I will install a linux server on my Toshiba 4GB Laptop which has a dual core.
2. JDev will be on a difrrent laptop which should have alteast 2 GB RAM.

Step 2: Get Software
1. Oracle Linux Server 6 - Oracle is releasing new versions at quite a pace so will take what ever is the latest version.
2. Oracle SOA Suite - 11.1.1.5 PS4
3. Database - Oracle XE 11g beta

How to mount a FAT16/FAT32 Pen Drive
1. Login as root
2. Type fdisk -l to get a list of all the drives
Locate your pen drive
---
Disk /dev/sdb: 4012 MB, 4012900352 bytes
120 heads, 55 sectors/track, 1187 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 6600 * 512 = 3379200 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

3. Locate the partition in the disk which you want to mount
fdisk /dev/sdb
Type p to get a list of partition
---
[root@shan ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb

WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to
sectors (command 'u').

Command (m for help): p

4. Create a folder under mnt where you want to mount the partition
mkdir /mnt/sandisk
5. Mount the drive
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sandisk
6. To unmount
umount /mt/sandisk
