Overview

   Oracle is pleased to announce the general availability of the Oracle RDBMS Server 11gR2
   Pre-Install RPM for Oracle Linux 6 x86_64 (64 Bit) architecture.

   This package replaces the previous Oracle Validated RPM.

   You can complete most preinstallation configuration tasks by using the Oracle RDBMS Server 11gR2
   Pre-install RPM, available from the Unbreakable Linux Network, or via the Oracle Public Yum
   repository.

   When it is installed, the Oracle RDBMS Pre-install RPM does the following:

    * Automatically installs any additional packages needed for installing Oracle Grid
      Infrastructure and Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.3).

    * Creates an oracle user, and creates the oraInventory (oinstall) and OSDBA (dba) groups for
      that user. For security purposes, this user has no password by default and cannot login
      remotely. To enable remote login, please set a password using the "passwd" tool.

    * Sets and verifies sysctl.conf settings, system startup parameters, user limits, and driver
      parameters to the minimum acceptable values based on recommendations from the Oracle Database
      Installation Guide and the Oracle Validated Configurations program.

 Important Note

    Removal of the Oracle RDBMS Server 11gR2 Pre-install RPM will restore the following files to
    the version prior to inital installation:

    * /etc/security/limits.conf
    * /boot/grub/grub.conf
    * /etc/sysctl.conf

    If you make further changes to these files after installing the Oracle RDBMS Server 11gR2
    Pre-install RPM, please make a backup of your changed files and manually restore them after the
    package removal is complete.
