This document describe the step to step procedure to Install Oracle 11g Grid infrastructure for standalone server on Linux.
The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
[root@oracle123 ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
192.168.xx.xx
oracle123 oracle123.localdomain
I'm using Virtual Box. so first need to configure local yum repository to install the required OS packages for Oracle Grid and Database.
Below are steps to configure the Local yum repository.
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[root@oracle123 yum.repos.d]# vi public-yum-ol6.repo
[root@oracle123 yum.repos.d]# cat public-yum-ol6.repo
[public_ol6_latest]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch)
baseurl=file:///mnt/Server
#gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
[root@oracle123 yum.repos.d]# mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
After configuring Local yum repository.Install the following packages if they are not already present.
yum install binutils-2*x86_64*
yum install glibc-2*x86_64* nss-softokn-freebl-3*x86_64*
yum install glibc-2*i686* nss-softokn-freebl-3*i686*
yum install compat-libstdc++-33*x86_64*
yum install glibc-common-2*x86_64*
yum install glibc-devel-2*x86_64*
yum install glibc-devel-2*i686*
yum install glibc-headers-2*x86_64*
yum install elfutils-libelf-0*x86_64*
yum install elfutils-libelf-devel-0*x86_64*
yum install gcc-4*x86_64*
yum install gcc-c++-4*x86_64*
yum install ksh-*x86_64*
yum install libaio-0*x86_64*
yum install libaio-devel-0*x86_64*
yum install libaio-0*i686*
yum install libaio-devel-0*i686*
yum install libgcc-4*x86_64*
yum install libgcc-4*i686*
yum install libstdc++-4*x86_64*
yum install libstdc++-4*i686*
yum install libstdc++-devel-4*x86_64*
yum install make-3.81*x86_64*
yum install numactl-devel-2*x86_64*
yum install sysstat-9*x86_64*
yum install compat-libstdc++-33*i686*
yum install compat-libcap*
Create OS groups and user.
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
Create the directories in which the Grid software will be installed and change the ownership to appropriate user and group and grant permissions.i will use oracle user as Grid owner.
mkdir -p /u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grid
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01
In order to configure ASM, we need to add additional disks in our virtual box storage.
Select the Machine and click on settings>Storage >controller:SATA>click on green plus disk sign.
Click on create new disk.
Choose default VDI
select fixed size
Select location and Size for the disk.
It will take few minutes.
Verify the storage disks.
Check the newly added disks are available.

As the root user, configure oracleasm.
[root@oracle123 ~]# oracleasm configure -i
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is
loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface []: dba

ASM disk groups are ready to use in Grid configuration.
Copy the Grid binaries and unzip.

RunInstaller as Grid owner user.i'm using Oracle user.
[oracle@oracle123]$ ./runInstaller
Skip software updates.
Select Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server.
Select language
if you are not able to see the disks. Click on change discovery path and specify location of ASM disks.
Enter disk group name, select redundancy and select disk.
Specify password for ASM accounts and remember it. During database installation when we choose ASM storage type it will prompt for password.
Ignore the message as i'm not using recommended asm groups. In real time create all oracle recommended groups.
Specify the ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME locations.
Location for orainventory.
Check if all prerequisites are met and succeeded.
Review the Summary and click on install.
At the end you will see the Successful installation message.
