With 11g there are many components to download, such as Weblogic, Portal, SOA, Repository Creation Utilities, Database Server, SSO, etc. So I thought I would document how I installed it for two reasons.. The main one being that when I have to install this beast again for a TEST environment I know exactly how I set up DEV. The second reason is that hopefully this will benefit some of you trying to install this yourselves.
As always when sharing information, if you see any errors/mis-steps, etc feel free to leave a comment. There is alot of information to sift through during the install so I can’t guarantee I have captured all of the steps, so if I have missed something please let me know.
Part 1 includes links to resources and a brief overview of the system and memory requirements.
Part 2 will cover installing the database tier which consists of the database and OID.
Part 3 will cover installing SSO on the application tier.
Part 4 will cover installing SOA and Portal on the application tier.

Server Setup
I’m assuming you already have a 64bit version of Oracle Enterprise Linux installed on two servers. OEL 5.3 has alot of the pre-reqs required already installed, so from a server perspective there aren’t many changes.Required Packages: OEL 5.3 for X86_64:
Most packages are installed by default with OEL 5.3. Those that need to be installed:
openmotif22-2.2.3 (for Oracle Reports Server)
openmotif-2.2.3 (for Oracle Reports Server)
gdbm (Application Server)
If you don’t have a valid CSI from Oracle Support, setup the public yum repository.
Install the missing packages using yum. Pass the following package names to yum install, see example below.
· unixODBC.i386
· unixODBC-devel.i386
· openmotif22.x86_64
· openmotif.x86_64
· libaio-devel.i386
· gdbm
Installation example for one package:
[root@dbtier yum.repos.d]# yum install libaio-devel.i386
Loaded plugins: security

Software to Download
I was going to capture the links for all the packages that you will need to download. But as I was in the process up writing up this guide the Oracle Technology Network downloads page has been updated with the latest version 11.1.1.2
At the time of this post you could still download the media from Oracles eDelivery Website.
