error related to home directory during install on 11.2.0.3 about biemond-oradb HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,

did you also do this
https://github.com/biemond/biemond-oradb#linux-kernel-ulimits-and-required-packages

like creating the oracle user and its groups because the oradb module won't do this because most people want to do this themselves.

Cheers

Hi,

Thank you for your fast answer. I think you point the finger exactly on what is wrong. My groups are created but my oracle user might not be. I will fix this and test it again to confirm.

Regards

Hi
actually i checked and i confirmed the presence of the prerequisite where my oracle user is defined with /opt/oracle as well as the installdb base parameter. still like you can see in the logs /home/oracle is called...

if i am correct the issue might come from this piece of code where the home directory of the user is not really required but in my case i might have to redefine $userbasedir=/opt

code:

if ( $bashProfile == true ) {
  if ! defined(File["${userBaseDir}/${user}/.bash_profile"]) {
    file { "${userBaseDir}/${user}/.bash_profile":
      ensure  => present,
      # content => template('oradb/bash_profile.erb'),
      content => regsubst(template('oradb/bash_profile.erb'), '\r\n', "\n", 'EMG'),
      mode    => '0775',
      owner   => $user,
      group   => $group,
    }
  }
}

logs:
Error: Could not set 'present' on ensure: No such file or directory - /home/oracle/.bash_profile20150417-1298-b38wm5.lock at 200:/etc/puppet/modules/oradb/manifests/installdb.pp

Hi,

you can set userBaseDir to /opt/oracle or disable it by setting bashProfile to false.
Hope this will help.

Thanks

Hello,
i confirm that the following is the correct one to keep the bash script and using something else than /home as user directory:
::oradb::installdb { '11.2.0.3_Linux-x86-64':
version => '11.2.0.3',
file => 'p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64',
databaseType => 'SE',
userBaseDir => '/opt',
oracleBase => '/opt/oracle',
oracleHome => '/opt/oracle/product/11.2/db',
user => 'oracle',
group => 'dba',
group_install => 'oinstall',
downloadDir => '/install',
remoteFile => true,
puppetDownloadMntPoint => "puppet:///modules/oradb/",
initfile => true,
}

thank you for your support, this was much appreciated.
cheers
