A vagrant box that provisions Oracle 12c automatically.

oracle12c-vagrant

A vagrant box that provisions Oracle 12c automatically, using only Vagrant and a shell script.

Getting started

1. Clone this repository
2. Download the Oracle Database 12c binaries linuxamd64_12102_database_1of2.zip and linuxamd64_12102_database_2of2.zip from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html and unzip to database/

• Ensure you unzip into the same directory and they merge. There are some common directories in each. On the commandline, you can run unzip '*.zip' to do this for you.

3. Install Virtualbox
4. Install Vagrant
5. Install VirtualBox plugin vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
6. Run vagrant up

• The first time you run this it will provision everything and may take a while. Ensure you have a good internet connection!

7. Connect to the database (see below).
8. You can shutdown the box via the usual vagrant halt and the start it up again via vagrant up.

Connecting to Oracle

• Hostname: localhost
• Port: 1521
• SID: orcl
• All passwords are password.

Tablespaces

The folder oradata is mounted as a shared folder with permissions for Oracle to use it. If you have Oracle schemas that will consume a lot of space, create a tablespace for your schema in this directory instead of using the built in tablespaces. See tablespace.sql for an example of how to create a tablespace in this directory.

Other info

• If you need to, you can connect to the machine via vagrant ssh.
• You can sudo su - oracle to switch to the oracle user.
• The Oracle installation path is /opt/oracle/
• On the guest OS, the directory /vagrant is a shared folder and maps to wherever you have this file checked out.

Known issues

Repeated authentication failure message

On vagrant up if you experience this issue:

default: Error: Authentication failure. Retrying...
default: Error: Authentication failure. Retrying...
default: Error: Authentication failure. Retrying...
default: Error: Authentication failure. Retrying...
default: Error: Authentication failure. Retrying...

Then you may have hit a bug in vagrant 1.8.5. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22922891/vagrant-ssh-authentication-failure

The solution is to:

vagrant ssh
password: vagrant
chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
exit

then vagrant reload.

Connection time after startup

Once Oracle and the listener starts up, it may take a few moments until you are able to connect to the DB, eg via SQL Developer.

Provisioning fails with "id: oracle: no such user"

Comment out line 35 in the Vagrant file. This mounts an additional folder however depending on how long it takes the machine to boot, the database might startup before that happens and things will complain.

oracle12c-vagrant's Issues

sqlplus: command not found

After cloning this git and unzip Oracle DBA 12c files into database/, I tried 'vagrant up' and 'vagrant ssh', but I could not launch SQL*PLUS as oracle user. Terminal says

[oracle@localhost ~]$ sqlplus
-bash: sqlplus: command not found

What's wrong with me?

Provisioning fails with "id: oracle: no such user"

Vagrant is attempting to mount "/vagrant/oradata" as user oracle before the user is created. This causes the provisioning to fail.

==> default: Mounting shared folders...
    default: /vagrant => /Users/jon/Documents/Projects/oracle12c-vagrant
    default: /vagrant/oradata => /Users/jon/Documents/Projects/oracle12c-vagrant/oradata
Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the
guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:

id -u oracle

The error output from the command was:

id: oracle: no such user

Can't logon - bad user/password

I tried sysdba/password but it doesn't work.

Enter user-name: SYSDBA
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

DB may not startup if synced folder is not mounted in time

Since the /vagrant folder is mounted after the server starts up, if this takes a while the Database may not startup. The workaround is to connect and open it:

sudo su - oracle
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> select status from v$instance;

the result should be MOUNTED. If so:

SQL> alter database open;

To resolve this, the Oracle startup could wait for the folder to be mounted via:

Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders.

Hi There!

First off thanks for creating this vagrant config!

I am trying to get it working on my local Windows 10. I have Vagrant 1.8.7 and Virtual box 5.1.14r112924. But I am hitting an error - probably my fault, but hoped you may have some idea on the issue.

When I try and run vagrant up (after copying in Oracle 12c standard edition linux unziped files in the /database directory) I get the error:

Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the
guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 vagrant /vagrant

The error output from the command was:

/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device

Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the
guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 vagrant /vagrant

The error output from the command was:

/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device
