4. Create the Oracle base directory
   # mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle /u01/app/oraInventory
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle /u01/app/oraInventory
# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle /u01/app/oraInventory
   
5. Installing Flash on server using RPM
   rpm -Uvh [/path/to/adobe-release/x86_64/version/noarch/rpm]
yum install flash-plugin.x86_64
6. Documentation on starting Oracle 12c on boot
7. Add these lines to the “oracle” user’s .bash_profile file
   ORACLE_SID=oracle2
ORAENV_ASK=NO
. oraenv
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
8. Create symbolic links to the dbora script in the appropriate run-level script directories as follows.
   # ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K01dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbo
9. Firewalld
   1. The oracledb.xml file
   2. Set permissions on the oracledb.xml file
      # chmod root:root oracledb.xml
# Use chcon to label the file for selinux
# chcon -u system_u oracledb.xml
# chcon -t firewalld_etc_rw_t oracledb.xml
   3. Add oracledb rule to firewalld
      systemctl reload firewalld.service
      Check oracledb is available
      firewall-cmd --get-services
      View public services
      firewall-cmd --list-services --zone=public
      Need to add oracledb to public
      firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=oracledb
