overmars同学在四月初就询问过我具体应该如何搭建一套Exadata虚拟机，当时我的回答是在五月前我会写一篇如何搭建Exadata虚拟机的文章，请到时关注我的blog。这里得向overmars同学道歉，因为由于一些个人的原因爽约了。 Anyway，Just hope it is not too late。
我知道很多Oracle DBA对学习Exadata有兴趣，却一直苦于身边没有一套可以学习测试Exadata的环境。要知道Exadata是Oracle是软硬件结合的一体机，单纯是通过自己的个人电脑是永远无法模拟出来真实的Exadata环境。所以这里说的Exadata虚拟机说白了只是按照猫话出来的老虎。Exadata虚拟机在Oracle内部一直就存在，但是仅限于Oracle University或者Oracle Internal用来培训或者学习Exadata之用，在Oracle内部的网站中这个虚拟机标识为“ Internal Use Only, Strict Confidential” 的字样。本人无意违反O记的policy，所以需要自己从头到尾开始构建。
好了废话不多说了，要构建一套Exadata虚拟环境，至少需要两台虚拟机，一台用于Cell节点，一台用于DB节点。
首先您的机器需要较高的配置：
- CPU Intel Core i3以上（或者AMD Athlon II X4以上）， 推荐Core i5 (AMD Phenom II X4) ;
- 内存(Memory)至少4G以上，推荐配置8G；
- 磁盘（Harddisk）空余至少在40G以上，当然如果有SSD更好
- 安装好虚拟机， 推荐使用Oracle Virtualbox （https://www.virtualbox.org/）；
- Oracle Linux 5.7安装介质。 可前往 https://edelivery.oracle.com/下载，下载前需要进行注册，注册是免费的。Oracle Linux 5.7的介质名为V27570-01.zip， 解压后的文件名为OracleLinux-R5-U7-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso
- Exadata 11.2.3.2 Cell的安装介质。可前往 https://edelivery.oracle.com/下载，下载前需要进行注册，注册是免费的。Exadata 11.2.3.2的Cell介质名为V33693-01.zip解压后文件名为cellImageMaker_11.2.3.2.0_LINUX.X64_120713-1.x86_64.tar；
- Oracle Clusterware 11.2.0.3以及Oracle database 11.2.0.3的Linux x86_64的安装介质，文件名为：p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_3of7.zip
- 最新的补丁工具Opatch。 补丁号： 6880880：OPatch patch of version 11.2.0.3.4 for Oracle software releases 11.2.0.x (APRIL 2013)
- Exadata RDBMS Bundle Patch 17 补丁号：16474946
然后就可以正式开始我们的Exadata之旅了。
首先需要在虚拟机中安装Oracle Linux 5.7, （Red Hat Enterprise Linux理论也可以，但我没有测试过），内存分配1GB通常就足够了。安装过程很简单，需要注意的是需要选上软件开发包，例如gcc/aio之类的，图形界面（GUI）可不装。推荐使用静态IP地址，我的网络配置如下:
[root@cell ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.56.255
HWADDR=08:00:27:B0:39:02
IPADDR=192.168.56.101
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.56.0
ONBOOT=yes
[root@cell ~]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 cell localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
注意： 安装完成以后Oracle Linux默认使用UEK，如果这里使用UEK， 则在后面的步骤中无法正常启动cellsrv服务。可以修改grub的配置将其默认启动内核修改为redhat兼容内核：
[root@cell ~]# vi /etc/grub.conf
将default=0修改为default=1 ，然后重启。
因为默认Oracle Linux启动了很多我们不需要的服务，为了节省资源，建议将以下服务停止并且禁用。
chkconfig --level 2345 auditd off && service auditd stop
chkconfig --level 2345 autofs off && service autofs stop
chkconfig --level 2345 avahi-daemon off && service avahi-daemon stop
chkconfig --level 2345 bluetooth off && service bluetooth stop
chkconfig --level 2345 cups off && service cups stop
chkconfig --level 2345 ip6tables off && service ip6tables stop
chkconfig --level 2345 iptables off && service iptables stop
chkconfig --level 2345 isdn off && service isdn stop
chkconfig --level 2345 kudzu off && service kudzu stop
chkconfig --level 2345 mcstrans off && service auditd stop
chkconfig --level 2345 netfs off && service netfs stop
chkconfig --level 2345 pcscd off && service pcscd stop
chkconfig --level 2345 restorecond off && service restorecond stop
chkconfig --level 2345 rhnsd off && service rhnsd stop
chkconfig --level 2345 sendmail off && service sendmail stop
chkconfig --level 2345 setroubleshoot off && service settroubleshoot stop
chkconfig --level 2345 smartd off && service smartd stop
chkconfig --level 2345 xinetd off && service xinetd stop
chkconfig --level 2345 yum-updatesd off && service yum-updatesd stop
当然上述服务的禁用也可以通过 ntsysv –level 2345在图形界面进行选择，取消掉不需要的服务，然后重启生效。
然后我们将Exadata Cell Image V33693-01.zip上传到虚拟机内，解压，得到cellImageMaker_11.2.3.2.0_LINUX.X64_120713-1.x86_64.tar，继续解压得到一个名为dl180的文件夹。
[root@cell ~]# unzip V33693-01.zip
Archive: V33693-01.zip
inflating: README.txt
inflating: cellImageMaker_11.2.3.2.0_LINUX.X64_120713-1.x86_64.tar
[root@cell ~]# tar -pxvf cellImageMaker_11.2.3.2.0_LINUX.X64_120713-1.x86_64.tar
dl180......
在dl180/boot/cellbits下找到cell.bin文件。这个bin文件实际上是一个zip压缩包， 我们使用unzip来对它进行解压：
[root@cell ~]# unzip cell.bin
Archive: cell.bin
warning [cell.bin]: 6408 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
(attempting to process anyway)
inflating: cell-11.2.3.2.1_LINUX.X64_130109-1.x86_64.rpm
inflating: jdk-1_5_0_15-linux-amd64.rpm
解压后得到cell-11.2.3.2.1_LINUX.X64_130109-1.x86_64.rpm和jdk-1_5_0_15-linux-amd64.rpm两个rpm包
我们先来安装jdk：
[root@cell ~]# rpm -ivh jdk-1_5_0_15-linux-amd64.rpm
然后再安装cell：
[root@cell ~]# rpm -ivh cell-11.2.3.2.1_LINUX.X64_130109-1.x86_64.rpm
安装的时候报错，提示有LWP包依赖，这是因为默认没有安装perl-libwww-perl导致的，但是这个包的依赖较多，推荐使用yum进行安装。
配置好yum源， 直接使用yum安装LWP:
[root@cell ~]# yum install perl-libwww-perl
再次安装cell，再一次提示错误，前提条件不满足。
不过具体是什么前提条件不满足没有提示，rpm包管理就是这点不方便。只能通过以下方式生成具体的检查条件的脚本， 然后再分析是什么条件不满足：
[root@cell ~]# rpm --scripts -qp cell-11.2.3.2.1_LINUX.X64_130109-1.x86_64.rpm >>diag.log
打开diag.log，很快看到应该是/var/log/oracle目录不存在导致检查的前提条件通不过，于是手工建立这个目录， 并修改权限为775。
[root@cell ~]# mkdir -p /var/log/oracle
[root@cell ~]# chmod -R 775 /var/log/oracle
再次安装cell这次没有报错。
接下来的步骤应该是在cell虚拟机中建立对应的虚拟的磁盘和闪盘:
[root@cell ~]# mkdir -p /opt/oracle/cell/disks/raw
[root@cell ~]cd /opt/oracle/cell/disks/raw
[root@cell ~]vi dd.sh
[root@cell ~]cat dd.sh
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk01 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk02 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk03 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk04 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk05 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk06 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk07 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk08 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk09 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk10 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk11 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk12 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=FLASH01 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=FLASH02 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=FLASH03 bs=1M count=1000
dd if=/dev/zero of=FLASH04 bs=1M count=1000
执行dd.sh创建对应的磁盘和闪盘：其中磁盘12块，每块大小为1GB，闪盘4块，没块大小也是1GB。
[root@cell raw]# chmod 660 *
[root@cell raw]# ls -ltr

-rw-rw---- 1 root root 1048576000 May 16 16:28 FLASH04
然后删除dd脚本，切换到celladmin用户，重新启动celld服务。
[root@cell ~]# su - celladmin
[celladmin@cell ~]$ cellcli -e alter cell restart services all
发现cellsrv服务无法启动，查看/opt/oracle/cell11.2.3.2.1_LINUX.X64_130109/log/diag/asm/cell/cell/trace/alert.log发现有类似如下的报错信息：
CELLSRV version=11.2.3.2.1,label=OSS_11.2.3.2.1_LINUX.X64_130109,Wed_Jan__9_06:09:48_PST_2013
Non critical error DIA-48913 caught while writing to trace file "/opt/oracle/cell11.2.3.2.1_LINUX.X64_130109/log/diag/asm/cell/cell/trace/svtrc_2244_0.trc"
Error message: DIA-48913: Writing into trace file failed, file size limit [0] reached
从错误号就可以判断应该是最大文件数不足， 于是需要再修改操作系统的最大文件数限制：
在/etc/sysctl.ctl最后添加一行： fs.file-max = 65536，然后刷新生效：
[root@cell ~]# sysctl -p
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 2
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
kernel.sysrq = 0
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
kernel.msgmnb = 65536
kernel.msgmax = 65536
kernel.shmmax = 68719476736
kernel.shmall = 4294967296
fs.file-max = 65536
在/etc/security/limit.conf文件最后添加两行：
* soft nofile 65536
* hard nofile 65536
然后退出重新登录， 切换到 celladmin，使用ulimit -a进行查看是否生效：
[root@cell ~]# ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 0
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 11999

stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 11999
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks (-x) unlimited
再次启动cell所有的服务：
[celladmin@cell ~]$ cellcli -e alter cell restart services all
这次发现cell下的cellsrv, ms, rs服务都可以正常启动了。
接下来需要在cellinit.ora中添加网卡的信息：
[celladmin@cell ~]$ cellcli -e create cell cell1 interconnect1=eth0
执行成功以后，可以看到cellinit.ora文件中添加了一行ipaddress1=192.168.56.101/24类似的信息。
[root@cell config]# cat /opt/oracle/cell/cellsrv/deploy/config/cellinit.ora
#CELL Initialization Parameters

SSL_PORT=23943
JMS_PORT=9127
BMC_SNMP_PORT=162
ipaddress1=192.168.56.101/24
接下来创建celldisk, griddisk, flashcache, flashlog:
[celladmin@cell ~]$ cellcli
