On the Firewall Configuration panel click on the Disable button and then the Firewall disabled should look like this: The Firewall is accessible via System(top left)>Administration>Firewall So we have two solutions: Solution 1 – Switch-off the OracleOS Firewall altogether This is a tricky step that we didn’t need to perform 2 years ago on that flavour of OracleOS that was hosting 11gR2.īasically the OracleOS Firewall is activated by default. Step 5b: Making Oracle DB visible – Firewall If by default it is disabled it might need a kick to connect and as long as your Host OS has Internet connectivity it will connect without issues: On the top right of the VM there should be an icon denoting Internet connectivity on the VM. Starting up the VM is as easy as inserting oracle/ oracle when we are prompted for username/password:Ĭlick here for an older version of the picture above installing version 11gR2 Step 5a: Making Oracle DB visible – Internet Connectivity Update: In the picture above as mentioned in the previous section the name should be “OTN_Developer_Day_VM.ova” and the size ~ 5.22GB.Ĭlick here for an older version of the picture above installing version 11gR2Īfter the import gets completed we are ready to start the VM:
Then we make it point to the VM file we’ve just downloaded: Our host OS is apparently Mac OS and the guest VM is Oracle Linux 5 which is a branch off Red Hat Linux.įrom the VirtualBox Menu we select File > Import Appliance And of course it sports the latest Oracle 12cR1 DB along with the latest SQL Developer 4. The difference is that the size of the file now spans ~ 5.22GB and has been prefixed with “OTN_” in the name. Update: This is still the go-to place to get the OVA file. Various walkthroughs and other interesting tutorials are loaded-up on the VM awaiting to be discovered but all we care about is the Oracle 11gR2 DB which will be by default up and running when the VM is loaded into memory.

The ova VM file is big ~4G so better start the download process on a browser that has an integrated download manager like Firefox if you have a slow connection or are frequently experiencing dropped connections.Īpparently this VM has been initially created for a developer’s workshop but gets frequently updated with the latest and greatest of Oracle Client, Oracle SQL Developer and other tools. This is the download page and the download instructions are clear. Update: Currently VirtualBox is 4.3.10 and doesn’t seem any different.
All we have to do is grab our x86 version (assuming an Intel CPU) for Mac from the official download page. This is as simple as any other installation on a Mac. Also the majority of passwords on the VM have been setup by default to oracle and should be changed for obvious security reasons. * General Note: As the creators suggest Oracle XE should be used for testing purposes only.

This is old news and although VirtualBox is well documented I haven’t again found a single resource that is describing the process from top to bottom for my setup which is a Macbook Pro using WiFi therefore this detailed tutorial. The people at Oracle have acknowledged this problem and have provided a neat solution abstracting all the complicated noise, packing up all the required tools and needed configurations in a single image file readily to be hosted as a VM in VirtualBox. I have to admit that this long-winded process gets too complicated for my taste and patience.

I have yet to find a consistent resource online of how to natively install the database and I have also tried my hands on binaries compilation and package transfers along all the previous versions with various, inconsistent results.
Official support was dropped from 10g onwards around the early days of Mac OS X and since then there has been endless questions online of how to go about later versions like Leopard (10.5), Snow Leopard (10.6), Lion (10.7), Mountain Lion (10.8) or Mavericks (10.9). Installing Oracle DB on any Mac OS version is not an easy task. Now it has been revised for the latest Oracle 12cR1 DB. Update: This guide has been originally written 2 years ago describing Oracle 11gR2 DB installation.
