Next click on plus sign (+) second partition is /data of 35 GiB then click add mount point
Next allocate 5 GiB of SWAP memory(acts as secondary RAM when RAM is not sufficient to process Data due to heavy operations ) and click add mount point
Table : Recommended Swap Space Requirements
Next boot(whenever system starts needs some memory )partition of 1 GiB then click add mount point
Next partition is /tmp (server performs temporary operations like copying,pasting first in /tmp directory and then send to destination ) give space of 5 GiB
Still 4GiB space is available so we can
We can add this up to our root partition so increase from 30 Gib to 33 Gib in our case here so modify and save
More 1Gib space is left we can leave as it is
Click on done
Next click on Accept changes
Now next its asking us what’s the hostname name every machine or server will have a hostname so click on network and hostname and
Here we give hostname as prime.oracle.com

——-Our oracle linux server installation is completed here ———–
Next the first thing what we have to do is take the remote of this machine using a software which which we have already install and that is called putty
For this to happen we need to perform some networking operations as a root user
Disable firewall to connect putty to remote server
systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl disable firewalld
First two network adapter
Click on VM –> Setting
Add Two adapter
1) NAT – > Assign the NAT adapter -> CUSTOME with NAT
2)BRIDGE Adapter
Click on Edit – > Virtual network Editor. NAT adapter need to be assign with following IP
Go Inside vmware and click on power button then click on setting symbol
Ens33 needs to be assign with dynamic ip and ens37 need to be assign with static ip
ens33 looks like below
ens37 setting as below
Both ethernet ens33 and ens37 need to be connected. Make sure you select automatic on option from ethernet setting
Restart server and validate all setting saved properly
Open vmware linux terminal and fire below command.
init 6
Open putty and enter the IP address 192.168.0.120 and also so other setting of putty
Increase line of scrolling
Select Change font size when maximize
Click on ssh click on x11
Click on enable x11 forwarding
And enter X display Location to localhost:0
Click on session
Give name in saved session as weekend Batch
Click on save
And click on open
Click on open
Accept
Enter the username as root and password
The putty seems hanging
So in order to get the prompt fast we need to disable dns service which it is looking for here
Go to vmware vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and disable use DNS
Now the prompt appears faster after disabling dns
And you can verify the settings using linux commands
Hope it helps
