Here Im go to demonstate three tier EBS 12.1.1 installation on Linux platform. As concern We need to prepare three linux machines (WEB Server + Application + Database Server). Step 1: Download Software and Stage Creation : From https://edelivery.oracle.com/

Stage Creation :
The installation file system must contain a directory, StageR12, into which the downloaded files will be unzipped. The file structure under that top-level directory will be automatically created when the files are unzipped. $ cd /u01 $ mkdir StageR12 $ cd /u01/download $ unzip -d /u01/StageR12 <ZipFile> More Detail about stage creation

Using Electronic Delivery With Rapid Install in Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 406138.1] Step 2:

Prerequisites After prepared three Linux machine. On each machine, you need to accomplish some prerequisites before installation start. Copy the Stage on each machine (Three Linux machine). Here I showed all pre-requisites for installation for Database Server machine as same like you need to configure all pre-requisites on remaining two

[root@erpproddb ~]# /sbin/sysctl p DNS Resolver parameters

Two Domain Name System (DNS) resolver parameters (timeout and attempts) are set by default to low values when the operating system is installed. These low values may cause attempted network connections to an Oracle database to fail. If this happens, add or update the following entries to these minimum settings in the /etc/resolv.conf file on each server node: [root@erpproddb ~]# vi /etc/resolv.conf

options timeout:15 options timeout:15 Edit Hosts file like, here we need to add three server ipaddress and domain name service.
Edit Host Service

[root@erpproddb ~]# vi /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
