操作系统信息：
[root@goolen goolen]# cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago)
Kernel \r on an \m

[root@goolen goolen]# uname -a
Linux goolen 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 13 18:24:36 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

创建用户和组 gpadmin 
[root@goolen goolen]# groupadd -g 3030 gpadmin
[root@goolen goolen]# useradd -u 3030 gpadmin -g gpadmin -d /home/gpadmin
[root@goolen goolen]# passwd gpadmin
Changing password for user gpadmin.
New password: 
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
BAD PASSWORD: is too simple
Retype new password: 
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

配置内核参数，添加如下内容：
[root@goolen goolen]# vim /etc/sysctl.conf 
#By greenplum
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
kernel.sysrq = 1
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
kernel.msgmnb = 65536
kernel.msgmax = 65536
kernel.sem = 250 64000 100 512
kernel.shmmax = 500000000
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 4000000000
kernel.sem = 250 64000 100 512
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle=1
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog=4096
net.core.netdev_max_backlog=10000
vm.overcommit_memory=2
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1

以上参数可以根据自己系统配置做适当修改

手工执行命令，让参数生效：
[root@goolen goolen]# sysctl -p

在limits.conf文件中添加如下配置：
[root@goolen goolen]# vim /etc/security/limits.conf
* soft nofile 65536
* hard nofile 65536
* soft nproc 131072
* hard nproc 131072

修改内核参数，添加如下配置，调整IO调度算法：（重启系统才能生效）
[root@goolen goolen]# vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
elevator=deadline

设置磁盘预读，优化磁盘IO效率（重启系统才能生效）
[root@goolen ~]# vim /etc/rc.d/rc.local
blockdev --setra 16384 /dev/sd*

重启系统：
[root@goolen goolen]# reboot

Broadcast message from root@goolen
        (/dev/pts/0) at 9:34 ...

The system is going down for reboot NOW!

验证内核参数配置是否生效：
[root@goolen ~]# cat /sys/block/*/queue/scheduler
noop anticipatory deadline [cfq] 
noop anticipatory deadline [cfq]

输出的行应该含有[deadline]

验证磁盘预读预读配置：
修改前：
[root@goolen ~]# blockdev --getra /dev/sd*
256
256
256
256
256

修改后：
[root@goolen ~]# blockdev --getra /dev/sd*
16384
16384
16384
16384
16384

配置域名解析，这里是单机测试环境，我选择使用hosts来解析
[root@goolen ~]# vim /etc/hosts
10.155.20.50    goolen

配置用户ssh无密码登陆，单机环境也得配置

2，安装GP软件：
[root@goolen goolen]# ls
greenplum-db-4.3.0.0-build-3-RHEL5-x86_64.zip

解压缩安装包：
[root@goolen goolen]# unzip greenplum-db-4.3.0.0-build-3-RHEL5-x86_64.zip 
Archive:  greenplum-db-4.3.0.0-build-3-RHEL5-x86_64.zip
  inflating: README_INSTALL          
  inflating: greenplum-db-4.3.0.0-build-3-RHEL5-x86_64.bin

执行安装文件：
[root@goolen goolen]# ./greenplum-db-4.3.0.0-build-3-RHEL5-x86_64.bin

Installation complete.
Greenplum Database is installed in /usr/local/greenplum-db-4.3.0.0

创建instance需要的目录：
[root@goolen goolen]# mkdir -p /tol/master
[root@goolen goolen]# mkdir -p /tol/data/gp1  
[root@goolen goolen]# mkdir -p /tol/data/gp2 
[root@goolen goolen]# mkdir -p /tol/data/gp3 
[root@goolen goolen]# mkdir -p /tol/data/gp4

修改目录属主：
[root@goolen goolen]# chown -R gpadmin:gpadmin /usr/local/green*
[root@goolen goolen]# chown -R gpadmin:gpadmin /tol/master
[root@goolen goolen]# chown -R gpadmin:gpadmin /tol/data/gp*

Gpadmin登录：
[root@goolen goolen]# su - gpadmin

修改gpadmin用户环境配置：
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$ vim .bash_profile 
source /usr/local/greenplum-db/greenplum_path.sh
export MASTER_DATA_DIRECTORY=/data/master/gpseg-1

export PGPORT=5432
export PGUSER=gpadmin
export PGDATABASE=goolen

使其生效：
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$ . .bash_profile

编辑all_hosts_file文件，添加如下内容：
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$ vim all_hosts_file
goolen

执行如下命令验证用户等效性：
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$ gpssh-exkeys -f all_hosts_file
[STEP 1 of 5] create local ID and authorize on local host
  ... /home/gpadmin/.ssh/id_rsa file exists ... key generation skipped
[STEP 2 of 5] keyscan all hosts and update known_hosts file
[STEP 3 of 5] authorize current user on remote hosts
[STEP 4 of 5] determine common authentication file content
[STEP 5 of 5] copy authentication files to all remote hosts
[INFO] completed successfully

3，初始化系统：
编辑系统初始化的参数文件，这个文件的编辑可以使用模版，模板文件所在目录如下：
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$ cd /usr/local/greenplum-db/docs/cli_help/gpconfigs/
[gpadmin@goolen gpconfigs]$ cp gpinitsystem_config /home/gpadmin/

编辑gp参数文件，修改如下配置：
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$ vim gpinitsystem_config
declare -a DATA_DIRECTORY=(/tol/data/gp1 /tol/data/gp2 /tol/data/gp3 /tol/data/gp4)
MASTER_HOSTNAME=goolen
MASTER_DIRECTORY=/tol/master
DATABASE_NAME=goolen
注意将DATABASE_NAME 参数前边的 ‘#’ 号去掉

编辑seg_hosts_file文件：
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$ vim seg_hosts_file
goolen

执行初始化系统命令：
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$ gpinitsystem -c gpinitsystem_config -h seg_hosts_file

系统开始初始化，之后会看到如下提示：
Continue with Greenplum creation Yy/Nn>
输入 Y ，按回车，系统会初始化完成

安装结束后可以连接GP数据库了：
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$ psql -g goolen
psql: invalid option -- 'g'
Try "psql --help" for more information.
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$ psql -d goolen
psql (8.2.15)
Type "help" for help.

goolen=#

goolen=# \d
No relations found.
goolen=# 
goolen=# \q
[gpadmin@goolen ~]$

至此，GP安装完毕。
