I have some sample code for oracle install that may be of use.
One of the main tasks was that I used fpm to create a rpm file of existing
oracle install.
I did handle the oratab but only to create a fact of known databases on
that system.

Give me about 24 hours to post my work.

I’ve asked a similar question on the Puppet Users group, but thought it
might be good to get a view on how Foreman could be used to achieve the
following.
We’re looking to use Puppet to manage out Oracle DB server and relevant DB
instance configuration.
I’ve got an idea on how to handle the install of Oracle and the relevant
req fulfilment.
However what I’m not sure of is how to manage the instance specific
configuration. This includes things like the /etc/oratab file,
/etc/oranfstab (as we’re using dNFS), various NFS mounts that make up a
given database, and a few other bits and pieces…
We’re also likely to be needing to support multiple databases instances on
a given host.
My initial thoughts are to use Hiera or similar to manage the multiple
configuration instances. However could Foreman go in Hiera’s place?
Foreman would also be a bit easier for the DBA’s to get used to, versus
the flat files for hiera config.
Thoughts or suggestions welcome.
And thanks in advance for any responses.
Regards
Gavin

Yep, there's a RPM in the OEL 6 yum repos called
'oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall', which as you suggest handles all
the package dependencies, plus user creation, sysctl setup etc… However
we've got a few more settings that need to be tweaked following that that
are NetApp env specific…
As I see it, the install of Oracle is the easy bit - What's going to be
challenging is creating actual DB instances, along with all the NFS stuff,
ora*tab stuff, etc…
Cheers
