Installation of Solaris 8 (x86 Platform Edition

Hi guys,
I have downloaded the Solaris 8 for intel version and burnt them into CDs. (3 CDs). I tried to download the Solaris (x86 Platform Edition) Device Configuration Assistant Boot Diskette, but instead of downloading, it opens in another Internet explorer window. I tried pressing shift while downloading, that doesn't work. And also I tried to boot using the Solaris installation CD for installing, it says cannot boot from CDROM. Please help me. How can I proceed with installation?
With regards,
Amin

Well I had undergone the same problem, what I did was then use Netscape Enterprise Browser, and there is worked just fine, and was able to save the file onto my pc, without it being opening in an another window, so if possible use Netscape Browser and try and see what happens. Hope this helps you.

Does IBM eServer support Solaris (Intel Platform Edition) ???

Hi Friends,
Does anyone know whether IBM eServer supports Solaris (Intel Platform Edition) or not ?
Anyone has succeeded to install it before ???
Many Thanks.

I'm sure that Oracle8i server supports Solaris Intel Platform and Oracle9i doesn't support Solaris Intel Platform at this moment as I know.

Oracle 10G release 1 only support up to Solaris 9.
You probably need to install 10G release 2. The second release of major Oracle version is always more stable anyway.

Does Oracle 8i or 9i server support solaris X86 platform ?

Can i install the Oracle 8i or 9i server on a intel PIII machine ?

I'm sure that Oracle8i server supports Solaris Intel Platform and Oracle9i doesn't support Solaris Intel Platform at this moment as I know.

Installation Solaris8 on x86 platform

I am trying to instal Solaris8 on intel machine. After opting installation method interective, it says loading kernel and then does nothing and goes back to beginning and start installing again. I tried several times but does not go beyond this.
Please help me. I downloaded configuration assistant on line.
Thanks

I hope you don't try to install an old release of Solaris 8 x86 on a system with a pentium 4 cpu. There's a known
problem with a Solaris 8 kernel panic on Pentium 4 cpus.
Use the latest Solaris 8 release, or use Solaris 9 x86.

Agent for Solaris x86

Does anyone have any info about the availability of an agent(preferably 10.2.0.5) for solaris x86 platforms? I was able to find a document referencing a 10.2.0.2 version but nothing else.

Oracle InstantClient for Solaris x86

Hi,
Do you Oracle oracles foresee Instant Client upgrades for the Solaris x86 platform? It seems to be stuck at 10.1.0.3.
I ask because we just picked up four Oracle CPU licenses, installed RAC, and hoped to put all of our apps on those nifty AMD Opteron-based boxes that Sun is manufacturing these days.
Thanks!

Oracle never released a 9i port for Solaris on x86; There is however full
support (including a 64 bit version) of 10G

Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

Hello,
Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:
1. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/rman_scripts
2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking
4. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/c_backup
5. $ sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba
6. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 50G scope=both;
7. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='${ ORACLE_BASE}/flash_recovery_ area' scope=both;
8. SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_10='location= use_db_recovery_file_dest';
9. SQL> shutdown immediate
10. SQL> startup nomount
11. SQL> alter database archivelog;
12. SQL> alter database open;
13. SQL> alter database enable block change tracking using file '${ORACLE_BASE}/tracking/rman_ change_track.f';
14. $ rman target /
15. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK
TO '/var/opt/oracle/flash_ recovery_area/ORCL/c_backup/% F';
16. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
17. RMAN> CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
18. RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
19. RMAN> exit
I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
I have following questions:
1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
=============================================================================================
2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
=============================================================================================
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/10.2.0/db_1
PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/usr/bin
LOGDIR=${ORACLE_BASE}/logs
LOGFILE=${LOGDIR}/rman.log
if [[ $# < 1 ]]
then
echo "usage: backup.sh FULL|INCREMENTAL"
exit;
fi
BACKUPTYPE=${1}
full='FULL'
incremental='INCREMENTAL'
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $full ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $incremental ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
backup incremental level 1 database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi

Hi [email protected],
Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
A3) No see A2.

Tycho

WLP 10.2 on Solaris 10 for x86 platform

We wish to run WebLogic Portal 10.2 using Solaris 10 for the x86 platform, but discovered that this configuration is not supported by BEA. Does this mean it will not work? If it work, what is the risks using it in a production environment?
Thanks.

My intention is to:
        Restore backup tapes that in the sun v440(sunos5.9 for sparc)on the sap data backup.
        solaris11 for x86 (in vmware)do with the resumption of tests.
         use sap With a version that sunos_64 for sparc,Feasible?
No.
SunOS SPARC is a BigEndian platform whereas SunOS on X64 is LittleEndian, you won´t be able to restore the backup there.
See note 552464 - What is Big Endian / Little Endian? What Endian do I have?
On top of that, there´s no database installation for Solaris x64 for 6.40 versions.

Java Bug 4838130:

suggests to trace the problem by running the java application with JAVA2D_DEBUGFONTS defined, so try
env JAVA2D_DEBUGFONTS=1 smc
The bug report also documents a workaround: Set the environment variable JAVA_FONTS to

OCS 10.1.2 on Solaris 10 x86 Platform

Can any one tell me whether OCS 10.1.2 supports Solaris 10 x86 Platform?
On the download page it says;
Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 32-bit)
But we all know SPARC is 64-bit. Can someone clarify this.
Thanks!
Ravin

Hi,
Yes - that's a little confusing; Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g is certified on a 64b Solaris SPARC. (The story behind the 32b is a long one, but it's related to client libraries vs. database servers and how 32b/64b liibraries are distinguished).
To answer your real question, though, No - it's not supported on Solaris x86.
