Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat 7.3

I am about to embark on an application upgrade. Currently, it runs on HP-UX (extortionate hardware prices) but I'm wanting to move to a Dell PowerEdge platform running Linux.
The problem that I have is that my prefered platform the PE2600 ships with Red Hat 7.3, whereas my application vendor ships the application with Oracle 8.1.7, which (they tell me) is certified on Red Hat 7.1 but not on 7.3.
So as far as I see it, either I attempt the application installation with RH 7.3 and hope for the best with regards to the App/Oracle (the supplier "...would support on a best efforts basis and would not support any issues they could not reproduce on Red Hat version 7.1"). Or I try to obtain a copy of RH7.1 and hope that it runs OK on the PE2600 (device drivers etc.).
Any experiences of either running Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat 7.3 or running Red Hat 7.1 on a PowerEdge 2600 (maybe not really this forum) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary Cooper

Are you ever going to call Oracle, RedHat, or HP for support? If so, I say go with the suggested options. If you need high end performance, go with RedHat Advanced Server 2.1 and Oracle 9.2.0.1.

Installing Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2. But when I run the runInstaller
command it gives the following error & quit.
[oracle@localhost cdrom]$ ./runInstaller
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad address
And I tried to run the Installer with jre1.1.6 & jre 1.1.7. Both producing the same
error.
You may think why I'm using the old version of Oracle. It's an urgent need for
me at the moment.
Hope someone could guide me in the correct path to install.
Thx in advance.

Khalid,
This combination is strongly not recommended. Oracle 8.0.5 was built with GNU Lib C 2.0, which is 2 generations ago. It will not work once installed and I do not know if the old glibc compatibility libraries would be available.
I would encourage you to use Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0.1) or wait a few days for Oracle 9i.

Problem installing Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

Hi,
Due to a software requirement, I have to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. (I know Oracle 8.0.5 is pretty old and so as RH Linux 7.0 but that is what required).
I downloaded the Oracle8051EE_Intel.tgz from Oracle and tried to installed it but it didn't work.
It crashed out when it tried to run some of the SQL script during the installation using SVRMGRL. Later on, we found out all the binaries under $ORACLE_HOME/bin were corrupted during the installation. We did a comparison of the size of SVRMGRL and SQLPLUS and they are different from the Stage (or the one from the .tgz).
Does anyone have this problem before? Will 8.0.5 works on Linux 7.0?
Thanks in advanced for any help.
Best regards,
William

I'm having the same exact problem. The link you have provided
seems to be a bad link. I would really appreciate it alot if you
could help get us through this first step of starting the oracle

Thank you very much

Make sure you are using a compatible version of Java and the glibc is correct.
RH9 came in 2 versions - boxed and downloaded. The Boxed version was older and was compatible with Oracle 8.1.7, but the downloaded one upgraded the glibc and broke everything.
Not sure why you are trying to install obsolete versions of both the OS and the database, but - expect challenges, and expect that very few people (if anyone) are knowledgeable, or even interested, in that combination.
But if you insist ... http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Oracle8i_release_3_%288.1.7%29_on_RedHat_9 will give some advice on the downloaded RH9. Good luck.

Installing Oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux

Hi,
I am new with Linux Os and have to install oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux Os for a customer. So before proceeding, I need some guidelines.
1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setup
Regards
Edited by: user640001 on Feb 25, 2011 5:44 AM

1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?Ordinarily, I'd recommend getting Oracle Linux (http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux) because the default install includes all the prerequisite RPM packages you will need. And failing that, also offers another RPM package "oracle-validated" which will cause the installation of the necessary prerequisites.
But... you mentioned customer: if this is a revenue-producing situation and customer money is at stake, I strongly recommend they obtain commercial O/S support with either Oracle, Red Hat, or maybe SuSE/Novell. Compared to the cost of a downed business, an O/S support arrangement is cheap, cheap, cheap.
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?Sure. You can run Oracle VirtualBox on most Linux, Windows, or Solaris boxes. http://VirtualBox.org for info.
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?No real differences in either environment.
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setupWhat, you didn't try http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux yet?

Oracle 10g database installation in red hat 5

what are the packages needed for oracle 10g database installation in red hat 5?
what do you mean by yum way of installation?

Check on the release notes for your platform
This is for x86-64 Linux.. read it all, then you'll find the "6 Documentation Corrections and Additions" section you'll find the RPMs that you need
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b15666/toc.htm
then go to the official doc installation of 10gR2 on x86-64 Linux
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/toc.htm
Yum is a package management tool. This is what you'll be using to install the RPMs. But first you'll have to setup the Yum repository, usually what I do is stage the DVD media on the server then make it as a repository. If ever there's a specific (higher) version that I need then I just pull it on the RedHat Network.
There are a lot of HOWTOs about Yum. You may read on this link http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/en/

There are 2 things that need to be done prior to running the runInstaller program. As the user "root" type "xhost +localhost" (without the quotes). You may also use the TCP/IP address instead of using "localhost". Now, as the Oracle user type "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0", then issue the command runInstaller.

Installing Oracle Database 10g on Linux Red Hat 5.1

While inslalling Oracle Database 10g Client Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86-64 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga) we've got an error
Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
Failed <<<<
Could we install Oracle Database 10g on Linux Red Hat 5.1 or we need only Oracle Database 11g?

Verify that the redhat-release RPM is installed on your Red Hat system:
rpm -q redhat-release
This RPM is important for RHEL since RHEL AS 4, RHEL AS 3, and RHEL AS 2.1 are Linux releases supported by Oracle. Without this RPM, Oracle 10g OUI won't be able to recognize it as a supported OS. However, the installer of 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release yet. This means that you will have to edit the /etc/redhat-release file. You also have to change /etc/redhat-release for unsupported releases like Fedora Core and RH9.
I do not recommend to execute "runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs" since this will disable other checks you probably don't want to.
On RHEL AS 4 (for 10g R1), RH9, and FC 1 you have to change the /etc/redhat-release file to make Oracle 10g believe it's running on a supported release.
Regarding RHEL AS 4, the installer for 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release but 10g R2 OUI does.
To change the /etc/redhat-release file, you can simply copy/paste the following commands:
su - root
cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig
cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
EOF
After you are done with the Oracle10g installation, undo the changes you made to /etc/redhat-release:
su - root
cp /etc/redhat-release.orig /etc/redhat-release

Oracle 8.1.6 on Red Hat 7.1

Hello,
I have a problem instaling a Oracle 8.1.6 on a old machine
running RH 7.1.
I read all the comments in this group concernig the question
about the JRE, the need to place assume_kernel=2.2.5 and to run
the /i386-...env.sh script.
I also have all the compatibility packages installed.
And it does not seem to work!
I still get a linking problem during instalation and even with
those errors the instaler assumes the instalation is sussefull.
Is there someone that can tell me what to do step-by-step to
install a oracle 8.1.6 (not other 8.1.7!) in a Red Hat 7.1
installation?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Pedro

I could not get back to this discussion group before. I apolagize
for that, but as I mentioned in the previous message my problem
is a linking one:
I have follow the step metioned in several discussions in this
group, namely:
I have installed the compatibility libraries:
compat-glibc
compat-egcs
compat-libs
Set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL= 2.2.5
run the environment script ./usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386
...-en.sh
The runinstaller program run ok has metioned previously but it
gives me errors during linking:
After copying the necessary files and all that initial
instalation work the linking phase runs smootly, it even link
correctly several Oracle tools like Oracle intermedia, Oracle
net8 client, and so on.
When the Oracle 8i server linking the problems start.
All errors are like this:
-> Error invoking target install of makefile
And the afected makefiles are numerous:
/OraHome1/network/lib/ins_net_server.mk
/OraHome1/network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk
/OraHome1/ldap/lib/ins_ldap.mk
/OraHome1/odg/lib/ins_odg.mk
/OraHome1/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk
Yes, the famous ctx is also giving me problems.
Moreover:The mentiones target .c files refered to in the makefile
script are all in their places!
I do not know what is happenig in this instalation.
Any clue?
Best regards,
Pedro
Note:
I also tried to cover for the ld and gcc linker and compiler to
make sure they are the right version as is mentioned in another
thread... same thing!

Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat Linux on a Dell Poweredge

We have a Dell PowerEdge 6400 server with PERC 2/DC raid
controllers.
We have installed Red Hat Linux 6.2.
According to the installation guide in order to install Oracle
8.1.7 we need to recompile the Kernal to get to version 2.2.19-
6.2.7.
Recompiling the Kernal causes a failure in the Raid controllers.
I realise that this isn't strictly Oracle but I wondered if
anyone had met this problem before. It appears virtually
impossible to configure this combination to support Oracle.

Yes there is a lot of information out there. Oracle 8.1.6,
8.1.7, 9 on Linux 6, 7, 9.
Which glibc? binutils? compat-libs?
For 8.1.7 on Redhat 9
Please try: http://www3.sympatico.ca/arothmel/oracle/817.html
Still evolving. Feedback welcome :)
