Oracle 8i installation on RedHat Linux 7.3

Hi,
I'm having a tough time installing Oracle 8i Ent Ed on Redhat Linux 7.3.
At first it was giving me this error and nothing else :
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait...
Now, after I read many How-tos and did
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
its starts the installer runs for some time but always just vanishes after selecting
Typical Installation, processing gows upto 84% and then just....vanished.
What m I missing?
I've done the following:
Installed
compat-glibc
compat-egcs
compat-libtdc++
compat-libs
from CD 2 of linux 7.3 (6.2 compatibility) as some How-tos suggested.
also installed jre 1.1.8 from www.blackdown.org
now what do i do? please help me as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance..

Joel,
I am new to this company. This is my first year here, from last one and half year my company was trying to migrate from Informix to Oracle. After I joined I came to know that my predecessor started the project on 8i and left the project half way thru. Then I took over the project and completed the migration from Informix to Oracle. My company spent awful lot of money on this project due to lack technical know how and mislead by the technology staff who has no knowledge of oracle or UNIX (they are bunch of old NCR and Cobol guys here). So bottom line is if I submit a proposal to my boss of upgrading from 8i to 9i or 10g, which I will, probably won't be happy to see. But on the other hand we will loose support and left with no choice, I can only say that I am sorry for them.
Anyway, this is just a part of disorganized IT shop we have here, it needs a major facelift, and I am just pushing one at a time. Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate.

Oracle 8i Installation on Redhat Linux AS 3.0

Hi guys,
I am just doing some home work before installation of Oracle 8i Enterprise server on Redhat Linux AS 3.0. Before I started my work on this, I planned to install 8i on AIX 5L, which was a bad idea. Because 8i being a 32bit db and 5L being 64bit kernel, and also this combination is not supported. But with little tweeking and installing few patches, things should work.
Anyway, I would like to know, if any of you have installed 8i on RH Linux AS 3.0, and do any of you think I need to worry about 32 & 64 bit? I am installing this combination on Compaq PL 6500 server, will there be any problem, because PL 6500 is 32 bit processor? Please pass on any information which can help me in a proper installtion, Thanks in Advance

Problem installing Oracle 8.05 on Redhat Linux 7.1

Problem installing Oracle 9.2 on RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0

Hi everyone,
As the subject line says, I tried installing Oracle 9.2 on
RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0, strictly following instructions
written by Werner Puschitz
(http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml). Both
attempts failed with identical symptoms:
- the installer asks for Disk 2
- after the disk is inserted, it hangs. It turns out that
kernel is writing messages similar to these in
/var/log/messages:
Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: 16:00: rw=0, want=317696, limit=149920
Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
Unless interrupted, this continues until the /tmp filesystem gets full.
Has anyone experienced this? I haven't been able to find
an explanation so far.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Ljubomir Buturovic

Providing a thread-bare configuration of your machine on which you are trying to install Oracle on Linux (and mind you - which kernel/distro, coz that's important) would definitely help you elicit more responses to your messages.

Help! to set up Oracle 9i RAC on Redhat Linux 8.0

hello,
we are setting up Oracle 9i RAC on Redhat Linux 8.0.
The problem we are having is at the point of sharing the raw partition and mounting the raw partition via nfs.
so we have two dell systems called linuxa and linuxb.
the partitions are made on linuxa (/dev/hda6...) and the raw command is used to bind the raw partition to the device (raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/hda6)
now when i run the command to mount
(mount -tnfs linuxa:/dev/raw/raw1 /mnt) i am getting an error
i know this problem isn't directly related with oracle but the whole point in doing this is to install oracle 9i on a shared device between the two system.
i have looked online everywhere for documentation and haven't come up with anything.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
sara

I don't know that you can use nfs to share a raw partition. This also defeats the idea of the cluster - If a host dies, the disk storage must still be viewable from the other node.
The raw device must be viewable to both hosts. Oracle controls which host is writing to the disk at any instant.
Use the firewire method or use two scsi cards (terminated, with different scsi id's) to a SHARED scsi disk (unterminated).
This works, I have it running here on 2 PC's with Redhat 7.3. The SCSI disk sits in its own external box between the two PC's. NFS is not used at any stage.

Oracle firewire modules for Redhat Linux 2.6.9-34.EL

Hi,
I need oracle firewire modules for Redhat Linux 2.6.9-34.EL. Can you please help where can I find firewire modules for this kernel.
Thanks
Haranath

According to http://www.linux1394.org/download.php you should not need any additional kernel module support. You may need to install the libraw1394 RPM packages, but you can get those from your distribution media or from ULN, if your are subscribed.

Hi ,
     First of all please check availability of your OS + DB requiremnts whether it is supported by SAP or not.You can check this at Product Availability Matrix at ::
http://service.sap.com/pam
     If this support for your environment i.e.RedHat Linux 5.2 with Oracle 10G then be informed that after starting sapinst in step create database it will prompt you for installing your oracle DB. So open a new window & install your databse ,do the patching of your DB & then continue with sapinst after successfull installation of oracle.Rest of details sapinst will prompot you during instal;lation.
    Hope this will guide you for your query.
Thanks..

it give me error oracle not available or end-of-file on communication channel
2:- SVRMGRL while connection as internal/oracle and tried to create database it give me error like
ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE

Hi
At windows You must create a service to hadle oracle threads. On linux this is not working in same way, You do not need a "service" to bind thread or process to it.
simple set environment variables
and start sqlpus session with create database command, and so on.
Maybe You should read oracle admin guide for linux.

How can I enable trace log in Oracle Database 10g ( in RedHat Linux)

Dear Forums Members,
Could u plz drop a message about how can I enable $Oracle_Home/network/trace
in Oracle Database 10g (Operating system is RedHat Linux Advanced Server 3).
I will very greatful if someone reply my message.
Thanks
Aungshu

To enable Tracing for a session Level.
ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER = 'my_trace_id';
Enable the SQL Trace facility for the session by using one of the following:
SQL> Exec DBMS_SESSION.SET_SQL_TRACE
or
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE = TRUE;
To disable the SQL Trace facility for the session, enter:
ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE = FALSE;
To enable Tracing for a database level.
Edit init parameter SQL_TRACE = TRUE.
Its not recomended because running the SQL Trace facility increases system overhead, enable it only when tuning SQL statements, and disable it when you are finished

How can I install Oracle database 9i on Redhat linux with OFA

Hello,
From the Unix installation guide:
Note: The Oracle Universal Installer supports, but does not require, OFA. The preconfigured database included with the Database installation type of Oracle9i database is created under a single mount point and is, therefore, not OFA-compliant.
So my question is how to install dabase with OFA structure. I have read the DOCs for OFA, but I still can not understand. I mean, within Oracle Universal Installer, is there some option allow me to support OFA?
Thanks a lot,
Grace

Why IBM said that their 64-bit server can run both 32-bit and 64-bit application in the same time?Because the CPU itself is capable of running both: 32-bit and 64-bit.
In order to do so you need a 64-bit operating system to run 64-bit binaries.
If you use LPARs you can partition your pSeries to have multiple partitions each running a copy of AIX. So you can run 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems at the same time if needed.
But as already pointed out i recommend to use 64-bit because most 32-bit applications will run without problems.
