Tape size parameter in initsid.ora file for 200/400 GB

Hi Experts,
I have a ECC 5 system running on Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with Oracle as Database.
I have installed an HP Ultrium Storageworks 460 tape drive on the server. It accepts a 200/400 GB tape cartridge.
What value should I set for the parameter tape_size in the init<sid>.ora file in F:\oracle\ora92\database folder?
The present value is default at 1200M
Is there some formula to calculate this value depending upon the tape cartridge size?
Thanks in advance,

You can check note  8707  Explanation about init<SID>.sap parameter tape_size
It is a bit old, but you can figure out the size. For example:
Tape type                    tape_size (w/o     tape_size (with 
                             hardw. compr.)     hardw. compr.)  
DLT 4000    20/40 GB     :    19000M             18000M  
Probably you can multiply it by 10 as you have a 200/400

  • Setting of init.ora file for 500 users

    how to set diffrents parameters in init.ora file
    for 500 user
    (hybrid system)(oltp+dss)
    thanks

    Yeah, it depends and you will need to adjust thoses parameters during the "life" of the database.
    I give you some of my thoughts (that's just thoughts, not a rule => there is no perfect rule) :
    500 users = Unix box i guess so :
    If MTS (dont think u need MTS for 500 users) => SGA = 75% of the RAM of the server
    If NOT MTS (dedicated processes) => SGA = 50% of the RAM
    Say 2GB of RAM on no MTS :
    buffer cache = 900 MB
    shared pool = 100MB to 200 MB
    sort_area_size = 256KB
    something like 50 to 100 RBS (depends on how many users are connected simultaneously)
    for the users which will not do some OLTP operations, you should make few BIG RBS and assign their transactions to them. for thoses users, you probably need a bigger sort_area_size.
    all the tablespaces LOCALLY MANAGED
    backup with RMAN

  • How to establish a single init.ora file for 3 node RAC under ASM

    All,
    Our environment is a combination of several different memory sized SUN machines (V880, V490 & 250R).
    Setting up a single init.ora file that encompasses each of the nodes memory into the SGA sizing is our desired setup.
    Though we have established the file, the question is getting each NODE on the RAC to use that single parameter
    file to start its database instead of taking the default init.ora file in the default (asm/dbs) directory.
    As we have performed fail-over testing, upon the restart of instances they have restarted with wrong memory
    definitions that have hung the nodes when it took more memory then what was available and swap space began
    to grow.
    Steps to configure and enable this process is what I am looking for.
    Thanks
    Gerry

    Gerry,
    Here's what we do. Not sure if it is relevant to your situation ...
    (on each node)
    $ cat $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initrac11d1.ora
    SPFILE='+DATA/rac11d/spfilerac11d.ora'
    (in ASM)
    $ asmcmd
    ASMCMD> ls -la +data/rac11d
    Type Redund Striped Time Sys Name
    Y CONTROLFILE/
    Y DATAFILE/
    Y ONLINELOG/
    Y PARAMETERFILE/
    Y TEMPFILE/
    N spfilerac11d.ora => +DATA/RAC11D/PARAMETERFILE/spfile.267.685170285
    The spfile has all parameters, qualified by node where applicable. For example :
    $ sqlplus / as sysdba

  • Init ora file for 2000 server oracle

    i'm running 9.02 on windows 2000. How do i find out which init ora file the start services is picking up. I looked it up in the registry and it wasn't obvious.
    thanks

    Hi,
    All oracle parameters registry related can be found in the book for window. If you don't see the init which is pointing to it is going to the default. Look in ORACLE_HOME\database

  • InitSID.ora file parameter

    Hi ,
       We using ECC 6.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.2 , we need to change the parameter db_cache_sie from 294 mb to 1 gb , So i edit the file and change the parameter . Then i restart the system . After restart the system i checked the parameter it will changed to 1gb . But today i just checked the parameter , it will show the old parameter 294 mb .
    So kindly tell me what is happening and tell me the solution to change the parameter .
    Regards
    Selvan

    Hi ,
        Oracle 10g always use spfile for the purpose of maintaining database parameters .So you want to make any changes then first you need to create pfile from spfile because you cannot make changes directly in spfile as its not recommended by oracle.
      So first change pfile from spfile by givind command create pfile from spfile via sql prompt .Then modify the parameter in pfile & again give command create spfile from pfile & restart your databse to make the changes effective.
    Or the best solution to change the database parameter is to change via sql prompt prompt eg::
    alter system set <parameter>=<value>  scope=spfile
    Thanks..

  • What .ora file is required for client?

    what .ora file is required on client side in order to connect to oracle database server? can we connect to db server without any .ora file? such as tnsname.ora, or even sqlnet.ora, etc.

    That depends on a variety of factors, among them
    - What version of the Oracle client you are using
    - What tool you are using to connect
    - How complex your database environment is
    - Whether you are using local naming or are using something like Oracle Internet Directory
    A basic install of the 11g thick client, for example, creates a sqlnet.ora file for you that enables the EZConnect syntax. Assuming your tool supports EZConnect, and your database configurations are simple enough to be able to use the EZConnect syntax, no additional configuration would be required. If you are using a tool to connect to Oracle that uses the thin JDBC driver, you need no client-side configuration-- your tool will prompt you for a JDBC URL (or information to generate a JDBC URL) that connects to the database.
    On the other hand, in most cases, you generally want to configure a tnsnames.ora file on the client.

  • Ora Failsafe init SID .ora file placement

    Hi.
    I had to move some datafiles to a new storage on a box with Ora 8i using Oracle Failsafe for high availability.
    Everythin was fine on one node and I did not move the group after the maintanance procedures.
    Next day I noticed that the <ora_home>\database\init<SID>.ora files tha I updated on node 1 was not in <ora_home>\database\ on node 2.
    I have the following questions:
    1 - When I use Oracle Failsafe, do init files must be placed on local disks on both nodes? Having pfile only on one node is the correct configuration
    2 - on my configuration, if cluster failover from to node 1 to node 2, will it work?
    Thanks in advande.
    Alex

    On both nodes oracle db services for the same DB managed by failsafe have the same name. e.g. On node 1 I have OracleServiceXPTO service and on node 2 I also have OracleServiceXPTO.
    So, I think that on both nodes SID are the same for the same virtual DB on failsafe.
    Do I really must change instance_name on initSID.ora files, so on both nodes this parameter is different between them?

  • Tnsnames.ora file location in WIndows 7

    I just installed Oracle XE 10g on my PC running windows 7. I was told that the tnsnames.ora file was located in C:\XEClient\Network\Admin, however i see no such folder in my XE CLient folder.
    Any Ideas?

    As long as the oracle install has completed OK and set your environment, a cmd box tnsping should reveal the location the %ORACLE_HOME% is using for client setup
    Hit Start/Run and type in cmd (does that work in Win7? Or is it the the PowerShell icon) to get to a command line prompt:
    $ tnsping anyname

  • The importance of SQLnet.ora file

    DB version:10gR2

    #SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME=700
    # New parameter for 10.2
    #SQLNET_INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=120I have two questions
    1. If you were asked to set the parameters for SQLNET.ora file for an OLTP database, what would your settings be?
    2. Is it absolutely necessary to have an SQLNET.ora file in a 'production quality' Database?
    Edited by: Citizen_2 on Feb 18, 2009 2:59 AM
    Corrected the spelling of SQLnet.ora in subject line

    Hi,
    SQLNET.ORA can be used for different purposes,
    first to identify the method to connect from client like tnsnames
    Second it can be used to bypass the network layer by setting the parameter automatic_ipc=on
    Third, we can set to check the client whether its active after certain interval.
    If sqlnet.ora is not there, then it will take the default values.

  • Can't find init file for Database

    Hi,
    I just installed 9i R2 on Redhat 7.3 and when I create a database with dbca, the db is created and up running fine. However, when I shut the db down and try to restart it, it says 'Can't find init file for Database "db_name"'. Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks!

    While connected as sysdba issue :
    CREATE PFILE FROM SPFILE;
    --This creates an initSID.ora file under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.
    You can edit this file to modify any init parameters.
    To have the effect this these new parameters startup the database with:
    STARTUP PFILE=$ORACLE_HOME/initSID.ora.
    To create spfile with the modified values use:
    CREATE SPFIL FROM PFILE;
    Once you create the SPFILE and when you start the db, SPFILE will be used.

  • SQL developer cannot see connection info from tnsnames.ora file

    Greetings All,
    I have been using sql developer for a while. Currently on 3.0.04.34.
    I have 16 database connections.
    Everything was working fine until yesterday.
    Today when I tried to connect to a database from the list of connections I am getting following error:
    Invalid connection information specified. Verify url format for specified driver.
    When I pull up the property for this connection -connection type is still TNS, Netwrok Alias is now greyed out and what was in Netwrok Alias has shifted to Connect Identifier.
    When I try to create a new connection I do not see entry from tnsnames.ora file for the databse I am trying to connect to in the Network Alias drop down list.
    I can connect to this database from sqlplus.
    Has anyone seen this behavior? Does any one know the fix for this?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Maybe your preference settings got corrupted, or the Tnsnames.ora file got moved to somewhere SQL Developer can't find it.
    Are you using either:
    1. Tools|Preferences|Database|Advanced|Tnsnames Directory, or a
    2. TNS_ADMIN environment variable
    to point to your Tnsnames? Having one of those should enable the Network Alias drop-down list to get populated. Otherwise, if the values moved to Connection Identifier are correct, then you won't be to connect in that mode without also having an Oracle client installed with an 11.1 JDBC thick driver (ocijdbc11.dll).
    If there is no issue with the Tnsnames. ora location, it might be a good idea to use Export Connections to make a backup of your connections. Then you can try deleting the connections from SQL Developer and re-importing them. Even if that doesn't fix the problem, you should be no worse off.

  • Listener.ora file on RAC 11gR2 with SCAN

    Hello,
    I have 11.2.0.1 Rac with 2 nodes configured to work with SCAN.
    The following listener.ora file was created during the rac installation.
    (I only changed the name of the instance to XYZ in the output bellow).
    There is only one listener.ora file for both the rdbms instance and the ASM instance.
    Is it a good best practice or should i consider to create a seperate listener.ora
    to the rdbms instance and to the ASM instance ?

    Is it a good best practice or should i consider to create a seperate listener.ora to the rdbms instance and to the ASM instance ?No, you should not be creating separate listener for each Grid & DB. Listener is node specific resource. Oracle recommends in RAC environment the listener should be configured from GRID home and it will be able to serve both Grid and DB services.
    It also helps in maintenance where as you can upgrade DB without bothering Listener, can have several db instances, and can have several versions of DB supported by a single listener.
    I hope this answers your question. if yes please mark the question as answered and do not forget marking answer as a Correct answer.

    Can someone explain me, what was the reason behind that ?

    Hi,

    Seriously.. did you do both at the same time? If so... are you sure you save the init file? Cause there's no way such changes are rolled back except if you did not saved the file... or restored an old version of your pfile!
