10g AS Operating System migration - Sun to Linux

Has anyone successfully migrated/moved over a 2 tier 10g AS installation from Sun Solaris to RedHatLinux?
Will it require a new installation of 10g AS for Linux and then move over the data? We plan to re-use the same hostnames and IPs. Any ideas or suggestions?

So the plan is to install 10g AS on Linux using the same hostnames and IPs and then move over the data. Please forgive my ignorance, what's the best way to move over the data? A fulll db import/export, moving over DBF files, or?

Error Loading Operating system
Please help me out

First: did you install the bootloader in the MBR (it's a question during the installation), so the server is able to boot linux automatically?
"C:" is a typical MSDOS naming (and windows naming), which probably means the dos/windows bootloader is still in the MBR (master boot record)
If not, reinstall linux and install grub (preferably) in the MBR

Operating system call w2k and linux

Hello:
I am not a programmer but i nedd a routine to do an operating system call and execute a batch or shell set of commands,
do anyone know how can i do it?
thanks a lot in advance

Or maybe Runtime.exec is enough for you. MUCH simpler than JNI, as long as a shell executing a script is all you want.

It's possible to migrate a database from windows to linux (x86) with rman because the byte order in both OS (in x86 architecture) is the same (little endian).As far I can tell, transportable database is a 10g*R2* new feature, at least it is mentioned as is in the 10gR2 New Features Guide :

So, for the OP working on 10g*R1* only expdp/impdp or transportable tablespaces are an option.

Booting different Mac operating systems.

In the Windows world, the user can set up a computer to allow the selection of different operating system versions, such as Win98, WinXP, WinVista, to be chosen at startup.
Can this be done with Leopard, or possibly Snow Leopard? I'd like to upgrade, yet keep the existing system installed. I am not referring to using an emulator like Parallels Desktop, I'm already doing that.
One of the things that's the most frustrating to me is the different terminology used. Took me awhile to figure out that Airport is wireless networking, and today I discovered that Automator appears to be a macro recorder. Yet I've got a friend who could never figure out the other terms but the Mac terms make perfect sense to her!! Go figure!!! LOL
And before someone suggests it, I bought a Leopard book last spring when I bought this Mac, but a summer job I took involved 10-12 hour workdays and I just haven't had the time or energy to get it read.

Supported different Mac operating systems (and unix-like Linux for Mac) can be
booted in the same computer; in order for multiple Mac OS X systems to work,
they need to be in their own partition so as to not mix up their differences, and
applications that may work well in one may not do so well in another. So, each
OSX has its own Applications and other folders, in their own home partitions.
Snow Leopard 10.6.x is intended for Intel-based Macs; Leopard 10.5.x is the
last version supporting PPC-based Macs. Some PPC Macs did not like 10.5.
You could probably use a bootable externally enclosed hard disk drive to have
additional system(s) available for the computer, instead of reformatting the HD
& partitioning it for several systems. The OEM drive may be too small for more
than one OS installed, depending on the uses expected and storage demands.
Computers that can't support the latest OS X 10.6.x won't, and they can't use
an older OS X than the one they shipped with, the exact as-shipped version.
Some models can run several OSs including variants of Linux or unix for Mac,
and select supported OS X versions; plus older Macs running dualboot OS9/X.
The Support pages on the Apple site have helpful information on specific Macs
& other hardware, so that may be of help to read about each model in question.
Also, the free download offline database: http://mactracker.ca is fairly handy.
Good luck & happy computing!

Numbers of Oracle DB usage on different operating systems

Hi all,
I am looking for numbers that breakdown in what proportion Oracle DB is used in different operating systems, specifically the percentage of use in each group of operating systems.
- Windows
- OpenVMS
- Linux
- Unixes.
- Others
Could someone provide some numbers or a link to where I could get the information?
I am especially interested in windows and OpenVMS...
Best wishes to all
Andre

Hi Andy,
I'm seeing lot of companies prefer Unix(Solaris, HP, Linux) as a production. My experience working with 3 big clients like Cingular (USA), Orange (UK) & SKY(UK) they have many solaris oracle and few HP oracle (Orange).

NB550D-10G - Linux operating system

I have recently bought an NB550D-10G and have not yet used it.
I'm not a Windows fan and with a new desktop PC my first move would be to replace Windows with some form of Linux operating system.
However, before doing this on this netbook I want to check what the effect is likely to be on some of the features. I am interested in the following:
1. Dolby Advanced Audio
2. USB sleep and charge
3. Sleep and music
4. Power management
5. Any other functions
For example, am I going to be able to use the sleep and music function when running Linux, or is this dependent on Windows or other pre-installed software?

Linux has problems with sleep, so I wouldn't expect to have immediate results with #2 and #3. Power management (#4) can be poor because Linux drivers are often written in a way that uses more power than needed.
I'd suggest doing a search for your specific issues in a Linux forum, because someone probably has fixes for these issues, but it won't be automatic. It will, however, be worth the effort in the end.

XMLMark for UNIX like Operating Systems (Solaris, Linux, etc.)

Hi All,
I want to run the XMLmark benchmark I found and downloaded from
http://java.sun.com/developer/codesamples/webservices.html#Performance
in Solaris 10 or Red Hat Linux but the environment and configuration scripts are for Windows.
I wonder if we have a distribution or version of XMLmark for a UNIX
like Operating System.
Decided to post this, just in case somebody has a version for UNIX like OS, before I start the effort of porting it ... :( ... I am not a Microsoft Windows expert.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

I ended up porting to shell the run_xmlmark.bat file. This is what the contents of run_xmlmark.sh look like:
#!/bin/sh
# Run XMLMark Java test on a Solaris/UNIX platform
# Carlos A. Morillo
# 11/01/2007
JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0
export JAVA_HOME
echo $JAVA_HOME
XMLMARK_HOME=$HOME/src/java/XMLMark
export XMLMARK_HOME
echo $XMLMARK_HOME
ANT_HOME=/auyantepui/apache-ant-1.7.0
export ANT_HOME
echo $ANT_HOME
# Run the Java part
for f in $XMLMARK_HOME/ini/xmlmark_*.ini; do
$ANT_HOME/bin/ant -f $XMLMARK_HOME/Java/src/xmlmark.xml run-xmlmark -DiniFile=$f
done
Also I had to modify all the all the $XMLMARK_HOME/ini/xmlmark_*.ini files so instead of having "\\" in a file name, they have instead "//".

New iMac, migrated from macbook and now mail won't work. Tried re-installing operating system, still doesn't work. Can anyone help me to get mail working? thanks

I just bought a new iMac and I thought that it would be simple to migrate from my MacBook.
I have a time machine back-up so I decided to migrate using that. Everything seemed to instal pretty well with the exception of mail. To begin with I had 2 mail icons, then I started to read some forums and checked that i had the one I wanted in the applications folder, deleted the other and then downloaded the new operating system. Mail had to be force quit first and even when the download was complete Mail still wouldn't open or run. The only thing I can do is compose a new message, but I can't see my inbox at all.
It's really frustrating and I would love to know in a simple step by step guide how to get mail up and running with my existing migrated emails in it.
If anyone can give me some advice that would be great.
thanks in advance.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

I want to install a third operating system on my macbook pro. I already have windows and i want install unix or linux in there. Is it possible??

I want to install a third operating system on my macbook pro. I already have windows and i want install unix or linux in there. Is it possible??

Yes, it's possible, but if your Windows system is on a Boot Camp partition then you have to first remove it. Then create however many partitions you want for the operating systems. You have OS X on one, so you need two more - one for Windows and one for Linux. You then install Windows and Linux separately to their respective partitions. Download rEFIt
Use it as the replacement bootloader so you can properly boot from each OS properly.
