10G DB on which free linux?

I'm setting up a test linux box for personal use so I can chose any free linux.
Which will 10G run on with little or no fiddling?
Any guess on when 10G on intel linux will be avaiable?
Thanks for all!, curt

Hi,
Just installed Oracle 10G on RH 9.
The trick here is to modify the oraparam.ini file in the downloaded installation.
Below are the modified oraparam.ini portions
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3,Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
(This last value above was got from the first line of /etc/issue)
[Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)-optional]
TEMP_SPACE=80
SWAP_SPACE=150
MIN_DISPLAY_COLORS=256
On the Pre-requisites screen on Product selection (Enterprise/Standard/Custom) there is a failure on the CertifiedVersions check, subsequently the Security/Packages pre-requisite checks are not performs, therefore it is IMPORTANT that
you also have to make sure manually that your free linux has all the required gcc/binutils/make versions and kernel paramaters etc required for the install as per install DOCS
Am checking which jar file has to be modified to get this working without a error and will update accordingly.
Regards
Shyamal

Which free linux can I use on a Dell Power Edge Server 2650

Dear all,
I have recently joined the subscription program and want to install Netweaver. From my old company I could purchase a couple of Dell Power Edge Servers 2650 with 6GB RAM, Dual Core etc - so plenty of hardware. As next step I want to install a linux OS to be able to to install SAP trial version and/or the Netweaver software from the subscription program.
In the compatibility section I have read that I need either SUSE or RedHat linux enterprise edition. But these enterprise editions cost money when purchasing it. Is there also a free linux edition that I could use? If not, which enterprise linux would be the cheapest that I could use?
Thanks and best regards
Daniel Blaschkowski

Hi Daniel,
you can download a copy of the installation DVD of SUSE Enterprise Server 10SP2 for free from the Novell's Web Site. You won't have support nor will you be able to get software updates but it will allow you to get a first feeling about Netweaver on Linux.
Another option is to use [Centos |www.centos.org] that is a clone of Redhat Enterprise Server. You will have to cheat a little bit to be able to install SAP on it (you have to make your Centos appear like it is a true Redhat) but it works without a hitch.
Of course, do not run any production instances on such setups as you will get into trouble with SAP support in case you open up a problem message related to these platforms
Have fun,
Seb

Upgrading from 9,2.0.6 (HP-UX) to 10g or 11g on Redhat Linux?

Generally what are the steps to upgrade from 9,2.0.6 (HP-UX) to 10g or 11g on Redhat Linux?
Can I exp the database on 9.2.0.6 (HP-UX) then imp the database to a new 10/11g database (RedHat Linux)?
Is this the simplest way?

To change platforms require the database instance be re-built and / or the data moved using one of the following methods:
Export / Import to include the use of Datapump facilities. all versions support Export/Import but for Datapump 10.1.0.2 or higher is required
Transportable Tablespaces 10G or Later
RMAN Convert Database functions. 10G or Later
Streams Replication
Create Table As Select (CTAS)
Oracle Golden Gate
As your database is 9.2.0.6 you can only use export/import. Please refer to the MOS doc 733205.1 for further clarification

How to install Oracle 10g on to Red Hat Linux 5 Server

I'm new to both Linux and Oracle. I've been working on an installion of Oracle 10g on a Red Hat Linux 5 Server for about 2 weeks. I've been doing a lot of reading about installing Oracle on a Linux environment. I finally got to the installation portion and the Oracle Installer displayed a message that I had to have Red Hat 4 or 4 Enterprise to continue.
How can Install Oracle 10g onto a Red Hat 5 Linux Server"? Is there an option that I can use to bypass the OS checking?
Thanks

Unfortunately there is no way to access metalink without a valid account. You could then just try to skip preinstall requisites with this clause:
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or this method:
Copy the oraparam.ini from the installation source install/oraparam.ini to /tmp directory.
Edit the file /tmp/oraparam.ini so this file reads:
After
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-3,SuSE-9,redhat-4,UnitedLinux-1.0,asianux-1,asianux-2,redhat-5
also, make sure you have these packages installed:
# rpm -ivh gcc-c++-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm gcc-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm
libstdc++-devel-4.1.1-52.el5.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.5-12.i386.rpm

Best way to transfer a 10g database from HP9000 to Linux Redhat?

What is the best way to transfer a 10g databasse from HP9000 to Linux Redhat?

Hi Bill,
What is the best way to transfer a 10g databasse from HP9000 to Linux Redhat?Define "best"? There are many choices, each with their own benefits . . .
Fastest?
If you are on an SMP server, parallel CTAS over a databaee link can move large amnunts of tables, fast:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_create_table_select_ctas.htm
I've done 100 gig per hours . . .
Easiest?
If you are a beginner, data pump is good, and I have siome tips on doing it quickly:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_load_speed.htm
Also,, make sure to check the Linux kernel settings. I query http://www.tpc.org and search for the server type . . .
The full disclosure reports show optimal kernel settings.
Finally, don't forget to set direct I/O in Linux:

Hope this helps . . .

How to set IPaddress to a VM which has Linux OS using powershell remoting.

I have downloaded the SetLinuxVM scripts for setting the ipaddress of virtual machine which has Linux as OS. I have 2 different Hyperv host machines for Eg: HostServer1 and HostServer2 and I have installed SetLinuxVM scripts on server HostServer1 but
my LinuxVM is created in HostServer2 and is highly available.
Now I have development server from where I connect to any of these HyperV servers remotely .
I have created powershell remote session from my development server to HostServer1 where SetLinuxVM scripts are installed and excuting the script as given below.
Set-LinuxVM -VMName "TestLinuxVM" -Manager "Hyper-V" -VMHost "HostServer2"
-Username "root" -Password "Gen#123" -Hostname "TestLinuxSrv " -IPAddress "192.168.2.2" -SubnetMask "255.255.0.0" -GatewayAddress "192.168.2.1" -PrimaryDNSAddress "8.8.8.8"
Even though I am providing the -VMHost and even if the VM is in cluster its not executing the scripts and I am getting the error WMI not available.
Its working fine if the scripts are installed on HostServer2 where the LinuxVM is created but my question is that do we need to install the scripts on all HyperV hosts then whats the use of the above parameter -VMHost "HostServer2" because if
the hyperv host is remotely connected using powershell we need to provide the VMHost name in the above scripts.
From the examples provided in the SetLinuxVM module my understanding is that if the SetLinuxVM module is installed in any of the Hyperv servers which are in a cluster and even though the VM is created in any of the servers and is highly available by just
providing the VMHost for that particular VM we can set the IPadress ,hostname etc by connecting remotely using powershell to the HostServer which has SetLinuxVM module by providing the VMHost name in the above script .
Hoping that my problem will be resolved at your earliest convenience.
Thanks in advance,
Fayaz Syed.

I am not familiar with these scripts, but in general any modules must exist on the target Hyper-V server.
The commands do not appear to be suing SCVMM, in which case you would execute the PowerShell script at the VMM console machine.

Using (free) Linux gives me the money to pay for a Photoshop CC subscription.... I have the money

Using (free) Linux gives me the money to pay for a Photoshop CC subscription.... I have the money, Adobe Air works on Linux, why not Photoshop CC???
I have the money, I'm willing to pay.

How much does a PC operating system (i.e., Windows) cost? About what a month of Creative Cloud subscription costs, assuming you took advantage of the Windows 8 initial offer. If not, just a few months worth. How is the price of the OS a factor?
People who expect to get real work done use a Mac or PC. Probably just a Mac in the future.

Cant install oracle 10g release 2 on unbreakable linux

i have being trying to install oracle 10g re 2 on unbreakable linux.after installation i open the url for bot em/isqlplus and it works.but after restarting the system i type the command
emctl start dbconsole
it says command not found
pls help me any 1.

There is so much you aren't telling us. For example, if you created a user "oracle" to be the Oracle software owner and install the Oracle software with, there will be a directory named /home/oracle. Inside this directory will be a file called .bash_profile. You can put lines like export ORACLE_HOME=, export ORACLE_BASE= and export ORACLE_SID= so that your environment is set up when you login. Jeff Hunter has a lot of information like this on his website. Check it out.

Forms 10g certification on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 ??

Is Forms 10g certified on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 ??

I don't think. of sure RHEL 5 is not certified for DB 10gR2 and even for OAS 10g.
Even if I have made an installation of DB 10gr2 for RHEL 5 with xen and it's work, meanwhile OAS 10 didn't work!
Anyway,Try to search for certification matrix on Oracle site

Oracle 10g R 10.2 for Linux x86-64 - /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock problem

Hi All,
During installation - Oracle Database Configuration Assistance, I have got below error and thus I stuck. As per Metalink note 293988.1, this will be resolved if I do [root@localhos]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock . But problem is when I do this because I dont have /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock file in my system, it giving ¨bash: /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock: No such file or directory¨ error. So I am unable to get rid of this error. I also set SELinux Default and Current mode as permissible and rebooted it.
No use, Its giving same error.

From what I can gather form your post, the ORA-27125: Unable to create shared memory segment is probably the result of:
a) not enough physical memory available.
b) /dev/shm not configured properly.
c) kernel parameters are not set according to Oracle requirements.
Since this is happening during the installation of Oracle I suggest to check the SHMMAX kernel parameter. This is all mentioned in the pre-installation steps. Oracle 11g will actually check these kernel parameters prior to installing. Not sure about 10g now, which you are trying to install.
The most common, easiest way to prepare the system for Oracle RDBMS is to install the "oracle-validated" package. If you don't have access to ULN, you can setup public yum.
http://public-yum.oracle.com/ Then you can simply type as the root user: yum install oracle-validated

~~[DONE]~~ Installing Oracle 10g Rel. 2 on linux distros...

Hello guys,
I wanted to ask if anyone of you tried to install oracle 10g release 2 for personal use on any linux distro (free distros).
If yes which linux did you try?

Choose the Linux distribution that makes you feel most comfortable. At the Linux level, there is very little difference between fedora core 4 and SUSE linux 9.2 (if there is, they are not allowed to use the label Linux). At the 'other stuff thrown in' level, which makes it a distro, you need to decide which is going to make you happiest.
In any case, installing Oracle in Linux means you need to have the prerequisites set up. That means a specific version of the kernel, a specific set of libraries and a specific set of installed applications. If you have those, you follow a specific set of steps to install.
Werner Puschitz helps you figure out the specific prerequisites at ttp://www.puschitz.com ... if you can not understand the prereqs and steps, then you might want to spend more time learning Linux basic admin until you are more comfortable otherwise you will get into some trouble down the road.

Oracle on Free Linux distro

Hello,
I want to install oracle to study it. You can understand that I'm not really willing to pay money for Red Hat Enterprise version. Is there also a free distro of linux were oracle runs on?
Thanx

I'm currently running Oracle 9iR2 and Oracle 10g on Gentoo Linux.
www.gentoo.org
There is no ebuild in portage for gentoo, but on http://bugs.gentoo.org you can search for a orarun package, that includes installation instructions and support files to get your Oracle DB running :)
BTW: Installing 10g was a bit easier than installing 9i, but 10g was at the time of my installation not supported by PHP 4.3.4 (which is now 4.3.6 so the chances are good)
And notice:
Suse 9.1 (or 9.2 I cant remember) is available as personal and professional edition. The personal edition is very cheap, and runs Oracle DBs flawlessly. Maybe you have to compile your own kernel, since SuSE kernels include many patches the standard kernel doesn't have.
And, if anything goes wrong, there is always goolge :)
