11gR2 on Linux OEL 5.4

Hi and happy new year to all,
I installed 11gR2 on Linux OEL 5.4, using the "Software only" option. Everything worked smoothly with the installation, but when I try to use netca or dbca, both of them hang after a few screens, and I can't proceed further.
Has anyone already seen the same, and is there any solution ?
Thanks in advance
Antoine

Has anyone already seen the same, and is there any solution ?Frequent reported problem when OS is mis-configured.
You need to actually Read The Fine Manual, Installation Guide for V11R2 Linux.
It could be OS kernel parameters.
It could be networking.
What clues exist within dbca log file?

OCI 11gR2 Trapping Linux Signals

Greetings,
Is there any documentation that might allude to any possible changed signal behavior with OCI for 11gR2 on Linux platform?
We currently have handlers that call abort() as well as dedicated SEGV and other handlers that are appearing to be broken when run as background processes when linked with Oracle 11gR2 OCI libraries. This would be under RH 5.4 and using Oracle Client for 11gR2. For example, when we call abort(), no core is dropped in certain background processes. If we first set the default handler- either through signal SIG_DFL or with sigaction prior to calling abort(), this drops a core as expected. If we link with other libraries, this problem also goes away.
What we really need is some way to ensure cores are dropped or what to setup to collect cores. Our work-around for abort() works for those occasions, but we're now losing executables with no trace and no core to be found only when linking with OCI 11gR2 libraries.
Any insights greatly appreciated! Thank you!

How to sync primary and standby database in 11GR2 on linux

Hi ,
How to sync primary and standby database in 11GR2 on linux . Both my primay and standby are 3 node cluster each.
Can you please suggest a good link and brief steps .
Thanks

Are you trying to setup a new standby or sync an existing standby database?
OK I see it
"standby is behind the primary"
So you have a gap.
I would check both alert logs for a cause. You might find something like this
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.Look for ORA-00308 and ORA-27037 and ORA-16055.
There's no sense fixing the gap unless the cause is fixed too.
Also check out this post from a few days ago its dealing with similar issues.
How to sync the standby database with the primary?
If you find this helpful please mark it so.

Requirements for Linux OEL 5 before upgrade to r12

We are running Oracle E-Business suites 11.5.10.2 on Linux OEL 5 two node vmware environment. I am asking just Linux patches etc not the Oracle side.
1) -I want to verify Linux server ( dbtier and appstier) requirement like checking openmotif version required kernel patches rpm etc. need relevant document.
2)- Is there any new requirement ?
Thanks

Thanks for your help. I followed your documents and verified that my Linux kernel, gcc librareis, openmotif etc are all meeting the requirement. Now my next step is to start installation and configuration for r12 upgrade. Can you please give me document for that purpose.Oracle E-Business Suite Installation Guide Using Rapid Install

Does Veridata have Agent for oracle database 11gr2 on linux?

Hi,
Does veridata have agent for oracle database 11gr2 on linux? From the edelivery.oracle.com, I just found the latest version is 10.2. When I installed the 10.2 version agent for oracle database 11gr2, the agent needs libnnz10.*. Does 10.2 version agent support for 11gr2 database? Thank you.

Connecting Excel 2010 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit to Oracle 11gR2 on Linux

Using:
Excel 2010 64 bit
Windows 7 64 bit
Oracle instant client 11.2.0.1 64 bit
connecting to Oracle 11gR2 64 bit on Linux 5.8 64 bit
I have created a User DSN in Windows called "NITRO Oracle 11gR2 DB" using the Oracle 64 bit instant client driver 11.2.0.1. Configured as so
http://i.imgur.com/2a3MZ.png
Connection test is successful.
In Excel 2010, I go to Data ribbon, From Data Connection Wizard
http://i.imgur.com/han3u.png
I then choose Other/Advanced, and then Oracle Provider for OLE DB.
http://i.imgur.com/w3P1c.png
I click next and then put in the data source, user name and password and click test, and it fails with Micosoft Data Link Error. http://i.imgur.com/zuv41.png
Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

12154 means the client couldn't resolve what you filled in for Data Source. What did you fill in for Data Source when configuring the OLEDB connection? It looks like "nitro" should be the correct thing to fill in, based on your statement that the ODBC DSN you configured works with it.

The best option to create a shared storage for Oracle 11gR2 RAC in OEL 5?

Hello,
Could you please tell me the best option to create a shared storage for Oracle 11gR2 RAC in Oracel Enterprise Linux 5? in production environment? And could you help to create shared storage? Because there is no additional step in Oracle installation guide. There are steps for only asm disk creation.
Thank you.

Here are names of partitions and permissions. Partitions which have 146 GB, 438 GB, 438 GB of capacity are my storage. Two of three disks which are 438 GB were configured as RAID 5 and remaining disk was configured as RAID 0. My storage is Dell MD 3000i and connected to nodes through ethernet.

Installing Oracle Database 11gR2 on Linux with Unbreakable Ente. Kernel

Hello,
I have Oracle Linux 5.5 with Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel.
what do I need to have/prepare to install Oracle database 11gR2 on it?
the hardware part and the partitions are done!
1-
Do I need to install/run Oracle Validated Configuration RPM? even if I have Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel?
if yes does in means the Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel does not prepare/configure the system to host database?
2-
With any of the above
do I still need create or edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file, and add or edit lines similar to the following:
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 1048586
I saw allot of docs out there, but none answered these questions!
so please do not post docs or links to a general sites!
Thank you for the help

Dude wrote:
The intention of Oracle UEK is quite obviously Oracle specific, so I think it is legitimate to ask why not to include the Oracle specific kernel configuration file. The UEK is a drop-in replacement for the existing kernel. Why would we include the oracle-validated configuration options into the kernel package when we already have a perfectly good oracle-validated RPM that can be used with both kernels? Also, the UEK may be Oracle specific, but it's not database specific. Keep in mind that Oracle has thousands and thousands of products. :) I run the UEK on lots and lots of servers, many of which don't run database and many of which have completely different /etc/sysctl.conf configurations.
The list of available packages and add-on's at http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL5/5/base/x86_64/ is growing. So perhaps it's just a matter of continued development.
Not sure what the point of this statement is: there are no plans to incorporate the oracle-validated configuration into the kernel, as it already exists in oracle-validated.

11gR2 on Linux

Hi there,
I am installing 11gR2 core DB on Linux, according to general oracle docs, there are packages we have to install before we proceed with actual DB installation. Newer package exist but it forces for exact the same version. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY PLEASE?
EX:
This package exist: libaio-0.3.109 and oracle is asking for libaio-0.3.105 and says it is missing.
1) Why the newer doesn't pass the prerequisite?
2) Anyone knows which file ins Linux and/or Oracle is checking these prerequisites?
Thank you
P:s: Not all the distros are like this, some pass very nice and easy and some no matter they have newer versions still asking for the old and if yu want to isntall he old ones, the package dependencies make you crazy. can someone be a help please?

You should tell us OS details.
Newer package exist but it forces for exact the same version. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY PLEASE? It means Oracle platform has been validated for those versions. If you want to try installing with new versions of package, you can try but Oracle does not gurantee that it will work also will not provide support in case any errors.
2) Anyone knows which file ins Linux and/or Oracle is checking these prerequisites?
It depends on the OS, if it is using rpm manager, then it has its own rpm catalog where each installed package named and other details are defined.
If you think a little bit further, oracle installer maintain a list of rpms and their required version details which it compares with the insalled version. It complains in case of mis-match.

Migrating Oracle EBS 11i to Linux OEL 5 64bit

Hello Experts!
My company is planning to migrate our EBS 11iR2 to Linux 5. Please someone can tell me what will be a good step to start. We are on Oracle Database 9iR2 and it is on Sun 32Bit OS same as Middle Tier.
We want only Middle Tier to be migrate as first steps to OEL 5 64bit OS, and keeping running the Database on Sun 32bit. Please tell me, if it is possible to run Oracle EBS 11iR2 on OEL 5 64bit and Database 9iR2 on Sun 32bit?
Thanks
Khawaja

We want only Middle Tier to be migrate as first steps to OEL 5 64bit OS, and keeping running the Database on Sun 32bit. Please tell me, if it is possible to run Oracle EBS 11iR2 on OEL 5 64bit and Database 9iR2 on Sun 32bit?You cannot run the middle tier on a 64-bit OS, only the database tier node is supported on 64-bit OS.
Please see (Frequently Asked Questions: Oracle E-Business Suite Support on x86-64 [ID 343917.1]) for details.
Also, please note that Oracle 9i is not supported on OEL5/RHEL5.
Thanks,

In Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) not able to redirect pvscan output.

Hi,
I'm not able to redirect output of ovscan and vgscan commands to a file in Oracle Enterprise Linux.
Please suggest something.
Thanks
Mayank

Thanks Paul for your valuable replies.
Well i'm using OEL 5.1(Oracle Enterprise Linux) 32 bit version.
The commands i used were:
# pvscan 1>output.txt 2>&1
# vgscan 1>output.txt 2>&1
In both cases output.txt remains blank.But when I ran command
# ls 1>output.txt 2>&1
output.txt has list of files in it.
Also in case of RHEL (Redhat Enterprise Linux), for both commands vgscan and pvscan output is getting redirected to the output.txt
So the problem is with OEL only. Please suggest something.
