8i on Compaq DL380 or DL580

Has anyone installed Oracle 8i (8.1.6) on an a Compaq DL380 with Zeon or DL580 with Xeon MP processors? If so are there any issues with this configuration?
Thanks

problem 1 is that it's looking for ../../s0.. Which I
managed to
fake out by creating the dir in the same mount
point.
Problem 2 is that it can't find .tmp_proto, which I
must
concur with. I can't find that on any of the b72 cd
images.
So, the setup_install_server fails.This seems to be the problem when you try to setup an install
server on a Solaris SPARC system for Solaris x86 clients, using
the Solaris 9 or Solaris 10/Express CD media.
There's a Solaris x86 UFS filesystem on slice 0 on the CD media,
and it's supposed to be mounted on the "s0" mount point,
otherwise setup_install_server won't work. On a Solaris x86 box,
vold mounts it automatically for you: /cdrom/cdrom0/s2 is the
mount point for the platform independant ISO9660 part of the CD
media, /cdrom/cdrom0/s0 is the UFS root filesystem.
Problem is that Solaris SPARC:
- does not understand Solaris x86 disk labels
- does not allow mounting x86 UFS filesystems
(and vice versa).
AFAIK, Solaris 9 DVD media does not have this problem. I
guess the same will be true when Solaris 10 DVD media is
available in a few months. On the DVD media there's enough
free space to include an extra copy of the files in the ISO9660
filesystem.

No disk found error while install Solaris 8 intel on Compaq

I use the interactive installation method to install Solaris 8 02/02 intel platform on Compaq DL380 G2 with 4*36.4 GB harddrive and 2G memory. After I configue the network and time, an error message comes up: "No disk found. Check to make sure disks are cabled and powered up."
When I try the Web Start, it will jump the the shell prompt and say something like "No location for installation software ...."
Could anyone give me some clue? Thanks.

Dir Mr. zhechang,
We had the same error with you, but we install Solaris 9 on the DL380 G3 Compaq machine. Could you please help me to solve the errors if uou the solution about it

Solaris 10 x86 JumpStart install not working

I'm working with several Compaq DL380 servers.
I've installed Solaris 10 x86 3/05 onto DL380 #1, and created a 3GB servername.flar Flash Archive of that system.
I've moved that .flar file to a local web server. I can bring it up in any host's browser on the local subnet, and am able to download the .flar file.
Now, on DL380 #2, I can install Solaris from CDs and open Mozilla and download the 3GB .flar file to /tmp. So, it is reachable. However, if I do a re-install, and this time specify a JumpStart install via HTTP, entering the URL that works, the install program tells me that it can't find a Flash Archive there. I'm entering the URL as http:/10.20.30.40/servername.flar, where 10.20.30.40 is the local web server. This is the same URL that works on other local hosts. (i.e. going to http:/10.20.30.40/ brings up the list of files, and a right-click on servername.flar gives you the option to download it, which I've tried and it does work - it takes a few hours, but it works)
I tried HTTPS first and when I encountered this issue I reconfigured the web server for just HTTP. Then I thought the Flash archive must require a .flar filename extension (I had originally called it servername.archive) so I created a new Flash archive with a .flar extension - servername.flar.
So, the same system, when installed from CDs, can access the web server and download the .flar file, but when re-installing and specifying the same URL it can't find it. I'm giving the DL380 #2 the same IP, same netmask, etc.. when doing the re-install.
I can't think of anything else to try. Any ideas?
thanks!

Max_io_size equivalent in Linux and block/stripe sizes

I'm configuring a linux Red Hat 7.1 for Oracle 9i Rel2. I'm trying to determine the best db_block_size, and db_file_multiblock_read_count parameters. I know that these Oracle settings are dependent on the OS block size and the max_io_size of the OS.
Does anyone know what the equivalent Linux parameter for max_io_size (solaris) is and how I set it in Linux? Does resetting it involve reinstalling Linux? Any suggestions on an appropriate range to set it? Is the default Linux 1K block size OK? (The server is a Compaq DL380 with 1.4 GHertz processor and 1 GB RAM.)
Additionally, I have a Compaq 5300 Series RAID, (5i-integrated), that we plan to configure with RAID 0+1. Our controller only goes up to a stripe size of 256K, with a default of 128K. For a "general"-type database that could hold up to 80 GB of data over 50 or so tables, with a possible equal number of full-table scans and indexed scans, would you suggest I set the stripe size at 256 for the most flexiblility down the road?
I don't fully understand what it takes to configure Linux and RAID for the best I/O for Oracle. So, I'd really appreciate any suggestions, tips, or doc references that can help out.
Thanks,
Deb

Problems stting up RAID (Mirror) for boot drive.

I have a Mac that I want to setup mirroring on the boot drive (it's running Mac OS X Server and once I get everything going I need to minimize downtime).
Since you can't move a drive with data into a raid set I first cloned the boot drive to a 3rd drive, booted off that drive, then set the two 80gb drives up as a mirror. after cloning the data from drive #3 back to the now mirrored pair I can't boot off the mirror.
I've tried using both the Startup Disk preferences and also the bless command to mark the raid as the device I want to boot from but it doesn't recognize it as a bootable device.
What do I need to do to make the raid bootable?
thanks,
Bill

The drive I want to boot off (the mirror) is "Macintosh HD"
The temporary drive it's running on now is "Macintosh HD 0"
Both drives show up in the startup items preference panel, I have "Macintosh HD" selected. When I hit restart it fails to recognize it as bootable and fails back to the other one.
I'm not sure which folder you want the permissions set on. Here's what it looks like right now.

Config Suse 9 and Oracle Database 10g

Hi,
I'm trying to install Suse 9 with Oracle 10g on a HP DL380 server and I need some information (This will be an environment for Portal applications):
1) Can SuSE SLES run ok with Processor Hyper Threading (PHT)?
2) What kind of RAID is better for this kind of installation: 1 or 5?
3) System comes with blocksize 512. Is this ok for oracle or we must change to 8.192?
4) Is there any major issue I must know before starting?
Thanks in advance.
Clotilde

Hyper Threading is supported in linux since version 2.4.??. Suse's SLES 9 comes with a far more actual kernel and therefore - yes, it will work on a PHT-system.
RAID-Level 5 is good for the normal stuff: binaries, user files like documents, sheets, a.s.o. but lacks of performance for database operations. Better use RAID1 or RAID 10 and a lot of disks - minimum 5 separate disksets to avoid concurrent disk operations which slow down your database rapidly!
Well, having the operating system and oracle core on a RAID5 (min. 3 disks) is a good start. On the HP (Compaq) DL380 you will run out of mounting options for your disks - you have only six bays for harddrives. This is IMHO not the best choice for a database maschine, as long as you don't use external storage arrays.
The blocksize topic is far more complex to describe. For this and your fourth point, I advise you to read the oracle documentation as a first start. Needless to say that the ORACLE PRESS have some very good written books covering the whole area of database administration (DBA).

Contact syncing and Groups in MacOS address book app

When I add a new contact via the iPhone there's no way to designate which group it goes into so every now and then I have to do into the Address Book app and try to figure out which ones aren't in the correct group and fix them.
Is there any way I can assign contact groups via the iPhone?

CallManager on Compaq Proliant DL580

Hi Guys,
I read the post with the same subject, but, the post is old. My Customer have a CUCM 8.6.2 install about VMWare 5.1 EsXi in the hardware DL-580 GL. I would like know if this solution is approved to install CUCM.
Thank You,
Wilson

You have to look at the 3rd-party server / specs-based column (at top) and walk through the requirements and links. All vendors are now supported; however, a given server must meet specs for various components. You need to know the details of what is in the HP server and compare to what is required to be supported. You won't see a list of "Server A" is supported, "Server B" is not.

Solaris 10 x86 installation problem on ProLiant DL380..

I'm trying to put Sol10 b72 on a dual-proc ProLiant DL380 here, with the Compaq 5i array controller.
I have the Solaris 9 drivers from HP; they seem to work just fine for the installation.
The problem comes at the end of the first disc.
Sidebar:
For one thing (and this drove me NUTS until I got lucky and caught it during a reboot), at the end of the install, on the console, it asks for the driver diskettes..again.
The problem is, it doesn't say this ANYWHERE else, only on the console..and if you're doing the installation in the X desktop, you just never know it. It doesn't write this to the xconsole window. I tried installing a good 5-6 times before, instead of hitting the power button out of frustration after the install just hung again, I actually opened up a terminal and typed 'reboot'..and caught the "Please insert the diskette and press Enter" as it killed X. If anyone at Sun is reading this..you may want to fix this, before someone gets very frustrated that their installations never seem to finish...
End Sidebar.
So...I'm doing the console text install (otherwise you'll never see the message to insert the driver diskettes for the Broadcom NIC and the Compaq array), and sure enough, at the end of the install, it asks for the diskette. I pop in the diskette it's specifically asking for (the Compaq array diskette in this instance), and hit enter. It chugs for a second and then says it can't find the driver on the diskette.
Which is incorrect, because if it haden't found it on the diskette during the device configuration assistant phase during bootup, it wouldn't have even been able to install Solaris.
So..what's up? Anyone have any ideas why Solaris finds it one time but can't find it later? Is this a bug or problem in the installation script?
Thanks,
Greg

Controller issue on Compaq DL360 (First Generation)

I just don't want to warm up this old thread here, but meanwhile: Is there any known solution/workaround for the problem, that an installation of sol 10 on machines of this type (or DL370s/DL380s, using the same controller) fails, ending up in the 'no disks found' problem?
I assume, I am not the only one who experienced the fact, that the folder renaming procedure of the somewhat older driver disks supplied by HP (cpqary2 for the integrated smart array controller, contained in Compaq SoftPaq SP21874, V 1.70A for Solaris 8, http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/16328.html) doesn't help any further.

did you make any experiance regarding Solaris 10 X86 ?No, but...
Unfortunately there is no Solaris 10 driver for the
built in SmartArray of the DL360 (P21) available.... I expect that the same workaround is OK for Solaris 10, that is,
rename the DU/sol_28 directory to DU/sol_210 on HP's driver
update floppy.

Hp/Compaq DL360 with SCSI

Hi, I am trying to install Arch on a HP (formerly Compaq) DL360 1U server.
The problem is that setup can't see the disks attached to the reaid controller, presumably because it does not have a driver for it.
Has anyone else done this, if so how was it fixed?
If not, how do I get support for it? Do I need to compile a new kernal for it? If so is there a readme or something that will help.
I do have access to many working arch box's.
Many thanks

Hi,please suggest me some games for Compaq CQ62-105TU Laptop.Can I upgrade my laptop's graphics card

Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the processor or graphics card on this laptop.
Here is a page from CPU-World that gives the specs for your processor:

You will see down near the bottom of the page that it is not upgradeable. Some laptops come with the processor soldered to the motherboard. Almost all laptop graphics are this way. The only way that you would be able to get a faster processor/better graphics for this laptop would be to purchase a brand new motherboard. You can do an Ebay search for 'HP G6 motherboard' to see what average prices are if you want to go this route.
