9i & 9ias SuSe vs RedHat

Does the 9i and 9ias downloads work on RedHat 7.1? It says it is validated on SuSe, does this mean it only works on this flavor of Linux?

This is probably because Suse is smart and sent technicians on-site to oracle while 9i was in development. RedHat was caught as usual sitting on it's collective fat ass. As someone who's used both, (and purchased red hat 6.2 enterprise for an astounding sum) the redhat distribution designed for oracle was a farce. Suse appears to be much cleaner and much closer to the package requirement, I'm going to be installing and testing over the next few days so I'll let you know. And by the way, at 69$ for the Suse distibution what's the point of complaining about Red Hat ?

SuSe or RedHat on Linux

We are going to install 9i on a linux system, we were planning on using SuSe but heard that Oracle is not going to support Suse, but Redhat. Is that true, if not which OS would be better to use?

Hi guys,
RedHat AS and Suse Linux Entreprise are both certified. If one user here could tell me if one is better for Oracle and why is one better than the other for Oracle, i would be very interrested.
Of course you may have your own preferences for the environment, one would prefer RedHat, one would prefer SuSe. But specifically to Oracle -it is an Oracle forum here- where is the difference?
I would tend to say the best is to use the platform you feel confortable with, but I would be please to hear more objective comments here.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, Unit

Hi All,
My Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 is running on Suse 10, I want to upgrade my DB from 9205 to 10.2.0.1. While running the 10g runinstaller I am getting below error, I know we can install 10g on Suse 10 by passing ignore parameter with runinstaller, but will there be any issues in future with oracle apps...?

Installation of 11.5.10 on Linux (Suse or Redhat)

Has any one had succes of installing 11.5.10 on Suse or redhat? Does anyone know where i could find the installation/upgrade document?

The following guides provide a basic outline of what you would need to do.
The simple web alias for the Novell Oracle documentation is www.suse.com/oracle, then click on Documentation.
http://ftp.novell.com/partners/oracle/docs/10gR2_SL10_introduction.pdf
http://ftp.novell.com/partners/oracle/docs/10gR2_openSUSE102_introduction.pdf
Install Suse Linux 10.1 with at least the following groups:
Graphical Base System
KDE Desktop Environment
C/C++ Compiler and Tools
Under partitioning, ensure you have 2GB minimum for swap. I have 2GB physical and 2GB swap, and swap is usually near 1GB with all services running. I recommend starting with 4 or 6 GB of swap (2x-3x physical ram).
I used to prefer running 11i on reiserFS due to superior write speeds and better storage allocation of the 700,000 small 11i files. ReiserFS is now in maintenance mode from both Oracle and Novell standpoints, so if you are starting out with a fresh install, choose ext3 with the data=writeback mount option.

http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=316806.1
2) Remove any LD_ASSUME_KERNEL references in O/S /etc/profile.d files
3) Comment out LD_ASSUME_KERNEL entries in $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adgetlnxver.sh and $AD_TOP/bin/adgetlnxver.sh

If doing a rapid install, the database startup will fail and rapidwiz will prompt to ignore or retry. At this point, edit $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adgetlnxver.sh as shown above and click on retry. It will then run to the autoconfig step at the end and error out. Just hit cancel, edit $AD_TOP/bin/adgetlnxver.sh as shown above.
At this point, go to $APPL_TOP/admin, and in sid_host.xml,
replace
<sun_plugin_ver oa_var="s_sun_plugin_ver">1.4.2_04</sun_plugin_ver>
with
<sun_plugin_ver oa_var="s_sun_plugin_ver">1.5.0_07</sun_plugin_ver>
Then run autoconfig.
Register the Sun Java Plugin with Firefox by creating a soft link in /usr/lib/browser-plugins:
# cd /usr/lib/browser-plugins
# ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0_07/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
This will allow you to open 11i forms that require Jinitiator in Windows via the Sun Java Plugin in either Firefox or SeaMonkey (the Mozilla replacement) on your Suse 10.1 machine.
4) In order to relink cplex library executables (MSC, MSO, MSR, MST, WIP, etc), edit $AD_TOP/bin/adrelinknew.sh and add the following LD option (-Wl,--noinhibit-exec) in the LINUX section:
LINUX)
LDFLAGS='-s -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -ldl'

else
CPP_LIBS=''
fi
CPP='g++'
CPP_LDFLAGS='-s -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs

to CPP_LDFLAGS='-s -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib -L$(ORACLE_HOME)/lib/stubs -Wl,--noinhibit-exec'
After this change, you can apply any MRP, ASCP patch and all executables will relink correctly. You can also use adadmin to relink all executables and it completes without error.
5) For Discoverer 4.1.48.08, Follow Metalink Note 280598.1 Discoverer 4i On Linux: Required Patch and Configuration for Discoverer Server Stability to use JDK 1.3.1 and oadj. I updated the autoconfig template files with this change after applying 3895177. Discoverer viewer and plus standard BIS reports all open correctly on SLES-10/Suse 10.1
6) If you want to apply Developer 6i Patchset 17 or 18 to your 11i system, edit $ORACLE_HOME/forms60/lib/cus_forms60w.mk and ins_forms60w.mk and remove the -Bstatic

9iAS Release2 on RedHat 8 - ORA-1503

I'm attempting an install of Oracle 9iAS Release 2 (9.0.2.1) on RedHat 8. During install I initially received some linking errors, but was able to resolve them by performing the following actions:
1. Go into the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory
2. Open the file 'genclntsh' with an editor
3. Locate the line LD_SELF_CONTAINED="-z defs"
4. Replace the line with that string LD_SELF_CONTAINED=""
5. Run the genclntsh script
6. Return to the dialog and klick at the 'Retry' button
The install continued, but failed during DB Configuration Assistant.
COMPLETED - Copying Database Files
COMPLETED - Initializing database
IN PROGRESS - Creating and Starting Oracle Instance
The error occurs at that 3rd step. "ORA-1503: CREATE CONTROLFILE FAILED" (IGNORE/ABORT)
The alert Log states:
<snip>
ORA-1503 signalled during: Create controlfile reuse set database iasdb
MAXINS...
</snip>
I checked the directory permissions as well as free space. I am good there. It looks like the control files were created as 3 of them (same size, date, time) as well as 3 redolog files are contained within the oradata directory.
Suggestions? Fixes? Ideas?

the error messages are telling you that either
1) you do not have a running database OR
2) you have not set your ORACLE_SID
Set your ORACLE_SID
export ORACLE_SID=mySIDname
then sqlplus '/ as sysdba'
startup
this should get the instance running if it is not already.
if you get a message stating that you cannot startup an already running instance, then you have corrected option 2 just by setting your ORACLE_SID
you should be OK at this point

You haven't set up your prerequisites such as
pdksh version
binutils version
do the commands rpm -qa | grep pdksh
and rpm -qa | grep binutils
to see which versions you have installed (if any)
You need to set up Environment ulimit and kernel parameters
its in the documentation but to summarise:
to set the ulimits for the oracle user.
Type cd /etc/security
Type vi limits.conf
Add the following lines to the file.
@oracle<tab><tab>hard<tab>nofile<tab><tab>65535
@oracle<tab><tab>hard<tab>nproc<tab><tab>16384
@dba<tab><tab>hard<tab>nofile<tab><tab>65535
@dba<tab><tab>hard<tab>nproc<tab><tab>16384
Save the file.
Note: <tab> means press the tab key.
Check that this has worked by typing
su â oracle
ulimit â aH
You should see something like this
core file size (blocks) unlimited
data seg size (kbytes) unlimited
file size (blocks) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes) unlimited
open files 65535
pipe size (512 bytes) 8
stack size (kbytes) unlimited
cpu time (seconds) unlimited
max user processes 16384
virtual memory (kbytes) unlimited
Press CTRL-D to get back to the root shell.
You now need to set the kernel parameters.
Type cd /etc
Type vi sysctl.conf
Add the following lines to the file
# Oracle additions
kernel.sem = 100 32000 100 100
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 100
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
fs.file-max = 65536
Save the file
Reboot the system to bring in the changes.
Logon as root and do the following:
Type cd /etc
Type vi services
Remove the following 4 lines
ldap 389/tcp
ldap 389/udp
ldaps 636/tcp # LDAP over SSL
ldaps 636/udp # LDAP over SSL
Save the file.
Type cd /bin
Type ln âs /sbin/fuser fuser
All these must be set up before you install oracle 9ias on Linux otherwise you will get the problems you describe :-)

9iAS Installation on RedHat 6.2 Linux -- Reports Server

The installation of 9iAS went pretty smooth. The HTTPD server works, portal works but reports are a dismal failure. Since developer6i reports and forms were installed under ../9iAS/6iserver setting the environment so that they all are started at bootup would be a big plus. Further, I cannot get any reports to run from either the command line or web. I have gone through many notes but still no avail. Would someone PLEASE guide me in setting up the correct environment variables for all elements of 9iAS and integrated start. This has never worked correctly even after step-by-step checks using installation guide and release notes. The bosses want to use Windows, I have sold them on Linux for the time being, so please help.

When setting up the environment variables, I found it easiest (in a development environment) to just add the entries to the /etc/profile file. The following are just examples and may or may not apply to your particular installation:
# Set the oracle home variable
ORACLE_BASE="/u01/apps/oracle/products"
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/8.1.6
# Now to export the variables to the environment.
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME
Hope this helps!

/home/MyData/51031676/database/install/unzip -qqq ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.4.2.0.8
/1/DataFiles/\*.jar -d /tmp/OraInstall2009-04-22_03-59-38PM
I have set DISPLAY variable in this way before starting Installation:
DISPLAY=$HOSTNAME:0.0
export DISPLAY
I tried to search the solution over the internet for this kind of problem, but i am not able to find its solution. Even i tried to start the Orale installation using this parameter: ./runInstaller ignoreSysPrereqs, but still it is giving the same unexpected error.
I have a doubt on File/Directory permissions which are created for Installation in /tmp. The umask setiing of the system is 0022.
Please, help me for this issue.

Hi Markus,

Install of SAP on Linux -glibc-32bit-8.1-9 for Novell SUSE SLES Linux 10.

Hi All
We are installing the Oracle on x86_64 using Novell SUSE SLES 10.
As per OSS note 841728 , (Installation Proble #8) for SUSE\UnitedLinux x86_64 ) we should have glibc-32-8.1-9 and glibc-devel-32bit-8.1-9 installed.
We have glibc-32bit-2.4-31.30 and glibc-devel-32bit-2.4-31.30 installed on Linux server.
My question are :-
1) Do we must have these files (glibc-32-8.1-9) installed? Or will do with glibc-32bit-2.4-31.30.
As OUI gives following warning during installation :-
Checking recommended glibc version.......failed
2 ) where to get these files from? I was unable to find these RPMs?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Dear Hannes
First of all thank you for the reply.
Yes, I am using the "RUNINSTALLER" from SAP directory, but updated "RUNINSTALLER" I downloaded as per OSS note 980426.
Using workaround # 3 , recommended by SAP.
I have downloaded these Oracle CD's (material # 51031676) from service market place 5days ago and they are dated as 11-04-2006.
I have to use OSS note 980426 as I was getting following error

So, I was more concern about Msg# 4, and that's how I came across OSS note Note 841728 - Installation problem #8.
So, I believe we are OK to go ahead and run the installation of Oracle, isn't it????
Thank you again.

Oracle Enterprise 10g Installer Can Not Run in Suse Enterprise Server 11...

I downloaded Oracle Enterprise 10g in Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11. I followed all the pre-installation tasks.

I'm running Suse Linux on VM...
What should i do? I hope there is solution for it other than installing another linux flavor.

On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, the installation will pass the operating system prerequisite checks if you change each 10 or 11 to 9 in the /etc/SuSE-release file. Ensure that you replace the original values in the /etc/SuSE-release file after the Oracle installation is complete.
Original value: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86)
Changed value: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (x86)

Is there some thing we can do to bypass and install with root.Thanks.

No, please install using orasid.
Thanks

Images-charts on 9ias R2 are not shown.

We developped an application with dynamically build
charts on 0C4J (stand alone) on linux(suse). The chartsoftware is from Netcharts
After we installed the Xvfb-Server it works fine.
When we deployed the application on 9ias (suse linux) no charts are shown.
We run the Xvfb-Server as root.
Xvfb runs on DISPLAY:1.0
We only get that error message.
Has anybody ecperiences in that matter or any idea?
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter
It should run. we also have same dynamic chart displayed by an applicaiton deployed at 9ias, the difference is we have Solrais.
We also have xvfb
For just sack of correctness, check the DISPLAY setting that u have set for the OC4J, where u have deployed the application, in opmn.xml file.
This is what opmn.xml for my 9ias is
<oc4j instanceName="PGBU" gid="PGBU">
<config-file path="/ora9ias/home/ora9iapps/j2ee/PGBU/config/server.xml"/>
<oc4j-option value="-properties"/>
<port ajp="3001-3100" rmi="3101-3200" jms="3201-3300"/>
<environment>
<prop name="DISPLAY" value="localhost:1.0"/>
</environment>
</oc4j>
PGBU is the OC4J instance where my application is deployed

Samir
