Are Dell Poweredge 2900 servers compatible with Oracle VM?

I am seeking information on installing Oracle VM on a new model dell poweredge 2950 server. The existing hardware is pre-installed with "validated" Virtualization – VMware® ESX software 3.x.
This pre-installed "validated" Virtualization is partly installed on an SD-Card/USB device attached to the mother board. The existing white paper at DELL does not address this SD-Card/USB configuration [http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/solutions/ovm_ref_config_final.pdf?c=us&cs=04SP10&l=en&s=bsd] . I prefer a response from the Oracle VM team or Dell Employee.

I am not sure if Oracle VM server 2.1.2 will install in a Dell PE 2950 but I have installed it on a PE 1950 with no problems. After installation I turrned on VM in the bios and I have been able to install and run a couple of PVMs on it. If the 1950 and 2850 use the same motherboards then it should work for you too.
However, I have to admit to a concern with this server which may require me to reinstall the OS on it. I have a dual port qlogic HBA installed on it. "Lsmod |grep ql " indicates that the qlogic modules are installed but there are no relevant entries in /proc/scsi. If I boot up the server and use the qlogic firmware, i am able to verify that the card is installed and I am able to get the MAC addresses.
I have installed VM server on 2850's with older qlogic cards and did not encounter this sort of problem. I am not sure if this is caused by the newer qlogic card, the 1950 Motherboard, or some other factor.
Unfortunately, this server is physically located 50 miles away from me and I am unable to test out different theories. The first chance I get , I plan to install RH Linux and the usual EMC software on this server, configure it to see LUNS on the SAN then reinstall VM server on it. That should either eliminate a lot of question marks for me or give me some directions to address the issues.

  • Which version of Weblogic on Solaris is compatible with Oracle 8.1.7 - Unicode?

    Hi folks,
    We want upgrade WLS 4.5.1 to one of the last version of WLS, but also we are
    planing upgrade Oracle to 8.1.7 version and migrate the character set of the
    database to UTF8 (Unicode),
    so we need to know which versions of WLS are compatible with Oracle 8.1.7
    and Unicode as Character Set.
    Thanks in advance.
    Moises Moreno.

    Hi Moises Moreno
    The latest version of weblogic server is 6.1 with service pack 1. This version
    supports oracle 8.1.7 on major unix platforms viz., solaris(2.6,2.7,2.8),
    hp-unix(11.0,11.0i), linux7.1, Aix4.3.3 and on windows platforms viz.,
    NTwithsp5, 2000.
    BEA jdrivers are having Multibyte character set support (UTF8).
    Note : Weblogic server 5.1 with SP10 also supports oracle 8.1.7.

  • SQL Developer 3.0.04 generated scripts not compatible with Oracle 10g (XE)

    HI,
    I tried to do an export from one XE database (still 10g) to another XE database. (also 10g).
    I tried to do a database copy as well as a separate export and import (by loading the file and running as a script).
    Neither of them work without modifying the files as it seems that SQL Developer generates scripts that are only compatible with Oracle 11g.
    - Create table contains "segment creation automatic"
    - Storage clauses contain parts that are not compatible with 10g
    I ran through the wizard several times but neither can I find an option to choose for compatibility with earlier versions of Oracle.
    Checked the preferences screen as well.
    Is this a well hidden option or is it not possible to make this work for 10g.
    Extra : found workaround by removing the storage clause to the export. Is there another way that does not force me to remove the storage clause?

    I'm sure this is far from the supported way to fix this but, seeing that it's apparently an issue with the classpath or something in it, I hacked <sqldeveloper_install>\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.bat and added [ORACLE_HOME]\jdbc\lib\ojdbc6.jar to the classpath. At least that gets me started with 3.0 and lets me create TNS connections.
    I'd really appreciate a better solution, if any of you kind folks knows of something.
    Thanks,
    Kelly

    Thanks in advance!
    -Babu

    So I'm taking it the question is -
    Is 1.2 Sql Developer compatible with 11g DB?
    The short answer is Yes. We are constantly adding new functionality and better support for the newer Databases. For Example to use the real time Sql monitoring that became available in 11g you will have to be on at least 2.1 Sql Dev. Is there some reason you don't want to upgrade to the latest Sql Dev? If not the current EA version then at least the current production version?
    Thanks,

  • Install in a Dell PowerEdge 2900

    Hi there, I have an Dell PowerEdge 2900 Server. But it do not boot arch. I read that need some certified or something like that. Iso image is good, it boot from other computers without problem. Any idea?

    Uranio-235 wrote:it bot, but sayd "isolinux.bin missing or corrupt"
    Are you sure your CD is valid? (Is it a real CD or USB key?). Are booting in BIOS or in UEFI mode? If it is UEFI, disable secure boot in the firmware. How have you created your CD? If you simply copy all the files, I think it will boot in UEFI mode, because the firmware looks for a file; but not in BIOS mode, where you have to burn the raw image. If you have still some problems, be sure to describe the problem and what you have done in details.

    My MacBook died and my hard drive was removed, are my existing files only compatible with Apple products? Are the files encrypted with Apple OS or am I able to import my files to Microsoft programs?

    The drive as a whole can’t be read on a PC without installing software such as MacDrive on it.
    The answer varies for individual document files; some file formats can be read by Windows software, while others can't.

    Would anyone know if Oracle10g Developer Suite is compatible with Oracle 9i Application Server? I mean, If I upgrade from Oracle9i Developer Suite to Oracle10g Developer Suite , do I have to upgrade the Oracle application Server as well?
    Kind Regards,

    you would have to check each technology separately
    e.g will 10g forms run on a 9i Forms server ? prob. not. then again they might but I won't try it in production.

    If you do this only for cost reasons, you should reconsider.
    My guess is this is some managerial directive.I agree with you that any flavour of *nix is better than Windows, but the reality is that there might be situations where a Windows-platform is better.
    If the entire server park is Windows, then the delivery will be better with a platform change. It's much likelier that the machine will stand abandoned in a corner, slowly rotting away if nobody really knows how to to manage the beast...
    The world isn't black and white, and it isn't always about which is the better technical platform. If it was, the whole world would be using *nix-servers... ;-)
