ASM, Unbreakable Linux, Installer Sees no Candiate Disks

I have installed ASM library dirver, and thought I had configured disks using:
/etc.init.d/oracleasm createdisk ORADATA1 /dev/sdd1
/etc.init.d/oracleasm createdisk ORADATA2/dev/sdc1
when I run /etc.init.d/oracleasm I get
[root@blah ~]# /etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
ORADATA1
ORADATA2
Howveer when installing Oracle 10gR2 at the Configure ASM screen I can not add any disks. Any ideas?

Hi,
Please refer to the note on http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/install.html
NOTE: Once you mark your disks with Linux ASMLib, Oracle Database 10g R1 (10.1) OUI will not be able to discover your disks. It is recommended that you complete a Software Only install and then use DBCA to create your database (or use the custom install).
and you must run '/etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks' on the all other node.

-- Oracle Unbreakable Linux hangs during installation --

Hi
I am trying to install the new Oracle Unbreakable Linux on a 2 CPU Intel Pentium 4 64 bits server. During the first CD installation it hangs just after you select if you want to install using the graphical mode or the character base mode (it hangs in both modes).The point where it fails is
mounting /tmp as ramfs....... done
running install...
running /sbin/loader
Has anybody experience the same behavior or do you have any suggestions?
This error does not happen when I try to install either SUSE 9 or 10 nor Red Hat 3 or 4,
so I do not think is the hardware.
Any help will be appreciated.

Ok. New update. I had rejiggered my desktop hard-drives and the DVD drive and in the process had not set the proper Master / Slave settings on the DVD drive. After I fixed that, it did start installing.
I selected the Server configuration and later selected the "Install everything" option. It failed after about 30 minutes while installing the snmp package. It said that it was a serious error due to media error or no disk space. Both of which seemed improbable because the media test resulted fine and I had 160 GB of Hard disk space !. I had to abandon ( well no choice actually ) and restart. This time I chose the Workstation configuration and just added the scientific packages. This time it installed ok, but, new problem.
I do not see ANY applications at all in the Applications drop down menu. Not even as root.
Hmmm. I would hate to start digging around in gnome. It is a distraction from what I really intend to do. To start developing applications on 10g on Linux ! Damn.
Any advise ?

Oracle Grid Installer cannot list available disks

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Oracle Database 11g R2 64-bit with ASM on an Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5 64-bit.

Hi Srini,
I have tried as you mentioned like installing Java in C:\Java... and I have tried the by setting the JRE_LOCATION of local path. No use of it.
tried with -jreloc and setting the java path in environment variables too.
As I understand, the problem i have seen at files copied path is not expected as required. Please see the path below...
C:\DOCUME~1\v859971\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall2013-09-06_03-36-31PM\jre\bin\javaw.exe.
After running the Setup.exe -deinstall... temporary folder is creating with timestamp and all the required files are coping here...
"jre" folder also created and copied required java files directly into jre folder, but not in jre\bin folder.
folder path is like this
C:\DOCUME~1\v859971\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall2013-09-06_03-36-31PM\jre\javaw.exe.
Setup application is expecting jre\bin\javaw.exe, but folder structure is created as jre\javaw.exe. There it is coming the issue.
I have even tried with copying all the files into bin folder and executed the setup.exe, it again creating a new temporary file
not able to resolve it...

Installing Application Server 10g 2 on Unbreakable linux

Hello all,
I wish to install Application Server 10g 2 on Oracle Unbreakable Linux EL5. Could someone please let me know if there are installation instructions for the App Server on EL5?
Also, when I go to [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html] to download release 2 for Linux x86, the tooltip has the file named as "as_linux_x86_portal_wireless_101202_disk1.cpio". Does anyone know if this is actually the App Server???
Last, but not least, I downloaded disk 1(I'm assuming it's the correct software) and tried to "unzip" it in /home/oracle to run the Universal Installer and Oracle Unbreakable Linux doesn't recognize the file extension .cpio. So my last question then would be is Oracle Unbreakable Linux even a suitable version of Linux to install the App Server on? Because it seems strange that the software Oracle has on its website can't even be opened on their own flavor of Linux.
Any help answering my questions will be appreciated.
-Thank You,
David Wrbelis

Hi,
I did just a while ago.
If you got a joice, use Unbreakable Linux 4 (RHEL4), 10g2 on Unbreakable Linux version 5 is not officially supported by Oracle!
At least my Server was complaining about the system. After extracting the .cpio you can either use
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or go to redhat-release file (I'm not sure in the moment, I believe its /etc/redhat-release) and set it to version 4 instead of 5 until installation is done.
You will get an error during installation, when it appears rename libXtst.so.6.0.0 to libXtst.so.6.0 and press retry, the installation will finish successfully.
You might get an error that opmn could not start. Start it manually, the error won't appear, you can ignore it (press continue).
Your config wizards should ALL be successful!
About the file you downloaded, I was using a different one, since I only needed Forms and Reports service, you might want to have the full Server, so there are more than one correct downloads for 10g2. You need to look carefully what features you need or load full version (which would be several cds I believe).

Error while installing 10g on oracle unbreakable linux

hi all

I got the following error while installing oracle database 10g on oracle unbreakable linux
when my installer peforming product specific prerequiste check i got the warning
checking operating system requrement

I tried to search gcc-3.2 on my linux cd but its not there
can anyone please tell me from where can i install this?
thanks

Which gcc is in your CD? List them all.
And yes, they are there. Unless someone gave you a rescue disk or stripped down live CD, in which case you need to thank the person who gave you that appropriately.
You need to search the CD/DVD and you need to learn how to install RPMs. Both can be learned by intelligent internet searches.

DB+ASM with linux clustering

Dear All,
We are going to install Oracle single instance 11.2.0.3 with ASM, on linux clustering. Can anyone through some light on that. I searched in google and could not able to find good doc.
Can oracle binaries can be shared (with shared disk) between two servers and creating two listener will help ? (if node1 fails, db can be accessed by node2 listener).
Regards,
Anand.

AnandKumar wrote:
Is it possible to share the oracle binaries (i.e installing oracle in one server only) so that after failover we access the both the binaries and ASM data..Yes. Install the ORACLE_HOME on a clustered file system that can be mounted and used by another server. ASM supports ACFS. There are also OCFS and GFS. Never done this myself, but the Oracle installation docs cover this as far as I know.
Keep in mind though that the o/s hooks (such as an +/etc/inittab+ setting for the OHASD daemon) will not be included on a server that mounts and uses the cluster file system, on which an actual Oracle install/setup was not done. So it is not a mere matter of installing onto a clustered file system on one server and expect that to work when mounted by another server.

How Do I Install Oracle Unbreakable Linux on My Virtual Machine

I would like to know the steps required to install Oracle Unbreakable Linux on my Virtual Machine, cos i tried to but i keep having problems when i get to selecting the destination for the installation, the prompt says i have to allow it format my hard disk wont i lose my files in the process.

When you create a virtual disk for your VMWare instance the format will only affect this disk. You can see this as it will display the size of the disk. If this is the size of the virtual disk (default = 8 GB) then go ahead. If this looks like your normal HD just stop and read the VMWare installation Guide from www.vmware.com

Installing ASM on linux : /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 [failed]

Hi all,
Oracle unbreakable linux
oracle 10.2.0.1
I got this error while mark ing the disks for use by ASMLib
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 [failed]
I already performed the steps mentioned below
uname -rm
Ex:
# uname -rm
2.6.9-22.ELsmp i686
The example shows that this is a 2.6.9-22 kernel for an SMP (multiprocessor) box using Intel i686 CPUs.
Use this information to find the correct ASMLib packages on OTN:
1. Point your Web browser to http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html
2. Select the link for your version of Linux.
3. Download the oracleasmlib and oracleasm-support packages for your version of Linux
4. Download the oracleasm package corresponding to your kernel. In the example above, the oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm package was used.
Next, install the packages by executing the following command as root:
rpm -Uvh oracleasm-kernel_version-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
oracleasmlib-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm \
oracleasm-support-asmlib_version.cpu_type.rpm
Ex:
# rpm -Uvh \
> oracleasm-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-2.0.0-1.i686.rpm \
> oracleasmlib-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm \
> oracleasm-support-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm

Linux installation problem on D20

Hi, guys,
I am trying to install Redhat Linux x86_64 5.3 on D20 with a Marvell 88SE63xx/64xx SAS controller. As the Linux installer cannot recognize the SAS controller, I download a driver of Marvell mv64xx for Redhat x86_64 5.2 from Lenovo driver matrix website. Unfortunately, no matter how I follow the instruction to load the driver, the so-called mv64xx doesn't drive the Marvel 88SE63xx/64xx SAS controller in D20, so that the Redhat 5.3 Linux installer cannot find any hard drive. This is ridiculous and ironic because I got 5 SAS 15rpm hard drives in D20. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem and get Redhat Linux 5.3 installed on D20 with SAS drives?
Solved!

hello, good news everyone
today i tested the upcoming kernel 2.6.31-1 with ubuntu server x64 (9.10 / karmic)

the kernel included the mvsas module and its dependant, and ran out of the box doing anything. and yes, it's a software raid, the bios offers raid 5 and 10, but they are greyed out. okay, my graphic is now broken with 2.6.31-1, but hey, the 5 port's are working i almost forgot where i have put the 500gb disk. hdparm -tT showed 7.8gb/s buffered and 77mb/s normal read, which is normal for the drive.
because of the nature of a module, i believe you have to compile a kernel with support of mvsas on your own to boot linux from it, or you use the ich10 - only for optical drives - sata port, which works fine with the intel x25-m ssd.

How to install 10.2 DB on Unbreakable Linux , should i use GCC 3.2 or 3.4 ?

Hi !
I'm trying to install Oracle 10.2 on Unbreakable Linux (installed in Virtual PC).
My problem is on package gcc-3.2.
On distribution of Unbreakable Linux download from Oracle web - there is no gcc-3.2, so i download and try to install gcc-3.2 from RedHat, that requires cpp 3.2-7.
I have installed cpp 3.4.6 that i can't uninstall because xorg-x11 requeires it. I don't want to loose X11 in my Linux :(
When i was try to use gcc-3.4.6-3.1 installation failed witch error :

I see in this forum some solutions but none works for me (I´m installing Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 x64) to solve this problem I put libXp lib but the problem is the same.
The library is installed:
[root@SRVAXILAB072 oracle]# ll /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 16 18:10 /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6 -> libXp.so.6.2.0
[root@SRVAXILAB072 oracle]#
But I think the installation process are searching in /usr/lib but I didn´t have the library in 32b I tried to copy to /usr/lib and another crazy ideas but didn’t work.
I read alot of post and guides for installation process but I didn´t see nothing to install Oracle in Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5
Some ideas??
If not..... I will try with Oracle Unbreakable linux 4 :(
Thanks
Best Regards

Well, I've not been in touch with installs on linux myself for a long time, but it seems you need a few 32-bit libs. Try installing libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm.

Oracle 10g RAC on Oracle Unbreakable Linux 4, on 3 HP-DL380 Install Instruc

I am searching for installation assistance (ie install guide) for Setting up an OUL4 RAC Cluster, I have found instructions using a VMserver but am interested in using 3 HP-DL380 machines. Is there a guide detailing such an installation or should I attempt to utilize the VMserver install guide, ignoring the VM references in support of 3 specific machines?
Thank You for any assistance you can provide
NickG

I guess I need to specify that I will be responsible only for the "OS" Side of management and installation of the system. Do I follow the standard installation, of a standard download of Oracle Unbreakable Linux on each of the 3 machines, and then continue with RAC cluster installation as explained in the above link?
Thanks

I've seen similar problems when I've forgotten to install all the required RPMs. So double check with the docs and the latest readmes, it might be your solution

Install SOA Suite On Unbreakable Linux

I'm trying to install the latest SOA Suite on Unbreakable Linux. The installation halts due to Unbreakable not being the correct OS version. Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks

How can I remove asm and ocr installation in AIX?

Hi,
I try to install single instance with using ASM in AIX.
But I did not make successfully.
Now I want to remove ASM and OCR installation then
I will plan to make new clear installation.
How can I remove asm and ocr ??
Or How can I control my removing is fully correct ?

1) ASM Instance Clean-Up Procedures
Stop all of the databases that use the ASM instance that is running from the Oracle home that is on the node that you are deleting.
On the node that you are deleting, if this is the Oracle home which from which the ASM instance runs, then remove the ASM configuration by completing the following steps. Run the command srvctl stop asm -n node_name for all of the nodes on which this Oracle home exists. Run the command srvctl remove asm -n node for all nodes on which this Oracle home exists. If there are databases on this node that use ASM, then use DBCA Disk Group Management to create an ASM instance on one of the existing Oracle homes on the node, restart the databases if you stopped them.
If you are using a cluster file system for your ASM Oracle home, then ensure that your local node has the $ORACLE_BASE and $ORACLE_HOME environment variables set correctly. Run the following commands from a node other than the node that you are deleting, where node_number is the node number of the node that you are deleting:
rm -r $ORACLE_BASE/admin/+ASMnode_number
rm -f $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/*ASMnode_number
If you are not using a cluster file system for your ASM Oracle home, then run the rm or delete commands mentioned in the previous step on each node on which the Oracle home exists.
2) Deleting an Oracle Clusterware Home Using OUI in Silent Mode
!!! Oracle recommends that you back up your voting disk and OCR files after you complete the node deletion process.
If you ran the Oracle Interface Configuration Tool (OIFCFG) with the -global flag during the installation, then skip this step. Otherwise, from a node that is going to remain in your cluster, from the CRS_home/bin directory, run the following command where node2 is the name of the node that you are deleting:
./oifcfg delif –node node2
Obtain the remote port number, which you will use in the next step, using the following command from the CRS_home/opmn/conf directory:
cat ons.config
From CRS_home/bin on a node that is going to remain in the cluster, run the Oracle Notification Service Utility (RACGONS) as in the following example where remote_port is the ONS remote port number that you obtained in the previous step and node2 is the name of the node that you are deleting:
./racgons remove_config node2:remote_port
On the node to be deleted, run rootdelete.sh as the root user from the CRS_home/install directory. If you are deleting more than one node, then perform this step on all of the other nodes that you are deleting.
From any node that you are not deleting, run the following command from the CRS_home/install directory as the root user where node2,node2-number represents the node and the node number that you want to delete:
./rootdeletenode.sh node2,node2-number
If necessary, identify the node number using the following command on the node that you are deleting:
CRS_home/bin/olsnodes -n
Perform this step only if your are using a non-shared Oracle home. On the node or nodes to be deleted, run the following command from the CRS_home/oui/bin directory where node_to_be_deleted is the name of the node that you are deleting:
./runInstaller -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=CRS_home
"CLUSTER_NODES={node_to_be_deleted}"
CRS=TRUE -local
Deinstall the Oracle Clusterware home from the node that you are deleting using OUI as follows by running the following command from the Oracle_home/oui/bin directory, where CRS_home is the name defined for the Oracle Clusterware home:
./runInstaller -deinstall –silent "REMOVE_HOMES={CRS_home}"
Perform step 9 from the previous section about using OUI interactively under the heading "Deleting an Oracle Clusterware Home Using OUI in Interactive Mode".
