ASMLib for Fedora 4

Hi,
Did anyone installed ASMLib on Fedora 4 linux. From what i read, is that Fedora is using kernel 2.6.11..... The drivers on OTN are for 2.6.9...
Regards,
Frank

Hi,
I tried your solution. (thanks by the way). But i don't get it working (I am linux newbie).
I downloaded it, extracted it. Then i run "./configure". That went well (at least, i didn get any errors).
Then i run "make". Here i got errors :
make -C include
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/install/oracleasm-2.0.1/include'
make -C linux

ASMLIB for RHELAS3.0

Does the continued absence of ASMLIB for RHEL AS 3.0 mean that automatic storage management is unavailable for this platform?
I have found very little mention of anyone using ASM on linux. Does the installation of Oracle on the ext3 file system remain the most common installation? I found it interesting, for example, that the file system install is the only installation type mentioned in guides such as on puschitz.com

Can you help me?

Oracle database for Fedora Core 7 (x86_64)

I want to install Oracle database on Fedora core 7(x86_64). I tried with 10201_database_linux_x86_64.cpio.gz setup but it does not support Fedora core 7 platform. Please suggest me where to find the proper setup.
Thanks in advance

This trick, from a previous thread worked for me for Redhat 5. You might wanna use it for Fedora;
Copy the oraparam.ini from the installation source install/oraparam.ini to /tmp directory.
Edit the file /tmp/oraparam.ini
Add the name of your distribution on this line. It might work for you
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-3,SuSE-9,redhat-4,UnitedLinux-1.0,asianux-1,asianux-2, Fedora Core 7

Asmlib for solaris

Hi experts
what is the location to download asmlib for solaris
thanx

and you don't **need** asmlib on linux. I find it just gets in the way and performance is a bit slower when in use. Just my observation. YMMV.

Which version of Ocale 9i to download for Fedora Core Linux ?

Hi.
I just bought an external drive to install Red Hat Linux Fedora (which I got from Sams Teach Yourself ...).
Im looking here http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/index.html to decide which version of Oracle 9i I should use.
My new external drive is connected to my laptop, which is an Inspiron 6000.
Any ideas ?
Thanks again.
DA

So if I installed 10g then, which one would I choose
for Fedora?
Linux x86
Linux x86 -64 ??
Thanks.Really ... rocket science ain't all that hard. Let's take a look at your rocket science:
if your hardware is 32 bit, any 64-bit stuff will not work.
if your hardware is 64 bit, and you chose a 32 bit operating system, any 64 bit applications will not work (and in this case the oracle database is an application)
if you hardware and your operating system are 64 bit, any 32 bit application or 64 bit application will work as long as you have the correct libraries (DLLs) installed.
then you decide whether the benefit of 64 bit is greater than the overhead of 64 bit
So ...........
if you have an Inspiron 6000 with the Pentium M processor, you may not have 64 bit capability.
if you have a 32-bit Fedora (which you don't bother stating, do you?) you may not have 64 bit capability
if you do not have 64 bit capability, don;t bother with the 64 bit version of Oracle.

ASMLib for the Linux 2.6 kernel

Does anyone knows when Oracle will release a newer ASMLib for the 2.6 kernel? The current one only works for RH2.1, RH3 and SSL8. SSL9 is now officially supported by Oracle database 10g but why the ASMLib is still lacking? If anyone have any experience of making the current ASMLib to work with the 2.6 kernel, please share the experience. Thanks!
Regards,
Stephen

No Oracle products are certified to run on Oracle Linux 6 yet either. However, once ASMLib is released, it will only be available via ULN, as far as I know.And only for the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, not for the Red Hat compatible kernel.

Oracle 10g for Fedora Linux 3 with Kernel 2.6.9

Can any body suggest a link, from where I can download the Oracle database 10g for Fedora Core 3 Linux with Kernel version 2.6.9-1*.
I went through the oracle site site but i was not able to find a one for Fedora 3 instead i found for Fedora 4.
Thanks.......
Suneel

You will not find one exactly as you require.
As I suggested in the duplicate link
Oracle 10g for Fedora Linux 3 with Kernel 2.6.9 you need to take a version of Oracle that seems to close to your Linux and then carefully tinker to make it work.,

Btrfs May Be The Default File-System For Fedora 16

Having a somewhat odd interest in different types of filesystems, I'd thought I'd share this snippet I wondered across.
Brought up on the Fedora development list are the plans for Btrfs in Fedora, which provides a target of Fedora 16 when EXT4 will be replaced by Btrfs as the default Linux file-system on new installations.
Fedora was one of the first distributions to deploy support for installing the Linux distribution to a Btrfs root file-system, while the Moblin/MeeGo camp has already turned to it as the default file-system, and now Fedora may finally have everything ready and are comfortable with the state of this Oracle-sponsored file-system.
With the intended Fedora deployment of Btrfs, they will also switch from using LVM as the disk's volume manager to instead relying upon the volume management abilities built into Fedora itself. Fedora / Red Hat developers have previously already worked on taking advantage of other Btrfs features, like snapshots, to provide system roll-back support by creating a copy-on-write snapshot prior to each yum/RPM package transaction.
In order to meet the Fedora 16 Btrfs target, Btrfs support needs to be merged into Fedora's GRUB package (or a separate non-Btrfs /boot file-system must be used), Red Hat's Anaconda must be hooked in to properly utilize Btrfs and its volume management features, and the Fedora LiveCD must be re-worked a bit to handle Btrfs. Additionally, the fsck support for Btrfs must be completed. Oracle's Chris Mason is nearly (circa 90%) complete with this task.
Before Fedora 16 arrives we still have Fedora 15 to worry about, which will continue to offer Btrfs as a file-system option while EXT4 remains the default.
Canonical is also evaluating when to switch to the Btrfs file-system and we may see that move similarly happen for Ubuntu 11.10.
This would seem to imply that fedora is giving btrfs the big thumbs up! They currently release twice a year, and fedora 15 is (I believe) Due out this May, so it wouldnt be too wrong to surmise that come Christmas btrfs would be the standard install option. However, I have always thought of fedora as being a little bit of a testing bed for red hat enterprise, so reading between the lines, I am thinking they want to release btrfs to the wild, and get the bugs sqwished so it can be incorporated into red hat, which is a good thing all round, for all concerned.
Quote blatantly ripped from phoronix.
wikipedia btrfs
kernel.org btrfs

There are, as I understand it, three big issues keeping Btrfs from hitting its final "stable" release:
1) No true fsck (as of November, a fix is due "any time now")
2) The logic used for subvolumes (a sort of "virtual LVM" setup) in Btrfs is wholly different from that used in Ext*, JFS, NTFS, HFS, etc; because of this, there isn't yet a single script/program that will accurately display space consumption. Instead, the user needs to run a couple different commands and extrapolate. A little annoying, but it doesn't affect stability.
3) A bug in the COW aspect of the defrag command which, if run with an incorrect flag, can cause a doubling in the amount of metadata on the filesystem (and thus the amount of space it consumes). Again, it won't wreck anything, but would make management tedious if one needs to restore a snapshot to get rid of extra cruft.
These are all mentioned in the FAQ's on the Btrfs wiki, though the wiki doesn't give priority to any of them. I'm guessing that, if Fedora 16 will be using this later in the year, the Oracle folks have told the Red Hat folks that they're planning on plowing through these issues very soon.

ASMLib for CentOS 4.6

Hi All,
I have CentOS 4.6 with Kernel2.6.9-27ELsmp i686.
I've so far been unable to locate a corresponding Driver for it on Oracle site. Unless of course I've been looking in the wrong direction.
Kindly point me in the right direction.
Regards,
Timothy.

Hi Timothy,
unfortunately Oracle does not directly support CentOS. Just RHEL, SLES and OEL.
For that reason there will be no releases for CentOS directly.
However since the kernel seems very similar to RHEL you might get an EL4 release for your kernel.
But now again closet versions out there are:
Drivers for kernel 2.6.9-34.EL
Drivers for kernel 2.6.9-22.EL
Nothing for a 27 Kernel :(
On the other hand, since the source code is GPL you could try compiling it yourself.
Since you are on an unsupported version of OS anyways there is no harm in that.
The sources can be found here (at the bottom of the page):
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/asmlib/index.html
Furthermore, if you don't get ASMLIB to run ASM runs perfectly fine without asmlib.
Its just a best practice to use, because it needs less resources, no hassle with rigths assignment on harddisks etc. But it will also work without...
Regards
Sebastian

Does anyone know when it might be released?

MohamedWhat is your linux and oracle version? To installing ASM you have to take correct version asmlib packages for your OS and kernel version.You have to install following packages.
oracleasm-support-version.arch.rpm
oracleasm-kernel-version.arch.rpm
oracleasmlib-version.arch.rpmRefer below link and download above correct rpms according your kernel version and install these.

SELinux - enabling/disabling for Fedora Core (solution)

SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) is a package that is available on all RedHat and Fedora distributions. Unfortunately the firewall capabilities interfere with Oracle and XE.
It's not an easy package to configure (some say it makes sendfile.cf easy) so the current default choice is to turn it off.
From the man page,
The /etc/selinux/config configuration file controls whether SELinux is enabled or disabled, and if enabled, whether SELinux operates in permissive mode or enforcing mode. The SELINUX variable may be set to any one of disabled, permissive, or enforcing to select one of these options.
For RedHat Advanced Server 4.0, you can disable secure linux by editing the /etc/selinux/config file, making sure the SELINUX flag is set as follows:
SELINUX=disabled
or, at installation,
Firewall Configuration
* For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall
* Select Disabled on the "Enable SELinux" drop down list.
* Click on Proceed when the "Warning - No Firewall" window appears.
Fedora Core 2/3/4: Adding selinux=0 to your kernel command line disables SELinux at boot. Optionally, you can disable SELinux in run time in the latest Fedora Core 2 kernel by setting SELINUX=disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux.

Searches on the net and Metalink for the keltnfy-lmdInit suggest there is a problem in the name resolution.
