Hi,
iam planning to implement oracle 10g and 11g rac.Can anyone of you provide me the best hardware configuration which suits the need.
I can spend a reasonale amount.
This is for homesetup,implementation and practice all major activities that's all.
So please provide me a nice coniguration.

HI,
For your home testing you might need a latest technology to get a smooth and fast installation. i7 processor might be the ideal with memory at least 8GB. if you're planning to have more than 3 VMs running at the same time than you need 12-16GB memory at least.
From my experience installing on vm and allocated memory 2.5GB each VM the installation could take 15-30minutes
Cheers

Hardware Configurations for Oracle 10g AS

Hi,
I'm looking for Hardware Configurations on various platforms which Oracle AS 10g supports. Basically i'm looking for details for these on each supported platforms.
No. Of CPUs
CPU Speed
RAM
Disk Space
I would appreciate if someone point me some document on this.
Thanks,
RK

Those parameters are more of a function of intended use (ie the application and which components of AS involved). There are absolute minimum values to enable installation (not use) of the software in each platforms Install Guide.
For certified platforms, check with you sales contact or Oracle Support.

SYSTEM HARDWARE REQUIREMENT FOR ORACLE RAC +ORACLE GRID INFRASTRUCTURE

Hi Guru's,
Can anyone of you explain me what exactly the system H/W requirement for Installing Oracle 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure along with Oracle RAC.
I already have 8GB RAM,i3 Processor.

If you like to install RAC on vmware, this 8gb memory enough. you can allocate 2gb for one node and also other. So total 4GB enough for RAC installation.

Hardware Configuration for Oracle DB on DELL Server

We are currently running Oracle 8.0.5 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. This is a DELL PowerEdge 6600 server with 8 73GB Ultra SCSI Hard Drives. We will be upgrading to Oracle 9i in the future. Question: What would be the recommended Hardware RAID Configuration? We've heard that RAID 10 would be a good configuration to implement. What would be the best way for us to configure our server? We would like a high fault tolerance, good performance system. Our database isn't very large in size (10GB) but, we do require 24 x 7 availability. By the way, switching to a different operating system is not an option for us.

You've probably read this already; but, the documentation has some minimums: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26996_01/e18548/CHDJCIFD.html
The management server doesn't require anything special.

Best hardware configuration for photo editing in Aperture and/or Photoshop

I am looking to replace my existing iMac, and want to know best setup to handle photo editing. My current system (6 years old, 8GM RAM) does get bogged down some in Aperture.

photoshop and video edit rely mostly on memory and IO speed
a bit on cpu and less so on video chip (as those are useful mainly for 3d and mainly gaming 3d but a also a bit for pro 3d)
so SSD or hybrid would help
and 16GB mem
and you don't really need the max cpu model but midrage is useful

Any Oracle best practice/standards for inter-DataCente links for Oracle RAC

Hello Oracle Experts,
Am working for a customer to set up Oracle RAC architecture hosting SAP/Non-SAP applications per SLA levels(MC/BC/Standard) specs. Currently my network team needs calculation to arrive at whether we will go for a (1), (2) or (3) 10Gig links for inter DC (Data-Center) for Oracle RAC.. below is additional background:
•     Porting all client SAP/Non-SAP Oracle databases to new 2 data-centers.
•     There will be 10 blades (4x BL680s and 6x BL460s) in each DC (can scale-up/out later on).
•     Clusters architecture to support Extended/Stretched RAC cluster feature
•     Clusters 2-node each(1-datacenter1, 1-datacenter2) and nodes distributed across 2 x c7000 such that no cluster has more than one node in an enclosure.
•     Each node will have - 4 NIC ports ( 2 x public and 2 x private) , 2 dual-port HBA
•     Oracle ASM/ACFS (ASM Cluster File System), Voting Disk, OCR and Database files
•     the versions are Oracle 11g RAC, Oracle 10g RAC and Oracle 9i (for DataGuard/Standby) on RHEL 6 on Proliant Blades (x86) + BladeMatrix
My network colleagues considering using DWDM across the 2 DCs(given the lesser cost?). Am still looking around if there are any Oracle/industry-best practices around this and having a calculation to support that..
Many Thanks in advance..

Abhijit

Hi ,
There are no specific set of steps / practices for batch loading contents to ucm . It would be very much dependent on how many contents does the user have to load to UCM and how well the server is configured in terms of performance .
You can get more details from the following documentation link : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/doc.1111/e10792/c02_settings009.htm

Your Hardware configuration for RAC.

Hi,
What would be the best hardware solution for your regarding RAC? or put in another way, what hardware configuraton you are using for your RAC?
regards,

hi
As good as you could provide for your RAC. RAC could be built on simple
P IV machines having a shared storage and two NICs with 100Mb speed connected via low speed network.
If i would be using a 2 node RAC, i would use two 64-bit server class machines with 4G RAM each, high speed shared storage, and Nodes connected through GB speed NICs with fiber optics.
It would really give me a lot of satisfaction.

Adding Box for Oracle RAC(Clustering) to BIW 3.5 Oracle/Linus

Hai Gurus,
Suppose if we have 1 box with Bw3.5 Linux/Oracle and add another box to do Oracle RAC(clustring). Do we need to re-instal the Box 1 also or we can do that with small configuration changes.
Guide me.
Regards,
Mano

Hi Mano
As in most cases there is a short answer and a longer one. Short:
If your system is RAC ready, switching from single instance to cluster database and adding a new node is quite simple. From pure application side there will not be major changes necessary.
Long:
What do i need for oracle RAC, what do i have to do to make my system RAC ready?
Hardware / OS
You will need shared disks, cluster fs, on linux mostly OCFS2. If you don't have it yet, you need to get it and move your database on to it. You would probably need an additional lan interface for the interconnect.
Oracle / Database
You would have to install CRS, that is the oracle cluster software. Your oracle instance, listener will run as services controlled by CRS when RAC is enabled. You will need to configure separate redo threads and undo tablespaces for each node you add. Not least you would probably need an additional costly RAC extension license from your favorite oracle sales rep.
SAP
You should think about separate enqueue server and enqueue replication, although this is not mandatory. This is dependent on your reasons for using RAC. If it is high availability you should go for it.
This is not a complete list, i just wanted to give you an initial idea, please ask if you need further details. If you start into RAC just now, you will have a long way to go, otherwise the short answer will apply.
Best regards
Michael

Encountered ora-29701 during Sun Cluster for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 startup (UR

Hi all,
Need some help from all out there
In our Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 (Solaris 9) configuration, my team had encountered
ora-29701 *Unable to connect to Cluster Manager*
during the startup of the Oracle RAC database instances on the Oracle RAC Server resources.
We tried the attached workaround by Oracle. This workaround works well for the 1^st time but it doesnt work anymore when the server is rebooted.
Kindly help me to check whether anyone encounter the same problem as the above and able to resolve. Thanks.
Bug No. 4262155
Filed 25-MAR-2005 Updated 11-APR-2005
Product Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition Product Version 9.2.0.6.0
Platform Linux x86
Platform Version 2.4.21-9.0.1
Database Version 9.2.0.6.0
Affects Platforms Port-Specific
Severity Severe Loss of Service
Status Not a Bug. To Filer
Base Bug N/A
Fixed in Product Version No Data
Problem statement:
ORA-29701 DURING DATABASE CREATION AFTER APPLYING 9.2.0.6 PATCHSET
*** 03/25/05 07:32 am ***
TAR:
PROBLEM:
Customer applied 9.2.0.6 patchset over 9.2.0.4 patchset.
While creating the database, customer receives following error:
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
However, if customer goes from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the problem does not occur.
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS:
It seems that the problem is with libskgxn9.so shared library.
For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the install log shows the following:
installActions2005-03-22_03-44-42PM.log:,

For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6, install log shows:
installActions2005-03-22_04-13-03PM.log:, [libcmdll.so ->%ORACLE_HOME%/lib/libskgxn9.so 64274 plats=1=>[46] langs=-554696704=>[en]] does not exist.
This means that while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5, Installer copies the libcmdll.so library into libskgxn9.so, while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6 does not.
ORACM is located in /app/oracle/ORACM which is different than ORACLE_HOME in customer's environment.
WORKAROUND:
Customer is using the following workaround:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on ioracle ipc_udp

Gig Ethernet V/S SCI as Cluster Private Interconnect for Oracle RAC

Hello Gurus
Can any one pls confirm if it's possible to configure 2 or more Gigabit Ethernet interconnects ( Sun Cluster 3.1 Private Interconnects) on a E6900 cluster ?
It's for a High Availability requirement of Oracle 9i RAC. i need to know ,
1) can i use gigabit ethernet as Private cluster interconnect for Deploying Oracle RAC on E6900 ?
2) What is the recommended Private Cluster Interconnect for Oracle RAC ? GiG ethernet or SCI with RSM ?
3) How about the scenarios where one can have say 3 X Gig Ethernet V/S 2 X SCI , as their cluster's Private Interconnects ?
4) How the Interconnect traffic gets distributed amongest the multiple GigaBit ethernet Interconnects ( For oracle RAC) , & is anything required to be done at oracle Rac Level to enable Oracle to recognise that there are multiple interconnect cards it needs to start utilizing all of the GigaBit ethernet Interfaces for transfering packets ?
5) what would happen to Oracle RAC if one of the Gigabit ethernet private interconnects fails
Have tried searching for this info but could not locate any doc that can precisely clarify these doubts that i have .........
thanks for the patience

Nilesh

Can any one pls confirm if it's possible to configure
2 or more Gigabit Ethernet interconnects ( Sun
Cluster 3.1 Private Interconnects) on a E6900
cluster ?Yes, absolutely. You can configure up to 6 NICs for the private networks. Traffic is automatically striped across them if you specify clprivnet0 to Oracle RAC (9i or 10g). That is TCP connections and UDP messages.
It's for a High Availability requirement of Oracle
9i RAC. i need to know ,
1) can i use gigabit ethernet as Private cluster
interconnect for Deploying Oracle RAC on E6900 ? Yes, definitely.
2) What is the recommended Private Cluster
Interconnect for Oracle RAC ? GiG ethernet or SCI
with RSM ? SCI is or is in the process of being EOL'ed. Gigabit is usually sufficient. Longer term you may want to consider Infiniband or 10 Gigabit ethernet with RDS.
3) How about the scenarios where one can have say 3 X
Gig Ethernet V/S 2 X SCI , as their cluster's
Private Interconnects ? I would still go for 3 x GbE because it is usually cheaper and will probably work just as well. The latency and bandwidth differences are often masked by the performance of the software higher up the stack. In short, unless you tuned the heck out of your application and just about everything else, don't worry too much about the difference between GbE and SCI.
4) How the Interconnect traffic gets distributed
amongest the multiple GigaBit ethernet Interconnects
( For oracle RAC) , & is anything required to be done
at oracle Rac Level to enable Oracle to recognise
that there are multiple interconnect cards it needs
to start utilizing all of the GigaBit ethernet
Interfaces for transfering packets ?You don't need to do anything at the Oracle level. That's the beauty of using Oracle RAC with Sun Cluster as opposed to RAC on its own. The striping takes place automatically and transparently behind the scenes.
5) what would happen to Oracle RAC if one of the
Gigabit ethernet private interconnects fails It's completely transparent. Oracle will never see the failure.
Have tried searching for this info but could not
locate any doc that can precisely clarify these
doubts that i have .........This is all covered in a paper that I have just completed and should be published after Christmas. Unfortunately, I cannot give out the paper yet.
thanks for the patience
