Can RAC support Oracle VMs ONLY ?

Can RAC support Oracle VMs (virtual servers only) ? ie No physical servers.
or must have a mix of physical and virtual servers for RAC ?
QN

No Real Application Cluster technology has ever supported more than one database.Quite untrue.
I know that both you and Tom Kyte take the stand that a cluster should have only 1 instance per node.
That doesn't mean that it is not possible to have more than one database in a cluster -- i.e more than one instance in a node.
That doesn't mean that it must always be so. Installing a separate cluster and additional EE + RAC licences for a separate database can be quite expensive. Of course, your reply is "consolidate". That is another debate that has been going on for years.

Can Oracle 11g RAC support 2 separate databases?

1. Can Oracle 11g RAC support 2 separate databases given that it asks for SCAN ip for cluster with a single Listener port number?
2. Will the Oracle 11.2 database connections work successfully if I setup a mandatory DNS server within the Oracle RAC servers?
I'm leading a team for a 11g project and appreciate responses.
Thanks
Satish.

Oracle VMS for X86 version 2 can upgrade to VMS version 3?A method?

Oracle VMS for X86 version 2 can upgrade to VMS version 3?A method?Need,
Now I don't want to go to my server, do not want to make too big movement, the need to upgrade the VMS, although Oracle 2 cannot be upgraded to 3.0.

Thanks for any help
I think others have answered most of your questions, but you indicated that "iTunes 10 is for Intel Macs only" -- that is not actually correct, you can certainly run iTunes 10 on your G5 PowerPC. What you need to do is:
(1) upgrade to 10.5 operating system
(2) upgrade to iTunes 10
While Apple doesn't officially sell 10.5 anymore (Apple sells 10.6, but 10.6 won't install on your G5 PowerPC), if you call their 800 number and explain that you need it to use your new iPhone, they may be able to sell you a copy from old inventory. Alternatively, some retailers are still selling older inventory 10.5 install DVDs but you need the version that installs on any computer, many 10.5 disks are made for a specific model only.
Before you do either (1) or (2) above, make sure you have enough memory as indicated by Apple in their system requirements. If you need more memory, it is inexpensive to upgrade.

Does NFS support Oracle RAC with TAF ?

Hi,
Does NFS support Oracle RAC with TAF feature. ?
If yes, please point to some valid document to prove the same.
Regards
Sumit

TAF has nothing to do with the underlying storage architecture and is therefore 'supported' with your choice of asm, raw devices, cluster file system and NFS. NFS is supported on some platforms. For more details, check the certify tab in metalink. Some information can also be found here
TAF will be available on any rac installation, but not all drivers support it (jdbc-thin for example)

Oracle RAC support NFS in AIX

May I ask a question...
My environment: SAP run on the AIX. may I use the Oracle RAC by NFS in AIX for Oracle HA ...?

Hi Dennie,
As far as I read from the development update SAP on Oracle, SAP supports NAS NSF with RAC 11.2 on all Unix platforms. Check the link http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d053aa41-75b6-2d10-95b5-9a961a5ae750?quicklink=ora&overridelayout=true
Check the statement in the note "1416773 - Oracle Direct NFS", below;
Advantages of Oracle Direct NFS :
Since NFS is a shared file system, you can also use this
implementation for Real Application Clusters (RACs). Oracle Direct NFS
recognizes if an instance is part of an RAC installation.

Orkun Gedik

I can turn my phone on only when connected to power. however it cant pick up signal it says connect to apple/support but I cant plug in to computer as it needs power I think the battery aerial is stuffed can I still backup phone if i put into get repaired

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

Oracle RAC support in CIAC

Hi,
Does CIAC support Oracle RAC clusters? I'd like to put a bit of resilience on the Oracle database backend and so would like to setup an Oracle RAC. If I did would this invalidate any support if there was an issue with connectiviity to the database.
Regards,
Mohammed Rakhada

Cisco Advanced Services have a service to install using RAC One Node, and PO supports RAC as well.

How can i do the RAC with Oracle 9i ?

How can i do the RAC with Oracle 9i ?
The Oracle 9i has a RAC(Real Application Cluster)module , please who can tell me how can i let it working .
Which hardware the RAC need's
Thank All ,
[email protected]

That is right you need atleast 2 boxes. The two servers will use the same hard disks.
The concept is an extension of OPS(Oracle Parallel Server).
Basically, you install Oracle Server Software on both the boxes, One database will be shared by both the servers. You can access your database through the Server1 or Server2. If Server1 fails then the Server2 will take over all the connections. You can add or remove any servers to and from the cluster any time you want with out impacting your production.
They share load, reliable, scalable....

Oracle can not support upto 32 characters table name and field name ?

hi
oracle up limitation ?
create table aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa(a char);
Error
ORA-00972:identifier too long
or
create table a (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa char);
Error
ORA-00972:identifier too long
Oracle can not support upto 32 characters table name and field name ?
It is true?
null

Hello All
It's been a year after those posts about the limit of identifiers in Oracle Database. Does anybody know what can be done to get rid of that primitive limit? We are developing using Application Servers, Java, generated Code and a very nice object model, in which we can't just use abreviations because of early database age memory shortcomings.
We are currently using 8i in a very large organization. Is there any chance this version can be configured to allow larger identifiers? Is upgrading to 9i going to solve this problem? Is Oracle Databases really doomed forever because of a 20-year-ago limitation?
Please, I do like Oracle Databases. I don't want to be flooded with quick answers like "just use 32 character identifiers". I would like to hear a serious solution. Is anybody there still locked in the 8.3 filename paradigm of MS/PC-DOS? Does anybody has to fit an entire Enterprise System in segmented 640Kb of memory? Does anybody has to use monochrome character mode interfaces? Of course not those in the mainstream.
I also know that other hadrware and software products have lots os limitations. Take Windows 2000. Its command line has a limit of 255 characters! You can't have more than 4GB of memory in a PC! However, one can't expect one mistake to justify others.
I wish I were very wrong in this respect, and all it should be necessary is to turn on some kind of configuration parameter in 8i to allow us to develop high quality code.
Thanks for your attention.
Please, feel free to contact me if you have a solution.

DI and Oracle RAC support

Hello,
Do you know if DI 12 support Oracle configured in RAC mode?
if yes, how is it possible configure a Datastore for Oracle RAC configuration?
Thanks,
Renato

Yes, RAC is supported. Your TNSNames.ora entry wil look slightly different but from the datastore you just mention the tns alias as before.

Does WLS6.1 which uses Oracle can't support TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITED?

Hello.
          Oracle doesn't support TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITED.
          Does it mean that WLS6.1 which uses Oracle can't support
          TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITED ?
          Thanks
          Hyun Min.


WLS can support ReadUnCommitted just fine.
          Oracle's database does not support that isolation level. You probably
          want ReadCommitted. That'll run fine in Oracle.

How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster

Dear all:
please advice How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster service ..
thanks ,,

Without RAC, you can only have one instance manage the database. One instance = one set of processes communicating via IPC.
Unless you know of a way to have processes use memory-based IPC across nodes, you need to pick a node and install & run the database software on that node.

Can i install Oracle ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 on weblogic 10.6 ?

can i install Oracle ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 on weblogic 10.6 ?
what the difference between ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 and Application Development Run time 11.1.1.6 ?
can i use ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 instead of Application Development Run time 11.1.1.6 to deploy application (contains many jsf pages with rich faces and many taskflows and BC4J) ??
i'm using jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0 and weblogic 10.6 installed on the Linux server

Hi,
JDeveloper 11g R1 (11.2.3) supported as ADF essentials and running on WebLogic 10.3.6 are the same releases. The difference is that a path is needed if you want to deploy the software on WLS 10.3.6. Quoting the release notes:
+"The ADF Runtime will be installed into a standalone application server by applying an Opatch bundle on top of a 11.1.1.6 version of the Application Developer Runtime environment. In the event that additional patches are needed or desired in addition to the 11.1.2.3.0 patch (for example, if an additional patch is needed for another component in the Application Development Runtime installation), those patches will need to be installed separately.+
+Important note: The patch is intended to be applied to an Application Developer Runtime installation. Applying the patch to a different installation type (for example, Oracle SOA Suite or Oracle WebCenter) is not supported."+
Release Notes: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/11gr2update3-1851251.html
For Glasssfish you don't need to patch the server and only install the ADF runtime libraries - also explained in the Release notes.

Can you install Oracle 10g on REDHAT LINUX ENTERPRISE WS?

According to oracle documentation, it says you can install oracle10g on Redhat enterprise version 3 or 4, but it doesn't specify whether its Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS or WS. Can you install oracle 10g on Rehat Linux Enterprise WS?

Oracle Certificaction Matrices says only RedHat AS/ES is supported for database. AFAIK WS means workstation.
Also this link is very clear: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_61_1135.shtm
Besides the above sentences... If the WS installation is providing all required packages (listed in installtion prerequisites) I belive that Oracle DB could be installed on WS but as I (and the above link) said it is not officialy supported.

Can I use Oracle database Standar Edition One?

Hi,
In what versions of database can use Oracle Lite, to my central Database?
Can Oracle Lite support Oracle Standar Edition ONE?
In the official documentation only mentions Enterprise Edition and Standar Edition
Thanks in advance

Just quickly viewing oracle's datasheet on the product, I don't see why you couldn't. I don't think it is supported to work with Oracle Mobile Server though. Also, the maximum CPUs supported are 2 on Standard One. Depending on how many mobile users you require, this could be a bottleneck.
