Ciclo de Vida Oracle Linux 5.9 x64.

Por favor, alguém saberia dizer-me qual é o ciclo de vida de suporte para o Oracle Linux 5.9 x64.
Estou fazendo uma documentação e preciso explicitar para o cliente até quando eles poderão ter suporte desta versão do Oracle Linux.
Obrigado.

Oracle Linux 6.1 asm packages - oracleasm and oracleasmlib for OEL 6.1 ???

Hello everyone
I am not ULN subscriber, I am trying to learn Oracle ASM/RAC at work.
I am running OEL 6.1 (uname -rm output is: 2.6.32-100.34.1.el6uek.x86_64)
I am looking for two ASM support libraries which are compatible with above Oracle Linux 6.1 X64
Specifically this article refers to 2 packages I need for ASM support:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2RACInstallationOnOEL5UsingVirtualBox.php
•oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el5.x86_64.rpm -- I need this one
•oracleasm-support-2.1.3-1.el5.x86_64.rpm -- this package is now already installed on OEL 6.1 so I dont need this one for OEL 6.1
•oracleasm-2.6.18-164.el5-2.0.5-1.el5.x86_64.rpm -- I need this one
Can anyone direct me to a download link for the above two packages? Even if its from RHEL6.1 as long as it works?
Or does it mean that I must pay Oracle in order to be able to get these packages in order to learn ASM at home ??
Why would Oracle allow us to use their RDBMS/RAC/ASM/Linux software at home learning for free and not supply the above two packages??
thanks

Keep in mind that Database is NOT certified on Oracle Linux 6 anyway, so it is challenging to install. The very article you link to uses Oracle Linux 5. It also links to these very same RPMs. If you follow the article more carefully, you won't have any issues.

Oracle Linux 6 - stuck on Welcome Setup Screen, black screen on CTRL+ALT+F*

Oracle Linux 6 DVD x64.
Installed fine. I selected gnome for UI + all dev packages as I will be doing some dev work on the box.
After install it boots okay and the Welcome setup screen shows up. It allows me to setup connection to ULN, create a user, enable kdump etc. These functions work fine, but right after I finish setting it all up (i.e. the last setting I see is the kdump enable/disable screen), the box goes into limbo state after pressing [Finish] button.
The screen turns black and that's it.
Also when I tried to switch from the Welcome setup screen to a terminal mode, i.e. by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 (tried ...+F2 also) the box gets stuck too. There is no way to go back to the X session, i.e. CTRL+ALT+F6 (F7, F8). It is just stuck on the black screen.
Here's some specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P8H67-M Pro (with B3 revision of Sandy Bridge)
CPU: Intel I5-2500 (VPRO) (BX80623I52500)
Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB (compatible with m/b + run memtest86 for hours without error)
Video: using built in Intel HD (could this be the issue?)
After re-boot I'm back to Welcome setup screen.
Notes:
1. Boots fine if 'singleuser' is appended to the kernel boot line in GRUB, but that's not the point. I would like to run UI.
2. I have tried removing 'rhgb' and 'quiet' kernel boot parameters to no avail. I have actually stripped the kernel boot line in GRUB down to 'ro' and that would not help either.
3. Ubuntu 10.10 x64 runs fine.
4. Windows 7 x64 runs fine.

You may have a hardware or system bios issue in combination with the existing drivers. Have you checked the vendors home page for your system? What clues exit in the log files in /var/log?
It sounds like you are using a Latop. Oracle Linux, like RHEL is not designed for desktop and mobile computers. Installation success will depend on your hardware compatibility, but you will very likely be missing appropriate drivers for wireless, video and power management.
If Enterprise Linux is a requirement and you are not using it as the primary OS, or if the computer hardware lacks support, how about installing Oracle Virtualbox and install Linux as a guest OS - I'm pretty sure this should work.

GUIDE: Oracle VM VirtualBox and Oracle Linux NIC bonding

Author: Dude
Date: 01-Jun-2013
Version: B
Last updates:
23-Jul-2013, changes required due to forum upgrade
The following is provided in the hope that it might be useful. If you wish to use it for the purpose of reference, presentation or education, please include the link or information to this forum posting. Thank you!
What is Linux network interface bonding? Simply put, the Linux system provides a kernel driver, which can create a logical network device (bond) using 2 or more Network Interface Controllers (NIC) to accomplish link-aggregation and adapter fault-tolerance. For more information, please see the Deployment Guide at https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/
The channel bonding interface supports several modes of operation. In a typical active-backup set up for fault-tolerance, the system performs MII-based health monitoring of the network interface slaves (eth0, eth1) and assigns them according to bond options and interface availability. In active-backup mode (mode 1), only the current active network device is seen externally.
Linux bonding for fault-tolerance under Oracle VM VirtualBox does not seem to function as advertised. Searching the Internet for more information shows that other people have tried to set up Linux bonding using various virtualization products, virtual host network adapter and bonding options, but without success.
It appears the management of Media Access Control addresses (MAC) interferes with internal routing methods between the host and the virtual machine guest. Using the modinfo bonding command (fig. 1) shows a listing of available parameters for the bonding kernel module. The fail_over_mac parameter addresses the Mac address issue in VirtualBox.
Fig.1
# modinfo bonding
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.39-400.17.1.el6uek.x86_64
                /kernel/drivers/net/bonding/bonding.ko
parm:           fail_over_mac:For active-backup,
                do not set all slaves to the same MAC;
                0 for none (default), 1 for active, 2 for follow (charp)
Configuration Example
Virtualization Product: Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.2.10
VM Guest OS: Oracle Linux 6.4 (x64)
VM adapter settings: Bridged Adapter, Paravirtualized Network (virtio-net)
Adapter1 (eth0): 080027436617, en0, Ethernet 1
Adapter2 (eth1): 08002708F36A, en0, Ethernet 1
Note: If you wish to reset the network adapter names and MAC addresses used by the Oracle Linux guest system, erase the content of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and restart the virtual machine.
1. Create or modify the following configuration files:
/etc/modprobe.d/bonding-eth0_eth1.conf
alias bond0 bonding
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=10.0.2.12
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
GATEWAY=10.0.0.138
DNS1=10.0.0.138
DNS2=8.8.8.8
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no
BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100 fail_over_mac=1"
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
USERCTL=no
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
USERCTL=no
2. Restart the system or network services (root):
Fig. 2
# service network restart
Configuration Test
Enter the following commands as user root to verify proper operation of NIC bonding:
Fig. 3
# tail /var/log/messages
bond0: setting mode to active-backup (1).
bond0: Setting MII monitoring interval to 100.
bond0: Setting fail_over_mac to active (1).
bond0: Adding slave eth0.
bond0: making interface eth0 the new active one.
bond0: first active interface up!
bond0: enslaving eth0 as an active interface with an up link.
bond0: Adding slave eth1.
bond0: enslaving eth1 as a backup interface with an up link.

bond0: making interface eth0 the new active one.
# ifconfig

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:43:66:17
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
During the above test, the client network connection from host 10.0.0.1 (ssh) was maintained without any noticeable interruption. As it can be seen from the syslog and ifconfig command output, the bond0 interface was automatically assigned either the MAC address of eth0 or eth1 and the fail-over worked as advertised.
Good luck!

New installation woes - SQLDeveloper on Oracle Linux x64 and Oracle 11g XE

Note that as an experienced Oracle developer in enterprise environments running MS Windows OS, I am familiar with SQLDeveloper for Windows. I don't have a lot of experience with Linux however. I don't find it intimidating, I just don't have a lot of accumulated knowledge.
I have recently been trying to set up a development environment on my Windows7 Professional x64 laptop.
1. Installed Oracle VBox
2. Installed Oracle Linux 5.2 inside the VBox (because Oracle 11g XE is not certified on 64 bit Windows, needed to go with a Linux OS)
3. Installed Oracle DB 11.2 XE
4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
5. Installed SQLDeveloper 3.1.07.42-1
No apparent issues with any of the installations.
Problem : I can run SQL Plus from the command line, but when I click on the icon for SQLDeveloper, nothing happens. No error messages, nothing else.
Question #1 : Unsure how to debug/troubleshoot this. Will read through the installation and release notes for SQLDeveloper, but any suggestions would be welcome.
Question #2 : Could this be due to an issue with the JDK installation? It appeared to be successful (no obvious issues) but I can't see anything in the Oracle Linux menu system that tells me the JDK was installed successfully. How can I confirm that the JDK installation was successful?
Edited by: Peter Hartgerink on Jun 19, 2012 9:12 AM

>
The Linux x64 version of SQLDeveloper doesn't come bundled with JDK. There is a version of JDK recommended, with an advisory to install it before installing SQLDeveloper. This I did, with apparent success. I guess I'll have to install the JDK again and check my Java versions afterwards. Thanks.
>
I don't know what JDK you downloaded since you didn't say. What version was it? Post the link.
I find it hard to believe that the JDK version recommended was 1.4.2 since that is an ANCIENT version of Java, you have to hunt to even find it for download and most importantly the sql developer main download page clearly announces what version of Java is needed.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html

JDK Support
Oracle SQL Developer 3.1 is shipped with JDK1.6.0_11. However, you can connect to and use any JDK 1.6.0_11 or above. To use an existing JDK, download the zip files listed below "with JDK already installed."
>
As you can see you need JDK 1.6.0_11 or above.
If the version you say was recommended was actually 1.4.2 then that is an error; post the details so the developers can get that error fixed.
I don't know what is on your system and can only go by the information you provide
>
4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
java version "1.4.2"
>
You either downloaded version 1.4.2, which seems unlikely, or your Linux included 1.4.2 and it is being used when you try to launch sql developer.
Perhaps your system now has multiple versions of Java on it but the version being used by sql developer is the wrong one. If so that is the issue you need to resolve.

Oracle Linux, like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, does not support upgrading from one major version to another, and you cannot use yum to perform the installation.
You can try using the installation DVD, but:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/ch-upgrade-x86.html
Red Hat does not support in-place upgrades between any major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A major version is denoted by a whole number version change. In-place upgrades across major releases do not preserve all system settings, services or custom configurations. Consequently, Red Hat strongly recommends fresh installations when upgrading from one major version to another.

Fail to download Oracle Linux x64

Hello.
I study exam guide for taking 1Z0-052 and I wanted to download Oracle Linux for Oracle 11g Enterprise edition installation. I received such an error:
Thank you for accessing Oracle E-Delivery. Due to your country location, we are unable to process your request. If you have an active support contract, you may request physical media by either submitting a Service Request or calling Customer Support. If you wish to purchase or evaluate our products on a 30-day trial please contact then appropriate Sales Representative for your country.
There are no problems with downloading Oracle 11g Enterprise, I mean my country (Azerbaijan) is not on a list of restrictive countries.
Could you help me please or suggest any alternative solution to my problem?

As for how to get files?
You use a computer that has the proper outside access, then you copy the downloads to transportable media such as a CDR or DVD-R disk, then you move the files to the system where you eventually need them.

Thanks,

It looks like the system has trouble opening or finding the /boot volume. I don't think it is an incompatibility with your hardware. You might however want to make sure you installed a recent VMware version and have correct settings to support x64 guest OS. I'm not using VMware anymore, but under VirtualBox such issue can be due to missing I/O apic and VT-x support in the BIOS.

Oracle Linux 6 installation FAILURE on VMWare virtual machine

I just downloaded OEL 6.0 x64, created a new VMWare virtual machine (I have many VMWare VMs running various flavors of OEL 5) and did an installation. It all seemed to work fine. I was just testing, so I didn't do any customization. It finished, and looked good, just like all the other ones I've done. I clicked "reboot", and it did. Or it tried to.
It did boot from the disk, but after about 15 seconds, it said:
No root device found
Boot has failed, sleeping forever.
I retried the installation using a fresh VM, and even let the installer check the whole DVD first. Same result.
Anyone installed OEL 6 to a virtual machine on VMWare ESX?
Any idea what the heck could be wrong?

The problem is:
The Red Hat compatible kernel includes the vmw_pvscsi driver whereas Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel doesn’t. The kernel that the installer boots first does have the drivers, which is why everything is set up fine until UEK tries to find the root volume. It's an issue we plan to address in an updated kernel.
For now the workaround is:
When creating a new VM in VSphere, do not pick Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 x86-64 as the OS type but use Oracle Linux 5 x86-64 (or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5). ESX will then expose the LSI logic scsi controller to the OS and the 2.6.32-100.28.* kernel will work.

/dev/shm on Oracle Linux 6.x to run Oracle 11g R2 - manual configuration?

Hello
We are building a server to run Oracle 11g R2 database (11.2.0.3 x64) on Oracle Linux 6.2 with UEK R2.
Our preference is to use AMM to have Oracle 11g R2 manage memory. We may impose some minium SGA and PGA memory allocations but basically aim to use MEMORY_TARGET to manage overall memory.
By default Linux makes the size of /dev/shm ~50% of server physical RAM, as far as I can tell.
Here is the /etc/fstab entry created by the installation:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
Given this Linux server will only run Oracle 11g R2 database and some monitoring software, almost application code will run on the server. The application code will run on the separate application server and is Java based.
Can I change the */etc/fstab* entry for /dev/shm to manually increase the size to take up ~80-90% of the server physical RAM ? Is it a good idea?
The server is 64-bit, the RAM = 64 GB, so I am thinking to manually make /dev/shm to be = ~55GB, leaving ~8GB for other purposes.
Right now it's about 32GB (50%?) if I leave the /dev/shm 'defaults' on.
many thanks

thanks,
I have read the doc (what little there is on this topic).
I have asked on the database forum......
just FYI - below is the proof:
SQL> show parameter mem
NAME                    TYPE     VALUE
hi_shared_memory_address     integer     0
memory_max_target          big integer 4G
memory_target          big integer 0
shared_memory_address     integer     0
SQL> show parameter ga
NAME                    TYPE     VALUE
lock_sga               boolean     FALSE
pga_aggregate_target          big integer 1600M
pre_page_sga          boolean     FALSE
sga_max_size          big integer 3G
sga_target               big integer 1600M
still does not work.
And I cant change memory_max_target = 0 because I get error on startup:
SQL> alter system set memory_max_target=0 scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup;
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
ORA-00843: Parameter not taking MEMORY_MAX_TARGET into account
ORA-00849: SGA_TARGET 3221225472 cannot be set to more than MEMORY_MAX_TARGET 0.
BUT if memory_max_target is > 0 then alert log says hugepages can not be used
it feels like catch-22.....
thanks

Problem installing Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 from Oracle e-Delivery

Hello
I have been trying to install Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 from Oracle e-Delivery so that I can install Oracle 11g express edition beta.
Here are the steps that I took and the problem that I am having:
1. I downloaded the file, unzipped the file twice, which gave me 3,042 files and 13 folders with the total size = 3.07 GB.
2. I put in the DVD and restarted my PC hoping that my PC will boot from the DVD, but instead Window started.
I reported this issue to tech support from e-Delivery, but they referred me to contact you. Please assist.
Julia

3,042 files and 13 folders with the total size = 3.07 GBWhich download .zip did you choose from edelivery? Under linux-x64 I peeked "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 for x86_64 (64 Bit) - DVD" file V15099-01.zip downloaded, it has just the one .iso file. You'll need to burn that to DVD, but with burn s/w that handles ISO files.
Also keep in mind you'll need 64 bit hardware (amd/intel 64? itanium? those are different), the only *nix platform I've got handy to try it out is -x86 :(

How compatible would it be to install Oracle Linux on a Sun Fire X2200?

Are there reports of incompatibilities of tape units with the Oracle Linux on SunFire X2200 ?

According to the Sun web site:
http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x2200/os.jsp
Red Hat 5 works, so Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (OEL5) should work also. You can find the instructions at their web site:
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-6599-13/Chap3.html
You should check with your hardware vendor to make sure they will support the hardware if you run OEL5.
As far is Oracle is concerned, check the web site:
https://linux.oracle.com/hardware.html
for the official policy.
Hope this helps

Oracle Linux 6.2 - hyper-threading

Hello
two simple questions, I hope 8^)
if I installed OL 6.2 and then also upgraded to UEK R2, on X64 Intel server - both tasks done with hyper-threading enabled and then I want to disable hyper-threading after OS installation - do I need to make any OS system/parameter changes at Linux OS level or simply turn off H/T at hardware level and reboot the server ?
is there general recommendation re when H/T is beneficial on Oracle Linux with UEK ?
what about if I added more RAM to the same 64-bit Intel server? Any Linux OS changes required to get all RAM recognised by OS ?
thanks!

A recommendation does not mean the absolute best solution for every situation. There has been no information about any particular software deployment or even the particular CPU in question.
I agree with you that enabling or disabling HTT in regard to achieving the best possible performance for a particular scenario is subject to testing. But, if someone asks me what is the recommendation about HTT in regard to Oracle UEK kernel, and possibly Oracle RDBMS, my suggestion is to use the default and leave HTT enabled. I'm not aware of any documentation that suggest to generally disable HTT when using Oracle. Saying "it depends" is scientifically correct, but not helpful.
There are already plenty of discussions about HTT on the net. You can turn HTT off and experience a performance increase, but there is also a chance the performance was even better with HTT enabled in a properly configured system or application. There are cases were HTT apparently slows down performance, but drawing a conclusion about enabling or disabling HTT in regard to performance is often too simple due to many other factors that can interfere with the results.
Dude the link you supplied referenced some old ibm information.Well, Hyper-Threading isn't a new feature.
For what it's worth, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading in particular "Drawback history".
Or http://www.intel.com/support/processors/pentium4/sb/cs-017371.htm#1c which also links to more performance info.
