Confusion with windows bundle patches on RAC

Hi there,
My client asked me to "apply the newest patch" on his RAC 10.2.0.5 enviroment on Windows. Please, could you explain me what i should exactly do? I've downloaded 10.2.0.5 Patch 20 (the newest version). My question is: Should i apply it using OPatch to both: ORACLE_HOME and CRS_HOME? or only in ORACLE_HOME? What with 10.2.0.5.2 CRS Patch? Should i apply earlier CPU patches? Could you explain me what should i do?
Thanks

Hi,
Follow the Readme.txt file from the patch folder.
Thanks

Windows Bundle Patch Readme concerns

Hi,
Refer to readme;
https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download?type=readme&aru=16686937
My understanding;
* Installing Oracle Restart requires using the Grid Infrastructure installer.
* Typically GI components are patched prior to Database.
* The Readme ONLY covers single instance and RAC patching.
My assumption is that Oracle Restart needs to be patched prior to the database.
I believe the Readme instructions are inadequate to perform this task.
Can anyone confirm my concerns?
Should I raise an SR for this?

If you have doubt on a patch installation readme, then yes, raising a ticket is probably the best way to make it clear. Nicolas.

Confused with Windows and Parallels

Dear all,
Please can someone help?!
I have a MacBook Air.
I've been able to download Parallels onto my MacBook Air.
But how do I get Windows to work via Parallels? Do I have to do the bootcamp thing for Parallels to recognise it?
A

You have to buy Windows. Having done that, run Parallels and select the option to create a new guest OS. Follow the prompts.

How to apply Bundle Patch in Rolling Mode for 2 Node RAC

Hi Guys,
I have a 2 node RAC environment (11.2.0.3) where each node has there own local Grid_home and RDBMS_home.
I am installing a Rolling Bundle Patch with OPatch in this environment. The installation document says that "The order of patching in RAC install is GRID_HOME, then RDBMS_HOME" so i did the following.
1. stopped all oracle related services on node1
2. set oracle_home=<Grid_home>
3. applied the opatch
4. opatch succeeded on node1 and it says "The node 'NODE2' will be patched next... Is the node ready for patching? y
Here i am bit confused.
1. Should i shutdown the oracle services in Node2 and continue to patch the Grid_home ? If yes then the DB will be completely down for user access. This defeats the purpose of rolling mode which says there is no downtime.
2. Should i patch the RDBMS_home on node1 , start all the oracle services on node1 , stop the oracle services on node2 and then resume the opatch on node1 which is waiting to patch the Grid_home on node2 ?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Ashok Kumar.G

Hi Sebastian,
14613223 patch install instruction did not mention about opatch -local option.
Here is what i followed and completed the installation successfully.
1. Shutdown all oracle services on node 1
2. applied opatch for grid home and then rdbms home using "opatch apply -local" on node1
3. Started all oracle services on node 1
4. Shutdown all oracle services on node 2
5. applied opatch for gridhome and then rdbms home using "opatch apply -local" on node 2
6. Started all oracle services on node 2
7. executed post installation steps on the DB (@catwinbundle.sql & @utlrp.sql )
Thanks,

Baselined patches not working with Windows 7x64

I have baselined some patches for a few Windows 7 64bit machines we are
using now. If I look at the 'Bundle Deployment Status Details' for the
machine in ZCC it shows Distribution and Installation Success. Looking on
the machine the patches are not installed. In event viewer I do find the
following errors at the time of the supposed install success but nothing
else. Running 10.2.2 on the client and 10.2.2 on the Windows 2003 server.
I can install the patches fine via Windows Update or manually. Does
patching work properly with Windows 7 64bit? Didn't see anything in the
docs or in the knowledgebase.

Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates.

Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates...so I know what not to install.
Plenty of sites list and summarize individual patches, I want one that consolidates problems and complaints so I can better assess the risk. Currently I'm waiting to install patches several days and doing google searches. That works, but I'd rather find a place
that does it with expertise.
Which forums would be best to look for such problems.
Thanks in and advance for suggestions

Hi,
I agreed with Cyber and Rick.
Windows update helps to keep your PC safer—and your software current—by fetching the latest security and feature updates from Microsoft via the Internet.
Although there might be some problems when installing it, Windows update is not the one to blame.

Also, i notice that using window 8, i am able to capture Bluetooth message but i am not able to display wireless perfromance statistics such as signal strength, throughput, etc? Is there a way for me to get such information.
Please help.

Installing the patch to make adobe photoshop elements 9 work with windows 7 computer

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 has been installed in our new computer with windows 7.However, we can not get pictures to download from our digital camera into
the new computer. A computer tech tried to do this several times and each time it said the "patch" had been installed correctly, connecting camera and computer program, but then it would suddenly say the patch install had failed. Has anyone encountered this problem and found the solution?

Hello brokelynn,
How impatient are they expressed in kilo$$   - and what's on those photos ;-))
I can not clearly understand:
- have you updated to windows 7 - or just updated windows 7 to the newest patches?
- what do you mean by: I tried adding some actions
   - did you add some entries under actions - or do you use just tags named something like ^actions^?
   -> where you successful to do that, or went something wrong while doing this?

I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch.

I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (frequent crashes, much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch available.

My experience with Win98 is that it is not a very stable system, regardless of software used. For example, Win2000 and XP are far more stable than 98. I've had it crash on its own if I leave the computer on for several days.
I wouldn't recommend running programs for long time (few days) on this OS.
This being said, can you be more specific in your question. What kind of stability problems did you have, which VIs did you run (if possible post them here), did you change the interrupts and priority levels on those VI, do you get error messages or blue screen....

Problems with RAC installation with Windows 2000 Advanced Server

Hello,
I've two servers in cluster mode with W2K Advanced Server, and a RAID-5 array of 4 disks shared by both of them. My problem is that I've installed The Cluster Service of Windows in order to have an active/passive configuration of my servers, because I have a common directory structure that is accessed by the PC's of the LAN.
By another hand, I want to install Oracle Real Application Cluster to manage my Oracle database but after create the extended partition and the logical drives when I execute the file \preinstallation_rac\clustersetup\clustersetup.exe to create the cluster, when I select the option Create a cluster the following error message appears me:
"Any disk Oracle partition has been found. Stop this wizard, create an Oracle partition and try it
again."
I'd like to know if it's possible to have the Service Cluster of Windows 2k and the Oracle clusterware?¿ Altough before begining the installation I've stopped my Cluster Service as documentation suggests. If somebody knows what it's happening to me I'd be really very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Isabel

Hello Joel,
I've already read all documentation provided by Oracle about Real Application Clusters
and I've not found anything to solve my problem. Certainly I want to use OCFS but when I
try to execute preinstall_rac\clustersetup.exe to install CFS the error appear and I can't
continue with RAC installation.
Besides I've tried command "lsnodes -v" and got :
Could not load CM.dll
Could not initialize cluster
And when I've tried to run "clustercheck" I've got :
** Copy File: Create Directory failed - Error 183
** Directory = \\192.168.1.111\Cy$\Temp\opsm
Created directory \\192.168.1.112\Cy$\Temp\opsm
Could not copy file to other nodes [error = 183]
I've read metalink Note 186130.1 Clustercheck Fails with Windows Error 183 and the only
proof I haven't done is get the clustercheck.exe release1(9.0.1).
Any suggestion will be very appreciated.Thanks,
Isabel

Is it possible make a RAC WITH WINDOWS XP?

is it possible make a RAC WITH WINDOWS XP?
i saw this link..
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B10766_08/prewin.htm
and watch this information:
Operating System
RAC for Windows 32-bit is supported on the following operating systems:
- Windows 2000 with service pack 1 or higher. All editions, including Terminal Services and Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Edition (MLE), are supported.
- Windows Server 2003

If you have metalink access you can check the CERTIFY matrix....I just checked and looks like Oracle10gR2 RAC on Windows XP with both 32bit is not supported, but 64bit is.

Hello,
I'm trying to apply the bundle patch 32, p9303471_10204_Win32.zip, on the readme.txt document says the following:
NOTE for bug 8292378:
Follow the instructions below for a logical standby database.
On Windows platforms, the MAXLUBA_STACK Logical standby parameter may need to be adjusted to a smaller value to reduce virtual memory usage per-process. The default is 8000000. This value should be inversely proportional to the number of apply processes applying large transactions. [For e.g. start with 4million and adjust as needed if continue to run into out-of-memory errors.]
Set SQL apply parameter as follows using SQL*Plus:
SQL> alter database stop logical standby apply;
SQL> exec dbms_logstdby.apply_set('_MAX_LUBA_STACK', 4000000);
When I've run on my database I've get the following:
SQL> alter database stop logical standby apply;
Database altered.
SQL> exec dbms_logstdby.apply_set('_MAX_LUBA_STACK', 4000000);
BEGIN dbms_logstdby.apply_set('_MAX_LUBA_STACK', 4000000); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-16104: invalid Logical Standby option requested

Hi Susan,
2 possible solutions:
1. as root user, "chmod -R 777 /tmp" and retry start CRSdon't set it to 777 as it would lead to a security nightmare.
the problem is indeed a permission problem. the script tries to write to the file as user oracle and to remove it afterwards. the error message is from the removal.
check, if oracle user can create files in /tmp and if not fix it by setting the proper permissions which are 1777 (drwxrwxrwt).

Recognizing an iPod with Windows Vista

I have a new computer that came with Windows Vista. I have not been able to get iTunes to operate correctly for Windows Vista to recognize the USB connection to my iPod. Anyone have a patch or downloadable software suggestion to resolve this?

groans
I finally figured I had nothing to lose--I'd just downloaded a new version of Real Player, which supposedly will work with iPods and Windows Me--and I let my computer format the iPod, hoping that would let it work with Windows again. Apparently not. Now it won't turn on--it's giving me the folder-and-exclamation-point icon. Resetting it didn't help, and I can't restore it because I can't install the software to my computer in the first place.
I suppose the only thing to do is borrow a friend's computer or something.

How do I use HP Photosmart 8150 software with Windows 7?

I recently bought a new PC that uses Windows 7. When I purchased my HP Photosmart 8150 several years ago (and used Windows XP), it came with software that could be used for importing pictures, editing, cropping, printing different sizes, etc. That software is not compatible with Windows 7. Is there a patch or upgrade out there that I can download to get this up and running again?

Your printer can be used with Windows 7 as the basic driver is included in the operating system. Some older printers are not compatible with Windows 7 at all.
If you want a printer with software that has all the bells and whistles you will, unfortunately, have to upgrade to a newer model.
