Creating Swap Partitions for Oracle 8

I am in the delimma of having already installed RedHat 5.2, with
the intention of installing Oracle 8, however, I have created a
swap partition of 32MB on a machine that has 48MB of RAM.
Rather than repartition my hard drive to create a swap partition
that is three times the size of the RAM installed, (as
recommended by the installation guide), would I be able to
create a swap file to overcome this limitation?

You can create swap on a file using the following script. Replace
"u01" with your mount point. Change "count" to the number of 1K
blocks you want.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u01/swapfile bs=1024 count=524288
mkswap -c -v1 /u01/swapfile
chmod 0600 /u01/swapfile
swapon /u01/swapfile
swapon -s
null

  • Error while creating datasource userdsn for oracle 10g Errorcode (998)

    while creating datasource userdsn for oracle 10g i am getting error "The setup routines for the oracle in OraDb10g_home1 odbc driver could not be loaded due to system error code 998" please give reply soon

    Thanks for your reply , Steve.
    I noticed that there is a default datasouce on the EM with the following parameters:
    <data-source
              class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
              name="OracleDS"
              location="jdbc/OracleCoreDS"
              xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleXADS"
              ejb-location="jdbc/OracleDS"
              connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
              username="scott"
              password="->pwForScott"
              url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:oracle"
              inactivity-timeout="30"
         />
    The location and xa-location attributes that I use for my "test" data source are the same as the default one. So, could this be the issue?
    What should be the values for location and xa-location attributes from my "test" data source?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • If i create a partition for Windows 7, and boot up in Windows using Boot Camp, can I still access the files from the Mac partition (Photo's Music etc.)

    If i create a partition for Windows 7, and boot up in Windows using Boot Camp, can I still access the files from the Mac partition (Photo's Music etc.)

    Ok Great,
    Will installing Boot Camp drivers allow me to both read and write to the OS X Volume from windows?
    This is important as if it will it means i can make the windows partition a lot smaller and keep all my files on the OS X partition which would be preferable.
    Jon
    No, OSX will be read only (from Windows) and vice versa. (you can install 3rd party utilities on either or both partitions, to make read/write possible)

    If I create a partition for Bootcamp that is at least 30 GB in size, is that all the storage I get when running Windows?

    There are differences between each Mac and what the original configuration of the Mac is/was. If your Mac originally came with an Optical drive, burning the ISO to a DVD and using it will work. Hardware modifications like Optibay will cause problems. Modifying Bootcamp info.plist will cause problems. Disk Utility partitioning will cause problems. A custom Hybrid MBR will cause problems. External Optical drives are unlikely to work. There is long litany of grief.

  • Createing a DSN for oracle

    I need help creating a DNS for oracle. I am using windows 98 and the database is in my computer. I am trying to create a DNS on the same computer so that i can access it through ASP that is setup on my computer ( Mircrosoft Personel Web Server ) which is very similar to IIS. I tried creating user,system, and file dns but none of them work. I recive a errors when i try to create these, none of them are able to connect to the oracle instance that run on my computer. Please HELP!

    I have created a DSN in a web server (a Public IP machine) that is mapped to a Oracle DB.
    In my Excel using VBA coding, with the help of RDO object I will call the DSN in the Web server using the connection string like "DSN=ORS;UID=SDATA;PWD=SDATA;"
    This is working fine and in this case the client machine doesn't need Oracle client to be installed or any TNS entry.
    The user can run the Excel report by clicking a button and the click event connects the DSN in the web server (through its URL) and routes to the mapped DB and fetches the quried data.
    Please note that the above DSN is created based on Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver.
    But the issue is using the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver I couldnt call the SP with Ref Cursor.
    When I searched in Internet I came to know using the provider oraoledb.oracle we can call SP that uses REF CURSOR.
    Now my question is what is the driver name that I can use to create a DSN to make use of the provider oraoledb.oracle for calling the SP with REF CURSOR from Excel VBA coding ?
    Appreciate your prompt reply.

  • Creating a partition for UEFI (Install Help)

    Hi everyone. I've been trying to search for an answer for this for a while and have came up blank. I'm ready to switch over to Arch Linux officially, after testing it in VirtualBox for a while. However, I'm a tad confused on some of the documentation for the partition setup for UEFI motherboards.
    I understand partitioning can be more of a 'personal preference' type of thing, but was wondering if someone might be able to assist me in how it should be setup.....
    Reading from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … n_in_Linux, should I create the partition like so or should there be a separate boot partition for UEFI?
    Should it be setup like this?
    Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
    sda1 Boot Primary Linux 15440 <-- FAT32 Filesystem for UEFI
    sda2 Primary Linux swap / Solaris 1024
    sda3 Primary Linux {rest of space}*
    or like this...?
    Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
    sda1 Boot Primary Linux 15440
    sda2 Boot Primary Linux 512 <-- FAT32 Filesystem for UEFI
    sda3 Primary Linux swap / Solaris 1024
    sda4 Primary Linux {rest of space}*
    Additionally, secondary question, from the Beginners Guide, it has the following line for installing GRUB..
    grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck
    For "--efi-directory=/boot/efi" is this something that I will need to create manually? I saw some forum posts where people needed to place something in their bootable usb drive, but I'm using a Live Disk. Thanks.
    Edit: Solved second question.

    After much research, I've found a lot more information on this. I'm going to take this approach I think..
    Setup partitions like:
    Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
    sda1 Boot Primary Linux 15440
    sda2 Primary Linux swap / Solaris 2048
    sda3 Primary Linux {rest of space}*
    After setting up file systems.. Then do this..
    # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
    # mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
    # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
    When installing GRUB..
    # pacman -S grub-efi-x86_64
    # grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck
    # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    Can someone confirm if that is the correct setup? Also, as it states I need to make it a FAT32 Filesystem, will this affect anything if I have my entire boot partition on FAT32?

  • How to create swap partition on my mac

    Hi All,
    I am very new to MAC OS and I have VMWare installed on my MAC upon VMware running window7.
    And I am using Macbook Air with 8GB RAM the problem is I am running low RAM space and due to this system gets hugs all times.
    Rather than upgrading to new lappy just wanted to enquiry is there a chance to create a swap partition ?
    if it possible please let me the know the process to make it.
    Advanced Thanx

    Your Mac already has a swapfile, what is a swap partition?
    Exactly what it sounds like. A reserved section of disk that is used for swap. Normally the fastest part of the disk (or a dedicated disk) is chosen.
    The OS already handles expanding & swapping RAM to disk. It's only an issue on spinning disks, do you have an SSD Srinivas_Gadi?
    I can't see how a swap partition can be that much faster, ultimately if RAM is still writing back to the same disk it will perform within it's capabilities. All the other disk IO will be slowing the process too.
    See some of the old posts too…

  • How to create a DSN for Oracle Provider for OLE DB in a web server

    Dear Guys,
    I am a Excel VBA developer.
    My requirement is from the Excel I have to call a Stored Procedure with REF CURSOR.
    Normally I am using Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver for connecting Oracle DB, which is in the Server .
    We have users using the Excel reports across the globe.
    Sending Excel report is enough, the clients can connect DB from Excel via the DSN created in a web server.
    But, I came to know that we can't access the REF CURSOR using Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver and it is possible to access by using ORA OLE DB Provider.
    I have installed Oracle Client in my machine and tried using ORA OLE DB Provider like below
    +con.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;User ID=user_name;" & _+
    +"Password=pwd;Data Source=Oracle;"+
    The Excel worked fine in my machine but when I run the same Excel in my user machine in a different country I couldn't connect to DB.
    Because the user machine doesn't have Oracle Client installed. We have n number of users across the world and we can't install Oracle client individually.
    So, I have the plan of creating a DSN in a web sever as I used for Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver.
    But, my doubt is how can I create a DSN for accessing ORA OLE DB provider? Is there any driver for ORA OLE DB provider? or is there any alternate solution for my issue?
    Can anybody help me on this ASAP?
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How to create a service for Oracle HTTP Server

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me.
    I would like to create a service for an Oracle HTTP Server.
    We are running APEX 3.2 on an 10.2.0.4 database (not XE).
    We have a Windows XP system.
    To run APEX on a 10g we need the HTTP Server.
    Unfortunately no service was created while the installing of the Oracle HTTP Server.
    How can I create a service later. After the installation.
    I know that you can create a service with Instrsrv.exe and Srvany.exe. But I dont know wheather I can use this in this case.
    I need an .exe file for that.
    The HTTP-Server has the opmnctl.exe.
    But I have to write opmnctl.exe startall when I start or opmnctl.exe stopall when I want to stop it . How can I realize that in a Service?
    Thanks for your answer
