Good computer system for Oracle 12c

Hi,
Presently I have one old PC at my home for learning and testing purpose. Now, it seems me very old and slow, so I am planning to buy a new desktop (Not laptop) for learning and testing purpose.  I wish to run Oracle 12c, RAC, Data Gurad, ASM, Cloud control, Oracle linux in Oracle VM Virtualbox.  Apart from these, I wish to run SQL Server 2012, Windows Server 2012, dot net 2012 Prof Edition and some other softwares.  So, please tell me what should be good enough configurations for the PC i.e. HDD, RAM, Processor, Mother board, so that at least it should be good enough for next 5 years.
Thanks.

Yes, and this is what I am asking that what should I ask them to have in it.
You are being too picky and to be honest, if you are planning to buy a system for practice. this is way too much  of being fussy. Ask vendors around your area suggest you for an Intel Core-i7 or Xenon , a motherboard that can support at least 32gb of RAM and hard drive options. Now do NOT ask us to give you links . This is simply being lazy. Search and read reviews from different sites. Make up your mind and go for it. To be honest, I am not sure that why you are stuck up in Intel, AMD when somewhere above, you yourself has mentioned this,
"I guess, Intel's processor and motherboards are the best; of course they are high priced; 45% higher than AMD, but 65% more performance"
So seems like you do have a favorite here. Then what's the fuss, go for it. You are not making a machine to support a 24/7 system on which lives would depend, are you?

  • Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
    Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
    But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
    Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
    You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
    Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

  • Lookout limitation​s and selection of the computer system for lookout

    This is regarding the limitation of the lookout i.e. upto how much IO lookout is reccomended to use.
    or it is on the basis of the l4p or lks file size basis.
    Do you have some criteria for the selection of the computer system for lookout on the basis of the IO's.
    is there any criteria by which we can check the execution cycle time for the lookout process.
    Is there any NI controller also avaiable for lookout applications?

    From what I have observed, there is no standard.  The best thing to do is to create test setups.
    Its entirely possible that a system with 100 IO may require more processing/memory than a 5000 IO system.  Database, archiving, reporting, analytics, etc.
    It is variable.
    Just for reference on our systems, we dont use the IO count for performance curves, we go based on the site configurations for the system.
    A site could be 1 pump, 6 pumps and a tank, 1 pump and a tank, 4 tanks, etc.  Consider than a tank may only take 5 IO and a well upwards of 50 IO each, we could hit 150-200 IO per site.
    Smaller systems (<10 sites) we have run very successfully on Atom based servers (not netbooks...).
    10-40 sites run well on basic dual-core workstations with 2GB or more of RAM
    40-100 we recommend quad-core servers with 4GB or more of RAM.
    (100+ gets a little more intricate)
    We try to make sure that the system is not more than 15% loaded (memory and/or CPU) by services at normal work.  Lots of room left over for future growth or unexpected workloads and backup routines.

  • Most widely used operating system for oracle database

    hi,
    can anyone figure out which operating system is widely used for oracle database around the world.
    thanks and regards,
    Ashok

    I don't think you can safely pick one single operating system for Oracle.
    Over the years I have seen various Unix flavors, VAX/VMS, Windows and others being used to a great extent for running Oracle database.
    Picking one flavor will be tougher then having to program the database under any operating system it is made available.

  • Certified operating system for Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.0.1)

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding the certified operating system for Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.0.1)
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/idm_certification_101401.html
    - for an Intel EM64T 64 bit machine
    for the application server database it is stated that we need
    Windows 2003 R1 (64 bit OS)
    and the application server platform is certified with
    Windows 2003 R1 with SP1 or higher (64 bit OS)
    an installation of application server platform + database on a single Intel EM64T with Windows 2003 R1 with SP1 is not certified ? or with other words, if I add Sp1 to 2003 than the application server database is not on a certified platform ?
    thanks

    Hi Florin
    My guess is that you are looking at the Oracle Identity Federation certification section in the link for the IDM certification.
    The IDM certification for windows is in par. 2.3
    For a 64 bits machine it specifies that you need Windows 2003 R2 to run it. And it is only certified for an Oracle database version 9.0.3.1. The footnote says:
    Oracle Database includes Oracle 9i 9.2.0.8, Oracle 10g 10.1.0.5, Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1, and Oracle 10g 10.2.0.2
    so I would go for the latest Oracle database version 10g 10.2.0.2. However the link with the Oracle database versions only notes an Oracle database version 10.2.0.1 available for Windows 64 bit. A quick lookup under the certifify tab in metalink shows that Oracle 10g R2 is certified for Windows 2003 10g R2 and that there is a 10.2.0.2 patch set that can be applied upon the Oracle database 10.2.0.1 base release. Don't forget to apply the latest CPU after this is done.
    I have this from the documentation links you added in your question. I have not installed IDM 10.1.4 on Windows 64 bit myself.
    Cheers

  • What are the Oracle Home and GRID home directory locations for Oracle 12c (12.1.0.5) release

    Hello All,
    I plan to install and configure Oracle 12c Cloud Control console on a single standalone server and the version is Oracle 12.1.0.5. All the databases which are installed across in the entire farm/landscape are these versions:
    Oracle 10.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 10.2.0.4 Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 10.2.0.4 Active DataGuard Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 10.2.0.5 Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 11.2.0.1 Active DataGuard Enterprise Edition
    Oracle 11.2.0.3 RAC Enterprise Edition
    All Oracle databases across these versions will use the same version of Oracle Grid since ASM is used for all the Oracle database across Production/Test/Development databases. The OS is RHEL 5.8, RHEL 6.3, OEL 6.3 versions.
    When installing the Oracle 12c Cloud Control what is the Oracle and Grid Home directory location need to set to. Please let me know if there are any other additional configurations needed?
    Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
    Regards,
    Abhijit

    First off, the only EM CC release out right now is 12.1.0.2, not sure where you got 12.1.0.5 (DB Plugin maybe?).   
    Second, you're confusing EM CC homes with DB/Grid homes. 
    EM CC will need it's own Oracle Home (i.e. /opt/oracle/product/em_12.1.0.2).   You will need to provide repository database connection information, but EM does not care what home the db or grid is installed in.
    I would recommend reviewing the documentation as well as the references on OTN -

  • Maximum number of services for Oracle 12c

    can someone please give me a hint where I can find the limitations for number of services on Oracle 12c?
    In the reference guide I found: maximum number of services per instance = 115
    But that cannot be true because you can have up to 252 pluggable databases per database and each one is associated with a dedicated service.
    If done some trials and currently I'm at 556 services. But I cannot find a document with the exact maximum.

    Hi Friend,
    Two Types containers are available in Oracle Database 12c
    1. The ROOT container - - > This is first container and mandatory container.
    2. Pluggable Database Container - - - > This is the container for application
    So, Limit is - - > 253 PDBs in a One Container Database (CDB) it includes the SEED also and Services are 512 in a Container Database (CDB).
    Check the following query to know the number of services
    Select name, pdb from cdb_services;
    Hope it helps...
    Thanks

    I assume you are downloading from this page - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/database12c-win64-download-1968077.html
    Have you verified the checksums of the two zip files after you downloaded them ?

  • Guaranteed restore point Vs catdwgrd.sql downgrade for oracle 12c

    I understand that we have two ways to downgrade (assuming compatible parameter is not modified) when we upgrade a 11.2.0.3 database to oracle 12c.
    I am curious to know advantages of catdwgrd.sql when compared to guaranteed restore point downgrade. I think guaranteed restore point looks very simple
    compared to catdwgrd.sql. Also I think oracle doesn't exactly bring the database back to the same state when we use catdwgrd.sql whereas
    guranteed restore point brings us back to the same state.
    Thank You
    Sarayu

    Which method you choose will depend on your circumstances. This blog post may help
    https://blogs.oracle.com/UPGRADE/entry/is_there_a_fallback_strategy
    A third possible option is to simply restore the database from backups

  • Good Computer Desk for 24" iMac?

    After being a Windows user since version 3.0 (Bill Gates will burn in **** for that one) I just got a 24" iMac. Since my hobby is photography and imaging programs are resource intensive, I initially priced out a Dell Precision with Dell's 24" monitor to use with Vista. As much out of idleness as anything else, I wandered into an Apple store a played around with the 24" iMac. I was more than a little surprised to find out I could have the sleekly designed iMac with a stable UNIX based OS for about $100 less than the Dell. So far I am very satisfied with the iMac. The lack of overhead created by virus and spyware programs makes even web browsing much faster than on a Windows machine.
    My huge L shaped computer desk is much bigger than I need for the iMac, plus it has gotten a bit beat up looking over the years. I wonder if anyone has found a computer desk that really works well with the 24" iMac? I don't need Ethan Allen quality furniture; a good laminate finish will be fine. I need ready access to a letter size Epson printer and an Epson PictureMate. I also have a phone, DSL modem and wireless router. A couple of drawers built into the desk would be a nice feature.
    It's brutally cold here in Central Illinois, so before I head out shopping I thought I'd ask for some recommendations here. I have access to most national retailers, with the exception of Ikea and Costco, though both of them have stores only a couple of hours away in the Chicago 'burbs.
    Thanks for any advice.

    24" iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi, I have used glass topped desks, I don't think apart from possibly getting broke by accident they are good at absorbing vibrations from keyboard or maybe even the Mac itself..I invested in a nice oak table, centre iMac -> Right, Printer -> Left, 2 x External HD's..plus lots of space for card readers/documents/office & cell phones etc etc etc... I have a small filing cabinet under the desk..works for me.
    Don't forget a ""comfortable chair"" ------- happy key tapping...L
