Guide for Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Linux AS for Oracle9i Database

I put together a step-by-step guide for tuning and optimizing Red Hat Linux Advanced Server for Oracle9i. It's my first draft version and I would appreciate any comments and feedback.
The article
"Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Linux Advanced Server for Oracle9i Database"
can be found at:
http://www.puschitz.com/TuningLinuxForOracle.shtml
The article
"Oracle 9i Installation on Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, and on Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1"
can now be found at http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml
And both links for
"Oracle on Red Hat Linux"
can be found at
http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
Werner

Is this good for Redhat Linux 9.0 and not just the advanced server.
If it is not could you please provide me the links to articles like,
"Guide for Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Linux for Oracle9i Database"
"Guide for Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Linux for Oracle9i App Server"
"Guide for Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Linux for Oracle9i Infrastucture"
Thanks.

  • Red hat Linux support for Oracle

    Hi! Can some body tell me which version of Red Hat Linux is supported. I was told that Oracle supports only upto Red hat 7.1 for Oracle 8.1.7.3.
    thanks

    I installed 9iAS on RedHat 7.3, see my post at:
    Re: SQL query report columns
    I don't know about versions < 7.3, but 7.3 by default includes kde 3 :)

  • Where can I get Red Hat Linux AS for Installing 10G

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle 10G on RedHat Linux 8.0 and the installer is existing with error message(Requires Redhat 2.1 or 3). Is RedHat 2.1 is free downloadable and could some one point the URL where I can download.

    I guess business economics and supportability has made Oracle to release products only on (a few) "enterprise class" distributions of linux. RHEL 2.1 & 3 has a subscription fee for support (one of Oracles requirements?), so it's not free downloadable (RHEL 3 is downloadable within RHN but not free).
    Maybe they should look to their Unbreakable Linux campaign and release developer versions of the operating systems. With both products and os released under developer licenses, maybe they'll get support from individuals and smaller companies...

  • Installing Oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux

    Hi,
    I am new with Linux Os and have to install oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux Os for a customer. So before proceeding, I need some guidelines.
    1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?
    2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?
    3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?
    4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setup
    Regards
    Edited by: user640001 on Feb 25, 2011 5:44 AM

    1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?Ordinarily, I'd recommend getting Oracle Linux (http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux) because the default install includes all the prerequisite RPM packages you will need. And failing that, also offers another RPM package "oracle-validated" which will cause the installation of the necessary prerequisites.
    But... you mentioned customer: if this is a revenue-producing situation and customer money is at stake, I strongly recommend they obtain commercial O/S support with either Oracle, Red Hat, or maybe SuSE/Novell. Compared to the cost of a downed business, an O/S support arrangement is cheap, cheap, cheap.
    2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?Sure. You can run Oracle VirtualBox on most Linux, Windows, or Solaris boxes. http://VirtualBox.org for info.
    3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?No real differences in either environment.
    4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setupWhat, you didn't try http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux yet?

  • Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
    Thanks again,
    Virendra

    I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
    You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
    The Must PDF's to refer before installation
    1)r1152ins.pdf
    2)11iconcepts.pdf
    According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
    The installation process can be divided into
    Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
    I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
    Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
    In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
    In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
    1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
    2)1-11 CD's
    1-3 Application Top information
    4th Oracle DB
    5-6 IAS and other tools
    7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
    You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
    While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
    Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
    Installation Types
    Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
    Test ==>For test Env Purposes
    Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.

    Space Requirement for types installtion:
    Memory Requirement
    1 GB of RAM(512 Fine for initial Installtion)
    but planned for more user connections another 1 GB of Ram and according to the number of user's and Application needs you have to Increase the Memory.

    Prod DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
    Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
    Plus space for ur staging area.
    This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
    Softwares on System
    Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
    Install VC++:
    Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
    It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
    NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
    Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
    or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
    Evaluation copy from
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
    Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
    Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
    You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
    Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
    It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
    The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
    1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
    This can be done by performing the following steps:
    NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
    1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
    The directory contains the following files:
    README
    djtarnt.exe
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe
    Only two of the files are required:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
    2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
    Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
    3) Point your browser to the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
    The files needed from this directory are:
    make-3.77.tar.gz
    make-3.78.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.tar.gz
    Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
    DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
    4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
    Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
    5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
    command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
    6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
    called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
    Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
    Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
    WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
    See [NOTE:115937.1]
    for work around. RELATED DOCUMENTS ----------------- For Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit and
    GNUMAKE support, you should contact their respective vendors Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit
    and GNUMAKE are registered trademarks.

    Create a Applmgr user account in win2000 .
    Installation:
    =============
    What here you require is the Patience .
    Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
    For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
    In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
    It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
    The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
    For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
    The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
    installed products it requires without any failure.
    The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
    This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

  • Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5 64bit and Enterprise Manager 10.2.0.3 Install ?

    Appreciate specific steps to ensure that Oracle Enterprise Manager 10.2.0.3 is installed as baseline for upgrade.
    Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5.2 64bit.
    The major problems are with the Configuration Assistant Web Cache during the Install. It fails with OUI-25031.
    The configToolFailedCommands script contents is:
    oracle.sysman.emcp.agent.AgentPlugIn

    The root cause of Oracle Grid 10.2.0.3 did not install successfully was because of a Network Configuration Issue. i.e., some strange IP was being referenced over the internet and mapping it to my hostname of my server. I performed a "dig hostname" to see what ip was being associated with my so-called unique hostname. After fixing that problem and removing all of Oracle, I only had one warning with OPMN not starting. I discovered additional rpms that needed to be installed and all is good now until the next opportunity.
    Learned Lesson: Pay Very Careful Attention to all configuration components and document as you go to ensure that you have your process documented.

  • Oracle 8i/9i and Red Hat Linux version

    Hi,
    Does anyone know, which is the earliest version of Red Hat Linux
    supported by Oracle 8i or 9i?
    Regards

    Hi,
    I downloaded the 9i, the installation started ok and I was
    able to complete the install procedure, but a few things did not
    go as I planned:
    1.- The installation MUST be run on the console X, and cannot
    be run from a remote terminal (odd!).
    2.- On a 2-CPU machine the installation didn't install all the
    files for the sistem to start.
    3.- During a second attempt the installer issued an error
    regarding a compilation problem.
    Can anyone help me, I can't get the installer running without
    problems.

  • Configuring startWebLogic.sh for Red Hat Linux 7.2

    I was successful in configuring and executing startWeblogic.cmd, but have not been
    so lucky getting the equivalent to run on Red Hat 7.2 using startWebLogic.sh.
    For starters, even before I began editing startWeblogic.sh and just tried running
    I received the following error:
    : command not found
    : command not found
    : command not found
    : command not found
    startWebLogic.sh: line 59: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
    'tartWebLogic.sh: line 59: `elif [ ! -f $WL_HOME/lib/weblogic.jar ]; then
    I've included both my startWebLogic.cmd and startWebLogic.sh files so that you
    can see what I'm trying to port to the sh file. I'm hoping I'm close to getting
    this to execute and run within Linux so please accept my thanks in advance to
    anyone who might have some suggestions. Interestingly enough I was able to get
    wls to start using ant, but that is obviously only good for my development env.
    The point being I'm hoping I'm close to reaching a solution.
    Below is what my startWebLogic.cmd file looks like:

    @rem This script can be used to start WebLogic Server. This script ensures that
    @rem the server is started using the config.xml file found in this directory and
    @rem that the CLASSPATH is set correctly. This script contains the following variables:
    @rem
    @rem JAVA_HOME - Determines the version of Java used to start
    @rem WebLogic Server. This variable must point to the
    @rem root directory of a JDK installation and will be set
    @rem for you by the WebLogic Server installer. Note that
    @rem this script uses the hotspot VM to run WebLogic Server.
    @rem If you choose to use a JDK other than the one
    @rem included in the disribution, make sure that the JDK
    @rem includes the hotspot VM. See the WebLogic platform support
    @rem page (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/platforms/index.html)
    @rem for an up-to-date list of supported JVMs on Windows NT.
    @rem
    @rem When setting these variables below, please use short file names (8.3).
    @rem To display short (MS-DOS) filenames, use "dir /x". File names with
    @rem spaces will break this script.
    @rem

  • ORA-01017: OS Authentication on Red Hat Linux 6.2 and Oracle 11gR2

    Hello
    I am trying to eanble OS Authentication on Oracle 11.2.0.3 installed on a Red Hat Linux Server 6.2 and it just does not work. When I try to login I always get the error ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    I have set the following Oracle parameters:
    remote_os_authent = TRUE
    os_authent_prefix = OPS$
    and i have created a linux user "oracle" and the Oracle user "OPS$oracle".
    I know that the parameter remote_os_authent in 11g is depricated but i thought that it still should work, just an error messages occures then i start the database but it runs as usual, just the OS Authentication does not seem to work.
    Does anyone knwo where the problem could be?
    Oracle said that remote_os_authent is depricated because as it is risky, i know that, but my database is in a secure environment without any connection to the internet. What other way would there be without using remote_os_authent?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Regards Bernhard

    Thanks for the link, i found that i used a case sensitive user name as i created the user with "OPS$USERNAME" and this was why i cound not connect with that user.

    How different is Enterprise Linux compared to Fedora?To add Sergio's post, Fedora and Enterprise Linux are based on RedHat distribution. Fedora is non commercial distribution and is very popular. Enterprise Linux is quite new (name of distribution) in the Linux world (announced at the end of october) and it is clone (as Sergio said) of RH EL 4 U4.
    All I need is an opportunity to learn Unix/Linux.Any of Linux distributions will give to you this opportunity. And for learning of Linux Fedora is good enough.
    Is Enterprise Linux more popular?
    Popular than what? Fedora? It is too soon... (IMHO). Enterprise Linux is ideal candidate for productions systems which needs official support and (of course) systems which where Oracle products will be running on. In this scope (commmercial sphere) Enterprise Linux will become popular than Fedora (which has support only from volunteers) but I don't think that Enterprise Linux will be more popular as Fedora at all...

  • Jinitiator for Red Hat Linux Enterprise Edition 3

    Hello Technocrats,
    I need your reply for our very critical situation asap.
    We have Red Hat Linux EE 3 hosted in all developers PC. Oracle Application 11.5.5 is hosted in a Sun Ultra1 server. Now we have licence for Oracle Developer Suite 10g for RH Linux 3.
    My question is , will Oracle Jinitiator for the OS compatible be installed at time of iDS installation??
    do we need to grab any specific Oracle Jinitiator for E-Business Suite in this regard??
    Is Oracle Jinitiator avbl for Linux platforms. If not wat will be the solution for executing a E-Business module form in a Mozilla web browser in Linux Pc's
    Kindly give all your valuable suggestions asap....... awaitng your reply

    See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/clientsod_forms10g.html for information on officially supported configs.
    The only certification I can see for Redhat is using Sun JPI 1.4.2. The Sun JPI certification was added with the latest patchset (9.0.4.2.0). I know Oracle was planning on certifying Forms 10.1.2 for Sun JPI 1.4.2 and 1.5, but I'm not sure if they managed in the end. Forms 10.1.2 is already available.
    We decided to go for Sun JPI and not JInitiator because we have hundreds of external users. Their sysadmins are much more comfortable installing Sun JPI then they are installing the (unknown) Oracle JInitiator.
    I've written a number of blog articles about our Sun JPI confguration at http://www.oratransplant.nl/category/oracle/forms/
