Hardware Configuration for Oracle DB on DELL Server

We are currently running Oracle 8.0.5 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. This is a DELL PowerEdge 6600 server with 8 73GB Ultra SCSI Hard Drives. We will be upgrading to Oracle 9i in the future. Question: What would be the recommended Hardware RAID Configuration? We've heard that RAID 10 would be a good configuration to implement. What would be the best way for us to configure our server? We would like a high fault tolerance, good performance system. Our database isn't very large in size (10GB) but, we do require 24 x 7 availability. By the way, switching to a different operating system is not an option for us.

You've probably read this already; but, the documentation has some minimums: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26996_01/e18548/CHDJCIFD.html
The management server doesn't require anything special.

Ian

    HI,
    For your home testing you might need a latest technology to get a smooth and fast installation. i7 processor might be the ideal with memory at least 8GB. if you're planning to have more than 3 VMs running at the same time than you need 12-16GB memory at least.
    From my experience installing on vm and allocated memory 2.5GB each VM the installation could take 15-30minutes
    Cheers

  • Hardware Configurations for Oracle 10g AS

    Hi,
    I'm looking for Hardware Configurations on various platforms which Oracle AS 10g supports. Basically i'm looking for details for these on each supported platforms.
    No. Of CPUs
    CPU Speed
    RAM
    Disk Space
    I would appreciate if someone point me some document on this.
    Thanks,
    RK

    Those parameters are more of a function of intended use (ie the application and which components of AS involved). There are absolute minimum values to enable installation (not use) of the software in each platforms Install Guide.
    For certified platforms, check with you sales contact or Oracle Support.

  • Need hardware configuration for server

    Hi All,
    Need server hardware configuration for deploying and maintaining SSAS cube. Consider OLTP size as 100 GB
    Thanks,
    ATRSAMS

    Hi Atrsams,
    According to your description, you need some hardware recommendations for deploying and maintaining a SQL Server Analysis Services cube, right?
    Though this isn't a sizing recommendation, I'd encourage you to buy as much memory as you can afford. This is generally the choke point I've seen on servers, especially when using SSAS. For the detail information about it, please refer to the links below.

    You don't have a Linux question. You have a question specific to the usage of your application that just happens to be running on Linux.

    Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.3) System Requirements
    Oracle WebLogic Server supports a number of platforms including:
    – Linux
    – Sun Solaris
    – HP-UX
    – Windows 2000, 2003 Server, XP
    • Processor:
    – At least one 1 GHz CPU is recommended.
    – Intel and UNIX processors are supported.
    • Hard disk drive:
    – A full installation requires approximately 2 GB of disk space.
    – The Linux value for file descriptors must be 4096 or greater.
    – Samples are optional (download from OTN).
    • Memory:
    – A minimum of 2 GB RAM is recommended for WebLogic
    Server.
    – Consider the number of simultaneous users and sessions.
    – Consider in-memory programs, such as Coherence.
    System Requirements
    The following are some of the basic system requirements for Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3:
    • The Oracle WebLogic Server installer requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run.
    Oracle WebLogic Server is certified with JDK6.0. As part of the installation, it gives the option
    to install the JRockit JDK 6.0 version. As part of postinstallation, prefix the bin directory of
    the JDK to the PATH environment variable.
    • The Oracle WebLogic Server installer requires a temporary location in which to unpack the
    files. Typically, the installer requires approximately 2.5 times the amount of temporary space
    that is required by the installed files.
    Note: In this release of WebLogic Server, users can choose which components of WebLogic Server
    they use. Specifically, this release allows users to choose whether the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB),
    Java Message Service (JMS), and J2CA services are started when WebLogic Server is started. The
    benefit of excluding some services is reduced memory footprint and reduced startup time.

  • Best Raid Configuration for a 8-1tb hhd server

    Hi All,
    I have been trying to figure out what would be the best raid configuration for my Windows 2012 essentials server. So I was wondering if I could get some advise on this. Here is what I would like to get out of this configuration.
    I would like to split the 8-1tb drives into 2 VHD one with about 300gb for the OS to be installed on, and the rest to be use  for storage. I want like to have good redundancy, fairly good read & write capabilities.
    I will be using this server for a Small Web Page and Game Hosting, Email Exchange, Critical Application hosting.
    I would like the ability to enlarge the overall raid storage by swapping out my 1Tb drives with 2Tb or larger as the need for more storage arises.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks

    You may be better of using Storage spaces and not using raid at all.

  • Hardware recommendations for Oracle server

    I'm looking for hardware recommendations for a new Oracle database server. I'd like to have Active/Passive redundancy, so I imagine an external storage device is necessary. Does Oracle publish any hardware recommendations based on budget? I'm not sure what our budget would be but I can assume two database servers and a single external storage device in the $20k range.

    Oracle does not publish any recommendations at all.
    If they did, the recommendations would be based on load and expected performance characteristics, not based on budget.
    Your best bet is to chose a vendor (Sun, IBM, HP, Dell) and ask them. Each of those vendors has a group that specializes in answering this kind of question.

  • Recommended configuration for Oracle VM Server and VM Manager

    Hi,
    Currently we have two dedicated DELL servers (VM server and VM Manager) for which are building an Oracle stack environment.
    We are facing a problem which we didn't find answer from Oracle docs or via Google. The problem is that the virtual machines we create in VM Manager can't be connected to the outside world, and we think it's because our host (Hetzner) does not allow ports eth1-eth3 to be connected to the servers, unless we have these servers in the same rack and connected via switch.
    Our question is, is it recommended configuration to have VM Server and VM Manager servers in the same rack and connected via switch?
    If yes, the next question is, if we need in the future to add one more dedicated DELL server to our configuration to host virtual machines, is it possible if the new third dedicated DELL server is not connected via switch to the two dedicated DELL servers we have already have?
    If no, the next question is, what could be the recommended configuration and solution to our problem in our case that ports eth1-eth3 cannot be connected to the servers?
    Please do not hesitate to ask if you need more information. I do appreciate your time and expertise. Thanks.

    The architectural environment is now done like on this graphic. For security reasons Hetzner hosting service does not allow ports eth1-eth3 to be connected, but in internal network under switch they do.

  • Error starting Portal or Commerce Server when Configured for Oracle

    I've been attempting to configure Portal 4.0 to work with Oracle. I'm running Oracle
    8i. I carefully followed the instructions found in "Configuring WebLogic Portal for
    Oracle Databases". Specifically, I setup the tablespaces, connection pools and successfully
    run the scripts to populate the tables. I am confident the Oracle OCI driver is configured
    properly (have done this many times). However, after I make all of the necessary
    changes and launch the server, I receive the following error:

  • A reasonable hardware configuration for Linux OAS

    Has anyone out there tried to run
    Oracle 8 for Linux and OAS 3.02
    all on the same toasted PC/pentium server?
    Could you tell me the nature of your
    hardware configuration (processor speed, ram, etc)
    if you feel the performance is acceptable for
    development (not for actual business operation).
    The technical FAQ lists 48 megs and any
    Pentium to run Oracle 8 for Linux which
    verges on ridiculously low.
    I just want to know a reasonable
    configuration to run both Oracle 8 and OAS .
    Thanks,

    I have been runnig OAS/O8 on a Pii/300Mhz system with 128mb of
    ram, and so far I have no real complaints on speed. I even tuned
    the SGA to give a little better performance and still have around
    40 or so MB free. BTW, I haven't really tried to mess around
    with the Linux version of OAS, but have used the Solaris version
    previously, have you noticed any problems with the wrb starting
    up? I have seen some error messages saying "No processes..." or
    something, looks like an error.. have you experienced this?
