Hardware configuration recommendations for database and VM work

I'm looking for advice on system configuration for a computer to use at work for database, VM, and number-crunching applications. The database work will involve complex SQL queries against MySQL databases in the 5–50 GB range. I'll be using the computer for a variety of projects, and I'd like to configure and run Linux VMs on a per-project basis. The number-crunching will involve engineering applications, most of which will likely run in Linux. The database tables might be accessed from OS X or a Linux VM; I'm not sure at this point.
Advice or recommended reading on internal RAID, SAS, Fibre Channel, and the like would be appreciated. Would it make sense to have a large SATA boot drive that stores the VM and a second high-throughput drive array for the database tables? If so, what are some good options for configuring the latter? Staying in the $5k–$7k range would be nice.
Thanks,
Andreas

FileMaker is the best option if you want a good GUI front end. It's not free like MySQL but the price is worth it.

Hardware Configuration recommendation for SOA/BPM/OSB 11.1.1.5 Cluster

Hi,
Want to find out what is the recommended hardware configuration including Memory on the box. Trying to install a 2 Node Cluster of SOA 11.1.1.5 with SOA/BPM, BAM, OSB part of the same domain. All binaries to be installed on a NAS. OS is HP-UX. How much memory is ideal on each box if running SOA Service / BPM workflows and processes,BAM,OSB, Custom ADF Task Flow Apps with a large number of transactions. SO wondering what is an ideal configuration. IS there a matrix or a some kind of spreadsheet to come up with the numbers.
Thanks

Unfortunately there is no simple way to figure this out. The recommendation varies on the basis of multiple factors (from load to avg size of the payload). Please contact your local Oracle Sales Representative and they should help you out in identifying the best possible configuration/sizing for your system.

Call for Recommendations for Database and Joystick

Can you please recommend a database product for Mac? I know about FileMaker but I was hoping for something less expensive with a good GUI front end. I use MySQL at work and am not happy with the GUI tools for MySQL.
Can you also please recommend a good joystick to use for XPlane 8?
Thanks!

What ideal Win Server and Hardware are recommended for 11g DBs

What best Win Server and Hardware are recommended for 11g DBs?
- Processor
- Memory
- Storage
- Network
- Etc...
Following is the scenario:
- The server will be for development and test DBs
- More than one databases will be installed each for each project
- Maximum 4 databases will be accessed each time
- Maximum DB size for each DB will be in couple of GBs.

Which version of 11g ? For 11gR2, see the requirements here - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16773/reqs.htm#i1011417
Any server that exceeds these requirement will suffice. Obviously the more the number of processors, the faster the processors, the more the RAM, the more the disk etc etc, the better.

Error: The number of configured copies for database 'DB-1' (1) is less than the required redundancy count (2).

Hello , I think the below event alert 4113 is very common and is due to that only one database copy is present in DAG but is there any way we can stop this alert for the
specific database.
The message tells that there is only one copy of the database - create another copy and the warning message will go away but
we do not want to create another copy. So is there any way we can stop this event getting generated.
Database redundancy health check failed.
Database copy: DB-1

That regex looks odd to me. I assume you have databases with names like "Mailbox Database <ten digit number>" (standard Exchange default name, in other words), "ABC-DB" and "HOME-DB". If this is the case, wouldn't
you want "(?:Mailbox Database \d{10}$|^ABC-DB$|^HOME-DB$)"? THis works if I run it from a prompt:
[PS] C:\Scripts>"Mailbox Database 0123456789" -match "(?:Mailbox Database \d{10}$|^ABC-DB$|^HOME-DB$)"
True
[PS] C:\Scripts>"Mailbox Database 123456789" -match "(?:Mailbox Database \d{10}$|^ABC-DB$|^HOME-DB$)"
False
[PS] C:\Scripts>"Mailbox Database 12345678910" -match "(?:Mailbox Database \d{10}$|^ABC-DB$|^HOME-DB$)"
False
[PS] C:\Scripts>"HOME-DB" -match "(?:Mailbox Database \d{10}$|^ABC-DB$|^HOME-DB$)"
True
[PS] C:\Scripts>"ABC-DB" -match "(?:Mailbox Database \d{10}$|^ABC-DB$|^HOME-DB$)"
True
[PS] C:\Scripts>"ABCD-DB" -match "(?:Mailbox Database \d{10}$|^ABC-DB$|^HOME-DB$)"
False
[PS] C:\Scripts>"HOM-DB" -match "(?:Mailbox Database \d{10}$|^ABC-DB$|^HOME-DB$)"
False
I find it's easiest to test RegEx's from the prompt this way. If the above isn't your goal, let us know, and we'll see if we can come up with something better.

How can I Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection with Server 2012?

I have a working RDS RemoteApp site and looking to test out the feature in Windows 7 Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
I came across this link: Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection and I believe this is what I need to do first, but these instructions are for
Server 2008, and I'm running 2012.
Any suggestions or tips on how I can begin testing this with Server 2012?

Hi,
You can manually enter the path to the 2012 feed and it will connect and download the RemoteApps and Desktop connections.
If you need a sample .wcx file I have posted one here a couple of times. If you want I will look for it and post a link.
-TP
I tried adding my URL's below, these are sample links that work for me right now for when I log into the web page, but neither of these work. And I'm not sure what I would need to do with or how to create a .wcx file.
When I type in my URL of: https://connect.mydomain.org/RDWeb, I get redirected to:

Hardware sizing recommendations for B2B Server

My customer Welch Foods Inc. is on 11i Oracle eBusiness Suite and is planning to uptake the latest 1Sync integration features in the PIM product. For out-of-box AS2 connectivity with 1Sync - they are planning to use Oracle B2B Integration Server 10.1.2.3.
They have an average transaction volume of 30 transactions per month. One time - initial load of 20,000 transactions.
Based on the above estimates, they are looking for hardware sizing recommendations for the B2B server.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
Asmi Maharishi
SDM for Welch Foods.

Thanks for your reply!
Here are the responses to your queries:
1. Is B2B instance going to run alone in a box
Yes, B2B instance will run alone on a box.2. what will be the size of message
Messages can be anywhere from 5-20 KB3. how many messages will be part of a transaction.
It should be 2 - Registration and publication. But sometimes it depends on how successful the first “registration” goes. Typically we get one or two errors that the users go into PLM, correct and re-send.However, Looking at your current requirement, 30 transaction per month, we can easily address in a 4 GB machine itself.
Additionally, Oracle B2B supports 10+ messages per second in 32GB, 4 processor machine.
Memory suggested above is 4GB, does that take into account memory used by the 10G App server foot print or this is only to take care of messages? Also, how many Processors (Risk IBM) will be needed?

How to set ORACLE_HOME for database and apps server in same server

Hi, I have problem here to set ORACLE_HOME in .bash_profile for database and apps server. please help me to set this Oracle Home.
Thanks
-jebatco

If you mean to have both simultaneosly set on the same OS session, of course that's not possible. But you can configure them on your profile, and choose them when needed. The following is an excerpt from my .bash_profile
export EDITOR=vi
umask 022
alias O='cd ${ORACLE_HOME}'
o10()
{       export ORACLE_SID=db102
        export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle/base
        export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/OraHome10
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
        export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
        export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_BASE/OraHome11/network/admin
        export PS1='[\u@\h_10 \W]\$ '
o11()
{       export ORACLE_SID=db11
        export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle/base
        export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/OraHome11
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
        export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
        export PS1='[\u@\h_11 \W]\$ '
xe()
{       export ORACLE_SID=XE
        export ORACLE_BASE=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle
        export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/server
        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
        export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
        export TNS_ADMIN=/home/oracle/base/OraHome11/network/admin
        export PS1='[\u@\h_XE \W]\$ '
}If I want to set Oracle 10g environment I type "o10" at OS prompt, "o11" for 11g, and so on.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How many GB are recommended for downloading and watching movies on an ipad?

how many GB are recommended for downloading and watching movies on an ipad?

I agree. With a 16 gig you'll find that you only have room for a couple of movies once the operating system and any other apps take up their space.
The other alternative would be to look into something like a wireless harddrive, where you can store your movies and stream them to your iPad via an app. However if you're purchasing content from iTunes that may/may not work. So if you consider that you may want to dig a little deeper and make sure it'll do what you want it to do.

We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth?

We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth? If I run over the 10 mgs, the service either slows way down until it is reset on the first of the next month or I have to purchase additional bandwidth and it can get expensive.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

If you only have a 10MB limit on the Internet connection you might as well not have Internet access and certainly should not attempt to stream anything.
If the limit is 10GB, then you will need to be careful with streaming as most video is 1-3GB for a one hour show.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Agents for database and application servers

hi all,
I have to go to a client site this week to install Gagents onto some database servers, some will be RAC and some application servers. it is on AIX. are there different agents for database and applications? In a RAC cluster do I need an agent per node?
rgds
alan

When installing agents in a cluster (read - RAC), during the installation, on one of the screens, you will have the option of picking up all the nodes in the cluster. Else, if you are using a push or agent deploy method, you just have to pass the correct flag (can't remember) and then list all the nodes in the cluster.
To your other questions, you do not need different agents for database, and app servers etc. The only time you would need different agents is when you are installing on different platforms.
