Help starting Unbreakable Linux and Oracle

Hello
I am getting ready to install Unbreakable Linux on a 70GB hard drive is that enough space?
I will be multibooting Windows 2003 Server 10GB, XP 30GB and Unbreakable Linux 30GB on the 70GB hard drive.
These are my questions:
1)When I had installed Fedora installed the autopartition configured my partition automatically like this using Grub. Will Unbreakable Linux's autopartition do this the same way that Fedora did, what would I have to do to set this up :
VG VolGroup00 30720m VolGroup
LV LogVol01 992m swap
LV LogVol00 29728m ext3
/dev/sda/
/dev/sda1 1 255 2000m vfat
/dev/sda2 256 9545 72872m extended
/dev/sda5 256 1785 12001m vfat "W2003 was on this partition"
/hda6 1786 5609 29996m vfat "XP was on this partition"
/had7 5610 5622 101m ext3 /boot
/hda8 5623 9545 30772m physical V "Fedora on this partition"
2) Is Unbreakable Linux good for running Oracle and a web server, replication and Log shipping?
3) What web server runs on Unbreakable Linux and how difficult is it to install?
4) What kind of security is good for Unbreakable Linux ?
5) What kind of firewall is good for Unbreakable Linux ?
6) What kind of antivirus and spyware/malware is good for Unbreakable Linux ?
7) What browser runs on Unbreakable Linux and where do I get it from?
8) Do I run startx to get the gui if not then what?
9) How do I get help if I have a problem setting up any of the above?

I am getting ready to install Unbreakable Linux on a 70GB hard drive is that enough space?Yes, definitely.
1)When I had installed Fedora installed the autopartition configured my partition automatically like this using Grub. Will Unbreakable Linux's autopartition do this the same way that Fedora did, what would I have to do to set this up :Not sure that if it will EL do automaticaly the same layout as Fedora but you have all informations so you can do manual partitioning.
2)Is Unbreakable Linux good for running Oracle and a web server, replication and Log shipping?Of course it is. Note Unbreakable Linux is a support program not a distribution.
3) What web server runs on Unbreakable Linux and how difficult is it to install?AFAIK almost any major distribution is shipped with Apcache HTTP server.
So you can install HTTP server using package located in installation media.
Or you can download sources and compile your own configuration or preffered HTTP server (I preffer this option). Everything goes easy with manual: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-install-guide/
4) What kind of security is good for Unbreakable Linux?What exactly do you mean under "security" term?
5) What kind of firewall is good for Unbreakable Linux ?Each distribution (including this one) is shipped with excellent stateful (of course stateless too :-) ) firewall called "iptables" which is included in Linux kernel. More info (documentation and HOWTOs) you can find at http://netfilter.org
6) What kind of antivirus and spyware/malware is good for Unbreakable Linux ?There is some Linux antivirus SW for example AVG, NOD but viruses are very rare in the Linux world and most of them are just "Proof of concept". So at this time is client antivirus SW just waste of money.
Spyware and malware - forget about it when we speaking about Linux (at this time).
7) What browser runs on Unbreakable Linux and where do I get it from?Graphic: Firefox, Konqueror, Nautilus Text: lynx, elinks - all these are included in Linux distribution.
8) Do I run startx to get the gui if not then what?You can start X server automaticaly during boot. This is provided by default runlevel configuration in /etc/inittab file (in this case it's run level 5). If your server has default run level 3 and you want to start X server you can log as root, and temporary change the run level to 5 by command (init 5 or telinit 5).
There is not reason for starting X server when you are using Linux machine as database server or HTTP server.
9) How do I get help if I have a problem setting up any of the above? There is Ubreakable Linux program: http://www.oracle.com/technologies/linux/ubl-faq.pdf
And for non critical issues you can also use public linux forums like this :-)

H/W & Data migration form AS 400/DB2 V5 R4 to Unix/Linux and Oracle

We are considering migration of huge data(in Terabytes) from AS 400/DB2 V5 R4 to Unix/Linux and Oracle.
We are changing operating system and data base also..Please advise if R98403 can be used to move data in terabytes.
I understand Oracle work bench does not support V5 R4.
I would like to know pointers on possible tools and approach for the migration.
Thanks
Las

Hi,
May I know the reason for this huge change? As most of the current setups of E1 are on AS00 only. Then also if you are planning to migrate your hardware and data from DB2/OS400 to Orcle and Unix/Linux you can consider below options for data migration:
1) R98403 and R98403A are best approach for this type of migration it may consule some extra time but accurate..! As no other tools like Oracle Workbench can
provide 100% accuracy.
2) Archive data size if possible with the help of BA team and work on some purging this will help you to great level.
3) If you decide to go live on new setup please consider going live module wise as a specific module data can be moved fast, and if BA team can specify some specific tables only getting hit for module trasection they can develop TC reports for specific data to be migrated and can save your time instead of copying entire data set again at go live.
Good Luck..!
Thanks,

Installing Linux and Oracle-Partition Management

Dear Friends,
I will be using Java Linux and Oracle lite on My New IBM R40
Thinkpad, that Now Has Windows XP.
Problem at Present is Finding Free Partition Manager
for DualBoot Partitioning.

I had a similar problem. I solved it by adding the following line in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
After that I started the installation again and the problem was solved. But, now I'm having a problem with opmn and HTTP Server. The error says:
"...Error
--> Process (pid=14674)
failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
Log:
/u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.4/IMHome/opmn/logs/HTTP_Server~1 ..."
I'm using Red Hat ES 4. Please let me know if you can complete the installation.
Thanks,
Pablo.

32 Bit Installation or Oracle Linux and Oracle Database 10g

I have an old E-Machine that I wanted to put Oracle Linux and Oracle Database Express 11G on. I was just wanting to do some testing and development on the system. I'm pretty sure the machine is 32bit.
I just burned a copy of 32 bit Oracle Linux onto a CD. Is there a version of Oracle Database Express that will run on it?
It seems like there is only a 64 bit version of Oracle Express Database 11g. Is Oracle Database Express 10g installable on Oracle Linux 32 bit?
Let me know! Thanks in an advance.

One (or two) caveats with the 10g version, XE can not be patched and the 10.2.0.1 XEs were created before the current daylight savings time rules went into effect.
If you have access to My Oracle Support there is a method to get updated timezone files for the oracle binaries, you need at least version 4 of the DST files. I've got the MOS docIDs somewhere let us know if needed and I'll dig 'em up.

What do I need to install when I install oralce in linux and oracle client

What do I need to install when I install oralce in linux and oracle client in windows?
I want to connect oracle from windows to Linux, what do I need to install or setup? thanks.

Are you trying to install the DB on Linux from your Windows Box? if so, you need to have an XWindows client on your client. You have to SSH or Telnet into the box, set your DISPLAY variable. In fact, it is all in your documentation for the DB install. We still don't understand what you are exactly asking.
Do you have direct access to your Linux machine? If so, and it has a graphical GUI, then you can find install guides for most flavors of Linux at dizwell.com. His are most excellent and show examples, but do not go over the XWindows problem. You would have to resolve that first.
A free XWindows environment for Windows is Cygwin.
Once the DB is running on Linux then all you do is create a TNS entry on it on your client and it connects. It is the same as setting up a connection to connect to Oracle on a Windows box.

Install SAP ERP 6.0 with Linux and Oracle RAC

Hi Guru,
I want to install SAP ERP 6.0 with Linux and Oracle RAC. Is this possible?
Where do I find information?
Thanks,
Hugo.

Hello Hugo,
You can use either RAC or dataguard. On note [105047|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/105047]:
14. Data Guard
    o You can use "Physical Standby".
    o You cannot use "Logical Standby".
    o You can use Data Guard Broker.
    o You can use Maximum Performance Mode, Maximum Availability Mode and Maximum Protection Mode.
    o In the case of Maximum Availability and Maximum Protection, you must pay particular attention to a fast network connection in order to avoid performance problems.
    o Maximum Protection causes the primary database to terminate if problems occur in the standby database.
60. Real Application Cluster (RAC)
    o You can use this feature in accordance with Note 527843.
Regards,
Eduardo Rezende

Oracle enterprise linux and oracle 10g?

Hey;
I'm pretty new to trying to download oracle and get it installed on a linux box. I made a couple of attempts on linux fedora core 10 and windows vista home edition both of which didn't get very far. Since I just past my ocp exams via a boot camp (yay for me!), I'm hoping to get a couple of linux boxes up and running to ensure I get the concepts down through practice.
From what I'm reading, it looks like I can download enterprise linux, put that on a system, and then download oracle 10g and install that w/little or no trouble (at least not expected...)
Am I reading that right or did I miss something? Any info greatly apprecaited.
Doug O'Leary

Hello,
You can download enterprise linux and 10g and get going. Enterprise linux is pre-packaged for the required components required to install oracle software, here is a link for your future reference to see platform compatibility.

thanks a lot.

Madrid, and everybody.
does anyone knows ...
- What is the number ID (note) in metalink where are the default account passwords when installed Oracle default database ??? (some days ago i saw but i don't remember the note)
- Are there any link when describe any consideration about OS LINUX users like "root" and "oracle" ?

Sendmail on linux and oracle colloboration suite on windows 2000

Hello
I am new to Oracle collaboration suite .We just want to know ,how we can implement sendmail on linux server on a seperate machine and Oracle collaboration suite on windows 2000 on a different machine.Whether it is possible or not if yes then what are the steps to be taken for this,I mean how we can go for it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Maddie,
=> Phsyical DataGuard supports different platforms, but not different versions. So no option.
=> Logical Standby => while supporting different versions of database, it hat platform restrictions. So especially with 10g is not an option as well
=> GoldenGate is probably the way to go, but unfortunately not a cost free option. But would ideally support what you expect.
=> Streams might be possible as well...

Sebastian

PLZ help starting RAC Linux 10gR2 2 nodes cluster on ASM

The system was not reboot graciously; it was shutdown as a single instance; Then the servers were shutdown.
We can't restart it this morning.
I tried to enable the crs; then in CRS_HOME/bin/ ./crsctl start crs
It did not start the cluster

Gangy,
The log does not give me enough information. The importance is to be able to start the cluster and the whole system. At the bottom, you can see a copy of the log.
Thank you so much.. Terry

I downloaded this zip file from the metalink:

Thanks for your help.

1. Redhat Linux 8 is pretty old version. If I may suggest you upgrade then upgrade the operating system.
2. In case you want stay on RH 8 then you have two options how to ommit this error.
Modify /etc/redhat-release and change the line to "Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 (Taroon)"
or
execute runInstaller with "-ignoreSysPrereqs" parameter.

Diff between oracle linux and oracle enterprise linux?

hi all,
i am new to this flavor of Linux. I know oracle linux has red hat source, but i am confused about the difference betweek oracle linux which comes in versions 4 (upto update 8) and 5 (latest update being 5).
i need to install oracle enterprise linux at a client place, so i gota know the difference.
Should i be installing oracle Linux first and then run the rpm of "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel"? or is the "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" only for customers who require this kernal on oracle linux update 5 x86_64?
thanks

From what I understand Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) is a rebranded version of Red hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Oracle Linux (OL) is OEL plus Oracle optimization and custom, newer kernel. OL with Oracle "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" is available as x86_64 only and was introduced based on OEL or RHEL 5.5.
You can install OEL 5.4 and easily upgrade to OEL 5.5, PMFJI, but can you point me to docs on how to make that upgrade? The timing of this msg on the forum was exquisite, as I started looking at that just today. I have an OEL 5.4 installation and would much rather upgrade to 5.5 than to have to rebuild from scratch.
I did a yum install kernel with the 5.5 version of the public-yum-el5.repo. That went without a hitch and now reports "2.6.32-100.0.19.el5 #1" where I was 2.6.18-164.el5, but I also see
[root@myserver ~]# uname -a
Linux myserver 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5 #1 SMP Fri Sep 17 17:51:41 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@myserver ~]# cat /etc/enterprise-release
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage)
[root@myserver ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)Bottom line is that I am charged with updating the kernel to a 2.6 version newer than 19 Sep, or applying a patch for the compat_alloc_user_space() function, and am not sure exactly how to proceed from here.
if you like or start to install from version 5.5, and then install OL 5.5 by downloading the Oracle public yum repository and follow the instructions at http://public-yum.oracle.com

I am getting a similar message, so you are not alone. I was not
able to get the listener.ora configured to connect to the
database so I thought I would try netasst, but I guess I will
have to keep playing with listener.ora.
The only thing different with my NullPointerException was that
there were two additional references to
oracle.net.nl.NLParamParser.
We downloaded the software last week without applying any patches
except for the Redhat rpm to make gnome work with OUI.

Data Transfer between AS400(Linux) and Oracle(Windows Server)

Hi,
We have AS400 system which resides on Linux architecture.
We want to transfer millions of records from AS400 to Oracle which resides on Windows server.
We think to build Odbc connection on windows machine and accessing to AS400 data from this connection.
But I am not sure the performance of this approach.
I would be glad if you share your experiences.
Regards & Thanks

Hi,
ODBC is generally pretty slow in my experience - your alternatives are probably one of the following
1) use odbc maybe with heterogeneous services on top (this allows you to have a database link directly from oracle to db2)
2) use a transparent gateway - similar to 1) but has more functionality and will have a licence cost
3) write some c/java program to do it
4) dump the data to a flat file, transfer to windows, sqlldr that file in
It all comes down to how good the performance needs to be (ODBC may be good enough) and how much effort needs to be put i to other approaches.
I suggest you just give odbc a try, if it looks like its not up to the job then consider alternatives. In the past we've used option 4 for this kind of thing but it is very dependent on the environment you are running in (amount/type of data, speed of network etc).

Harry
