How could I study Oracle linux cluster ?

Hello buddy:
I want to study Oracle linux cluster. so, where can I get started ? I read online documents, but they not tell you how to build a test enviroument using VMware.
Could you give a hint ?

Purpose is studying.Studying what exactly? Clusters are more than just shared disks.
I want to restablish a single instance and database using OS cluster. The shared disk just can be seen by on node server, then I can manually test this OS cluster and make switching between two nodes at least.This is not really a cluster. A cluster supports scalability - for example, if a process load is too large for a single node, some of it can spill over and be executed by another node or multiple other cluster nodes.
If you talk about standard Linux clustering, that would be running some kind of number crunching s/w (weather modeling, crunching astronomy data, etc) and running this across multiple cluster nodes.
A shared cluster storage system is one possible component of a cluster.
Taking your example - a shared cluster file system is not needed. As the other nodes cannot use that file system (if it does, it can corrupt database files) - only a single non RAC database instance can use the database. Thus the file system can only be used by a single instance on a single server. No clustering needed.
When that server fails, that file system (from the storage server) needs to be mounted on another server and the database instance started on that server.
This is not really a true cluster - simply a high availability and redundant configuration using multiple servers.
If you want to study actual real clustering - do some research using Google. Create a simple project like calculating pi for example and create a virtual 2 or 3 node cluster that run this processing in parallel - using a shared cluster file system for data storage.

How could I install Oracle Linux 6.3.

When I am going to install oracle Linux 6.3 in my machine after selecting the installation option(i.e "Install or Upgrading the existing system" or "Install system with basic video driver") nothing is appearing except a blank screen. Please help.
My machine config is as bellow.
Mother Board : Asus P5Q Pro
Processor : Core2Duo 2.8GHz
RAM : 6GB
Video Card : Nvdia GForce 9 series

Nvdia GForce 9 series is not a server type video card. Oracle Linux and other RHEL derivatives are designed for server hardware. You might want to keep this in mind because there may be additional problems. Your mileage will vary.
Regarding your problem, it sounds like you are experiencing a typical compatibility or support problem with your video card DRM. A common way around this problem is to disable support for Kernel Mode Setting (KMS). You can test this by setting the nomodeset Linux kernel parameter by pressing any key at the very system startup to enter the grub bootloader menu.

How about "free openfiler"?

Openfiler is iSCSI storage software from open source, it provides you shared disk for you HA infra, rest HA components such server, network also can be made over virtual infra for testing purpose only.OpenFiler does not provide high availability. It provides shared storage across an infrastructure layer. That layer needs be redundant - and so too the storage server itself - for high availability.
E.g. 2 OpenFiler servers running dual connections via dual/redundant switches, where ASM implements a mirror across the 2 storage servers.
High availability is not achieved by installing a specific product like OpenFiler.

How could I restert Oracle AP / 11g DB service safely ?

I was asked to restart Oracle Insight AP and oracle 11g DB services of win2008R server by daily job.
I guess at first stop Oracle Insight AP related service by net stop command maybe.
And how could I stop and start Oracle 11g DB services of win2008R2 safely ?
It is not RAC environment.

Is it OK to just simply stop Oracle DB related services by net stop command and start by net start command ?

Service stop.
①OEM(OracleEnterpriseManager)　(net start OracleDBConsole[SID])
②net start OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener[listenername])
③net start OracleService[SID])
What does your own testing show?
Be sure to anlayze the db alert log after your test. What you don't want to see is a crash recovery on the startup. That would indicate that a net stop of the db service is effectively a 'shutdown abort', leaving your db in an in-consistent state. You could probably get away with that 1000 times. But the one time you don't get away with it, things will be very painful.
Why were you asked to do this as a daily job?
Oh, yes, it's on Windows. ... where everyone believes that regular weekly reboot is "A Good Thing (tm)"

How do I install Oracle LINUX 6.3 ?

Hi, I can't open an own thread so I will append my question here...
I'm trying to install OL6.3 from DVD. All does fine up to installing the boot loader.
After that step I get an error like "missing media.repo". At that point the DVD seems to be not mounted any more. I can't even open the drive. I can edit the search to HTTP or NFS but it should work from DVD, or?!
I can find the xml file (that name given in the exception message) on the DVD in an subdir "Server". Is there a mistake in the V33411-01.iso?
Is there a way to handle this?
Kind regards

There is no mistake in the ISO, but there may be an error with the copy you downloaded. Did you check the digest of the downloaded ISO file against the published digest to make sure it's not damaged in any way?

Dual Boot Pre install Windows 7 with oracle linux on a dell laptop

I'm new in linux. want to install oracle linux on my dell aptop. it has existing windows 7. how can i install oracle linux without affecting win 7 files.
is oracle linux can be install on laptop.

My advice to you is, since you have established such a reputation on this board, on issues that you don't have any knowledge or don't feel comfortable about, please just keep quiet. I don't think your job is to answer every question that has been posted on this board. Recklessly, or worse, knowingly, providing a wrong answer is much worse than no answer at all. These are serious personal accusations. Are you trying to make some noise to create some visibility for yourself? Please don't steal any of my limelight! ;-)
Personally, I don't particularly appreciiate many of your responses to some of the questions that I posted. To me, your responses are rude, idiotic (and insults to my intelligence)!Sorry, I have no idea what makes you so upset. Are you just making this up? What questions and answers are you taking about?
Are you referring to this post: Ralink RT5390 Does Not Work on the UEK Kernel
May I quote/remind you of your own posting:
We installed OL6.3 and Ubuntu 12.04 on a new Asus X45A notebook. It has a Ralink RT5390 wireless card. With Ubuntu, both wifi and video work flawlessly. However, the wifi driver (from elrepo) does not work for the the uek kernel (2.6.39). While the wifi driver works when boot into the RHEL kernel (2.6.32), it created an "even bigger problem" in that the video starts at about 1/10 from the left edge of the screen.
But again, please no one be fooled by my overly optimistic and simplistic comments*. The reality is, I am glad OL6 desktop works at all.
* For example, I actually installed OL6 on 4 notebooks, one of them "does not work" because I couldn't dim the screen. I did not intend to lie, but subconsciously, I somewhat forgot that there was this failed case.
So what are you really trying to tell us/me here?
I think you have shot yourself in the foot here. I'm afraid the best I can offer to you is to remove my response if you remove your post.

How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster

Dear all:
please advice How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster service ..
thanks ,,

Without RAC, you can only have one instance manage the database. One instance = one set of processes communicating via IPC.
Unless you know of a way to have processes use memory-based IPC across nodes, you need to pick a node and install & run the database software on that node.

How to compile Oracle Linux source?

I accidentally downloaded source DVD "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 source - DVD" instead of installable ISO image. Is there anyway I can compile it to make bootable ISO image?
I tried to search this forum as well as other places but couldn't find any information hence thought of opening a thread before I proceed to download correct file which will again take 10+ hrs with my Internet speed :(
Any help is highly appreciated. Also I need to know which packages are required to be installed for compiling the source if at all that is possible. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop.
Thanks in advance for any help and hope to get a reply soon :) I need to urgently install Oracle 11gR2 on it.
Edited by: user6582219 on Apr 12, 2012 1:10 AM
While browsing the forum for any possible solution I came to a thread that discuss installation of a package oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall. When searched through search engine I came to know about recent certification Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux 6, here is the link https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/announcing_oracle_database_11g_r2
https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/announcing_oracle_database_11g_r2
Thing is I already have Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 (the latest) installed on my machine in dual boot mode so I dropped the idea of installing version 5.2. As per the documentation 11gR2 was not certified earlier on Linux 6.2 so I thought of installing 5.2 but it is not necessary now.
I would still appreciate if someone could answer my question just for knowing the procedure compiling source. May be it can help someone else trying to achieve this.
I have another couple of important questions and need guidance from the experts over here. I am not sure if it is appropriate to open a new thread but for now I am posting them here.
Before proceeding here are my environment details:
Machine: x86 32 bit with 2 GB RAM/250 GB HD.
OS: Kubuntu 11.10 Desktop and Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 in dual boot mode.
Here are my partition details for your reference but as I am planning to do the installation from the scratch following new ideal scheme you can jump to last paragraph following the line "*********************************" for my questions.
Unfortunately my partition plan went wrong and here is what I have now:
Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders, total 488397168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x3d5ba9e1
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2048 1002047 500000 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 151525080 361253654 104864287+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda4 1003518 151001087 74998785 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 1003520 7002111 2999296 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 7004160 11001855 1998848 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 11003904 51001343 19998720 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 51003392 110041087 29518848 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
/dev/sda1 here is /tmp, /dev/sda2 is my data partition, I have separate /home / (root) partition for Kubuntu and remianing around 20 GB in extended partition is used for Oracle Linux 6.2 with default Oracle suggested LVM partition. I also have separate /boot for Kubuntu and I chose not to install grub while installing Oracle Linux. I later modified grub.cfg to add entries for Oracle Linux and now I can boot both OSs successfully.
My issue now is I cannot extend 20 GB space (in extended partition) that I have given to Oracle though I have around 40 GB space available. This is because I alreay have 4 primary partitions (one for /boot others for "data" and one extended partition). So I have to make primary partition out of free space and install Oracle in a single partition without following recommended partition layout scheme.
Now I want to do the installation of both the OS from the scratch and really need an advice on partition layout scheme. Here is summary of what I wan to achieve:
1. Keep the "data" partition (primary) intact and carve an ideal partition layout for both the OS with separate /boot, /tmp, /home, swap (and may be for /usr???). Also may be I can share swap?
2. How do I go about using LVM and is it recommended for this case? What would be ideal locations for each partitions and sizes? I already used 100 GB for "data" so now I want to keep 60 GB for Oracle Linux (and Oracle DB for which I will again make few sub-partitions) and remaining will be for Kubuntu.
Well, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask these questions but since I can see very knowlegeable top contributors here that are willing to help novice users I thought of posting these questions.
I would really really appreciate if someone can provide me rough draft of partition scheme in my case considering the sub-partitions needed for Oracle DB. I went thorugh number of forums and documentations to come up with solutuion and finally thought of getting help after much confusion.
I really need to carefully plan this time because it's third time I am doing reinstallation from the scratch because of poor plan I followed previously.
Thank you very much in advance and please let me know in case more information is needed from my side.
Regards,
Ramesh

I accidentally downloaded source DVD "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 source - DVD" instead of installable ISO image. Is there anyway I can compile it to make bootable ISO image?Google will be your best friend for such a question, for instance, "Creating a Custom centos Linux bootable ISO Image". There is no need to duplicate the effort. I recommend you download the correct installation DVD, e.g. 5.8

As per the documentation 11gR2 was not certified earlier on Linux 6.2 so I thought of installing 5.2 but it is not necessary now.So you don't need to install 5.2 anymore, but you want the information how to compile a installation DVD from the 5.2 source anyway?!
I have another couple of important questions and need guidance from the experts over here. I am not sure if it is appropriate to open a new thread but for now I am posting them here.Questions may be important for you, but not necessarily for others. No one will complain if you create a new thread for particular questions or subjects. It is better to separate your topics and questions rather than creating a multi-mega thread, which does little to help anyone else but you. It means more work on your end, but it will be easier for anyone to participate or answer your questions, and it will allow you to better award answers.
Regarding your partitioning questions: It is generally difficult to address such topics in a forum. You are asking for a book of information. My advice is to drop the old fashioned concepts of dual or triple boot options and install Oracle VirtualBox instead. It will make all of these questions obsolete and you can use whatever defaults when installing your virtual machine guest OS. Its a far more superior way of dealing with multiple operating systems on one and the same computer.
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop.
I need to urgently install Oracle 11gR2 on it.For what it's worth, if you can combine the two source below you should be able to install and run 11gR2 on Ubuntu 11.10.

Oracle Linux 6.2 with RAC 11g cluster install fails on root.sh ioctl

I have 2 HP Servers I'm trying to install a cluster to.
I've tried Oracle Linux 6.2 and 6.3 with the same error on both nodes when running the root.sh script.
I have tried the permissions, run-levels, etc that I have found in the forum and nothing has worked except the deconfigure works great. /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -deconfig -force
root.sh Errors:

ohasd failed to start: Inappropriate ioctl for device
ohasd failed to start at /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl line 443.
I can't see whats wrong, I did use ASM to configure iSCSI disks from a storage device which appeared to work correctly:
# oracleasm listdisks
VOL1
VOL2
VOL3
VOL5
# ls /dev/oracleasm/disks/
VOL1 VOL2 VOL3 VOL5
When I created the disks with ASM I used multipath successfuly:
# oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/mapper/23535333762373932
The other node can see the disks just fine with oracleasm listdisks
I chose 3 disks for the OCR - VOL1-3
There was one forum work around to edit the $GRID_HOME/crs/install/s_crsconfig_lib.pm which I did no Oracle Linux 6.3 to no avail. I also tried using NFS mounted volumes for the OCR drives but got the same error.

oracleasm (aka asmlib) may not be supported on RHEL(OEL) 6.x. You do NOT need asmlib and it's days are numbered.

Why is your "requirement" to install in graphical mode? Once you are past the installation itself, the only thing that buys you is that your server will have been configured to boot up to runlevel 5, running a graphical desktop (gnome or kde, I forget which). And what does THAT buy you on a server?
I do not run ANY of my Linux servers "in graphical mode" -- running a graphical desktop. Nor did I run a graphical desktop when I had Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX servers.

How to install oracle 11g on oracle linux 6.1.

Hello everyone here at oracle forum.!
I'm new on using the linux and i badly need to learn it including the Oracle Database for making PHP website.
Because of this i downloaded all the packages of Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 Media Pack for x86 (32 bit) at E-Delivery.
Now i was having a hard time figuring out how to install all the 4 ISO images. the only one that worked was was the boot.iso that installed the Oracle Linux 6 without the DB.
So what would i do to use the 3 updates?
I burnt them all one by one on different DVD but it wont look for the other packages.
So please guys bare with me and help me figure out how to use the other 3 packages for i know it has the Oracle Database.
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 source DVD 1 V26570-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 source DVD 2 V26571-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 Boot iso image for x86 (32 bit) V26573-01

Oracle Linux does not install any Oracle Database. You don't need the source and boot.iso DVD. You can boot and install the system from the Oracle Linux 6.1 installation DVD. The boot.iso is useful for a network install and the source DVD if you want to compile everything yourself.
As far as I know, Oracle Database has not been certified for Oracle Linux 6 yet. That does not necessarily mean you cannot install Oracle Database on Oracle Linux 6 yet, but you will run into problems with software requirements, package dependencies and perhaps incompatibilities, i.e. ext4 file system.
I think your best option is to install Oracle Linux 5 and certainly use Oracle VirtualBox. If you are new to Linux you probably cannot use Linux as your primary OS yet, and VirtualBox will allow you to install and re-install without jeopardizing your primary host OS. You can also download pre-build virtual machines for Virtualbox from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html which might have everything you need installed and ready to use.
