How to install Oracle Enterprised Linux on VMware PLayer 4

Hi Everyone,
My name is John and I've a small issue which I would like to share with you and hopefully, you are able to assist.
My laptop is installed with a Window 7 Home Edition operating system and I've installed VMware-player-4.0.2. After reboot, I've also downloaded the file - V29609-01 which is the ISO file of Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2.
After that, I've tried to create a Virtual Machine - Oracle Enterprise Linux using the VMware Player by specifying the path and file name of the V29609-01.iso file on my local c:\ drive. I've tried it several times, but every time it just returns the message - 'pxe-e53 no boot filename received' and it just hangs there without proceeding further. Please let me know what I've done wrong and the correct steps and procedures to solve this problem as this is my first time installing a Linux operating system. Thank you for your assistance.
Regards,
John

Hi,
Can you clarify and explain what is your exact meaning of 'Are you sure you've added the ISO to the VM to boot from?'? Because the following is what I did:
1.) Click the Create A New Virtual Machine.
2.) Select the 'Install disc image file (iso):' option and enter the full path of the V29609-01.iso (Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2) file that I've downloaded from https://edelivery.oracle.com/. But underneath it, that is a message saying - 'Could not detect which operating systems is in this dsic image. You will need to specify which operating system will be installed.'
3.) Click 'Next'.
4.) I chose "Linux' under the Guest operating system and chose 'Oracle Enterprise Linux' under the Version drop down.
5.) Click 'Next'.
6.) I left the Virtual machine name as 'Oracle Enterprise Linux' and click 'Next'.
7.) I set the Maximum disk size to 300 GB and have the 'Split virtual disk into multiple files' option selected and click 'Next'.
8.) I have the 'Power on this virtual machine after creation' checked and click 'Finish'.
9.) A black screen displayed inside the VMware Player saying:
'CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 0C 289 ......
PXE-E53: No Boot filename received
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
Operating System not found
10.) And the process just hangs there.
Regards,
John

Can you give more details what you are trying to do or trying to accomplish. Where are you trying to ping to?
It could be that you have not defined your gateway or DNS server for name to IP mapping. What is the output of

Install Oracle Enterprise Linux

We have an old workstation (Dell Precision WorkStation 530 with 2.40 GHz Intel Xeon processor, 2 GB RAM, and 3 36-GB hard dirves) and I would like to use it as a test box for Oracle on Linux. I tried to install Oracle Enterprise Linux, but it stuck at the some point every time, either during installing libraries/modules or formatting disk. The place the installation stuck varies. It does give any error message, but the installation just stops there fore hours or days. I tried Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 DVD, Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 DVD, and latest image CDs downloaded form metalink. All have the same issue. That installation starts as normal, then slow down, then freeze. I tried installing Fedora Core on the box using CDs from a Linux book yesterday, but it was successful and worked fine. I am wondering where there are some hardware incompatibility or other issues associated with the box. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
George

Hi, George.
I think you'll have to determine the motherboard and other periferals in your machine to find out which one is incompatible with OEL. The most probable culprit is the motherboard. Find out which model it is and Google, using the model and the term "Enterprise Linux" (or RHEL or Centos, they are all the same).
There may be workarounds, if it's indeed an incompatibility issue: settings in the CMOS Setup or advanced parameters for booting the installation -- usually related to the drives (HD, DVD, SATA mode etc) or to P'n'P periferals (USB, for instance).

Hello,
i think you can work best if you connect your guest to the host network and working from the host directly (if you have no skill with linux). To do this "system-config-network" if avaible on the guest will help you to set ip address.
Otherwise use a text editor like vi or something like that. Most folks these days can not even spell vi when spotted one of the two letters.
All they know how to do is click on the GEDIT icon.What does this mean ?

How to install oracle for Linux ?

Hello,
i have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 for Linux and my host OS is Ubuntu. After unzipping the downloaded file i got
1. response folder,
2.upgrade folder and
3.oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm file.
My host OS Ubuntu is 64 bit, and i have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 64 bit for Linux.
But i am unable to use that database. Please help how to use that !

Hello;
Your download does not appear to be correct, I would expect a much different result from unzipping.
I would check this out and follow it to the letter if I were doing it :

PavanG is probably correct, in that case you should look at this :

Enterprise linux on vmware workstation

hello gurus,
I have installed Oracle Enterprise Linux on Vmware Workstation 5 with 1.5 GB memory and a disk of 20 GB. When the virtual machine is running it stops responding in a regular frequency. It seems like some process is running in the background taking up all cpu-time. I can't find what is bothering the system. Is this a known issue?

Hi,
Please try to run a top command from shell, and check what is eating the CPU.
Cheers,

Install VMWARE Workstation on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2

Hi,
I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2 and then i want to install Vmware Workstation 6.5. But the kernel pre-configured is installed with XEN option into kernel. And the Vmware package is not compatible with.
So i must to desinstall Xen option from the kernel.
Is someone can explain to me how to do ?
Regards.
Stéphane.

There are several variations on the kernel RPM package. Some have XEN support and some do not.
1) Make sure you have the simple kernel-<version> RPM package installed:
# rpm -q kernel-$(uname -r)
and install it if you don't:
# up2date --install kernel
2) Remove the kernel-xen RPM package:
# rpm -e kernel-xen
3) Reboot into your vanilla kernel installed in step #1

Can I install Oracle VM server on VMware Workstation 7 with linux?

I have installed VMware Workstation 7 on my laptop that already has windows 7 operating system.
Next I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 on my VMware Workstation 7.
Now am planing to setup a RAC environment.

Are VMware server and Oracle VM server the same?

Can anyone tell me what to do to continue the installation?
Thanks in advance

Can you provide more information, like what is your desktop system?
Besides, Enterprise Linux is not designed to work on Desktop or other portable computers. Your Ethernet may not be the only issue.
You may check the following link:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=247399
" I am seeing this behaviour as well on installing Fedora 9 Beta on an older Dell Latitude C840 laptop. I was able to get this error in a subsequent install by skipping the network
configuration."
"This really seems like something that could be caused by errors reading the CD media. Could someone who is seeing this take a look at tty4 or /tmp/syslog and see if there are kernel read error messages?"

Driver issue for Oracle Enterprise Linux

Hi All,
I have just installed Oracle Enterprise Linux. I was not able to access network. After doing lspci -- i found that my ethernet conrtoller : Atheros Communications AR8151 Gigabit Ethernet.
Can any one tell how to install driver for this ?

What is your output of:
<pre>
lsb_release -d
uname -r
</pre>
What kernel driver is in use or loaded regarding your Ethernet card when you check the output of lspci -v"?
Note that Oracle Linux just like any other Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not designed for typical consumer grade Laptops and Desktop systems.
Does your computer vendor provide any driver software for Enterprise Linux? You might be able to find 3rd party driver support using http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php as a temporary yum software repository. Probably kmod-atl1 or similar.

Configure dial-up connection in Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 4-3.7.11

Hallo!I have just finished installing Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 4-3.7.11 so that I can set up Oracle 10g on this Linux platform.
But first I need to set up a few configurations e.g enable my OEL connect to the internet via a dial-up modem.
I have used my modem successfully on openSUSE 11.2 and Ubuntu 9.04 but I am unable to use it on OEL.
My ubuntu configurations are as follows
Connection Name:ZAIN
Number:*99#
APN:ke.celtel.com
How do I set up dial-up in OEL using the settings above?
Also,simple commands to restart the OEL such as shutdown -r now are not being found when I type them in the terminal.How can this be so?
Thanks.

Use wvdial to dial out using the modem, authenticate, and have it launch the pppd daemon for creating an IP connection via the modem.
If you want to configure manually, you will need to edit the files pap-secrets and chap-sercrets in +/etc/ppp+. Then you also need a unique config file for your connection defined in the +/etc/ppp/peers+ directory.
These files are fairly simple to edit. The secret files contains your ISP authentication details. The peers file the phone number and account name (from the secret files) to use. wvdialconf should configure this accordingly though.
There's lot of details available on the web - suggest you google.

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
