How to manage oracle in linux

Hi all experienced dba out there. I had been administering oracle on Windows. But now I am looking for a dba role where the OS environment is mostl likely to be LINUX. Any guys who have worked on linux environment, can you please tell me, is it really hard to manage oracle in linux as I mentioned I only have experience in windows. I have also heard there is GUI in linux which is similar to windows. Do you guys mostly use command or GUI of linux to manage your oracle at work. If command is mostly used, what are the most common commands to manage oracle. Thanks alot for your attention

Manging Oracle on Linux is no more difficult than managing Oracle on Windows.
Managing Linux is about the same difficulty as managing Windows. Both require a degree of understanding of the environment. Once you are comfortable with the environment and the terminology / language used, you should have no big problems.
I think the biggest challenges in Linux are
- a different set of editors than you have used
- a lot more time in the command line and writing batch scripts
- Microsoft has many of the nix command capabilities but with enough changes (cp -> copy) to be confusing (remember, nix came first <g>)
- the idea of 'C:, D:' drives is totally gone ... in *nix there is no 'drive', it's all just 'files'
There are several GUI utilities to help 'manage' Linux. These may not be very useful when working with Oracle environment as they tend to relate to a file-oriented (or fire server) computing environment, not a database environment. However, you might want to search the web for 'WebMin' as a possibility.
I encourage you get a good basic reference. One I like, although dated, is Essential System Administration

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.

John

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 :

How to manage oracle 9i databases from 11g ?

Is there any option similar to 9i OEM's "Add Database to tree" in 11g ?
currently I monitor 30 databases, all running 9iR2, using enterprise manager console. I had removed Oracle 9i from my system to install 11g, so is there anyway to monitor 9i database from 11g or do I have to re-install 9i into a new home ?
My system is Windows XP and most databases are on linux.

What, precisely, do you mean by "11g Enterprise manager console"? Are you talking about a web-based interface? Or a Java-based console application?
If you have not done a separate OEM install, you're most likely using the database control, as web-based interface that allows you to manage a single database. You would need to install the Grid Control in order to manage multiple databases through the same interface.
You're probably right, that's why I asked the question. Perhaps the original poster meant the "10g Enterprise Manager console". Perhaps he meant the "11g Enterprise Manager Database Control". Perhaps he meant the "11g Enterprise Manager Grid Control". Or perhaps he meant something different (i.e. SQL Developer is a console application that ships with 11g and has a variety of reporting scripts).
The OP for the 11g installation could not have possibly made a separate OEM install, OEM is not included in 11g any more and he has not mentioned trying such intall. The OP was clear enough, so IMO there is no confusion, 30 9i databases, 1 11g database. There was not a 10g in between. I would not go so far as to say an 11g grid control, since there is no such grid control, the latest version for grid control is 10.2.0.4.0 for R2 and 10.1.0.3.0 for R1. And SQLDeveloper, yes, it is a java application included with 11g, and you can launch scripts from there, but in no way it is a managing environment the way the OP pretends.

How to manage oracle 8i db

I have the next question:
I am testing different databases.
At the first time I install an oracle 8 standard database, then I becomes a lot of database management tools as Oracle enterprice manager.
Now I have install the oracle 8i enterprice database wich I have received on the Oracle IDevelop 2000 seminar.
And I cannot find the same tools as the oracle enterprice manger.
Could anyone tell me we I can find these tools or on which cd are these tools.
thanks a lot
Andre

Hi,
You can also configure your As Java DB into DBACOKPIT of your As ABAP system as a remote database. From there you can do the administration.
Thanks

How to manage Oracle 9i resource

i am actually trying oracle DB 9i at home with the following system.
Pentium 3 800, 256MB, Win2k Professional SP3.
Previously, my pc runs smoothly but after the installation of oracle 9i (Standard), it has taken off around 150MB of my memory. Windows Task Manager reported MEM Ussage 400MB. dat's like twice my physical memory. this slows my system so badly n i need to wait like 2 minutes to start up JDeveloper.
I need the oracle db to test my out some of the Oracle JDeveloper's BC4J application. basically, a basic DB engine.. like the down scale MS Server, MS Data Engine (MSDE) would do me good. Any solution to make oracle db consumes less resources?

You might want to take a look at personal oracle.
Good luck
Remi
