Infiniband configuration for Oracle VM in Sparc T5-2

hello all,
Just wanted to post here to ask if someone has experience on configuring Infiniband interfaces in a SPARC T5-2 Server with multiple Oracle VMs in it
As far as we have checked, you can't have Virtual Switch(Simple way) using an Infiniband Interface and neither use DIO to assign individual PCI device to a Virtual Domain, only leaving us with the option of SR-IOV which requires several things(We are good with all of them but Switch F/W version) but it disables the possibility of Live Migration--something that we definitely don't want
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance and Regards

Hi, just a note that with SR-IOV you can (with current logical domains manager) remove the SR-IOV device while the domain is running, so there is a way to accomplish live migration. See the August 20, 2013 blog entry at https://blogs.oracle.com/raghuram/
I hope that helps, Jeff

RAID+10 provides better performance.

Error starting Portal or Commerce Server when Configured for Oracle

I've been attempting to configure Portal 4.0 to work with Oracle. I'm running Oracle
8i. I carefully followed the instructions found in "Configuring WebLogic Portal for
Oracle Databases". Specifically, I setup the tablespaces, connection pools and successfully
run the scripts to populate the tables. I am confident the Oracle OCI driver is configured
properly (have done this many times). However, after I make all of the necessary
changes and launch the server, I receive the following error:

You probably followed the instructions too closely. I had the same

due to
something that's not quite a "bug" in the installation instructions.Look
back at
the section "Update Settings for the RDBMS Security Realm" in thedeployment
guide
(http://edocs.bea.com/wlp/docs40/deploygd/oraclnew.htm#1039294).
In the table in step 2, they show the URL on top, and the Driverclassname
underneath
it. HOWEVER... on the actual data screen, the Driver is on top and the
URL is underneath
it. If you're not being very very careful, it's easy to swap thesetwo
values
and put the URL in the Driver input box and the Driver in the URL input
box. Make
sure you haven't accidentally done this; if you have, you can stillchange
this in
the config.xml file (do a text search for an element RDBMSRealm withan
"name" attribute
of "wlcsRealm").
Verify that it looks like this:
<RDBMSRealm DatabaseDriver="weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver"
DatabaseURL="jdbc:weblogic:oracle"
Name="wlcsRealm"
and not this:
<RDBMSRealm DatabaseDriver="jdbc:weblogic:oracle"
DatabaseURL="weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver"
Name="wlcsRealm"
Very subtle gotcha...

HRMS Analytics configuration for Oracle EBS

Hi ,
I have to configure HRMS Analytics for Oracle EBS(Referring Configuration Guide for OBIA 7.9.6.3) , I am new to OBIA :
I just started working domain Values (csv files), I have few queries for the same:
1. Is is necessary to Use the query mentioned in the OBIA Setup guide , to get the Domain Values. Can we use different query to extract the Domain Values ?
What is the effect if query is changed ?
2. Some csv are for 11i instance ,so does it mean , it is not required to configure those csv files for R12 ?
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Razi

Here are the answers to the questions:
1. Is is necessary to Use the query mentioned in the OBIA Setup guide , to get the Domain Values. Can we use different query to extract the Domain Values ?
What is the effect if query is changed ?
A: Not necessairily. The query is there to help you gather the relevant data but this is a functional exercise. If a HR Functional person on your team can identify the relevant domains, events, etc, then you can populate it manually. The goal is to get the relevant EBS domain values and map to the BI requirements. The query is a fast way to get the list of the existing values from the EBS DB.
2. Some csv are for 11i instance ,so does it mean , it is not required to configure those csv files for R12 ?
A: If the COnfig Guide specifically has a section for R12 versus 11..then you need to follow for the version you are on. However, there are general "EBS" configurations that you need to do for both versions. Rule of thumb, if it doesnt specific the version, then it needs to be done for both.
If helpful, pls mark correct or helpful

ODBC configure for oracle

Hello expert,
I have two configureation in configuration file for oracle database as follows:

I can see "PRODDW" in the ODBC, but PRODDW.WORLD seems exact same as PRODDW in the above. so please tell me what is PRODDW.WORLD? why they are same?

Hardware Configuration for Oracle DB on DELL Server

We are currently running Oracle 8.0.5 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. This is a DELL PowerEdge 6600 server with 8 73GB Ultra SCSI Hard Drives. We will be upgrading to Oracle 9i in the future. Question: What would be the recommended Hardware RAID Configuration? We've heard that RAID 10 would be a good configuration to implement. What would be the best way for us to configure our server? We would like a high fault tolerance, good performance system. Our database isn't very large in size (10GB) but, we do require 24 x 7 availability. By the way, switching to a different operating system is not an option for us.

You've probably read this already; but, the documentation has some minimums: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26996_01/e18548/CHDJCIFD.html
The management server doesn't require anything special.

Ian

HI,
For your home testing you might need a latest technology to get a smooth and fast installation. i7 processor might be the ideal with memory at least 8GB. if you're planning to have more than 3 VMs running at the same time than you need 12-16GB memory at least.
From my experience installing on vm and allocated memory 2.5GB each VM the installation could take 15-30minutes
Cheers

Hardware Configurations for Oracle 10g AS

Hi,
I'm looking for Hardware Configurations on various platforms which Oracle AS 10g supports. Basically i'm looking for details for these on each supported platforms.
No. Of CPUs
CPU Speed
RAM
Disk Space
I would appreciate if someone point me some document on this.
Thanks,

Those parameters are more of a function of intended use (ie the application and which components of AS involved). There are absolute minimum values to enable installation (not use) of the software in each platforms Install Guide.

Recommended configuration for Oracle VM Server and VM Manager

Hi,
Currently we have two dedicated DELL servers (VM server and VM Manager) for which are building an Oracle stack environment.
We are facing a problem which we didn't find answer from Oracle docs or via Google. The problem is that the virtual machines we create in VM Manager can't be connected to the outside world, and we think it's because our host (Hetzner) does not allow ports eth1-eth3 to be connected to the servers, unless we have these servers in the same rack and connected via switch.
Our question is, is it recommended configuration to have VM Server and VM Manager servers in the same rack and connected via switch?
If yes, the next question is, if we need in the future to add one more dedicated DELL server to our configuration to host virtual machines, is it possible if the new third dedicated DELL server is not connected via switch to the two dedicated DELL servers we have already have?
If no, the next question is, what could be the recommended configuration and solution to our problem in our case that ports eth1-eth3 cannot be connected to the servers?
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need more information. I do appreciate your time and expertise. Thanks.

The architectural environment is now done like on this graphic. For security reasons Hetzner hosting service does not allow ports eth1-eth3 to be connected, but in internal network under switch they do.

SQLNet Configuration for Oracle 7.1.5 on VMS 6.2 Alpha Server

We have Oracle 9i installed on a SUN Solaris Server.
We are using Oracle 8i's OAS version 4.0.8.1.
I have another user who has an Oracle database version
7.1.5.2.3 running on VMS O/S 6.2 Alpha server.
This user want to connect to our Server and use the
OAS to create web pages.
How can I configure this database using SQLNet ?
What all things I should do to configure the 7.1.5
database to be connected to our server?
Is it possible?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Mercy.

You simply have to find that library and copy it to /usr/X11R6/lib . I installed everything related to X and then found libXpm* in /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib .

How to choose a right server for Oracle Database!

Hi all,
Is there any formular that allows me to find the appropriate server configuration for Oracle database 11g?
Please help!
Thank you all.
Dan.
Edited by: Dan on 01:45 06-01-2013

Simply put ... no.
Determining the correct server is a dance between hardware vendors (one point of input to be treated with general distrust), internal expertise and experience working with similar systems, and most importantly understanding the behaviour of what you are building.
Here are some sample questions to start the ball rolling.
1. What operating system expertise does your organization have?
2. What operating system expertise is readily available in the community from which you hire applicants?
3. What type of application?
4. What are up-time expectations?
5. Requirements for high availability?
6. Requirements for time to perform a full recovery?
7. Requirements for security?
8. Storage footprint (dictates internal storage versus SAN, NAS, or ZFS)
9. Anticipated growth (3-7 years)
Everyone wants to sell you CPU clock-ticks, more RAM, more IOPS, etc. But the first thing you need to understand is the capabilities you require that are generic: Required of any solution. Only when you have a clear understanding of these factors are you ready to discuss whether the solution is a pizza box or an ODA ... an Exadata or an IBM System Z.
Far too often I find people purchasing RAM they don't need with CPU speeds that exceed the ability of their network infrastructure to move the data so pay special attention when you are ready to make your purchase to engineered systems like the ODA.
