Install 11gR2 on Linux 6 with ASM for production environment ?

Hi Experts
Plz I hope someone could help me, I am planning to Install Oracle 11g R2(11.2.0.3)
on Oracle Linux 6 with ASM for a production environment.
My doubt is: Is it a stable combination ? someone has experience working with this version ? is there some Oracle documents to support this implementation on Production ?
I have been installing and working with 11g R2 on Oracle Linux 5 (5.7,5.8) with ASM for some time and I didn’t have problems, it’s very stable combination
My situation is this: Our client insist on use Oracle Linux 6 on a new Oracle implementation, even when we told her Oracle Linux 5 its Very stable, so that’s why I am asking for some advice, because it’s a production environment 7x24.
Thank you for your time and advice

  • Struggling with oracle clustered production environment

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to upgrade Oracle Data Integrator(ODI) from 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.6.3 We have a Clustered production environment where N1 will be up when N2 be down and viceversa.
    Here N1 and N2 are the ODI servers as well as DB(11g Release 2) servers. They both access the SHARED CLUSTERED database.
    From ODI we will generally point the Oracle clustered IP(Virtual IP) which will internally point either N1 or N2 whichever is active.
    ODI application wise we are clear about the procedure.
    Having some issues on DB related activities.
    1. Should I break the cluster definitely? Cant I do the activity without breaking the cluster?
    2. Do I need to point N1, N2, Clustered IP (Virtual IP) while doing the activities?
    3. Since its a clustered database, do I need to db related activities once or twice? (Twice means, manually on both the servers)
    4. As they are using same file structures (RAC), If the Virtual IP points N1 by default, assume that I create two new users and log in is success. Now i manually point N2 and what will happen if I try to log in to the two new users from N2. will it work?
    5. If it will not work, then what would be the solution for this?
    Please someone suggest about the clustered environment production problem.
    As this is high priority, early response would be highly appreciated.
    Need Expert's suggestions for the sequence of steps that to be carried out for a successful migration in clustered environment.
    Many thanks in advance..!

    This is an ODI question.
    Please discontinue your question here and continue it in your duplicate thread here Struggling with oracle clustered production environment
    Apart from that, ODI is a front-end tool. If you have any clue about RAC: for ODI it doesn't matter whether your database is RAC or not. the issue is you installed a front-end tool in a RAC environment.
    Finally:
    As this is high priority, early response would be highly appreciated.For high priority questions there is paid support. This is a forum of volunteers.
    Asking for high priority is IMO insulting and rude.

  • Is vmware supported for production environment ?

    Hi All,
    Is vmware supported for production environment ?
    Thanks
    Sunny

    All,
    I'm glad someone has outlined the clear support statement that has existed for sometime between VMware - SAP.  For those of you still running on Oracle, here is some good news:
    Wording towards SAP Customers requesting support:
    "Oracle, VMware and SAP are working collaboratively to ensure support for SAP customers that use VMware virtualization for SAP solutions running Oracle DB. Functional tests are currently being performed to verify supportability of the SAP&Oracle stack.  Details will be made available in SAP note 1173954 u201CSupport of Oracle for VMwareu201D after tests have been completed. It is expected that in Q1 2010, ESX 3.5 and later releases including vSphere 4 will be supported by Oracle and SAP according to Oracleu2019s metalink note 249212."
    There is no reason why x86 platform today cannot run the most demanding workloads on VMware vSphere in a production environment.  But has noted earlier, don't get hung up on "production" - you have heaps of TestDev, SolMan TestDev, sandboxes, gateways, application servers etc that should immediately by put into a VM - once you are comfortable with your solution in-house, I'm sure you will move production instances into a VM as well.

  • Patching strategy for Production environment

    Hi all,
    Can anyone share their patch strategy specially for production environment?? We have production environment and we are planning to patch our databases using PSU pacthes with no downtime. Our production environment has standby. We have one option that we can make standby to primary. Is there any other options that we can use??? Also we are not using Grid control.
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    In 11gR2 onwards it is possible to patch without downtime using a physical standby database (converts to transient logical standby). Please look at the document below. There is a script on Metalink as well which makes this all much easier.

  • Best Practice for Production environment

    Hello everyone,
    can someone share the best practice for a production environment? or is there a SAP standard best practice to follow in a Production landscape?
    i understand there are Best practices available for Implementation , Migration and upgrade. But, i was unable to find one for productive landscape
    thanks.

    Hi Siva,
    What best practise are you looking for ? If you can be specific on your question we could provide appropriate response.
    From my basis experience some of the best practices.
    1) Productive landscape should have high availability to business. For this you may setup DR or HA or both.
    2) It should have backup configured for which restore has been already tested
    3) It should have all the monitoring setup viz application, OS and DB
    4) Productive client should not be modifiable
    5) Users in Production landscape should have appropriate authorization based on SOD. There should not be any SOD conflicts
    6) Transport to Production should be highly controlled. Any transport to Production should be moved only with appropriate Change Board approvals.
    7) Relevant Database and OS security parameters should be tested before golive and enabled
    8) Pre-Golive , Post Golive should have been performed on Production system
    9) EWA should be configured atleast for Production system
    10) Production system availability using DR should have been tested
    Hope this helps.

  • Container classes generation for production environment

    You can run the WebLogic EJB compiler on the JAR file before you deploy the beans,
    or you can let WebLogic Server run the compiler for you at deployment time.
    I have to release :
    - an ear, containing 1 ejb and other stuff
    - a client-jar (delegate, remote, home), that will be included in another ear (client
    application of our ejb).
    Both the ear will be deployed on the same wl instance (6.1sp2) (production environment).
    For a production environment, which are the pros and contras ?
    (not considering deploy time differences on wlserver, of course).
    Which is the best practice ? Is it suggested to release the ear with the container
    classes already generated (run ejbc before) or delegate the generation to weblogic
    server ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Oracle Installation for Production Environment.

    Hi All,
    We need to install Oracle in our production environment.
    But since there is no DBA in our project, we need to do it by ourself.
    I was just wondering what all steps and cautions I need to take to install it.
    I was told just double click on Setup.exe :-) and that would suffice.
    I am pretty sure its not that easy, atleast for a production environment.
    We might need to set some params, may be.
    We are at present using Oracle 10g Rel 1.
    Any help/suggestion would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Tanuja

    Well, it does more complicate than a double click of setup.exe, especially for a production database.
    It's not only about the installation, also think about how do you want to create your database, the storage configuration, database configuration, and backup/recover strategy etc.
    For installation, make sure you follow Oracle installation guide,
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10130_02/toc.htm
    And there are many other document here

  • Is standalone OC4J scalable for production environment

    Hi,
    Can our team use an OC4J standalone (a cluster perhaps) to deliver Web applications on a production environment?
    The Web app comprises JSPs and Servlets only at the moment, in future we are considering EJBs and other J2EE components.
    Will standalone OC4J scale well and is performance good enough for real world applications?
    Thank you
    Llies Meridja

    OC4J standalone is the exact same code that is packaged inside of Oracle9iAS so will have the same characteristics of Oracle9iAS. The benchmarks that Oracle markets with the ECPerf and SpecJAppServer is same thing ... so you should have no issues with performance etc.
    You might have seen that we recently released a Java Edition of Oracle9iAS, which focuses primarily on the Java features rather than the extended features like Portal, Wireless etc. If you look at this URL, you will see the feature set comparison of this minimal Java version compared to the other versions:
    http://www.oracle.com/ip/deploy/ias/index.html?pkgsum.html
    Further, as I understand it, as long as you license one of the Java Edition, Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition, you will be supported running the corresponding instance stand-alone instance of OC4J if you want to work outside of the out-of-the-box framework which Oracle9iAS provides for OC4J instances to run in.
    Mike.

  • Topology for production environment

    this question is related to production environment deployment and clustering.
    we have 1 physical server where we have webcenter domain. this domain has 1 admin server and 1 managed server (custom web center portal managed server).
    our plan is to deploy our application on this managed server.
    this is no clustered environment and not recommended (no failover, no load balancing).
    what shall we do?
    shall we create another managed server (custom web center portal managed server) and deploy our application on these 2 managed servers? there will be a load balancer in front to take care of transferring request to both the servers...
    what's your suggestions?
    please note that i know specific answer will depend on NFR (user load, performance etc) but i am looking for general guidance and reference around same like -
    how many managed server recommended?
    what kind of topology recommended for web center application?
    etc
    thanks.

    I'd recommend you to start with this document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/cluster/overview.html as a lot of this question is related to Weblogic clustering than WebCenter.
    Note that whilst clustering has many pros, it has also few cons; among those:
    - you might require additional hardware/software, or used components (like filesystem) will have to have features that you don't need in a non-clustered environment
    - though small, scaling does consume some resources (I've heard that WebCenter Content takes 1-2% of Solaris, but up-to 25% on Windows Servers!)
    - it's always at least a bit more expensive
    Therefore, you should not go for a cluster, because it's cool, but because you have damn good reasons for that (that you didn't mention!), stemming from SLAs, or requirements for Disaster Recovery.
    You write that you have just one physical server, so you already have one potential single point of failure.
    I think I've heard that Weblogic Server itself is capable of self-recovery; this means, that a server may go down (you will lose all the current sessions), but is capable of auto-recovery. If your users survive that from time to time they will lose uncommitted work, then maybe a need for clustering (HA) won't be that strong (you might also go just for tuning your Weblogic Server).
    On the other hand, where clustering might be necessary, if you need to scale, especially, if you need cloud-like increase/decrease of resources. I doubt it is possible to say up-front how many servers is recommended, but you may tune this later - whilst going from 1 node to 2 is relatively a big leap, going from 2 to 3, or 3 to 4 is then quite easy.
    Either way, I'd recommend you to be in sync with your app server admin.thanks jiri. this was helpful.
    while i agree that any architectural decision should be justifiable to requirements but as far as my experience goes clustering is basic thing in any production environment... in case 1 managed server goes down, other can still serve requests...
    i'll read link provided by you and ask specific questions if any...
    thanks.

  • License required for Production Environment

    Want to know what kind of license would be required to deploy Crystal Reports on a Production Environment  with a Java based Web Application.

  • Oracle10g RAC with ASM for stretch cluster

    Assuming suitable network between sites is in place for RAC interconnect (e.g. dark fibre / DWDM), does it make sense (or is it possible) to stretch a RAC cluster across 2 sites, using ASM to mirror database files between SAN storage devices located at each site? The idea being to combine local high availability with a disaster recovery capability, using hardware that is all active during normal operation (rather than say a single RAC cluster on one site with Data Guard to transport data to the other site for DR).
    Or, for a stretch cluster, would SAN / OS implemented remote mirroring be a better idea? (I'd have thought this is likely to incur even more overhead on the network than ASM, but that might be dependant on individual vendors' implementations).
    Any thoughts welcome!
    Rob

    Please refer the thread Re: 11GR2 ASM in non-rac node not starting... failing with error ORA-29701

  • Can I use forms and reports 6I runtime for production environment?

    I have a doubt.
    I know if i use or install developer (forms and reports 6I) both, runtime and builder, I do require a license.
    But If I buy the standard edition license for database (in production or deployment), and I wanna use the runtimes (from forms and reports) only as runtime not to modify or develop anything, is it possible? just to download it or install it in RUNTIME mode?
    Is it possible and legal?
    Thanks

    Can I download that developer and install both forms and report runtime (yes only runtime) to access a licensed standard edition database? The problem is, you can't download that version any more! All download links to Forms version earlier that 10g R2 have been removed from Oracle's web site. You might still be able to download Forms 6i from My Oracle Support, but this requires a paid license agreement with Oracle to access My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink).
    So, if you already have a copy of Oracle Developer Forms and Reports 6i then all you need to do is contact your local Oracle Sales Representative to get an official answer to your licensing question. If you don't have a copy of Forms 6i, then you are pretty much out of luck unless you know someone who has a copy!

  • Best practice for oracle 10.2 RAC with ASM

    Did any one tried/installed Oracle 10.2 RAC with ASM and CRS ?
    What is the best practice?
    1. separate home for CRS, ASM and Oracle Database?
    2. separate home for CRS and same home for ASM and Oracle Darabase?
    we set up the test environment with separate CRS, ASM and Oracle database homes, but we have tons of issues with the listener, spfile and tnsnames.ora files. So, seeking advise from the gurus who implimeted/tested the same ?

    I am getting ready to install the 10gR2 database software (10gR2 Clusterware was just installed ) and I want to have a home for ASM and another for database as you suggest. I have been told that 10gR2 was to have a smaller set of binaries that can be used for the ASM home ... but I am not sure how I go about installing it. The first look at the installer does not seem to make it obvious...Is it a custom build option?
