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.

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).

Marcio

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

Oracle Enterprise Linux 5u5 install issue

Please help.
I'm trying to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 5u5 on a desktop computer.

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?"

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

Yast installation problem on Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2

Hi,
I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2 on a new server (Intel 64 bit) with the downloads from oracle
(Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc1.iso till Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc6.iso).
Then I wanted to install Yast for administering my machine and downloaded yast_el5_x86_64.tar, again from Oracle. Running the Yast install routine it required the perl-Digest-SHA package. I downloaded that from Oracle ULN and installed it.
Now, running the Yast install routine again, I get a bunch of warnings and errors about failed dependencies and NOKEY's.

Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 Installation Fails during Disk Partitioning

Hi,
I've tried to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 by creating a Virtual Machine using Oracle VM Virtual Box in my laptop with Window XP host OS (NTFS filesystem), by following the below steps.
1) Installed Oracle VM Virtual Box
2) Created a new Virtual machine using a virtual box by specifying the two .iso images i.e OracleLinux-R6-U1-Server-i386-dvd.iso and boot.iso as the boot device and by specifying the following Disk files (.vdi) as follows.
2.1) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Root_Disk_1.vdi - For the / (i.e Root) partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
2.2) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Swap_Disk_1.vdi - For the swap partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - swap
2.3) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_User_Disk_1.vdi - For the /usr partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 20 GB - ext4
2.4) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Home_Disk_1.vdi - For the /home partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
But while installing OEL 6.1 after specifying the partitions, the installer get hung and throws an error as bug while creating the ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda1.
I tried to specify the default 8 GB for all the above four partitions, the installer successfully continues without any issues. But if i specify any partition more than 8 GB, it fails.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem by creating the above specified partitions with the above size ? Why does it fail if i specify any size more than 8 GB ?
Thanks
Harish

8 GB is a common limit for systems were the boot loader or system BIOS imposes an addressable space limit for the boot partition. In such situations, the system boot partition has to fit within the first 8 GB physical boundary of the harddrive.
Your setup seems a bit unusual. Why do you create separate disks for each Linux partition?
Normally the Linux installer creates necessary partitions on the disk, including a /boot partition that is usually only 100 MB in size.
What are you doing with boot.iso? You should be able to start the system from the main installation DVD or .iso image. You might also want to install x86_64 Linux, unless your hardware is really very old and does not support the 64-bit extension. You can run 32-bit software on a n 64-bit OS, but not the other way around and you will limit your software to 32-bit only.

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

waldorfm wrote:
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

Oracle Enterprise Linux on Dell

Hi
I need to know on which Dell Servers Oracle Enterprise Linux will not install.
Can you please let me know if there are any issues installing Oracle Enterprise Linux on
Dell(TM) PowerEdge(TM) R710 Rack Mount Server on
-Intel(R) Quad Core E5504 Xeon(R) CPU 2.0GHz
Strangely i am being told that we can install Redhat 5.2 on it but not Oracle Enterprise Linux
Kindly advise
Thanks a lot
Cyril

We have a rack of Dell R710s (6 servers for a 5 node RAC and 1 for OEM). All of them have OEL 5.4 installed on them. We have had no problems running OEL on these systems until we try to initialize IPMI on them following some instructions our DBA got from Oracle. Looking at other non-Oracle documentation for IPMI, we find the same initialization commands so there is nothing specific to Oracle that is failing here.
Except for our problem with IPMI, these boxes work great with OEL.

Unable to install Orable Enterprise Linux with LSI MegaRAID 8300XLP

I could not install Oracle Enterprise Linux on the PC with LSI MegaRAID 8300XLP
On the boot prompt, i typed "linux dd" with USB floppy driver, but it did not detect the driver.

I got the megaraid driver from fujitsu siemens and followed instruction from “Linux Driver for Primergy Servers” to create Linux driver image.
Note: mega_sas.ett, mega_sas.sh and mega_sas.biz
I formatted the floppy disk, then I run the script, mega_sas in Linux. The script will generate some files which need for LSI MegaRAID 8300XLP.
The three files (mega_sas.ett, mega_sas.sh and mega_sas.biz) have to be on the same directory.
RedHat 4 U4 x86 64 bits
On the boot prompt, I typed a command “linux dd ” with the LSI MegaRAID 8300 XLP driver image , and it detected the driver. I could load OS on TX150-S5.
Oracle Enterprise Linux x86 64 bit R4-U4
On the boot prompt, I typed a command “linux dd” with the same driver image which I used it on RedHat 4 U4 x86 64 bit, and it could not detect the driver.
During the installation, on the page which gives me two options for partitioning the disk,
“Automatically partition
Manually partition with Disk Druid
After I chose one of them, I clicked “Next” and I got an error message such as
“ No Drivers Found

Is vsftpd included in the Oracle Enterprise Linux Server Release 5.3?

Hi there,
I have just installed Oracle Enterprise Linux server release 5.3 (Tikanga). I was trying to setup the "vsftpd" service but was unable to find it. Do you know if vsftpd is distributed along with 5.3 or do I need to install it seperately? Although there is "gssftp" and I configured the same.
In case anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I need this vsftpd thing also. Someone told me that it works as a file server right? We need to have sa centralized repository of all our Oracle Apps Documentations (BR100, MD50, Oracle Tutor, Test Scripts, TA100, etc)
How do you configured this thing as "centralized" repository?
Thanks a lot,

Guide to installing XE and Apex on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 (64 bit)

I have just been through a time consuming and frustrating process of installing Oracle XE 10gR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 x86-64 and I want to share my experience so that others can benefit from it and overcome the same problems more quickly.
Prior to starting I had installed OEL 5.3 and been using it for a few days. The system I am using is a home built box with an AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition, 8 Gb RAM, Highpoint RR2680 RAID controller with 4 1TB disks in a RAID5 array and an additional 320Gb HDD storing the OS. I am using KDE3.5 on the desktop.
The main problem I encountered was with SELinux. As I eventually intend to have this system exposed on the Internet I was reluctant to switch it off despite having read extensively about the issues surrounding it and Oracle. I had several failed attempts at the installation process before succumbing to the reality that SELinux and Oracle are not happy bedfellows. I decided to switch SELinux to permissive mode having followed the advice here.
I found a very helpful guide to installing XE on Linux here as part of the installation of an application called Spacewalk. Note that you do not need to complete the whole Spacewalk installation, but just follow the instructions in the linked page.
Before you start you need to ensure that the UID of your oracle user is less than 500. Mine was 500, so I used the following commands to fix this:
usermod -u 250 oracle
find / -uid 500 -exec chown oracle {} \;
These change the oracle UID to 250 (but check that isn't already used first!) and the find command searches for all files that were owned by oracle (but weren't after the usermod cmd) and changes them back to oracle's ownership.
Now follow the Spacewalk instructions until you reach the Server Setup section. Before you do this you need to make a couple of changes to the script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe. I found these changes in various places, such as [link(1)|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1345771&#1345771] and [link(2)|http://dbataj.blogspot.com/2008/08/lblibrarypath-is-not-set-on-startup.html].
Note that in link(1) the oracle-xe-selinux packages installed have the same effect as the chcon command on the shared libraries so it isn't necessary to perform this step.
Open /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in vi (or your favourite editor) and do the following:
line 49: change /bin/su to /sbin/runuser
after line 52 (export PATH...) add the following lines:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
There are further changes recommended to /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in [this post|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3201491&#3201491] but I haven't done them yet.
Having done the above changes you can now configure Oracle XE by running /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure (as root!). As I have Apache Tomcat running on port 8080 I changed the default HTTP port to 8500 but kept the listener on its default port of 1521. Once the confuration script is done you will need to change the ports SELinux uses for Oracle as follows:
semanage port -d -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 9000 - deletes port 9000, which is the SELinux default port for Apex
semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 1521 - ensure that listener port is OK (assuming you used default of 1521, change accordingly if you didn't)
semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 8500 - add the new Apex HTTP port to SELinux
After all this running:
semanage port -l | grep oracle
should show you:
oracle_port_t tcp 1521, 8500
I ignored the TNSNAMES.ORA part of the Spacewalk instructions and proceeded with the 'Client setup on 64bit platform' and 'Configuring sqlplus' sections.
For the latter I created a bash script which I have made available in the oracle user and my own user's home directories:
cat > configure_oracle_10g_xe.sh
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
ORACLE_SID=XE
export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I did this as I intend to install other Oracle databases, e.g. 11gR2, on this box later so I didn't want to put the above in .bashrc.
Having done the above you should be able to log into the database using sqlplus and the XE setup is complete.
The upgrade of Apex 2.2 to Apex 3.2.1 was fairly painless so I won't go into much detail about it - just follow the instructions provided by Oracle.
The only issue I had was right at the end of the process and is documented and answered in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=958611&tstart=0].
That's it - I hope somebody will find this useful.

On Oracle Metalink site, there are many documents which says that Oracle 32 bit software works on 32 bits OS and 64 bits software works on 64 bits OS. Official support is only in those combination....
So there is no good way to help you in your case-XE is 32 bit application with hard codded compiled libraries which most of them would not work on 64 bit OS.
