Installation problem (swap space)

hello there ,
I have such problem when i am trying to install (oracle 10g release2-forms developer)
that when the installer begins to check the requirements to install the product it give passed for all the requirements except one failed, it's (swap space) ,the installer give me the following message : swap space 744 required 1533 << Fail.
my question is what is swap space? and how can i fix it? can it be cuased by avirus?
and when i am trying to install (release1 oracle 10g form developer) it passed the requirements but after 80% of intallation of the first CD it abort's the installation and give me the message: abnormal event has accourd please support the following files to oracle c:\Program Files\oracle\inventory\out
c:\Program Files\oracle\inventory\log
c:\Program Files\oracle\inventory\install
what is my computer problem? please heeeeeeeeeeeeelp .
thank's for all.

It has to do with the virtual memory settings, those can be verified at the system advanced properties. Make sure you have declared enough space, at least the minimum required by the Oracle Universal Installer.
On the other hand, you were prompted for a file where the install log is recorded, please verify the contents of this file, further issues may have to be solved.

  • Oracle Developer Suite 10g - Windows 7 - swap space problem

    Hi brothers and sisters,
    Hope all you are fine. I am facing swap space problem while installing Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows 7 . I have downloaded and installed Oracle Database 11g Express Edition successfully and it is working properly. Now, I have downloaded two files
    a. ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1,
    b. ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2
    to install Oracle Developer Suite 10g using Windows 7 Ultimate. The Oracle Universal Installer have passed the following issues:
    a. Operating system version,
    b. Monitor
    But while checking swap space, it gives a message, "0 MB available, 1535 MB required", Failed. I have 2 GB RAM installed and system managed paging file space which is currently allocated to 2038 MB in my system .
    Please solve me the problem.

  • Swap space problem on Windows XP

    I'm trying to install BI Publisher on Windows XP from a zip file downloaded last week (version 10.1.3.3.2). However after starting setup.exe in the install directory I get the message that my swap space = 0 Mb while 500 Mb is required. After this the installation procedure quits.
    I haven't got a clue as what the installer is referring to (swap on windows?) but I have plenty of room om my two (logical) disks, no spaces in the directory name from which I start the installer (D:\download\bipublisher\Windows\OBI\install) and about 1.5 Gb of memory free.
    Any hints what to do would be appreciated.

    Hi Mjb001,
    In computer operating systems that have their main memory divided into pages, paging (sometimes called swapping) is a transfer of pages between main memory and an auxiliary store, such as hard disk drive.[1] Paging is an important part of virtual memory implementation in most contemporary general-purpose operating systems, allowing them to easily use disk storage for data that does not fit into physical RAM. Paging is usually implemented as a task built into the kernel of the operating system.
    Windows 3.x creates a hidden file named 386SPART.PAR or WIN386.SWP for use as a swap file. It is generally found in the root directory, but it may appear elsewhere (typically in the WINDOWS directory). Its size depends on how much swap space the system has (a setting selected by the user under Control Panel → Enhanced under "Virtual Memory"). Please check this file.

    Hello,
    Thanks for your reply.
    But I am not clear about your findings as we have around 64GB physical RAM in my machine.
    My question is that if we mount 20GB swap partition, then how we can see this is around less than 2 GB in df -h command.
    And even in swap -s command, this is showing same problem.
    What might be reason behind this????
    //PalashWell no-one else has anwered ... so its back to me.....
    Hmmm ... i would use the word observations rather than findings .... I am not on an old root explotation expedition all over our server .. merely observing on the morsels you show me ....
    Please be aware I may not be totally technically correct or be using right terminology on what follows so I welcome corrections ....
    Your machine has 64GB Memory, and a 20 GB swap file, therefore has the ability up to support 84GB total (Virtual) Memory ofr it's processes/buffers.
    The reason little swap is free (let us say 2GB ... thoug it may be 600m) is theat processes/buffers have a virutal memory requirement of 84GB-2GB = 82Gb.
    ... So rather than wondering about how come 2GB is left, start thinking about ow 82GB is being used.
    ...... Particularly with databases oracle RDBMS; mysql etc a big influencing factor can be how much memory is allocated its memory structures.
    .......... And a DBA may set these extremely high (memory_max / innodb-buffer-pool-size etc etc).
    ps -ef will show the (virtual) 'size' for individual processes
    prstat -a may help show what is going on (but may double account some things):
    ipcs -a would show the allocation for the oracle RDBMS memory_area,
    echo ::memstat | mdb -k ### may help ... but i have seen accounts of it taking ages to run.
    I'd also check kstat zfs ... but your not using zfs so no need to bother.
    .... You may need to show some evidence of how your applications are consuming virutal memory for someone to help you futher ... but if you do htis who may answer your own quesiton.

  • Problem on Creating a Swapfile for adding swap space

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5.6. At this time, the Linux swap space is 0 KB by using the command:
    [root@rac1 /]# grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo
    I need 150MB swap space to install Oracle Database. I create the swap space using the following commands:
    Step 1:
    [root@rac1 /]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count15360 hit enter
    Output: 153600 to records in
    153600 to records out
    157286400 bytes(157MB) copied, 3.3835 seconds, 46.5MB/s.
    Step 2:
    [root@rac1 /]# mkswap /swapfile hit enter
    Output: Command not found.
    Step 3:
    [root@rac1 /]# swapon /swapfile hit enter
    Output: Command not found.
    Step 4:
    [root@rac1 etc]#vi fstab
    Add this line into the file: /swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
    Save and close the file fstab.
    Step 5:
    Reboot Oracle Linux 5.6 and run this command:
    [root@rac1 /]# grep SwapTotal /pro/meminfo
    Output: SwapTotal: 0 KB
    As you see above, swap space is not added. I think the problem is that the commands "mkswap /swapfile" and "swapon /swapfile" are not executed.
    My question is : Do any folk understand how to add the swap space successfully ?

    When you execute a program, the command shell will walk through the locations specified by $PATH environment variable in order to find it. The "./" path is the current working directory and should not be in the $PATH environment to make sure applications are run only from locations defined by $PATH and not the current working directory. You can bypass this behavior iif you specify the full absolute path to the program at the command prompt, e.g. cd /sbin, ./mkswap or /sbin/mkswap. Other programs and administration tasks will use Linux utilities located in /sbin without specifying the full path and will not work if /sbin is not part of your PATH environment.
    You may have seriously screwed up your system because your root account contains /home/ora11g/bin, which is normally defined by .bash_profile located in the user account's home directory. Before analyzing your login scripts, I suggest you post the output of the following command:
    cat /etc/passwd

  • Swap Space Query for Oracle 11.1.0.6 installation - why so much?

    In process of installing 11.1.0.6 DB on RHE Ver 4 with 8GB of RAM. The installation notes state that for platforms of between 2-8GB of RAM - the swap file should be set to the same as the RAM. Is it not the case that the more RAM you have, the less swap space that should be needed since Oracle has more memory to work with. With the 11.1.0.6 installation for platforms of between 2 and 8GB, it appears that the bigger the RAM there is available the more swap space is required - Why is this the case?
    What are the implications of using say a 2GB swap file with the 8GB or RAM I have available?
    Thanks

    I was confident that the docs were correct - I guess I was looking to understand why the more RAM you had available up to 8GB, the more swap space that was required - basically to understand the underlying logic of this setup?

    swap space is 16gOracle 10gR2 swap space recommendations are:
    - 1 GB - 2 GB = 1.5 times the size of RAM
    - 2 GB - 8 GB = equal to the size of RAM
    - Greater than 8GB = 0.75 times the size of RAM
    Currently we have a issue of swap space getting used up nearly 100%. The system was out of memory and can't run any applicationThat is unusual and should not be happening when you have what seems to be an excess of memory available. This could mean some kind of bug (memory leakage for example), or it could mean plain old fashion abuse of memory. Like PL/SQL code that attempts to bulk fetch a few million rows from the database with a single go.
    On checking Metalink note, it said its an unhandled Oracle exception; have to increase the swap space.Wrong IMO (unless you were not following the recommended swap size factor). If you have have a giant swap area..moving the wall a few meters away (by increasing swap) will only enable you to run faster into it - I doubt that this is the intent of that Metalink note.
    On increasing the swap space, and restarting the instance, the system was normal.
    Now why does oracle use up all the swap space and what can be the workaround to avoid this in future?Oracle only use what is needed to perform the client requests that it receives. If the client request a mountain of data to be moved/processed, Oracle will try to oblige. If that mountain topples and crushes server resources, it is not Oracle that is to blame for trying to do exactly what was requested from it.

  • Swap Space not available while installation

    I am trying to install Primavera however it gives me error that swap space available is 0MB, minimum required is 500 MB.
    I checked in virtual memory and found that 3948 MB is available as virtual memory.
    Please advise solution immediately.
    Regards

    # swapon -sThank you, but as I said, this does not work on my VPS. I get the message:
    "swapon: /proc/swaps: No such file or directory"
    # free -mThis returns the following line beginning with "Swap":
    total used free
    Swap: 10001 4525 5475
    This means I have around 5.5 GB free swap space?!
    Then does oracle maul I have 0 swap space??? (150MB is required by default in the oraparam.ini file)

  • Netweaver 2004s installation problem on Windows: Oracle 10G

    Hi Friends,
    I would like to install Netweaver 2004S(with usage types AS ABAP, AS JAVA, BI, BI JAVA, EP & DI) on a server which has Windows 2003 server OS running on it.
    The server has 6GB RAM and has 5GB of free space on C: and a free sapce  of 60GB on H: & 50GB on I: respectively.The database that is to be used is Oracle 10g.
    Do I need to install first SAP solution manger 4.0 on this or Can i proceed with Netweaver  2004 S installation???
    I am installing a central system.
    First I tried installing SAP solution manger 4.0 on this system and it went successfully. Now when i am installing Netweaver 2004s on the same machine, during installation I am asked whether to "install a MCOD or create a new database for this installation".
    I chose Install MCOD and proceeded  further with Installation. But my installation is taking a lot of time while executing the service :"Creating database schema". The message which i get on status bar is " Removing schema user SAPSR3" and the status remains the same.
    Have any of you faced this problem ? Please let me know how you have proceeded further.
    Before starting the installation  one of the prerequisites " SWAP SPACE VALUES" for installation was not satisfied by my system  and even then i proceeded with the installation.
    Is it because of this SWAP space problem , my intsallation is strcuk?? or what could be the reason fo this?
    Thanks
    Diwakar

    Hello Diwakar, 
    If you are just installing NW2004s then it is not mandatory to install Solution manager.
    To increase the swap space --
    Right click my on computer ->Select Properties -> Click Advanced Tab ->Click Settings (performance) -> Select Advanced Tab -> In virtual memory -> Change
    you canIncrease swap space/page file here.
    Do not install the system as MCOD, make the seperate database.
    Do revert for further doubt.
    Best Regards,
    Sachin.

    Hi,
    it looks like, that your "shared device" you are using is not really shared.
    The second node does "create an ASM diskgroup" and create OCR and Voting disks. If this indeed would be a shared device, he should have recognized, that your disk is shared.
    So as a result your VMware configuration must be wrong, and the disk you presented as shared disk is not really shared.
    Which VMWare version did you use? It will not work correctly with the workstation or player edition, since shared disks are only really working with the server version.
    If you indeed using the server, could you paste your vm configurations?
    Furthermore I recommend using Virtual Box. There is a nice how-to:

  • SQL Developer Installation Problems

    Hi,
    We are trying to find a workable alternative to TOAD and have tried to install SQL Developer with not much success.... I think I am just about to give up but hope this last attempt to post for help can create a miracle.
    I would appreciate very much if any one knows of a comprehensive document out there that can help trouble shoot the installation problems.
    Let me give you the hardware and software versions first and then the problems.
    1) SQL Developer tried: sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213-no-jre and sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213
    2) JRE tried: JRE 1.5 and JRE 6 (C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_03)
    3) Window: XP Professional version 2002 Service pack 2
    4) Hardware: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz, 1.98 GB of RAM
    Problems:
    1) SQL Developer could not find native JDBC. I don't understand why, despite all the variables set in Oracleclient10g_basic in the registry, SQL Developer did not seem to be able to find a 10g client on a network drive. I have to install 10g client directly onto my pc (C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1) to solve this problem.
    2) SQL Developer abruptly disappeared after database login.
    I was able to connect and log into an Oralce 10g database with TNS Connect Identifier approach. There were objects (tables, views, etc) showed up briefly on the left hand side of the SQL Developer and then it just completely disappeared without even an error message or a tearful good-bye.
    The only thing I can find is this error log about EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. After hours searching through OTN for possible mentioning of this error with SQL Developer, I found nothing so far.
    Why is it so difficult to install SQL Developer? Are there a set of un-spoken pre-requisites that has to be satisfied before it can be installed properly? If so, what are they? Path system variable? Registry? Anything else?
    Here's the complete EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error log:
    # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
    # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x2ca5683c, pid=952, tid=2576

    Is this a java problem? SQL Developer problem? Or something else?
    Thanks in advance,

    The problem you are seeing (the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) is a result of a version mismatch between the JDBC driver being used by SQL Developer and the Oracle client that is found on the path.
    This issue only occurs when trying to use the OCI version of the JDBC driver. The simplest fix is to switch to using the basic connection type and thus using the thin (all Java) JDBC driver. As no Oracle client is required in this case, the version mismatch won't be an issue.
    However, the connection approach you are using should work, and if you wish to try to sort out the problems there, we should be able to further diagnose the underlying cause of the version mismatch.
    To do this, I would need to see what SQL Developer thinks are the potential Oracle client installs, as well as which install it ends up picking. Can you copy/paste the output in the Log Window (Logging Page) that is present after SQL Developer starts (but before you attempt to connect to any database)? There should be a whole series of entries like 'Checking for ORACLE_HOME environment variable' and 'Checking JDBC driver at <some path>'
    These log entries are output by SQL Developer as it tries to sort out the various bits of information about Oracle client installs and thus give a peek at the selection logic being used.
    Oh, and also - the value of your PATH variable would be useful as well. It may be that there is an Oracle client install on the PATH that supersedes the install SQL Developer is finding via the registry or ORACLE_HOME variable.
