Installing 11gR2 (linux.zseries64) on oracle linux 5 guest system failed

Dear experts,
I decided to post a detailed thread since it seems my last thread is totally forgotten. Hopefully, this thread could clarify my problem of installing oracle database 11.2.0.2 in oracle linux guest system in windows 7 host system. Sorry about that.
I installed oracle linux 5 update 6 x86_64 bits guest system in my windows 7 host using oracle virtualbox 4.2.12 so that I can install oracle database 11.2.0.2 (linux.zseries64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip, linux.zseries64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip). The oracle database I downloaded has some functions which are not available in 11.2.0.1. These two disks are extracted in a shared folder.
I followed the instructions in a guide to run the installation:
# yum install oracle-validated
It succeeded. and, I used uname -a to return this additional information:
"Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-400.26.2.el5uek #1"
Then I set these below:
SELINUX=permissive
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01
xhost + 127.0.0.1
and, added something in .bash_profile:
# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=127.0.0.1; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_UNQNAME=DB11G; export ORACLE_UNQNAME
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=DB11G; export ORACLE_SID
PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH
Then, I set DISPLAY environment in terminal:
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
Finally, I logged into the guest system as a user, not root, to run the installation. However, I got the frustrating error message:
[hsl@localhost database]$ ./runInstaller
./runInstaller: line 254: /media/sf_My_Share/Oracle/database/install/.oui: cannot execute binary file
Can anybody please give some advices to fix the problem. The installation is very important to me. Thanks a lot in advance.

Server installation does not install Pro*Cobol. You need to install client too to get Pro*Cobol
To get Pro*Cobol working you also need a cobol compiler.

10G Database install on Linux 64bit File system Vs. Automatic Storage

Hi,
I'm installing Oracle 10G on a Dell 2950 server with an Intel 64 bit processor. The operating system is Red Hat Linux 4. It has a hardware RAID.
I've downloaded the Install Guide but I have a question about installing.
I'm confused about the File system vs. Automatic Storage management option. I will be installing on the local system, I will not be using a NAS or SAN.
Under Database Storage Options, the guide says that "Oracle recommends that the file system you choose be separate from the file systems used by the operating system or the Oracle software.".
1. Do I need to do that since I'm already using hardware RAID??
2. Which way is recommended / what do most people do: File system or Automatic Storage managment??
3. For Automatic Storage Management I read that I'd have to create an ASM Disk group that can consist of "a multiple disk device such as a RAID storage array or logical volume. However, in most cases disk groups consist of one or more individual physical disks". Do I need to reconfigure my partitions ??
I just need some input on what I should do since this is my first time installing Oracle on Linux.
Thank you.

Besides documentation there's a step-by-step guide :

Many questions should be answered here.

Resize Windows XP to install Arch Linux

Me again! Hi! Well my Dad finally gave me permission to install Arch on our computer (hes a bit paranoid..) But I need some help.. I boot archlive and when I go into Cdisk to setup the partitions, Windows Controls the ENTIRE partition on the Hard drive.. How can I resize it so I can install Arch Linux onto the system?

If you're not careful, it's very easy to lose data from Windows partitions due to fragmentation.
Not to discourage or anything. Just be careful.

Linux Cluster File System partitions for 10g RAC

Hi Friends,
I planned to install 2 Node Oracle 10g RAC on RHEL and I planned to use Linux File system itself for OCR,Voting Disk and datafiles (no OCFS2/RAW/ASM)
I am having SAN storage.
I would like to know how do i create shared/cluster partitions for OCR,Voting Disk and Datafiles (common storage on SAN).
Do i need to install any Linux cluster file system for creating these shared partitions (as we have sun cluster in solaris)?
If so let me know what versions are supported and provide the necessary Note / Link
Regards,
DB

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.
Sorry

Problems Installing Designer 6.0 over Oracle 8i (Linux SUSE 8.0)

I have problems installing Designer 6.0 over Oracle 8i (Linux SUSE 8.0). When I try to create the repository the installation hang up. I try over Oracle 8i (WIndows 2000) and the problems remain.
Please any body can help?
Is it possible to install Designer 6i and generate forms 6.0 (I mean for using Developer 6.0 (NOT 6i))?
Best regards,
JAGC

Marcel,
I had the same problem. Oracle gives as an answer that Designer 6.0 is not supported against 8.1.7. In the specified package a statement is issued which is a problem for 8.1.7. I changed that package and now it works fine.
Comment as below and replace with the delete statement, then it compiles fines.
I don't know if any problem can occur after that, but a Migration from a 1.3.2 repository to 6i works fine through this repository. Hope this helps.
Kind Regards

Having issues with Oracle install on Linux

Can Oracle 9.2.0.1.0i for linux run on RedHat Linux 8.0 personal edition or does it need to be installed on Advanced server version of linux?
When I try I get many errors in the linking stage for example:
Error in invoking target ntcontab.o of make file
/home/admin/OraHome1/network/lib/ins_net_client.mk
Also it locks up in the configuration tools forcing one to abort the install.
Is there an Linux only version to the install guide for Oracle? I am rather new to Linux (4 days working with it) and this install is driving me crazy !!!
Please Help :-)

Craig,
Yes Oracle can be installed on Linux other than Advanced Server.
The link problem you are experiencing is a well documented problem with a solution. Look back to previously messages on this forum to find the easy solution for that.
I did not experience the link problem but I did experience the "assistants cannot find JRE" problem whihc you are also experiencing. Look back to my message in this forum. It is back about 3 weeks. I has a complete solution for you, too detailed to re-write here. But the answer is there, I believe.

Or is Xeon only for windows?
Thank you in advance

Hello Jan,
All supported platforms for IBM hardware can be found at the location SAP on Linux and this points to SAP note 171380.
You can contact IBM for older Blade / xSeries/ Netfinity models not listed under the above URL as mentioned to confirm if supported for your planned OS install.
Information about supported combinations and install procedure can be found at the following sources:
SAP on Linux -> Supported Linux kernels & Supported Linux distributions.
SAP note 407314 - Released operating systems SAP R/3 kernel 6.x ORACLE, this assumes you will be installing with Linux.

Oracle 10g install on Linux ES4 on VM Player - Help Reqd

When I run dbca with the silent install I get the message
"waiting for m_bReaderStarted to be true" - which it never is.
So it isn't making a connection I suspect.
The listenser also won't start.
10g is installed on linux es4 running on VM Player.
I think the problem may be to do with when I start dbca (or the listener) it doesn't connect.
In /etc/hosts I have
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
and in the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files i have the 'HOST = localhost.localdomain' (with post = 1521)
Is /etc/hosts and the ora files set correctly ?

user9051153 wrote:
I installed RH ES4 , then installed the oracle 10g base software on it.
Can I do it this way ?Yes, but so far you've not said much other than "it doesn't work", which doesn't give anyone anything to go on. You said specifically that the listener doesn't start, but if it doesn't start there will be error messages on the screen when you issue 'lsnrctl start' and in the listener log. Those error messages would be a good place to start.
