Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?

Dear,
Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux Kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?
If supported, please point to the download link.
We require this in order to plan for the OEL 5.5 kernel upgrade to ULK and to connect SUN SAN storage array 6180.
Thanks,
...basha

From what I can gather you will need to compile the driver from source in order to use the RDAC driver with the UEK kernel. Chances are that it won't compile properly under the UEK kernel, which is more up to date than the RHEL kernel.
You will have to start the system from the supplied original RHEL kernel in order to use the binary IBM RDAC driver distribution. The following is available: http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds4000.aspx and http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds3000.aspx
You may however be able to use Multipath, which is build in also in the UEK kernel. To get the current supported configurations for IBM System Storage it is best to use the interoperability matrices located at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/product/interop.html. You can use the link to the "System Storage Interoperation Center (SSIC)" to query your specific configuration (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/ssic/interoperability.wss)

Upgrading Oracle Linux with Oracle Unbreakable Linux Kernel

Hi all.
I'd like to upgrade an Oracle Linux OS with unbreakable linux kernel.
Current version is :
[oracle@union ~]$ uname -r
2.6.18-164.el5PAE
Which steps needs to be performed?.
I know i must be at 2.6.32. Also Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is available for x86-64 servers.
Q: How do i know if my distro is x86 or x86-64?
Regards, Luis ...!

Hi Dude... what's a pae kernel?

Do i need to download a 64bit distro?.

Oracle 10g RAC on Oracle Unbreakable Linux 4, on 3 HP-DL380 Install Instruc

I am searching for installation assistance (ie install guide) for Setting up an OUL4 RAC Cluster, I have found instructions using a VMserver but am interested in using 3 HP-DL380 machines. Is there a guide detailing such an installation or should I attempt to utilize the VMserver install guide, ignoring the VM references in support of 3 specific machines?
Thank You for any assistance you can provide
NickG

I guess I need to specify that I will be responsible only for the "OS" Side of management and installation of the system. Do I follow the standard installation, of a standard download of Oracle Unbreakable Linux on each of the 3 machines, and then continue with RAC cluster installation as explained in the above link?
Thanks

How can i remove jdk1.4 install in oracle unbreakable linux.

I am able to comple java program in oracle unbreakable linux but not able to run program.this is simple hello world program there is no syntax problem .I am getting error:
Exception in thread Main java.lang.class format error:unrecognised class file version and i also checked :=> #javac -version
#jdk1.6_20
#java -version
#jadk1.4 (gnu support java)
How can i unstall jdk1.4 gnu jdk/bin path and jdk 1.4 gnu java from with my system.
Regards
Prashansh Kumar

From what I understand, the problem is that your classes are compiled for a later version of Java. I'm not sure at this point that uninstalling Java 1.4 is the right solution - it may break important system functions.
I would rather try another approach first:
# alternatives --config java
-> select the java version you want as default.If you want to install java 1.6 you can try the following:
# yum install java-1.6*
or just the runtime package
# yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
For example:
# java -version
java version "1.4.2"
# yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
# alternatives --config java
There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.
Selection    Command
+ 1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java
* 2           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 2
# java -version
java version "1.6.0"

OCS on Oracle "UnBreakable" Linux?

Hi,
Is it possible to run OCS on Oracle "UnBreakable" Linux?
Any information concerning this issue would be highly appreciated
Thanks

We have installed OCS 10.1.2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux AS release 4 without any trouble.
Oracle Enterprise Linux is the Linux distribution, which is a copy from Redhat Enterprise Linux without the copyrighted material.
Oracle Unbreakable Linux is the support program that Oracle provides for this OS.
With an OCS CSI, TAR can be opened concerning OCS problem on Enterprise Linux, which is a supported distribution for OCS install.
TAR related to Enterprise Linux operating system problems cannot be opened without subscribing to the Unbreakable Linux support.

Is anyone running SAP on Oracle Unbreakable Linux

Hi all
Is there any one out there using Oracle Unbreakable Linux as the operating system for any SAP Installations (ECC/CRM/BI etc) ?
If yes, can you share your experience in terms of system stability, compatability, support pack issues ?
Thanks in advance
Nagesh

There's even a note for it:
Note 997990 - Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Unbreakable Linux
Since it's based on Redhat it should work, however, if there are SAP specific issues with tools and versions it may be difficult to get support, same as with CentOS - which is a "recompiled Redhat Enterprise Linux" - same code as normal $$$ Redhat Advanced Server with a different logo.
For to-become-productive systems I'd always use a supported operating system, however, I'm sure a SAP system will run on unbreakable Linux too as well as on other distributions; the statement of not supporting it may also be a political one, don't forget that Oracle and SAP are the biggest competitors!

I see in this forum some solutions but none works for me (I´m installing Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 x64) to solve this problem I put libXp lib but the problem is the same.
The library is installed:
[root@SRVAXILAB072 oracle]# ll /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 16 18:10 /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6 -> libXp.so.6.2.0
[root@SRVAXILAB072 oracle]#
But I think the installation process are searching in /usr/lib but I didn´t have the library in 32b I tried to copy to /usr/lib and another crazy ideas but didn’t work.
I read alot of post and guides for installation process but I didn´t see nothing to install Oracle in Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5
Some ideas??
If not..... I will try with Oracle Unbreakable linux 4 :(
Thanks
Best Regards

Well, I've not been in touch with installs on linux myself for a long time, but it seems you need a few 32-bit libs. Try installing libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm.

Hi,
Two methods can reach your goal as following:
1,mount the ISO and cd Enterprise/RPMS and manually install these packages one by one;
2,Use up2date packages_name install from ULN.

Error while installing 10g on oracle unbreakable linux

when my installer peforming product specific prerequiste check i got the warning

I tried to search gcc-3.2 on my linux cd but its not there
can anyone please tell me from where can i install this?
thanks

Which gcc is in your CD? List them all.
And yes, they are there. Unless someone gave you a rescue disk or stripped down live CD, in which case you need to thank the person who gave you that appropriately.
You need to search the CD/DVD and you need to learn how to install RPMs. Both can be learned by intelligent internet searches.

-- Oracle Unbreakable Linux hangs during installation --

Hi
I am trying to install the new Oracle Unbreakable Linux on a 2 CPU Intel Pentium 4 64 bits server. During the first CD installation it hangs just after you select if you want to install using the graphical mode or the character base mode (it hangs in both modes).The point where it fails is
mounting /tmp as ramfs....... done
running install...
running /sbin/loader
Has anybody experience the same behavior or do you have any suggestions?
This error does not happen when I try to install either SUSE 9 or 10 nor Red Hat 3 or 4,
so I do not think is the hardware.
Any help will be appreciated.

Ok. New update. I had rejiggered my desktop hard-drives and the DVD drive and in the process had not set the proper Master / Slave settings on the DVD drive. After I fixed that, it did start installing.
I selected the Server configuration and later selected the "Install everything" option. It failed after about 30 minutes while installing the snmp package. It said that it was a serious error due to media error or no disk space. Both of which seemed improbable because the media test resulted fine and I had 160 GB of Hard disk space !. I had to abandon ( well no choice actually ) and restart. This time I chose the Workstation configuration and just added the scientific packages. This time it installed ok, but, new problem.
I do not see ANY applications at all in the Applications drop down menu. Not even as root.
Hmmm. I would hate to start digging around in gnome. It is a distraction from what I really intend to do. To start developing applications on 10g on Linux ! Damn.
Any advise ?

How Do I Install Oracle Unbreakable Linux on My Virtual Machine

I would like to know the steps required to install Oracle Unbreakable Linux on my Virtual Machine, cos i tried to but i keep having problems when i get to selecting the destination for the installation, the prompt says i have to allow it format my hard disk wont i lose my files in the process.

When you create a virtual disk for your VMWare instance the format will only affect this disk. You can see this as it will display the size of the disk. If this is the size of the virtual disk (default = 8 GB) then go ahead. If this looks like your normal HD just stop and read the VMWare installation Guide from www.vmware.com

What is the difference between "subscribe Oracle Unbreakable Linux"?

Hello
I downloaded Oracle9i's 3 CD's and Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux (32bit).
1) What is the difference between "subscribe Oracle Unbreakable Linux" that the RPM's will install automatically and the Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux (32bit) that I downloaded?
2) Also where can I get "subscribe Oracle Unbreakable Linux" that the RPM'S install automatically?

See this thread, where you asked the same question:
How/where do you get "Subscribe Oracle Unbreakable Linux" from?

OK,
I have installed 11g on a new installation of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5. Everything seemed to go OK except the swap space was set to 2Gb and 11g wanted 3.4Gb.

Oracle Unbreakable Linux Version 5.3 64 bit

ANY assistance would be greatly appreciated?
when installing OEL 5.3 x86_64 version, had no issues with the NICs.
The system detected both eth0 and eth1.
During the installation, it provided the screen to configure eth0 and eth1.
When installing OEL 5.2 x86_64, experienced different behavior:
1. After configuring the disk partitions, it did not bring up the screen for network configuration;
It continued to time zone configuration. The remainder of the installation process completed without
Issue. I checked the installation guide. This is normal behavior if the system does not detect NICs.
Post installation, the system did not see eth0 nor eth1. I tried to manually populate
The following network files in order to bring up the NICs:
A, /etc/modprobe.conf
Added: alias eth0 tg3
Alias eth1 tg3
I used driver tg3 since this is the driver used on other linux servers on HP Blade servers.
May be different drivers.
B. /etc/sysconfig/hwconf
Added: class NETWORK
bus: PCI
driver: tg3
detached: 0
device: eth0
Rebooted with no success.
Additional Info: We are doing boot from san
OS LUN Size:: 60 GB - Raid 5
SAN configuration: We use SVC 2145 appliance. Actual storage array is IBM DS8100
Hardware: HP BL490 (blade server)
Will reinstall OEL 5.3 shortly and gather network files in order to see what driver information we need.

just as you concluded, the NIC's are just not found with OEL (and therefore RHEL) 5.2, and they are quite probably added with version 5.3.
first thing is looking into your system using lspci -v you should be able to see the devices.
next: see all NIC's the kernel sees: ifconfig -anext: insert the kernel module: modprobe tg3 next: see if the NIC's are seen by the O/S now: ifconfig -a it's possible the NIC's are not supported by an earlier version of the tg3 driver.

Is VSFTPD supported in Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Carthage?

Hi All,
I have OEL 5 (Carthage) installed on one of machine and when I tried configuring VSFTPD on it, I found that it hasn't been installed. I
confirmed this by rpm -qa | grep vsftpd which resulted in no output. So, just wanted to know is it supported or not? if yes, then from
where I can download it.

You should find it on distro CD #2. This is mine :
# cat /etc/issue

# rpm -qa | grep vsftp
