Issue:Oracle 8.1.6 running on solaris 9

Hi,
We are planning to upgrade OS version to 9 and DB Version from 8.1.6 to 10.2.0.2 on our Production Box using exp / imp method. In this effort, we will be doing OS upgrade first and will be doing db upgrade after a couple of days.
Are there any issues if the Database version 8.1.6 running on Solaris 9.
Thanx,
KarthicK

Possibly that it can't be done so you need to check that out. My recollection was that you had to be at 8.1.7.4.
Personally I'd install the o/s on a different server, create a nice clean database, and then move the data. Servers are inexpensive and doing this you will likely inherit a boat load of legacy stuff that will cause many many headaches.
Also do not expect any code written last millenium for 8.1.6 to perform well. You should do this first on a test box, several times, and then use it to tune your code.
If you are planning to do this, no testing, on your production box make sure you have a pillow and blanket to bring into work. Oh and a really solid cold backup of the entire system that you have proven will work. You'll need that too.

  • Does WLS 4.5.1 Run on Solaris 2.7 (x86) ???

    All--
    Does WLS 4.5.1 run on Solaris 2.7 (x86) or does it not? The system in
    question was running Solaris 2.6 (x86) and WLS 4.5.1 ran quite happily
    on that. What is the snag with 2.7? I am using JDK 1.1.7 (and have
    alternated w/ JDK 1.2.1).
    Mainly, WLS keeps looking for (and not finding) 'weblogicunix1' shared
    library file. I have nativeIO disabled but the server insists on this
    behaviour.
    Further, I have seen news postings regarding issues with servers that
    are running on Solaris 2.7 (x86) so it is obvious that it does indeed
    run. What is the trick to getting it working? It seems to trip up when
    attempting to bind to the assigned ports.
    Any tips/advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
    TIA
    Ben

    We have not certified on X86 Solaris, there is no business case for it.
    Having said that I think this library should only load if you are running
    as a priv user and try to switch to nobody status. This library does not
    exist for x86.

    Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if some bit of information is missing.

    In plain English (as I understand this): Oracle posted drivers that we won't be able to use until 8.1.6 comes out. The readme does indeed say, "JDBC OCI Driver 8.1.6: Client-side JDBC for use on a machine where OCI 8.1.6 is installed." Plus, the FAQ states, "There is no 8.1.6SDK JDBC-OCI driver - this will be available with 8.1.6"
    That FAQ was just updated (it is the top item on today's Technet front page).
    But the FAQ is erroneous: the driver exists and is available: from an item on the technet front page (from Jan 17th).
    We don't have Oracle 8.1.6 here and it doesn't appear to be available yet.
    I imagine that this driver was made available for the beta testers out there needing it and also for the rest of us to be able to check ahead if we can still compile.
    I do wish they would plainly say as much on that download page (or in the readme). It would have saved some trouble chasing down why this doesn't run.

  • Connect to MS-SQL Server from a Oracle 10g running under Solaris

    Hi,
    I have the following problem. I want to access a MS-SQL server from an Oracle database (10g Enterprise licence) that is running on Solaris.
    After googling a while, the following questions arise:
    - Is it correct that the Oracle Transparant Gateway for the SQL Server is not available on Solaris platforms (but only on Windows)?
    - Is it right, that the second possibility to solve this problem is to use an SQL-Server odbc driver for Solaris and access the SQL-Server over ODBC? And: Is this feature included in the Enterprise licence?
    - If yes, which driver is good and cheap ;-)?
    - Is there any other way to solve this problem?
    Thanks
    Aron

    I believe the Transparenet Gateway for SQL Server is available on Solaris. The problem is that you need a Unix based ODBC driver which you will also need to pay for.
    We had this same problem and decided to run a windows based Heterogeneous Services gateway and routed through it instead of using the SQL Server transparent gateway. The Heterogenous severives gateway is NOT an add on product (as is Transparent Gateway). The drawback would be performance as I would expect the native MS SQL transparent gateway to perform better, but in our case it worked acceptably.

    It is because of UNIX shell. I also faced this error during installation.
    First check your shell by the following command.
    $ echo $SHELL
    Then select the below.
    For csh shell
    $ setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
    $ export DISPLAY
    For sh,ksh and bash
    $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
    $ export DISPLAY
    After you do this check the value of DISPLAY variable.
    $ echo $DISPLAY
    If the DISPLAY variable is set then run ./runInstaller.
    One advice: Keep a complete log of your terminal session. This will help you in future :)

  • Oracle 11g R2 on HP and Solaris

    Hello All,
    In the Last Week i was installing Oracle 11R2 on two HP servers and one Solaris server. i faced common issues on the three servers and i posted threads about some of these issues.
    But i want to summarize it so i know the solution of each one in order not to face it again.
    Below is the info
    I have 3 servers, two of them are HP where Oracle 10g is installed and one Solaris server where i am doing the Oracle installation for the first time.
    On the 3 servers and when i was installing Oracle 11g R2 the installation failed at the end when it was trying to create the db with this error: the file Seed_Database.dfb containing the datafiles information is missing.
    knowing that i download it Oracle 11g R2 from the Oracle website for the three server. Why this file is always missed ? and even now and after i created a custom database manually (Not during the installation) i can't create a "general purpose db" through dbca because it needs this template file.
    while creating the database on the 3 servers and on step 4 of 12 of the tab related to OEM is disabled. and the emctl is not automatically configured after the creation of the db. why this tab is always disabled on step 4 of 12?
    Regards.

  • Oracle 8.1.5 Client/WLS/Solaris x86

    has anyone been able to get Oracle's client 8.1.5 running on Solaris x86 in conjunction with WLS to talk to back-end Oracle? Any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks.

    This will not work. We have not built the native libraries to work with

    I suggest trying the platform independent type 4 JDBC driver available for

    Go to http://www.oracle.com and select the "Download" option.
    From the resulting page, use the "Select Utility or Driver" dropdown to

    I didnt get this kind of prob., it was an abarasing setuation in front of the customer as he has sybase database in the same server. i downloaded these files from the net (....tar.Z) & unzipped using winzip then copied those folders in to solaris using cuteftp in (ascii mode..)

    Our 8.1.6 database is currently running on Sun Sparc - Solaris 2.7. We want ?to upgrade to Solaris 2.8. Will 8.1.6 database run on Solaris 2.8?
    Thanks Yes, oracle 8i will run under solaris 8 (2.8).

    My questions are:
    1. Application running in solaris 9 container generating core files. what to do???
    2. My prstat -Z for zone shows almost 95% percent cpu usage. what to do???
    3. Kindly can share how to move solaris 9 into solaris 10 containers ??

    Based on the new questions for the same post you wrote in the other communities, some posts are removed as duplicate, here is the answer :
    For the point #3, please look on table 17-1 in the following URL :
    Zone Components - System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Oracle Solaris Zones
    You can also customize your container /etc/system file but it cannot exceeds the global zone and the zone configuration value.
    For the other point, #2, this can be complicated without a complete image of what the complete system do.
    Try fist to check if you have not a busy process in your zone, then you can check if a bottleneck exists in the I/O side. You use maybe wrong parameters, a wrong configuration or your system configuration is insufficient in term of resources.
    What I can see in the outputs that you provided is that the S9 zone uses the half of the swap space. This can impact your zone performance and I/O activity, and can have in this case a side effect on some processes. Check why your zone uses the swap and how you can remedy this.
