Linux clustering for 8i standard edition

Does Linux do clustering or fail-over for Oracle 8i STANDARD edition ?
I know for 8i ENTERPRISE edition, Oracle handles the clustering with the Parallel option. As well, for 8i Standard Edition, Oracle offers 'fail-safe' for the NT platform but not for LINUX.
If anyone knows, please advise. TIA.

There is no Paraller Server for Linux now.
But there is possibilities for HA
cluster :)
For instance, http://oss.sgi.com/failsafe
(or be somethig like this), www.missioncriticallinux.com
Then, there is several non open source
software. www.steeleye.com,
if I rememember.
As I know Oracle plan Parallel server for Linux.

  • OWM is available for Oracle Standard Edition

    Hi there,
    I'd like to know if I can use Workspace Manager
    buying just the Oracle Standard Edition. In case
    OWM is not available for the standard edition,
    which separate packages do I need to buy to be
    able to use with Oracle Spatial?
    Regards,
    Karina

    Karina
    Yes, OWM is included with the standard edition of the database.

  • Licence for Development Oracle standard edition

    Hi,
    I am having named user licence for the standard edition Oracle database.
    Can I create multiple instances for the same machine and redstribute my licences internally?
    Can we run multiple versions of oracle on same machine under one license ?

    WARNING: None of this internet advice has any legal standing and you would be absolutely recommended to confirm with your local Oracle sales representative.
    Can I create multiple instances for the same machine and redstribute my licences internally?Yes, as long as you have enough named user licenses to cover all of the users who will be connecting to all those instances
    Can we run multiple versions of oracle on same machine under one license ?Yes, as long as you have enough named user licenses to cover all of the users who will be connecting to all those instances of different versions
    If you have a large number of users (say > 50) it may be cheaper to purchase a processor license for the server. You will need to check this with your local Oracle sales representative as processor licensing has its own licensing metrics e.g. O/S platform and CPU.
    Note that what my sales rep says is ok may not be what your sales rep says is ok, so get confirmation in writing for reference.

  • OBI11g also available for Standard Edition?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if the new version of Oracle Business Intelligence 11g will be also available for the Standard Edition or if clients need to migrate to the Enterprise Edition to move to the 11g version.
    Thank you in advance!
    Regards,
    Ruben
    Edited by: ruben on 27-ago-2010 9:38

    Oracle licensing questions should be directed to, and answered by, Oracle Corp. Suffice to say that there does not appear to be an OBISE1 for 11g at this time.

  • HLB for Lync Server 2013 Standard Edition

    Hi Guys,
    I am planning to add an additional new Lync Central site with paired Lync Server 2013 standard edition in Primary and DR data centers. with 1 or 2 OWAS Servers in each DCs. No Edge
    server in this new Lync central site as we already have an Edge pool in another central site for federation. Only IM & P and Conferencing, no External Access, Mobility and EV.
    My question is, for LS2013 Standard edition paired pools in the new Lync Central site. should I use HLB or DNS LB should be ok? as technically we do not have any HA here only DR.
    Any advantage using HLB over DNS LB in LS2013 Standard edition?
    Thanks for your help.
    Cheer....

    You typically wouldn't need HLB with standard edition at all.  What were you planning to accomplish?

  • Link to download Sql Server 2012 "Standard Edition"

    We have purchased Sql Server 2012 “Standard” edition license. Looking for the link to download of installation software for 2012 “Standard” edition. Have tried
    a lot but could only found - the “enterprise” evaluation copy.
    Looking for urgent help on this. Thanks.

    Thanks for the update.
    1. Would like to check if it is possible to download Sql Server 2012 “Standard" Edition straight away rather than doing a two step install?
    2. Assuming we do a two step install - during upgrade once we specify the license key, would it ask whether we need to change edition to standard/ enterprise or it automatically determines the edition based on the value of the license key?
    Hi,
    1.Do you have MSDN subscription ? You can download from MS link directly if you have one. Please ask the vendor who provided you with License he would be best person to call.
    2. On license page you just have to enter license key that's it , after that SQL Server just knows what it has to do. It does not asks you anything about license it just proceeds
    Please mark this reply as answer if it solved your issue or vote as helpful if it helped so that other forum members can benefit from it

  • Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 1 download?

    Hi,
    Apologies in advance if this is a daft question but could someone point me in the direction of the download link for Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 1 11G for Windows 64bit?
    The white paper below dated 2010 eludes to there being an 11g version of this software but the download site only has 10g:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obi-se1-11g-wp-187262.pdf
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/101321biseone-095993.html
    I downloaded the Enterprise edition 11g in the vain hope that the installer would have an option for installing standard edition 1, which it didn't.
    This is a stupid problem to have but a problem nonetheless.
    All help gratefully received.
    David.

    Am I correct in saying that the Simple Install is Standard Edition 1? It doesn't say that anywhere (unless I'm missing it).Simple install is like a standard installation, less input is required from you.
    Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition 10g docs/downloads can be found at:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-standard-edition/downloads/index.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-standard-edition/overview/index.html
    From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/obi-se1-11g-wp-187262.pdf you can see the following:
    The 10g version of BI SE One included a special installer and documentation tailored to the specific components that were available in 10g. For the 11g version of BI products, Oracle does not plan to release a special installer for BI SE One.
    Thanks,

  • WLDF in WebLogic 12.1.1 - Is it part of Standard Edition (without additional cost)?

    I know Mission Control is not allowed in production for WebLogic Standard Edition without additional licensing costs.  How about WLDF? 
    I haven't been able to find any documentation to state one way or the other and I don't want to assume since it took me quite a while to understand the JRMC licensing back in WL10 and WL11 versions.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    http://www.oracle.com/us/products/middleware/application-server/oracle-weblogic-server-ds-1391360.pdf
    "The WebLogic Management Framework includes the administration
    server, its communication with managed servers, lifecycle
    management via the Node Manager, and the WebLogic
    Administration Console. The console provides the starting point for
    essential operations, administration, automation and management. It
    enables access to all the functions of Oracle WebLogic Server and
    includes built-in intelligence to help prevent human configuration
    errors. The WebLogic Scripting Tool enables command-line and
    scriptable control over Oracle WebLogic Server. The WebLogic
    Diagnostic Framework enables users to instrument applications for
    monitoring and diagnostic purposes."
    According to this (the way I read it) WLDF belongs to the WebLogic Management Framework, which is part of the standard edition (so from this you would assume no additional costs are needed when using WLDF).

  • I want to try out the Standard edition of Acrobat XI. What do I do?

    I want to try out the Standard edition of Acrobat before purchasing to see if it is right for my company, but the only available trial is for the Pro edition. I don't want to commit to purchasing the Standard edition before trying out that specific edition, since it will have less features than the Pro edition. I want to avoid a scenario where I pay for the Standard edition, find out it doesn't have the features I need, and then pay again for the Pro edition. Advice, anyone?

    Also wondering if, when I downloaded the Standard edition, there would be the option to upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro while only having to pay the difference between the two prices, rather than paying the full price after having already purchased the Standard edition? Can anyone confirm whether this would be a possibility?

  • How do I download standard edition one 10g for linux?

    I want to evaluate standard edition one, but I can't find where to download it. All I can find is standard edition. I am a OPN member.

    Is that means i can install SE on my 2 CPU server and let Oracle Know that they have to treat this as SE1?
    Oooo, i will be saving lot of $$$ with this if its true.

  • Is Standard Edition free for development purpose

    Hello,
    I am using Oracle 10g express edition on a 32-bit Redhat Enterprise Linux 4. My test database have come upto 2gb and after that the database stopped working. I have been told to change to 64-bit OS through forums because of the 2gb file size limitation for 32-bit OS. When I checked the Oracle downoad site, there is no 32-bit Oracle express edition 10g. There is a 64-bit Oracle standard edition. Is Oracle 10g Standard Edition free for development purposes? What about Oracle 11g Standard edition?

    All Oracle software, though, is available for download from OTN with a license that allows you to prototype your application. Once the application is beyond the prototype phase, you'd need to purchase an appropriate license for your development environment, but you may just be looking at prototyping...
    As well, note that the database size and RAM restrictions in the express edition would not be expected to change if Oracle ever released a 64-bit version. The whole point of those restrictions is to ensure that the free express edition doesn't cannibalize sales of the standard edition databases.

  • Clustering SQL Standard edition on three nodes as Active/Active/Passive

    Is the limit of Standard Edition clustering of SQL a licensing limit or a technical limit?
    We have an Active/Active cluster (2 nodes, multiple SQL "resource group" installations), and we want to add a third node in to become the passive node for all SQL instances.
    As far as I understand it, we simply configure the each SQL server in the cluster to have only two "possible owners" with a "preferred owner" of an Active node. So, for SQL server "VServSQL1" it could run on Node1 or Node3(passive), with Node1 as preferred
    - then for the SQL server "VServSQL2" we could set it to run on Node2 or Node3 and un-check Node1.
    Can anyone confirm if this will work? What is the limitation with mixing the active nodes within a Windows Failover cluster?

     Hello ,
    Yes we can have SQL Server standard SQLInstance1 on 
    NODE1 and NODE2. Standard SQLInstance2 on NODE 3 and either of NODE2 or NODE1.
    Thank You
