root parition, / parttion,boot, home ,swap, usr, var and any other if required.Hi 'superdba'.
Perhaps you should talk to 'super sysadmin' to get some help for the root, /, boot, home, usr, var partitions since they have nothing to do with Oracle in any way.
For Oracle, it is strongly suggested that you have 2GB swap minimum, or 2x real memory for swap up to 8GB memory, or 1x memory for swap past 16GB memory.
And for Oracle you need to decide the file system for installing the database software. But plan on 4GB for the database s/w in whatever file system you decide. (I personally recommend /opt or /u01, but the documentation has a great section on the Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) which your 'super sysadmin' should read to advise you of how to best handle that.)
And for Oracle you need to decide which file systems will hold the data files, and how big they need to be for your projected application data storage. Again your 'super sysadmin' will help with the file system, and the size information will come from your vendor or your developers.
If you have no 'super sysadmin' then you need to use that most important of skills available to any dba, including 'superdba', which is to read the manuals.

Install linux redhat for oracle 10g2

Hi Friends,
I will install linux redhat linux 5 for oracle 10g 2. How to created correct partition of linux to match oracle 10g 2.
I install linux as server style. any advice?
Thanks
JIm

Hi JIm
It is true that for us DBA the OFA is the standard by excellence. You have also the quite good document on that gives you also a lot of examples.
http://www.ss64.com/orasyntax/ofa.html
What is a style server? Do you mean as a template server?
Please note also that if you need to do more than 1 installation you can clone your binaries from your first installation. Ideally you should patch it to he latest release and then make your clone.
1. tar your current binaries under /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
2. copy the tar file on the target server under /export/home/oracle and then untar it.
3. cd to new_oracle_home/oui
4. ./runInstaller -clone -silent ORACLE_HOME="<new_oracle_home>" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="<unique_home_name>"
read more on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15660/app_cloning.htm
You can also clone your database to other targets
1 Duplicate from source to your targets
1.1 Perform a database backup including archive log
1.2 Create an Oracle password file for the auxiliary instance
1.3 Establish Oracle Net connectivity to the auxiliary instance
1.4 Create an initialization parameter file for the auxiliary instance
1.5 Start the auxiliary instance in NOMOUNT mode
1.6 Mount or open the target database
1.7 Ensure that backups and archived redo log files are available
1.8 Allocate auxiliary channels if needed
1.9 Execute the DUPLICATE script
Hope this will help you to get the templates installed.
Cheers
Hubert

Red hat Linux support for Oracle

Hi! Can some body tell me which version of Red Hat Linux is supported. I was told that Oracle supports only upto Red hat 7.1 for Oracle 8.1.7.3.
thanks

I installed 9iAS on RedHat 7.3, see my post at:
Re: SQL query report columns
I don't know about versions < 7.3, but 7.3 by default includes kde 3 :)

Linux flavors for oracle 10gR2 RAC setup

Hi,
Oracle10gR2
Which are the alternate Linux flavors (most similar to RHEL 5.5) that can be used for Oracle10gR2 RAC setup ??
Regards

Hi,
while there other Linux versions are also vertified, best is to use Oracle Linux http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/linux/index.html
This is based on RHEL (you also have a 5.5. version).

Should I use the 64 bit or 32 bit Linux distro for Oracle Service Bus

I'm going to install OSB for the first time on Oracle Linux 5.3 for development use. Does it matter whether I install OSB on the 32 bit or 64 bit version of Oracle Linux?
I've had better luck with 32 bit Linux distros in the past, but if there's a benefit to using the 64 bit distro I'll use it. My hardware has 4 GB of RAM, which I hope is enough for development use.
Thanks.
Dean

I found this post on the Ubuntu forums which indicates trouble running Workshop on ubuntu. Maybe OSB works but Workshop has problems on Ubuntu:

Hello everyone,
Here, I installed Oracle E-BS R12 on a machine (server) Linux 6 Update 4, I was able to connect to the application in the machine itself (server), by cons I can not access me remotely from Windows?
Help me configure either linux or e-BS for me the remote connection.
Thank you.
Pl identify which version of EBS - you will need to follow all of the directions in MOS Doc 761566.1

Groups in Linux needed for 'oracle' user

I have a new server running OEL6 that I plan to install EM 12C and a database using ASM.
My install user is 'oracle'. Documentation states that 'oracle' should have the primary group of 'oinstall' and a secondary group of 'dba'.
Awhile back (before things were Grid Infrastructure) we had some problems with an install and an Oracle support person told me to get rid of 'oinstall', and soley rely on 'dba'. She talked about the numerous support calls serviced by introducing both groups.
I took her advice, and most of our things are still running with 'oracle' and 'dba'.
But, we are embarking into a new world, and perhaps the 'oinstall' and 'dba' issues have been worked out, and there is a benefit to having multiple groups. We are a pretty small shop and don't have different groups doing things; we are mostly a few of us required to do it all. In that sense, less is more--more easier to support.
Are there recommendations for the 'oinstall' and 'dba' groups? Pitfalls encountered?
Sherrie

Thanks Loc.
Most of the documentation that I've read, including the note you mention, says that going forward from 11.2, oinstall should always be used. I think it's a blanket statement intended to cover all bases, and I can understand that architecture in a large group, where one group might be responsible for an install, another group for managing a database, and perhaps someone else managing storage. I'm trying to undersand how oinstall vx dba groups are used, and why oinstall is so important.
In our group, there are just a few of us, and we do it all.
We have 5 clusters wiht 28 managed databases at 11.1. All of those were installed with the primary group of dba, and a secondary ground of oinstall. They've been working fine for a few years.
We are now installing EM12C grid on a new machine, starting with grid infrastructure to get ASM installed, so that our repository database can use it.
So, on this Linux box we will have ASM, database, agent and OMS. It's a standalone box, and our primary group is oinstall.
I have been having trouble getting the first step of this completed, installing GI to get ASM up and running. But, that's not part of this question.
Once I get this all configured and running, I will have to install the new agent on all of our targets. Over on those old boxes, he'll still be installed as 'dba', which can read all of the targets. So I think I'm okiay. It's just that I'm stuck with one foot in each door. But having 2 groups for the 'oracle' user will make it okay.

Minimal linux config for Oracle

Does anyone aware of documentation of what minimum config. (packages, compilers, kernel versions, etc.) will allow Oracle 8i to install?
And also does anyone aware of a pure command line Oracle install so I can run the process at background.

for suse linux 7.2 you have to have the following(minimum):
-the linux base system
-the series d pakages mainly:
-gcc
-binutils
- since there is need to change the kernel parameters for shared memory and semaphores, you will need to install the kernel-source and linux(ie rest of linux sources) as well. if there are some missing packages from above, installing these two will detect any missing packages and all you do is press the key to solve dependencies(F4 I think(??)
- basic window manager if installing 8i rel 3 (8.17), you have to have the basic x11 capability on your system
I think thats about it. Good luck

Configure the Linux Kernel for Oracle 8i

I wish to install Oracle 8i as explaned in
its documenation. Hence, I need to recompile the Linux Kernel with increased values to shared memory or semaphore parameters. Therefore, can someone please post to this discussion
list copies of their altered
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/sem.h
Or please point me to a clear document on how
to alter these files?
--Thank you,
--Charles

I should have told you what amount of RAM I have installed:
384 MB
Also, can someone tell me what is the above number in HEX? I calulated 17155CE0h, is the correct?

Create LINUX DSN For Oracle Database To Be Used With iODBC

Hi,
I'm trying to create a DSN for my Oracle 10g database within my RHEL 4 environment. I'm using the iODBC Driver Manager and Oracle's ODBC drivers to do this. If I install Oracle's 10.2.0.4 (or higher) Instant Client and ODBC Drivers, I get the following error while trying to test out the configuration using iodbctest:
-bash-3.00$ /usr/local/stow/libiodbc-3.52.6/bin/iodbctest
iODBC Demonstration program
This program shows an interactive SQL processor
Driver Manager: 03.52.0607.1008
Enter ODBC connect string (? shows list): DSN=UCMdev
1: SQLDriverConnect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]/orbdev/instantclient_11_1/libsqora.so.11.1: undefined symbol: SQLGetPrivateProfileStringW (0) SQLSTATE=00000
2: SQLDriverConnect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded (0) SQLSTATE=IM003
-bash-3.00$
If I try to use Oracle 10.2.0.3 Instant Client and ODBC drivers with iODBC, I get the following error:
-bash-3.00$ /usr/local/stow/libiodbc-3.52.6/bin/iodbctest
iODBC Demonstration program
This program shows an interactive SQL processor
Driver Manager: 03.52.0607.1008

2: SQLDriverConnect = [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded (0) SQLSTATE=IM003
-bash-3.00$
Can somebody please let me know how to proceed. We cannot go with any other ODBC Driver Manager, hence unixODBC is out of the picture. We have to use iODBC.
Thanks!

Want to download only client for Oracle 8.1.7 for linux

Where can one find client for Oracle 8.1.7 for linux which we can download ? Oracle database is on another platform.
Thanks

The Database, Management and Integration server and client are all included in the one 8i download. The installer gives you the choice of just installing the client tools.

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.
