Linux Itanium

Hello team. I have a brand new HP Integrity rx2800 i2 and we installed hpux v3. Now we want to create 2 virtual machines with redhat 5. My question is if oracle 11g r2 is supported on Linux x64 Itanium.
The certification matrix only talks about Linux x64 without specifying the type of processor.
I hope i made my self clear.
Thanks in advance.

Cannot get 10.1.0.3 on linux Itanium to install on RHEL4

I have been trying to get rdbms version 10.1.0.3 for Linux Itanium to install on a new HP rx6600 running RHEL4 and have not had much luck thus far...I have an open SR with metalink but still not much progress...
Initially I had to download the oracle jvm patch for the montecito processor and I installed a patched version of the jre and jdk. This got the installer to continue on a little further but still I cannot get the oui to launch.
Now that we have the patch version of the jre I am running the installer with the -jreLoc parameter and pointing it to the new jre but I am getting the following annoying error.
oracle@bistand Disk1]$ ./runInstaller -debug -jreLoc $ORACLE_HOME/jre

My tmp dir is writable and I have plently of space and I have tried a workaround to create a newtmp dir and export the variables to use newtmp but still the annoying error persists?
Also I see that when runing the installer with the debug option it is looking for the jar files in the jre location? No idea why this is happeneing...
Has anyone gotten this to work?
Thanks.

Because I have a 10.1.0.3 database that I need to migrate to new hardware and I want to use oracle dataguard to faciilitate a zero down time migration to ASM and the rdbms versions need to be the same in order to have the ability to use data guard... I plan to upgrade after the database has been migrated.
And your probably thinking why not just upgrade the 10.1.0.3 database first and then migrate? Well I am trying to avoid upgrading the currently installed 10.1.0.3 database because we are reliant on tape backups and do not have a good disk backup/restore solution should something go wrong with the database upgrade...So I was hoping to get the db migrated over first and then do the upgrade of the database on the newer hardware and new storage because with my new hardware I have the ability to do online disk backups which will be more reliable and less risk involved in the event that the upgrade doesn't go so well...
Trust me life would be so easy If I could just install oracle 11G.

The Install problem 10.1.0.3 on linux itanium

hi.

Problems with Dynamic Remastering (DRM) with 10.2.0.4 on Linux Itanium

One of my customers is having severe RAC performance issues, which appeared three times so far. Each time, the performance impact lasted around 10 minutes and caused basically a hang of the application. ASH investigation revealed that the time frame of performance issues exactly matches a DRM operation of the biggest segment of the database. During the problematic time period, there are +50 instead of 2-3 active sessions and they are mostly waiting for gc related events: "gc buffer busy","gc cr block busy", "gc cr block 2-way", "gc current block 2-way", "gc current request", "gc current grant busy", etc.
In addition, there is one single session which has wait event "kjbdrmcvtq lmon drm quiesce: ping completion" (on instance 1) and 1-3 sessions with wait event "gc remaster". (on instance 2)
Does anybody have any experience with DRM problems with 10.2.0.4 on Linux Itanium?
I know that it is possible to deactive DRM, but usually it should be beneficial to have it enabled. I could not find any reports of performance impact during DRM operation on metalink. Support is involved but clueless.
Regards,
Martin

Oracle Support has requested stacktraces of lms processes during the period of performance degradation. We decided to enable OSWatcher to get systemwide linux data and procwatcher to get lms process stacktraces. We created a Grid Control User Defined Metric to check whether the symptoms of a DRM performance problem is taking place. Then we triggered the lms stacktraces with a Grid Control Response Action script of the UDM.
Oracle Support has also requested global hanganalyze and system state dumps but we decided not to collect system state dumps because of the big additional performance impact.
The oswatcher data showed that during the drm period, the lms processes had very high CPU resource utilization.
In the meantime Oracle Support has confirmed that we are hitting 6960699. We have received patch 8516675 which includes the bugfix and have installed it. Now, we are waiting to see whether this indeed fixes the issue.

Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.4 not getting installed on Linux Itanium

Hi
I am installing Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.4 (evaluation version downloaded from OTN) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on Itanium (64 bit) server. As I have read in documentation, OBIEE comes only in 32 bit and should have 32 bit emulation on the 64 bit server. We already have 32 bit emulation activated on the server.
I have created an Oracle User account on the server and copied RH_LINUX folder containing the installation files for OBIEE in the Oracle User folder.
When I run [oracle@machinename Oracle_Business_Intelligence]$ ./UnixChk.sh -s, it gives SUCCESS.
But when I run [oracle@machinename Oracle_Business_Intelligence]$ ./setup.sh for OBIEE, it gives:
IntallShield Wizard
Initializing InstallShield Wizard...
Preparing Java(tm) Virtual Machine...
................................................[oracle@machinename Oracle_Business_Intelligence]$
The installation simply stops without going forward.
I have even tried ./setup.sh -console but still it gives the same problem.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Ruchir

I checked that document and its not mentioning it clearly. It says that OBIEE is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with following rider:
"Windows and Linux 64-bit support: For the Windows and Linux releases, the Oracle BI EE software is 32-bit. The
software can run on 64-bit processors that support 32-bit emulation. The supported processors are AMD64 and EM64T.
NOTE: Revisions A and B of this guide incorrectly listed Itanium2 as a supported processor."
We have 32-bit emulation activated on our Server but the document doesn't clearly states that whether it supports Itanuim or not (though it has specifically mentioned AMD64 and EM64T processors as supported 64-bit processors and has specifically listed Itanium2 as NOT supported processor)

J2EE 5.0 on Linux Itanium (IA64)

Does anyone know if J2EE 5.0 for Linux is supported and available on Itanium (IA64).

Java EE 5 SDK is not officially supported on this platform. You could attempt installation using workarounds described here:
http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Projects/LinDist
Another option would be to download and install GlassFish distribution which is open source equivalent of Application Server bundled in Java EE 5 SDK and then download and install other parts of SDK (samples, javadocs, etc) separately. Relevant download URLs:
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/04May06.html

Pointer bugs do not necessarily produce immediate errors. They can cause the app to fail in unexpected ways almost anywhere after the point where the bug occurred. A common indicator of this is if the code changes or the execution through the code changes then a different bug (location) occurs.I suspected that "stack overflow" is not a good indicator (especially based on some of your older posts). I do not understand what you mean by -- That is followed by a misuse of an API (which is going to end up resolving to a pointer error too.). I am using the VM pointer and am attaching a native thread to it to call back into Java layer. Can you please elaborate on the misuse?

Linux itanium rac

오라클 10gR2버전으로 RedHat4 ltanium으로 RAC를 구축하려고 합니다..
itanium으로 rac를 묶을 경우에 특별한 이슈가 있는지 알고 싶습니다..
또한, crs로만 묶을 경우 ASM을 꼭 사용해야 되는지 알고 싶습니다
raw를 이용할려고 하는데 아직 잘 모르겠군요
조언 부탁드립니다.

10g 부터는 3rd 제품없이 crs만 설치하셔도 됩니다.
그런데 현업에서는 불안한지 crs만 설치는 잘 안하더군요
asm은 선택사항입니다. 써도 되고 안써도 되고..
아직 까지는 asm을 잘 안씁니다.

RMAN from windows client to a Oracle db on Linux

hi all
we have a architecture where in Oracle 10g R2 RAC is installed on SuSe Linux Itanium systems. Its a two node RAC. this is production
We have another server which is in another network (cannot connect to production network) this is development. This dev server is x86_64 Suse Linux
RMAN is used for backup on production and a catalog database also exists there.
We need to take a backup of the production and restore it on the dev environment. a normal RMAN backup involving the catalog database doesnt work as catalog database isnt accessible from the remote network.
we access the two servers by changing the network cable on our desktops ...
my query is:
can i take a RMAN backup of the production italicswithout using the catalog italics on my desktop from a windows oracle client? And then restore from the same windows machine into the database in the development environment.?
does RMAN support the cross platform backup and restore?

Yes it does, check RMAN Cross-Platform Transportable Databases and Tablespaces, but it appears that your PROD and DEV are both Linux boxes, so you shouldn't have a problem doing a normal backup/restore.

How to install Oracle RDBMS version 10.2.0.2 (or higher)
To install 10.2.0.1 and then 10.2.0.2 (or higher) on Linux Itanium, do the following :
[1]. Download Patch 5390722 and run the supplied OUI to install Montecito JDK and JRE into the new 10.2 home
* Unzip the patch
* Start OUI from Patch 5390722 and install JDK into the new 10.2 home
* Start OUI from Patch 5390722 and install JRE into the new 10.2 home
[2]. Install 10.2.0.1 into the new 10.2 home by running OUI from the 10.2.0.1 DVD :
./runInstaller -jreLoc $ORACLE_HOME/jre/1.4.2
NOTE: During the installation (on the "Product Specific Prerequisite Checks" page) the "Checking for Oracle Home incompatibilities..." check will fail. Click the check box next to it, so that the status changes to "User Verified", and continue with the installation.
[3]. Install 10.2.0.2 (or higher) into the new 10.2 home by running OUI from where the patchset has been unzipped :
./runInstaller -jreLoc $ORACLE_HOME/jre/1.4.2

Nov 2, 2006. I'm adding this hoping it helps someone else in the future. I asked this question to Oracle Support. Their response:
QUESTION
========
Customer is planning to upgrade from 10.2.0.1 and 10.2.0.2. Customer is running ASM ,so customer is asking do they need to apply Patch 4547817 on Database Home or to ASM home as well.
ANSWER
======
No. You dont need to apply Patch 4547817 on ASM home.You should apply Patch 4547817 on Database Home only. You dont need to apply Patch to ASM home. You are going to upgrade database from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.2. Database can be on 10.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.2 but ASM cant be.

HTMLDB 2.0 for Linux Itanium2

Anyone willing to share an expected release date?
So far, even with intense RTFM we have never been able to get a succesfull install on an Itanium2 box. We have not fopened an iTAR simply because there is so much going on in our environment now.
From the companion CD that came with 10G (10.1.0.3) we tried installing an earlier version (1.5 I think) and did not succeed. So we went with the install on an x86 platform and that went extraordinarily well.
A few related questions on this topic:
Was HTMLDB 1.6 ever released for Linux Itanium?
Did anyone have a succesfull install of HTMLDB 1.5 (that came with the 10.1.0.3 companion CD)?
Assuming that a HTMLDB 2.0 release is on the horizon for Itanium2, does this need a previous version of HTMLDB to be installed before 2.0 can be installed.
Thanks.

Nena,
HTML DB resides inside the database so when 2.0 is released it will be immediately available on ALL platforms.
At the moment the team is still working on some bugs

10g2 EM dbcontrol and patch control AMD64 thinks its Itanium

posted in linux forum, but i think maybe its better here:
good day all,
i have a clean install of 10g2 onto SLES10. when i go into
apply patch in the EM console the system identifies itself as Linux Itanium
and lists the itanium patches by default. i can select Linux x86-64 (AMD64/EMT64)
from the pulldown menu on platform, but i'm wondering where exactly this parameter
is set. anyone know where this is?
does anyone use the EM as a patching mechanism or do you apply patches manually?
-- michael

EM will store the OS, Software and Oracle Inventory (including applied patches) information in the EM repository.
