Linux Operating System - Suitability for SAP

Dear All,
We are evaluating the Linux system for installation of SAP ECC60 , EP and BIW . Please let us know that how the Linux is better than any other OS system i.e. HP-UX, AIX, Solaries etc
Please reply...
Regards
Vimal

I am not an expert but a few chaps here are and love the thing. From my perspective using it it is a very easy thing to use with a lot of possible features due to its open source roots. If you don't like a tool then just find a better one.
Also I am a bit of a memory geek and I do like the way that Linux swaps are very easy to understand, in fact swaps are exactly what they should be, they do not include I/O or all memory is not mapped there to start with and so Linux is eally simple to understand.
As I said I'm not an expert but I am a Basis person of 14 years who finds it very easy to use. You can argue  though that you get used to any OS but as some idea, we recommend Linux as the platform of choice now.

  • Adding a Linux Operating System To the HP computeers with Windows 8.1

    In Feb this year, I purchased an HP Envy 700-216 computer which came with Windows 8.1 installed. As everyone is now finally realizing, even Microsoft, Windows 8 and 8.1 sucks and is shortly going to be replaced and made obsolete!! I knew this when I purchased the computer, but no one could tell me how to add a Linux operating system to it, including the technicians at Ofice depot and the ones at HP support. We could get the HDD partitioned, but the BIOS always reset when the computer was rebooted. . 
     I finally figured it out on my own which required quite a bit of research. This information ought to be available via HP support (It was not!!!).
    Briefly, I had to go into the BIOS and then download my Linux distro of choice (Linux Mint Debian Edition) which provides a very easy to operate partitioning system. I allowed only 500 Gigs of space for the Windows OS leaving the rest of the 2 TiB drive for my Linux Distro. . Then I downloaded and installed reFind, a freebie which allows the easy selection and setting of the preferred operating system. 
    If anyone else would like to know how to do this, please contact me and I'll try to walk you through it.

    Never mind, I think I hacked up my own solution to the question:

    GO
    INSERT INTO [dbo].[tbl_IL_OS]

    ,[Description]
    ,[Architecture]

  • Installing Oracle Web Tier 32-bit on a 64-bit Linux Operating System

    Hello,
    We're trying to install the 11.1.1.2 32-bit web tier on a RHEL 5 64-bit system following these directions: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e14770/install.htm#CHDCGDJG
    We're trying to figure out the equivalent on our system to these notes:
    "c.Using a text editor such as vi, create a new file called gcc41 that contains the following conent:
    #!/bin/sh
    exec /usr/bin/gcc.orig -m32 -static-libgcc
    -B/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/2.95.3/ $*
    Note:
    The file i586-suse-linux/2.95.3 may differ slightly depending on the exact version of your Linux operating system. Verify the exact version of your Linux operating system in use; search for the 32bit directory in /usr/lib/gcc and obtain the exact file name."
    We think ths might be the closest thing:
    [root@server1 32]# pwd
    /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/32
    [root@server1 32]# ls
    crtbegin.o crtbeginT.o crtendS.o libgcc.a libgcc_s.so libgomp.a libmudflap.a libmudflapth.a libstdc++.a libsupc++.a
    crtbeginS.o crtend.o crtfastmath.o libgcc_eh.a libgcov.a libgomp.so libmudflap.so libmudflapth.so libstdc++.so
    Can someone tell us what "file" they are speaking of in this environment? Or is that "2.95.3" a directory??
    Thanks for the help!

    For anyone that might run into the same problem, here's what needs to be in the gcc41 for a RHEL 5 64-bit platform:
    #!/bin/sh
    exec /usr/bin/gcc.orig -m32 $*

  • NB550D-10G - Linux operating system

    I have recently bought an NB550D-10G and have not yet used it.
    I'm not a Windows fan and with a new desktop PC my first move would be to replace Windows with some form of Linux operating system.
    However, before doing this on this netbook I want to check what the effect is likely to be on some of the features. I am interested in the following:
    1. Dolby Advanced Audio
    2. USB sleep and charge
    3. Sleep and music
    4. Power management
    5. Any other functions
    For example, am I going to be able to use the sleep and music function when running Linux, or is this dependent on Windows or other pre-installed software?

    Linux has problems with sleep, so I wouldn't expect to have immediate results with #2 and #3. Power management (#4) can be poor because Linux drivers are often written in a way that uses more power than needed.
    I'd suggest doing a search for your specific issues in a Linux forum, because someone probably has fixes for these issues, but it won't be automatic. It will, however, be worth the effort in the end.

  • Install Tuxedo (tuxedo10gR3) as a root user in Linux Operating System

    Hi,
    Is it mandatory to install Tuxedo (tuxedo10gR3) as a root user in Linux Operating System?
    Thanks
    Soundappan

    I saw we need root access as a prerequisites in the installation guid. (I assume we need the root access only to create a owner and group id on the unix system)
    =====================
    Prerequisites
    Before you begin to install Oracle Tuxedo, make sure that you have the following resources in place:
    • TCP/IP connectivity (required for PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.50 or higher) between the client machine and
    the application server
    • Approximately 235 MB of free disk space on the application server
    • For UNIX, you must have root access.
    ============================
    Thanks

  • Where I can find documentation platforms (operating systems) CERTIFICATES for earlier versions of ASE (15.5, 15.0, 12.5, etc)?

    Hi....
    Where I can find documentation platforms (operating systems) certificates for earlier versions of ASE versions of ASE (15.5, 15.0, 12.5, etc)?

    The detailed certification information that used to be available on the Sybase web site is not currently externally accessible since SAP decommissioned the site - all that is currently available is the basic information in the SAP Product Availability Matrix (PAM) and the base release information available in the ASE documentation.
    ASE support is looking into ways of restoring external access to the certification reports, possibly here as SCN documents or on the SCN wiki.  I don't have any estimate for when this will be available, though.
    If you have a support contract, you can open an incident to ask about specific versions/platforms; we still have internal access to the reports.  If the support engineer doesn't know how to access the reports, ask them to get in touch with me.

    The only difference with CentOS is that you use yum as your package updater and to pass the OUI checks you need to edit /etc/redhat-release (or you can just ignore the warning that your OS is not RHEL)
    For example,
    cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/zzzredhat-release
    cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)
    EOFAnd you can also use yum on the free Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL), which is also very close to Red Hat but also adds the oracle-validated RPM in the most recent releases. OEL is available from http://edelivery.oracle.com
