How to manage oracle in linux

Hi all experienced dba out there. I had been administering oracle on Windows. But now I am looking for a dba role where the OS environment is mostl likely to be LINUX. Any guys who have worked on linux environment, can you please tell me, is it really hard to manage oracle in linux as I mentioned I only have experience in windows. I have also heard there is GUI in linux which is similar to windows. Do you guys mostly use command or GUI of linux to manage your oracle at work. If command is mostly used, what are the most common commands to manage oracle. Thanks alot for your attention

Manging Oracle on Linux is no more difficult than managing Oracle on Windows.
Managing Linux is about the same difficulty as managing Windows. Both require a degree of understanding of the environment. Once you are comfortable with the environment and the terminology / language used, you should have no big problems.
I think the biggest challenges in Linux are
- a different set of editors than you have used
- a lot more time in the command line and writing batch scripts
- Microsoft has many of the nix command capabilities but with enough changes (cp -> copy) to be confusing (remember, nix came first <g>)
- the idea of 'C:, D:' drives is totally gone ... in *nix there is no 'drive', it's all just 'files'
There are several GUI utilities to help 'manage' Linux. These may not be very useful when working with Oracle environment as they tend to relate to a file-oriented (or fire server) computing environment, not a database environment. However, you might want to search the web for 'WebMin' as a possibility.
I encourage you get a good basic reference. One I like, although dated, is Essential System Administration

Oracle RAC Linux RHEL4 to RHEL5 Upgrade Procedures

Hi All,
I would like know if there is recommended process for upgrading the Linux OS on Oracle 10.2.0.4 RAC from RHEL4 to RHEL5 (if possible, with minimum amount of downtime). Are there any whitepapers, recommended steps, obstacles, etc. We are currently running on RHEL4. I have not been able to locate much information about upgrading existing OS's in a RAC enviroment.
Thanks in advanced.

CrisIn my opinion, the recommended process for upgrading the Linux OS on Oracle 10.2.0.4 RAC from RHEL4 to RHEL5, is to clean install.
Clean install means, install a new RHEL5, and then migrate the RAC 10g there!

Oracle Retires "Managing Oracle9i on Linux" Special Accreditation

!http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009-0508-0941.gif!
The "Managing Oracle9i on Linux" special accreditation and its related exam was retired August 31, 2009. Those working with Linux are urged to pursue the newer gOracle Database 10g: Managing Oracle on Linux Certified Expert (OCE) certification.
CREDENTIAL VALIDITY
Please note that for those already holding the Managing Oracle9i on Linux special accreditation - the credential remains valid indefinitely. This retirement therefore has no effect on those currently holding the accreditation.

Hi Mediaguy
What happends with those retired tests, will they still available or distributed by another vendor like expertratings or others?
What will be the future of the Oracle Database 10g: Managing Oracle on Linux Certified Expert (OCE)? Will it be upgraded to 11g? or still available 3 more years?
Please let us know that.

Hi,
Can anyone share me the procedure to Create dblink in Oracle/Linux (RHEL4) to MS SQL Server/Windows?

Hi,
to access non-Oracle systems you must use Oracle Heterogeneous Services.
You have to follow the instructions from Heterogeneous Connectivity Administrator's Guide to perform it.

Oracle on Linux recommendations

Hello,
I'm looking to migrate our Oracle installation from Windows to Linux. I am an experienced Linux administrator and architect, and I am also very familiar with SAN storage, but have not looked at the details of implementing Oracle on Linux before. I have certain constraints dictated by our client requirements and available hardware. Namely, the hardware platform will be 2 HP DL580's connected via dual fibre to HDS (Hitachi) 9900V storage. There will be multiple luns presented for different containers. As a result of the multiple storage paths we require good multipath IO support. For this reason my first choice is Redhat Enterprise AS 5. However, on the database side we are limited due to client application compatibility to Oracle 10g R1/R2. We are looking to deploy RAC. We are also looking at 64bit for larger file and memory support. Is this realistic?
What sort of configuration should I be looking at?
Should I be looking at Oracle Enterprise Linux 5?
Am I going to have problems if we want to use RHEL5?
Is Oragle 10g well supported on RHEL5/OEL5 or will I have to drop to RHEL4/OEL4 (which may cause problems for my SAN mpio support.)
Will we require OCFS2 for any reason?
What advantage is there to me in running unbreakable linux? I've read the marketing blurbs but it is not clear to me what the advantages are.
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks,
Sheldon.

Hi,
I think it is Okay to you mentioned configuration to deploy the RAC based on 10g &RHEL5/OEL5.As a matter of fact,Oracle 10gR2 64-bit has been certified on RHEL5-64bit&OEL5-64bit.
Actually,OCFS2 and ASM are supported by Oracle RAC.The recommended way to manage large amounts of storage in a RAC environment is ASM (Automatic Storage Management).If you want to use the cluster file system,OCFS2 as an open source project is provided.
OEL5 is fully compatible with RHEL5.Unbreakable Linux is support service.If you choose the OEL5,you can benefit from it as below:
1,Oracle Enterprise Linux is Free to Download.For Enterprise customers had to pay for a support contract to actually get an enterprise Linux distribution, even if they just wanted to evaluate it. With Oracle Unbreakable Linux, customers can always download the binaries and the source code for free, no support subscription required.Free download at: http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux
2,Oracle applied a number of bugfixes on top of the original code. These are very limited in scope, and they are critical for customers to have as soon as possible in their production deployment. For a complete listing, read the following data sheets:http://www.oracle.com/technologies/linux/el5cert-ds.pdf
3,Extensive Testing:
Tremendous effort has gone into assuring that there is no divergence from the original Red Hat source code, given that the main goal of Oracle Enterprise Linux and the Oracle.
4,Patches and Bugfixes
Another aspect of compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux is around patches and bugfixes written by Oracle and not appearing in the Red Hat distribution.
5,Pay less money and get more professional support service:)

You are mixing redhat provided packages with OEL. Generally, it's not a good idea to mix packages of different distributions.
The media you've used to install OEL contains these packages. Use these.

R12 on Oracle Unbrakable Linux.

hi,
I want to install R12 on Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5.
I have downloaded Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 from edelivery.oracle.com.
I have installed Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5. It has got all the packaged installed except the these 2 packages as prescibed by Metalink.
pdksh-5.2.14-30.3
xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.11
When i try to apply these packages, they don't get installed.
Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 has installed ksh-93, is this enough or do i need to install ( pdksh ) for installing R12.
Regarding xscreensaver, Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 has got kscreensaver, screen and gnome-screensaver. are these enough or do i need to install the Package - (xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.11). In this package the package name seems to be of rhel4.11.
Do i need to apply any RPM's for APACHE.

Charan Babu

Oracle 11g grid control software for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 version

Hi,
Just curious to know when Oracle 11g grid control software for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 version will be released. If already released, can you post the link?
Regards,
Manohar

What is the best installlation document to follow for the latest EM Grid control ?The latest Grid Control is available for download at http://download.oracle.com (Scroll down to "Enterprise Management"). There is a README beside the download link. THAT README PROVIDES INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS.
In a nutshell, you install the lowest version (10.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.2, which ever is lower for your Grid Control platform), and then apply the 10.2.0.5 patch according to the readme. That should not normally take more than a day.

That can be found using the self-help portal: http://otn.oracle.com -> Products : Enterprise Management (left edge menu). In the 'Product Focus' area, you will notice 'Application Management' which will lead you to the appropriate data sheets and supporting information.

Using Windows NT 4.0 client program connecting to oracle 8i linux server

Dear sir/madam,
Recently, I have successfully installed Oracle 8i in my red hat linux database server. I am disappointed because I can find client side Oracle Enterprise Manager in my linux server even I have installed client program in my linux database server.
Next, I install Oracle 8i client side program (windows NT/2000 version) in my Windows NT 4.0 server. I am still disappointed because I find Oracle Enterprise Manager console cannot work.
For Windows NT 4.0 Enterprise Manager, I have key in default administrator sysman, password oem_temp, and connect to mamagement server hangng (my linux database server). An error message display 'VTK-1000 Unable to connect to the management server hangng. Please verify that you have entered the correct host name and the status of the Oracle Management Server.'.
What's wrong with both Oracle 8i Management Server in linux database server and windows nt 4.0 server. Is there any problem for Oracle Management server console to connect to red hat linux database server?

I need to confirm that I will be able to connect an Oracle 11g R2 client (administrator install) to an Oracle 8i DB before i bother trying to setup such a scenario?Don't waste your time. It won't work. It simply results in an error.
I saw another thread that mentioned a patch level required for 8i to let the 10g client connect. Is there such a patch level needed for 11g clients as well?There is no such patch for 8i which allows 11g client to connect.
