Migration 10g on Solaris with SAN

My predecessors built our database servers with the ORACLE_HOME on the SAN.
When it came time to upgrade the development server, the Oracle files that were not under ORACLE_HOME were copied to the newly built Solaris server, the SAN connections swapped over to the new server, and the IP address and Server name were swapped.
The DBA ran the root.sh script and the server is now running as an Oracle server.
There were a number of problems that had to be fixed.
This DBA has since been terminated, and there are no notes available regarding the problems that cropped up. The "Powers that Be" want to duplicate the process on the Production server. Has anyone else tried this methodology, and succeeded?

The old server was running Solaris 10 64-bit.
The Oracle 10.2.0.2 ORACLE_HOME and the instances were installed on the SAN.
The new server is running Solaris 10, and will be attached to the SAN.
It will have the same name as the old server, and the same IP address.
The plan is to replace the aging/dying server with a new server, swap the SAN connection, swap the server name, swap the IP address, and then rerun root.sh to make the new server an Oracle server
This was done on the Development side, but that dba is no more.
There were significant problems, but the SA that is pushing for this method has no clue what the resolution was.

Complexities of Migrating Oracle 10g from Solaris to HP-UX Itanium

Can anyone share their experiences with regards to migrating Oracle 10g from Solaris on a Sun platform to HP-UX 11i v3 (Itanium) on HP Integrity servers. We are trying to consider all the risks associated with such a move. How much time delay did you experience in resolving unexpected issues along the way? How complex is the process? If you had to do it all over again, would you?
In addtion, we will also be migrating Oracle eBusiness Suite 11i (11.5.10.2).
We appreciate your helpful feedback.
Thank you.

Here is more information:
- the database size is currently about 500GB
- our ASP allows us to be down as much as we want however the company's own needs can only allow a downtime window of two days (over the weekend)
- i presume further that RMAN might be an option to use to backup the database and instance to some transportable media
- it would take about four days to get that media from the ASP to our facility so durign that time the instance at the ASP would have to be used
- after we get the backup media and load everything into our in-house site, our last step would be to find a way to migrate all changes over the WAN. I am told that unless the platforms are the same on both ends, mirroring will be extremely difficult or impossible. If we have a platform that is different from the ASP platform, then the migration of all changes will require conversion and other mechanisms. I am told that HP-UX has so much complexities that this will be a daunting task to accomplish.
Do you have any opinions and recommnedations?

Help with Oracle 10G on Solaris 9

This is a question that belongs to Oracle forum since I am only a Unix Administrator but work closely with some DBA's. I am installing Oracle Companion CD 10G on Solaris 9. The Oracle 10G software, I was able to install successfully in the past. The DBA's asked me to also install the companion CD for some added features.
Currently, the system is running Oracle 9i on Solaris 9. I installed Oracle 10G on this test environment. I have ensured to change the .profile entries in Oracle 9i and use the Oracle 10G profile so they dont overwrite one another. I have also made sure not to overwrite any files such as "oraenv" etc during the install. The install of Oracle 10G was successful. The dba's that I am trying to help out asked me if I could also install Oracle 10G companion CD 64 bit version.
I tried to install it by placing the path to Oracle 10G
But when the prerequisites started, I got the following:
"Oracle OHS Standalone can not be installed into an existing Oracle RDBMS 9.2.0.1.0 or higher Oracle home."
Now I know that at that time, I had all the Oracle instances down on 9i so it wont interfere with 10G but why is it still seeing 9.2.??? What can I do to bypass this message so I can install the Companion CD? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Check also if the t-bit is set:
[root@vtl1g121 ~]# ls -dl /tmp

JDeveloper 10g video problems with Windows Vista

Hi,
I'm using JDev 10g 10.1.3.3 over Windows Vista with Aero active. Since I started using Vista, I have always had problems with JDev. First, the fonts in the JDev panels would mess up and the scrolling would not work well. I made some changes in the way JDev uses the JDK, I don't remember exactly what I did, but I think I made the whole JDev environment to use a newer JDK, which is not engouraged/supported by Oracle. Since then, the scrolling problem was solved. But When I run my app, Aero stops working.
Is there a way to make JDev 10g work perfectly with Vista?
(No, I'm not willing to migrate to 11g, for several reasons, so I need to stick to 10g for now).
Thanks!
Brian

Few questions about OWB migration 10g---- 11g and UIODs

I am curretly migrating OWB repository from 10g to 11g.
Both repositories are on the same database.
We just have one single Project in our Repository. It is actually(preinstalled) MY_PROJECT renamed into something else. So it has the UOID of the "default" MY_PROJECT but of course, physical and business names are different.
Because we renamed MY_PROJECT, complications occured when we first tried to do the repository upgrade the recommended way, with repository assistant. During the upgrade processes , the error came that the objects with same UOIDs but different names exist.
Obviously, MY_PROJECT from the 10g repository collided with the new, preinstalled, MY_PROJECT in the (almost) empty 11g repository/workspace.
Also, MY_PROJECT in 11g workspace has exactly the same UOID as the one created in 10g repository.
I was told by Oracle support that this was a bug-but they do not see it as high priority, so we had to do workaround --the migration of the repository on 11g.
Now my first Question: Was it completely insane to use MY_PROJECT for your actual ongoing Project? We never had any other problem with this constallation.I also noticed in forums that people indeed use MY_PROJECT for their work.
The second question: Has anybody , ever, seen the same problem, when trying to upgrade to 11g ?
The migration procedure is as follows:
-install 11g Workspace with Repository Assistant
-Export locations and data from 10g repository
-Import locations and data in 11g repository- thé update option -matching on UOID..so we do not get problem with MY_PROJECT
-register locations in11g repository
-deploy all mappings and workflows
Now, this all works fine..and our new 11g repository runs without problem..
I am still puzzled by few things :
New 11g repository is almost empty apart from MY_PROJECT and DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION. Now, MY_PROJECT in 11g has the same UOID as in oracle 10. But DAFAULT_CONFIGURATION in 11g has different UOID from DAFAULT_CONFIGURATION in 10g. It is always the same UIOD for every new 11g installation (I've upgraded repository on many databases).
Now 3rd question: Is there any particular reason why DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION has different UOID in 11g and MY_PROJECT hast the same UOID ? Is there any logic behind it -that I fail to grasp ?
Another thing. I said that I am importing complete Project in the new repository with update option with matching on UIOD. I should get a problem with DAFAULT_CONFIGURATION, I thought, since it is in the full export of the Project and DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION has different UOID than in 11g repository.
But I did not get the problem at all.Default Configuration was simply skipped during the import - visible from the import log.
Therefore 4th question : Why didnät OWB try to import DEAFULT_CONFIG? Is it "internal" object and as such cant't be changed ?
The reason I am so obsessed with UOIDs is that we have automated release procedure (between development, test and production repositores) which is based on comparing UOIDs.
Therefore a s slight trace of concearn on my side, because the DEAFULT CONFIG now has different UOIDs than before. But on the other side, we just propagate mappings and workflows between repositories - I do not see why the default config should matter here .
Thank very much in advance for any answers/suggestions/ideas and comments!

Installation of Oracle 10g in Solaris 10 zones

Hi Everybody,
Is there any Documentation for Installation of Oracle 10g in Solaris 10 Zones.
I am having multiple zones shared by one common SAN Storage.
I want to install oracle 10g in one of the particular local zone.
Regards,
Prosenjit Mukherjee.

Last time I looked at metalink the documentation said zones and containers were not supported. That may no longer be true so you should check there first.

DefaultTableCellRender not working on solaris with JDK1.3.1

HI,
I have upgraded my JRE from 1.2.2 to 1.3.1. I was using
the following piece of code
column = new TableColumn(1,200);
column.setCellRenderer(new DefaultTableCellRenderer());
this was working fine with Jre 1.2.2 where i just was painting the cell with blue/green colors based on some conditions. but once i migrated from jre 1.2.2 to jre1.3.1 without changing the code, i found that it is working the same way with windows environment but it's not able to paint the cells properly with solaris 5.8 environment. to paint the cells I am using Color class. I was using
color1 = new Color(144,202,182); //light green
Color2 = new Color(145,168,199) //light blue
however on solaris both of them are being displayed as light blue colour.
I want to know what could be the reason for such behaviour? Are ther any patches available for the solaris with jre1.3.1 so that this problem can be fixed.

Try this:

Memory issue, Oracle 10g in Solaris 10 zone

I know many memory questions have been asked, but I couldn't find any similar to the problem I'm seeing.
Starting from a fresh server boot, I have 12G of available memory, or nearly that anyway. Oracle 10g is installed with no databases created.
After creating a database and running a few sql scripts to create tablespaces and users, my available memory is down to 3.5G.
Rebooting the solaris zone containing Oracle does not restore any available memory. Shutting down the database does not restore any available memory.
Why does Oracle seem to absorb so much available memory and not release it? I created the database from scripts and restricted the overall sga by a good bit over the defaults and while this did reduce the memory the oracle processes use, I'm still seeing this continual absorption of memory to the point where running any imports takes forever because my memory seems to bottom out. I saw it go down (using top, and vmstat) to about 500M at one point.
Is there any utility that I can use, either solaris or sqlplus that will free up system memory?

Does that mean there is not Oracle 10g for Solairs 10 X86?
Where can I find Oracle 9i for Solairs x86?
Thanks advance!

10g on Solaris 10 needs special handling:
1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.

Hi,

maybe it helps. It that thread I showed how I usually manage X11 window. Another way is to do everything silent with scripts as shown here:
