  • Redhat Linux and Msi 875

    I have tried both 8.0 and 9.0 to install but it gets stuck at the very early stage of the installation. Has anyone tried yet with success?

    In BIOS, I set 1st boot device to CD, insert the Linux 9.0 install disk1. The CD gives 4 options for setup. I choose to run setup in GUI mode. Install begins, it starts scanning hardware, It finds USB 2.0 and after that it can't continue. The cursor keeps blinking. I waited couple of minutes, tried couple of times but of no avail.
    Here is my system spec:
    MB: MSI875P Neo-Fis2r
    Samsung DDR3200 2x256MB
    NEC-ND1300 DVD+-R/RW
    MSI 48x16x48x CDRW
    IBM 100GB Harddrive (partitions:2 NFS, 1 FAT32, rest for Linux)
    Santa Cruz Sound card
    Hauppauge WinTv PCI
    MSI Gf4 Ti4600 4xAGP card
    CPU 2.4Ghz 800Mhz FSB
    WinXP Pro is running rock solid without any OC. BIOS temp reading for Sys is around 34-35, CPU is 41-44 degree celcius. During the initial boot process, it always reports some "device not connected to Smart controller or something and the BIOS not installed" (this message goes so first I can never get a complete reading).
    Current BIOS is 1.6

  • Upgrading from 9,2.0.6 (HP-UX) to 10g or 11g on Redhat Linux?

    Generally what are the steps to upgrade from 9,2.0.6 (HP-UX) to 10g or 11g on Redhat Linux?
    Can I exp the database on 9.2.0.6 (HP-UX) then imp the database to a new 10/11g database (RedHat Linux)?
    Is this the simplest way?

    To change platforms require the database instance be re-built and / or the data moved using one of the following methods:
    Export / Import to include the use of Datapump facilities. all versions support Export/Import but for Datapump 10.1.0.2 or higher is required
    Transportable Tablespaces 10G or Later
    RMAN Convert Database functions. 10G or Later
    Streams Replication
    Create Table As Select (CTAS)
    Oracle Golden Gate
    As your database is 9.2.0.6 you can only use export/import. Please refer to the MOS doc 733205.1 for further clarification

  • Can any one help me. I tried to install Oracel 8.1.5 on RedHat Linux 7.0 and failed.

    I am running my system with RedHat Linux 7.0 and tried to install Oracle 8.1.5.
    I extracted jre required files and when i tried to start ./runIns.sh from install/linux directory it is giving me an error Unable to initalize threads: cannot find class Java/lang/Thread
    Could not create JVM
    i tried 3 times and i ended up here and i need instruction to sort out the problem as earlier as possible.pls do advice me in this.
    pls send the solution ASAP to my email id - ([email protected])

    Make sure you have IBM's Java 1.1.8 JRE/JDK installed on your server and $JAVA_HOME set. Check the Oracle installation instructions. One other problem with Red Hat 7.0. is that
    there is a libc library incompatibility problem with Red Hat linux 7.0 and Oracle 8i. The database will not start after you install it. Go to MetaLink (if you have support) and search for document # 121176.1. Basically, you have to download an older version of glibc, modify your Oracle link environment files, re-link the database executables and all will work normally. I did it on my Red Hat Linux 7.0 server two weeks ago and everything is working fine. Only other alternative is downgrade to Red Hat 6.2.

    Oracle 8i is not compile/link time compatible with glibc 2.2. It
    requires the glibc 2.1 compatibility SDK, i386-glibc-2.1-linux.tar.gz,
    to install under systems based on glibc 2.2, like RedHat 7.0.
    RedHat 7.0 ships with glibc 2.2. Oracle compiles with glibc 2.1. See the problem here? The good folks at valinux.com have created a compatiblitly SDK that will "fix" Redhat so you can install Oracle 8i. Go to the following link to learn more:

    Vijaya zi,
    Are you still having problem..with this..let me know??
    first of all 8.1.7 , or 8.1.6. 8.1.5 neither one of these are certified to work with linux 7.0 Redhat.
    Secondly there is a work around you could try..assuming that you have set the enviroment varaible and JVM corrent..( let me know if you need help with this)
    here u go...
    There is this linux gnu lib file which oracle is looking for which was there in 6.x and not in 7.0.
    However if you have upgraded from 6.X linux to 7.0 then it will work..
    for some reason it is looking for this glibc file.
    either way the oracle message it is giving is not relavant...
    it is just not going to work...unless you find a way to implement that glibc file..
    I had link..which talk about the work around..

    WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
    The procedure for RedHat 7.0 is not officially approved by Oracle. If you are putting a mchine into production, I would strongly recommend sticking with RedHat 6.2 instead (and patching the security holes in it). There are other problems with RedHat 7.0 that extend beyond Oracle. Personally, I'm waiting for 7.1 before I think hard about migrating
    hope this help...
    NOTE ---> ORACLE DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS METHOD.

  • Oracle 8i Installation on Redhat Linux AS 3.0

    Hi guys,
    I am just doing some home work before installation of Oracle 8i Enterprise server on Redhat Linux AS 3.0. Before I started my work on this, I planned to install 8i on AIX 5L, which was a bad idea. Because 8i being a 32bit db and 5L being 64bit kernel, and also this combination is not supported. But with little tweeking and installing few patches, things should work.
    Anyway, I would like to know, if any of you have installed 8i on RH Linux AS 3.0, and do any of you think I need to worry about 32 & 64 bit? I am installing this combination on Compaq PL 6500 server, will there be any problem, because PL 6500 is 32 bit processor? Please pass on any information which can help me in a proper installtion, Thanks in Advance

    Joel,
    I am new to this company. This is my first year here, from last one and half year my company was trying to migrate from Informix to Oracle. After I joined I came to know that my predecessor started the project on 8i and left the project half way thru. Then I took over the project and completed the migration from Informix to Oracle. My company spent awful lot of money on this project due to lack technical know how and mislead by the technology staff who has no knowledge of oracle or UNIX (they are bunch of old NCR and Cobol guys here). So bottom line is if I submit a proposal to my boss of upgrading from 8i to 9i or 10g, which I will, probably won't be happy to see. But on the other hand we will loose support and left with no choice, I can only say that I am sorry for them.
    Anyway, this is just a part of disorganized IT shop we have here, it needs a major facelift, and I am just pushing one at a time. Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate.

  • Installing j2sdk1.3 on Redhat Linux 7.0

    I installed Redhat Linux 7.0 and now I'm trying to install the SDK 1.3. I downloaded the Linux version RPM shell script, but it is a .bin file and fails with unrecognized package when I issue the Linux command rpm -ivh filename. So then I downloaded the GNUZIP Tar shell script, but that gave me the same file name.(but the file lengths are different). I'm new to Linux. How do I install either of these versions?

    When I tried to run some application, I received the
    following error:
    "Segmentation fault"
    Is this error caused by Java Virtual Machine problem
    on Linux ?From <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/relnotes.html>
    * For Linux users - The newer glibc-2.2.x libraries cannot correctly handle initial thread stack sizes larger than 6 MB. This can cause a segmentation fault on come Linux platforms that use the newer libraries. Such platforms include Red Hat 7.0, Mandrake 8.0, SuSe 7.2, and Debian 2.2. The problem will not occur on Linux platforms that are using glibc-2.1.x such as Red Hat 6.1 and 6.2. It will also not affect Red Hat 7.1 because it uses a different thread stack layout. This problem is being tracked as bug 4466587.
    Workaround - Use "ulimit -s 2048" in bash shell or "limit stacksize 2048" in tcsh to limit the initial thread stack to 2 MB.
    If you add the command to ~/.bash_profile, it should run each time you login.

  • Installation of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3

    Hi,
    I am going to Install of oracle 10g on RedHat Linux EE 3, rigth now i am running oracle 9i on windows platform. I need following things:
    -I want to export all my data from oracle 9i on windows. For this what is the best way should i transport my tablespace and install oracle 10g on linux and import them after creating db or should i simply export and import it from there.
    -Is there any issues that i should look at before i transfer my database.
    -We are a Industrial Laboratory and use scientific notation in our database. Would this import export can takecare of all the things or should i set some character set setting before import/export.
    -Any thing else if you thing that i should take care.
    Thanks & Regard
    Rashid K.K

    You cannot use transportable tablespace. Platform independent transportable tablespace run only on newer versions (10g). You have to create the tablespaces on you linux machine and than exp/imp (full=y).

  • Problem installing Oracle 9.2 on RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0

    Hi everyone,
    As the subject line says, I tried installing Oracle 9.2 on
    RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0, strictly following instructions
    written by Werner Puschitz
    (http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml). Both
    attempts failed with identical symptoms:
    - the installer asks for Disk 2
    - after the disk is inserted, it hangs. It turns out that
    kernel is writing messages similar to these in
    /var/log/messages:
    Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: 16:00: rw=0, want=317696, limit=149920
    Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
    Unless interrupted, this continues until the /tmp filesystem gets full.
    Has anyone experienced this? I haven't been able to find
    an explanation so far.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Ljubomir Buturovic

    Providing a thread-bare configuration of your machine on which you are trying to install Oracle on Linux (and mind you - which kernel/distro, coz that's important) would definitely help you elicit more responses to your messages.

    Here is a step-by-step process for getting Oracle 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 working on systems with glibc 2.2 (don't bother with 8.1.5 if you can help it):
    1. Install the compat-glibc RPM for 2.1.3.x
    2. cd to the directory where compat-glibc installed the files (for me it's /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib).
    3. Copy the following files to $ORACLE_HOME/lib:
    libc-2.1.3.so
    libpthread.so
    libdl.so
    ld-linux.so.2
    For me, several of these are symbolic links, so you'll need to copy the target of the symbolic link and rename it to the link name when you copy it to $ORACLE_HOME/lib.
    For example, if ls -l shows:
    ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.1.3.so
    libc-2.1.3.so
    libdl.so -> libdl.so.2
    libpthread.so -> libpthread.so.0
    Then you will:
    cp ld-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/ld-linux.so.2
    cp libc-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib
    cp libdl.so.2 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libdl.so
    cp libpthread.so.0 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libpthread.so
    4. Create a file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib called libc.so with the following contents (as a single line):
    GROUP ( <OH>/lib/libc-2.1.3.so <OH>/lib/ld-linux.so.2 <CL>/libc_nonshared.a )
    Substitute the value of $ORACLE_HOME for <OH> and the location of the compat-glibc directory for <CL>. For example:
    My $ORACLE_HOME is:
    /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
    and my compat-glibc directory is:
    /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib
    so the GROUP line looks like this for me:
    GROUP (/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/libc-2.1.3.so /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/libc_nonshared.a)
    This is all one line.
    5. cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
    6. Run the following command from the UNIX prompt:
    relink all
    All of the Oracle software, including the assitants, will work fine now.
    null
