New to Oracle on Linux

I am running Redhat Enterprise Linux 3. I have Oracle 9.2 installed and want Oracle to start as a service when the machine boots. It would be nice for it to stop as well :-) when the machine goes down.
I am sure that /etc/rc.d/init.d needs to be updated.
Thanks in advance.

Since its running at startup it needs to have the basics putinto your startup script. Like ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME.
Place this file init.oracle in /etc/init.d
run
chkconfig --add init.oracle
to make it run at startup.
# RHAS 3.0 and Oracle 9.2.0
# autostart oracle database and listener
ORA_HOME=/opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
ORA_OWNER=oracle
if [ ! -f /opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/dbstart ]
then
echo "Oracle Auto Startup: CANNOT START"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
su - oracle -c "/opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/dbstart &"
su - oracle -c "/opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/lsnrctl start listener"

What's new in Oracle Linux 6.4?

Any new additions to DTrace?

Ok, thanks, that's a useful reference. It seems to answer the DTrace question: nothing new in this release. The packages haven't been updated for months either: https://oss.oracle.com/git/.
I was excited by the InfoWorld article running today with the subtitle "Oracle has completed work on bringing to Linux a version of the widely coveted DTrace tool". Last update was partial, not complete, so this title is very misleading.
InfoWorld has a comments section: (http://www.infoworld.com/d/application-development/oracle-ports-dtrace-oracle-linux-213759?page=0,0). I suggest that someone with authority on the matter post a comment to clear up the confusion.

Move DB to new server - Oracle Linux 4 old, Oracle Linux 5 on New

We are planning on moving our Datawarehouse db to a new server.
The old server has Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 and our server admin, using her infinite wisdom and after we agreed to keep the O/S the same - installed Oracle Linux 5.
I was planning on installing the oracle_home, etc. all with the exact same names, the mount points would be the same so in theory, just start the db on the new server.
Now that its a different version of the O/S - will it work?
Has anyone tried this before?
I will be trying with a small test DB but don't want to run into any gotchas when I try to "move" the 2.5t datawarehouse db.
Thanks.

Its certified, db version 10.2.0.4 but just about everything I've read via google etc. says if the db thinks the O/S is different, you have to use either exp/imp, datapump or tablespace move from one db to the other (really a copy and we don't have the disk space).
Thanks.

Yast installation problem on Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2

Hi,
I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2 on a new server (Intel 64 bit) with the downloads from oracle
(Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc1.iso till Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc6.iso).
Then I wanted to install Yast for administering my machine and downloaded yast_el5_x86_64.tar, again from Oracle. Running the Yast install routine it required the perl-Digest-SHA package. I downloaded that from Oracle ULN and installed it.
Now, running the Yast install routine again, I get a bunch of warnings and errors about failed dependencies and NOKEY's.
Here I copied a part of it:

What's wrong here and what is to do?
I only installed packages from Oracle on a newly installed machine. And I didn't find documentation regarding these problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Roger

Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 Installation Fails during Disk Partitioning

Hi,
I've tried to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 by creating a Virtual Machine using Oracle VM Virtual Box in my laptop with Window XP host OS (NTFS filesystem), by following the below steps.
1) Installed Oracle VM Virtual Box
2) Created a new Virtual machine using a virtual box by specifying the two .iso images i.e OracleLinux-R6-U1-Server-i386-dvd.iso and boot.iso as the boot device and by specifying the following Disk files (.vdi) as follows.
2.1) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Root_Disk_1.vdi - For the / (i.e Root) partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
2.2) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Swap_Disk_1.vdi - For the swap partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - swap
2.3) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_User_Disk_1.vdi - For the /usr partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 20 GB - ext4
2.4) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Home_Disk_1.vdi - For the /home partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
But while installing OEL 6.1 after specifying the partitions, the installer get hung and throws an error as bug while creating the ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda1.
I tried to specify the default 8 GB for all the above four partitions, the installer successfully continues without any issues. But if i specify any partition more than 8 GB, it fails.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem by creating the above specified partitions with the above size ? Why does it fail if i specify any size more than 8 GB ?
Thanks
Harish

8 GB is a common limit for systems were the boot loader or system BIOS imposes an addressable space limit for the boot partition. In such situations, the system boot partition has to fit within the first 8 GB physical boundary of the harddrive.
Your setup seems a bit unusual. Why do you create separate disks for each Linux partition?
Normally the Linux installer creates necessary partitions on the disk, including a /boot partition that is usually only 100 MB in size.
What are you doing with boot.iso? You should be able to start the system from the main installation DVD or .iso image. You might also want to install x86_64 Linux, unless your hardware is really very old and does not support the 64-bit extension. You can run 32-bit software on a n 64-bit OS, but not the other way around and you will limit your software to 32-bit only.

Guide to installing XE and Apex on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 (64 bit)

I have just been through a time consuming and frustrating process of installing Oracle XE 10gR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 x86-64 and I want to share my experience so that others can benefit from it and overcome the same problems more quickly.
Prior to starting I had installed OEL 5.3 and been using it for a few days. The system I am using is a home built box with an AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition, 8 Gb RAM, Highpoint RR2680 RAID controller with 4 1TB disks in a RAID5 array and an additional 320Gb HDD storing the OS. I am using KDE3.5 on the desktop.
The main problem I encountered was with SELinux. As I eventually intend to have this system exposed on the Internet I was reluctant to switch it off despite having read extensively about the issues surrounding it and Oracle. I had several failed attempts at the installation process before succumbing to the reality that SELinux and Oracle are not happy bedfellows. I decided to switch SELinux to permissive mode having followed the advice here.
I found a very helpful guide to installing XE on Linux here as part of the installation of an application called Spacewalk. Note that you do not need to complete the whole Spacewalk installation, but just follow the instructions in the linked page.
Before you start you need to ensure that the UID of your oracle user is less than 500. Mine was 500, so I used the following commands to fix this:
usermod -u 250 oracle
find / -uid 500 -exec chown oracle {} \;
These change the oracle UID to 250 (but check that isn't already used first!) and the find command searches for all files that were owned by oracle (but weren't after the usermod cmd) and changes them back to oracle's ownership.
Now follow the Spacewalk instructions until you reach the Server Setup section. Before you do this you need to make a couple of changes to the script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe. I found these changes in various places, such as [link(1)|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1345771&#1345771] and [link(2)|http://dbataj.blogspot.com/2008/08/lblibrarypath-is-not-set-on-startup.html].
Note that in link(1) the oracle-xe-selinux packages installed have the same effect as the chcon command on the shared libraries so it isn't necessary to perform this step.
Open /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in vi (or your favourite editor) and do the following:
line 49: change /bin/su to /sbin/runuser
after line 52 (export PATH...) add the following lines:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
There are further changes recommended to /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in [this post|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3201491&#3201491] but I haven't done them yet.
Having done the above changes you can now configure Oracle XE by running /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure (as root!). As I have Apache Tomcat running on port 8080 I changed the default HTTP port to 8500 but kept the listener on its default port of 1521. Once the confuration script is done you will need to change the ports SELinux uses for Oracle as follows:
semanage port -d -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 9000 - deletes port 9000, which is the SELinux default port for Apex
semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 1521 - ensure that listener port is OK (assuming you used default of 1521, change accordingly if you didn't)
semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 8500 - add the new Apex HTTP port to SELinux
After all this running:
semanage port -l | grep oracle
should show you:
oracle_port_t tcp 1521, 8500
I ignored the TNSNAMES.ORA part of the Spacewalk instructions and proceeded with the 'Client setup on 64bit platform' and 'Configuring sqlplus' sections.
For the latter I created a bash script which I have made available in the oracle user and my own user's home directories:
cat > configure_oracle_10g_xe.sh
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
ORACLE_SID=XE
export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I did this as I intend to install other Oracle databases, e.g. 11gR2, on this box later so I didn't want to put the above in .bashrc.
Having done the above you should be able to log into the database using sqlplus and the XE setup is complete.
The upgrade of Apex 2.2 to Apex 3.2.1 was fairly painless so I won't go into much detail about it - just follow the instructions provided by Oracle.
The only issue I had was right at the end of the process and is documented and answered in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=958611&tstart=0].
That's it - I hope somebody will find this useful.

On Oracle Metalink site, there are many documents which says that Oracle 32 bit software works on 32 bits OS and 64 bits software works on 64 bits OS. Official support is only in those combination....
So there is no good way to help you in your case-XE is 32 bit application with hard codded compiled libraries which most of them would not work on 64 bit OS.
Sorry

How to install Oracle Enterprised Linux on VMware PLayer 4

Hi Everyone,
My name is John and I've a small issue which I would like to share with you and hopefully, you are able to assist.
My laptop is installed with a Window 7 Home Edition operating system and I've installed VMware-player-4.0.2. After reboot, I've also downloaded the file - V29609-01 which is the ISO file of Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2.
After that, I've tried to create a Virtual Machine - Oracle Enterprise Linux using the VMware Player by specifying the path and file name of the V29609-01.iso file on my local c:\ drive. I've tried it several times, but every time it just returns the message - 'pxe-e53 no boot filename received' and it just hangs there without proceeding further. Please let me know what I've done wrong and the correct steps and procedures to solve this problem as this is my first time installing a Linux operating system. Thank you for your assistance.
Regards,
John

Hi,
Can you clarify and explain what is your exact meaning of 'Are you sure you've added the ISO to the VM to boot from?'? Because the following is what I did:
1.) Click the Create A New Virtual Machine.
2.) Select the 'Install disc image file (iso):' option and enter the full path of the V29609-01.iso (Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2) file that I've downloaded from https://edelivery.oracle.com/. But underneath it, that is a message saying - 'Could not detect which operating systems is in this dsic image. You will need to specify which operating system will be installed.'
3.) Click 'Next'.
4.) I chose "Linux' under the Guest operating system and chose 'Oracle Enterprise Linux' under the Version drop down.
5.) Click 'Next'.
6.) I left the Virtual machine name as 'Oracle Enterprise Linux' and click 'Next'.
7.) I set the Maximum disk size to 300 GB and have the 'Split virtual disk into multiple files' option selected and click 'Next'.
8.) I have the 'Power on this virtual machine after creation' checked and click 'Finish'.
9.) A black screen displayed inside the VMware Player saying:
'CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 0C 289 ......
PXE-E53: No Boot filename received
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
Operating System not found
10.) And the process just hangs there.
Regards,
John

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error on Oracle Enterprise Linux

hi,
I am getting -
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when I try to connect the Db installed on Oracle Enterprise Linux from other machines.
I made all the .bash_profile changes and created one shared listener also to check whether there is any problem with the dedicated default listener or its port.
Please suggest the solution .

You need to open the firewall on OEL.
Edit the contents of /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. I added the line in bold:
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
*filter

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state state NEW -m tcp -p tcp dport 445 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT
As you can see, my listener port is 1521.
Do not put that line after the line with REJECT keyword ( it won't work then) !
Save and close the file. Restart iptables:
/etc/init.d/iptables restart
Now you can connect from the outside.
It works on my OEL version 5 update 4.

Diff between oracle linux and oracle enterprise linux?

hi all,
i am new to this flavor of Linux. I know oracle linux has red hat source, but i am confused about the difference betweek oracle linux which comes in versions 4 (upto update 8) and 5 (latest update being 5).
i need to install oracle enterprise linux at a client place, so i gota know the difference.
Should i be installing oracle Linux first and then run the rpm of "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel"? or is the "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" only for customers who require this kernal on oracle linux update 5 x86_64?
thanks

From what I understand Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) is a rebranded version of Red hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Oracle Linux (OL) is OEL plus Oracle optimization and custom, newer kernel. OL with Oracle "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" is available as x86_64 only and was introduced based on OEL or RHEL 5.5.
You can install OEL 5.4 and easily upgrade to OEL 5.5, PMFJI, but can you point me to docs on how to make that upgrade? The timing of this msg on the forum was exquisite, as I started looking at that just today. I have an OEL 5.4 installation and would much rather upgrade to 5.5 than to have to rebuild from scratch.
I did a yum install kernel with the 5.5 version of the public-yum-el5.repo. That went without a hitch and now reports "2.6.32-100.0.19.el5 #1" where I was 2.6.18-164.el5, but I also see
[root@myserver ~]# uname -a
Linux myserver 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5 #1 SMP Fri Sep 17 17:51:41 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@myserver ~]# cat /etc/enterprise-release
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage)
[root@myserver ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)Bottom line is that I am charged with updating the kernel to a 2.6 version newer than 19 Sep, or applying a patch for the compat_alloc_user_space() function, and am not sure exactly how to proceed from here.
if you like or start to install from version 5.5, and then install OL 5.5 by downloading the Oracle public yum repository and follow the instructions at http://public-yum.oracle.com

Oracle 8i linux version

Dear all
I got a Oracle 8i EE license and was installed at a Sun system. However, I want to migrate such Oracle to Linux environment (The Oracle maintenance was expired). So, anyone has the Oracle 8i EE Linux version which can be downloaded for my new installation.
Thanks

You still should contact your Oracle sales representative.
Oracle no longer officially provides copies of obsolete versions of software, such as database versions 8.1.x or 9.0.x ... the only way to get such copies is by the kindness of strangers who might have such copies. Those strangers include your sales rep.

Oracle 11g on Oracle Unbreakable Linux

OK,
I have installed 11g on a new installation of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5. Everything seemed to go OK except the swap space was set to 2Gb and 11g wanted 3.4Gb. The documentation I found on ONT said that was fine and normal as the default install gives only 2Gb. I created a startup DB of JSI. I can connect to is using sqlplus user@JSI. However, when I try to connect using ..... $ sqlplus user/password@host:1521/JSI I get this error....
ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA
I am also having other issue but want to look at the one at a time to see if on fixes the other.

Thanks for the help and suggestions. Here is what I get when I give the lsnrctl serv...
