No ASMLIB for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel - over-sight or ASMLib death?

Got excited reading about the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, but no asmlib drivers available.
ASMLib kicked off with a roar a few years ago, and it is great - better than UDEV for configuring storage devices for Oracle in my opinion - but the OTN ASMLib page is now buried away - takes ages to find it ( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/asmlib/index-101839.html ) and hasn't been updated in ages and neither has the ASMLIB project OSS page http://oss.oracle.com/projects/oracleasm-support/.
So is the lack of an ASMLib driver for UEK just an oversight or are we seeing the demise of ASMLib?

The ASMLib driver is built as part of the kernel. When you install the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, it's included in the package. Just go right ahead and start it up!
We're updating the online documentation over the next week or so to reflect this. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: No ASMLIB for Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel - over-sight or ASMLib death?

Hi,
I originally resurrected a years-old thread that was down in the Oracle Linux forum that was vaguely related to my question but a kind forum moderator split my post away to let it stand on its own -- then moved it to the RAC installation forum where I should have gone to begin with.
Anyhow, here's my post ...
I am trying to setup Oracle RAC 11gR2 as a prototype on one of the development machine.
During installation/configuration I am facing problems for ASMLib i.e. the asmlib not available. The oracle linux version is 6.1 and the kernel version is is 2.6.32-100.34.1.el6uek.x86_64 x86_64.
Can you please guide me how to check and install the ubreakable enterpise kernel has got all the required packages with respect to asm configuration.
Please accept apology as I am new to Oracle Linux and not fully aware of the unbreakable Enterprise kernel.
Your help, guidance and reply would be appreciated.
Regards,
Waseem Shahzad.

ACFS and Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel

Is supported ACFS on Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
I get this errror:
ACFS-9459: ADVM/ACFS is not supported on this OS version: '2.6.32-100.20.1.el5
Thanks,

In 11.2.0.2, ACFS is not yet supported on the new Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel - 2.6.32. Supported Linux platforms are:
Enterprise Linux 5 - 2.6.18 kernel series
SLES10 SP3 x86_64 - 2.6.16 kernel series

Re: Beta 1 of Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 now available

Hi there Upgraded Oracle Linux To UeK3 but no sign of dtrace command neither btrfs any tips?
Thank you in advance

> dtrace -n 'proc:::exec-success { trace(curpsinfo->pr_psargs); }'
Do you have the sdt kernel module loaded?
> dtrace -n 'syscall:::entry { @num[execname] = count(); }'
Can you elaborate on what you mean with 'no output'? Did it display a message saying how many probes matched the probe specification? Did it provide output when you Ctrl-C the dtrace process?
> dtrace -n 'sysinfo:::readch { @bytes[execname] = sum(arg0); }'
The sysinfo provider is not available for Linux yet. It is not listed as a supported provider in any documentation for DTrace for Linux to my knowledge.
> dtrace -p 2952
Userspace tracing is currently limited to USDT probes (i.e. userspace statically defined probed). The full support for arbitrary probing is in the works.
Hope this helps,
Kris

Upgrading Oracle Linux with Oracle Unbreakable Linux Kernel

Hi all.
I'd like to upgrade an Oracle Linux OS with unbreakable linux kernel.
Current version is :
[oracle@union ~]$ uname -r

Which steps needs to be performed?.
I know i must be at 2.6.32. Also Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is available for x86-64 servers.
Q: How do i know if my distro is x86 or x86-64?

Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Linux come with an ndiswrapper kernel module?

Hello
Does Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Linux come with an ndiswrapper kernel module?
Does Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Linux come with a package for the ndiswrapper kernel module that matches the kernel version?
What wireless driver is compatible with Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Linux?

Hi,
Oracle Unbreakable Linux does not come with any ndiswrapper kernel module and any package for ndiswrapper module. But it includes many wireless network drivers. You can look at them from kernel package. For example
rpm -qlp kernel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm |grep wireless
From the output, you can find which wireless drivers are coming with Oracle Unbreakable Linux kernel.

Tenaro,
Additionally here are the most common login issues. Unfortunately this includes items related to Presence implementation but I commented where we did not use these in our lab setup for CUCM Phone Capabilities only.
Login Issues
Problem:
Jabber Unable to Sign-in Through MRA
Solution
This can be caused by a number of things, a few of which are outlined below.
1. Collaboration Edge SRV record not created and/or port 8443 unreachable
For a jabber client to be able to login successfully using MRA, a specific collaboration edge SRV record must be created and accessible externally. When a jabber client is initially started it will make server DNS SRV queries:
_cisco-uds : this SRV record is used to determine if a CUCM server is available.
_cuplogin : this SRV record is used to determine if an IM&P server is available.
_collab-edge : this SRV record is used to determine if MRA is available.
If the jabber client is started and does not receive an SRV answer for _cisco-uds and _cuplogin, and does receive an answer for _collab-edge then it will use this answer to try to contact the Expressway-E listed in the SRV answer.
The _collab-edge SRV record should point to the FQDN of the Expressway-E using port 8443. If the _collab-edge SRV is not created, or is not externally available, or if it is available, but port 8443 is not reachable, then the jabber client will fail to login.
2.  Unacceptable or No Available Certificate on VCS Expressway
After the jabber client has received an answer for _collab-edge, it will then contact the expressway using TLS over port 8443 to try to retrieve the certificate from the expressway to setup TLS for communication between the jabber client and the expressway.
If the Expressway does not have a valid signed certificate that contains either the FQDN or domain of the Expressway, then this will fail and the jabber client will fail to login.
If this is occurring, the you should use the CSR tool on the Expressway, which will automatically include the FQDN of the expressway as a Subject Alternative Name.
MRA requires secure communication between the Expressway-C and Expressway-E, and between the Expressway-E and external endpoints.
Expressway-C Server Certificate Requirements:
The Chat Node Aliases configured on the IM&P servers. This is required if you are doing XMPP federation. The Expressway-C should automatically include these in the CSR provided that an IM&P server has already been discovered on the Expressway-C.
The names in FQDN format of all Phone Security Profiles in CUCM configured for TLS and used on devices configured for MRA. This allows for secure communication between the CUCM and Expressway-C for the devices using those Phone Security Profiles.
Expressway-E Server Certificate Requirements:
All domains configured for Unified Communications. This includes the domain of the Expressway-E and C, e-mail address domain configured for Jabber, and any presence domains.
The Chat Node Aliases configured on the IM&P servers. This is required if you are doing XMPP federation.
The MRA Deployment guide describes this in greater detail on pages 17-18. (http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/expressway/config_guide/X8-1/Mobile-Remote-Ac...
Note: In our lab for testing Phone Capabilities only, we did not include the Chat Node Aliases in the certificate as we were not using IM&P.
3.  No UDS Servers Found in Edge Config
After the Jabber client successfully establishes a secure connection with the Expressway-E, it will ask for its edge config. This edge config will contain the SRV records for _cuplogin and _cisco-uds. If these SRV records are not returned in the edge config, then the jabber client will not be able to proceed with trying to login.
To fix this, make sure that _cisco-uds and _cuplogin SRV records are created internally and resolvable by the Expressway-C
More information on the DNS SRV records can be found on page 10 of the MRA deployment guide for X8.1.1 (http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/expressway/config_guide/X8-1/Mobile-Remote-Access-via-Expressway-Deployment-Guide-X8-1-1.pdf)
Note: In our lab for testing Phone Capabilities only, we did not include the DNS SRV for _cuplogin.
4.  The Expressway-C logs will indicate the following error: XCP_JABBERD Detail="Unable to connect to host '%IP%', port 7400:(111) Connection refused"
If Expressway-E NIC is incorrectly configured, this can cause the XCP server to not be updated. If the Expressway-E meets the following criteria, then you will likely have this issue:
Using a single NIC
Advanced Networking Option Key is installed
Use Dual Network Interfaces option is set to “Yes”
To correct this problem, change the “Use Dual Network Interfaces” option to “No”
The reason this is a problem is because the Expressway-E will be listening for the XCP session on the wrong network interface, which will cause the connection to fail/timeout. The Expressway-E listens on TCP port 7400 for the XCP session. You can verify this by using the netstat command from the VCS as root.
Note: We used a Dual Network Interface Expressway for testing but were not using XCP, so this was not applicable to us.
5.  VCE-E Server hostname/domain name does not match what is configured in the _collab-edge SRV.
If the Expressway-E Server hostname/domain name does not match what was received in the _collab-edge SRV answer, the jabber client will not be able to communicate to the Expressway-E. The Jabber client uses the xmppEdgeServer/Address element in the get_edge_config response to establish the XMPP connection to the Expressway-E.
This is an example of what the xmppEdgeServer/Address would look like in the get_edge_config response from the Expressway-E to the Jabber client:
<xmppEdgeServer>
<server>
<address>ott-vcse1.vcx.cisco.com</address>
<tlsPort>5222</tlsPort>
</server>
</xmppEdgeServer>
To avoid this, make sure that the _collab-edge SRV record matches the Expressway-E hostname/domain name. Enhancement CSCuo83458 has been filed for this.
Note: This was one of our issues when we first setup. We adjusted our Expressway-E to insure the below:
System > Administration > System Name this was the FQDN
System > DNS > System Host Name was the host portion of the FQDN
System > DNS > Domain Name was the domain portion of the FQDN
System > Clustering > Cluster Name (FQDN for Provisioning) was the FQDN
6. Unable to log into certain IM&P servers. VCS logs say "No realm found for host cups-example.domain.com, check connect auth configuration"
From the Expressway-E, go to Configuration -> Unified Communications -> IM&P Servers. Open each server and click "Save" again. Not sure exactly why this happens.
Note: This was N/A to our test and can be ignored with Phone Capabilities only.
Thanks
Fred

System requirements for BO Enterprise XI 3.0 with 3 cloned webi services

Helllo,
I'm wondering what the system requirements would be for a server to host a BO Enterprise system (XI 3.0) if it is connected to a SAP BW system.
The system should be able to cope with around 150 to 200 calls/requests maximum at a time.
The users log in into SAP and launches a request via an SAP screen with behind that an URL request that is constructed based on a guest account (max 200 requests at the time) for BO. Because it is always the same account (Guest) that is used over and over again I'm wondering what kind of additional requirements the system should support.
We did some stresstesting with 120 simultaneous users. Even with 3 cloned web intelligence processing servers it blocked several times.
For the moment it is running on following hardware specifications:
HRBOXI (Dell PowerEdge 2950 (Servicetag: GMZ834J))
Memory: 8 memory slots available on motherboard of which 2 are used (each is 2GB) Total available memory at this moment is 4GB.
CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon E5420 (quad core). There are 2 CPU sockets on the motherboard that are in use.
Disks: 2 x 146GB (15K) SAS
On that there is a 32bit operating system in use. We would like to start with upgrading that to 64 bit OS.
Can someone tell me if this machine is suitable for production purposes for BO Enterprise linked to an SAP BW on mainly HR-data? I mean by that does this machine has enough processors to be able to cope with 3 cloned webintelligence services at a time. And also enough RAM memory?
Many thanks Thierry Renaer

Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?

Dear,
Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux Kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?
If supported, please point to the download link.
We require this in order to plan for the OEL 5.5 kernel upgrade to ULK and to connect SUN SAN storage array 6180.
Thanks,
...basha

From what I can gather you will need to compile the driver from source in order to use the RDAC driver with the UEK kernel. Chances are that it won't compile properly under the UEK kernel, which is more up to date than the RHEL kernel.
You will have to start the system from the supplied original RHEL kernel in order to use the binary IBM RDAC driver distribution. The following is available: http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds4000.aspx and http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds3000.aspx
You may however be able to use Multipath, which is build in also in the UEK kernel. To get the current supported configurations for IBM System Storage it is best to use the interoperability matrices located at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/product/interop.html. You can use the link to the "System Storage Interoperation Center (SSIC)" to query your specific configuration (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/ssic/interoperability.wss)

Suitable for big enterprise applications?

Hello,
I am an advocate of Apex in our Oracle Forms shop, but received the following statement: "I am afraid that because of its 2 tier architecture (entire processing is taking place in the DB) it is not suitable for big enterprise applications".
Please help me respond to this.
Not by saying "yes, it is" or "no, it is not, the person is right", but by saying why it is or it is not.
References would be nice too.
Thanks very much, in advance,
Gabor

As the Director of IT for my company, here's why we use APEX as our main data entry/reporting solution:
1) Centralized data. All the data resides in a single place. No duplication and no wondering "Is this everything?"
2) Anywhere access. Because it is web/browser based, your users can gain access to the system whether at work or on the road. My company operates in the transportation industry across more than 8 states and we support many traveling managers. Web-based access and wireless connectivity enable them to be anywhere and get access to real-time data.
3) Instant deployment and updates. With APEX, content and new functionality can be instantly deployed across an entire organization without the need for expensive software management agents. It also eliminates versioning problems because it ensures everyone is using the same version. You can't do it that simply with a normal enterprise application.
4) Cross-platform Compatability. Again, because everything is browser-/standards-based, users can use Apple, Windows, Linux, smartphones, etc. Most standard applications have to have specific components written to interact with each type of device or operating system. With web applications, you can develop once and deliver everywhere.
5) Rapid development. I can have a basic application developed including table definitions, etc. in a matter of days BY MYSELF.
About the comment, I'd like to know what types of enterprise applications AREN'T 2-tiered or even 3-tiered applications? You have a presentation layer and a data layer in all applications; the application doesn't house the data itself. The main difference between APEX and many other applications is the delivery method: instead of a proprietary/internal transfer of data between the data layer and the presentation layer, it's being run out over the Internet. Frankly, the concern isn't about the tiers, it's about something else and the objector doesn't want to tell you the real reason.

Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Linux!

How many of you uses "Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Linux"? I am just curious as Linux user for many years, I like it stable and with a very nice look and feel Linux and because of that I just wanted to know how many more for you uses it.
Looking forward to see the number or responses counting up. :-)

Not I, it's CentOS or RHEL for me. I just don't see the point in the Oracle distro until they get it so that you don't need to do prereqs to install Oracle.

Buying in the Mac App Store for the enterprise

We're looking to buy an app in the Mac App Store (iBarcoder) for our graphic designers using Macs, and after read this article on Macworld.com, we're not too sure how to go about it.
Does that mean I could buy one copy of an app and install it on every Mac in my business?
No, the license you agree to when you enter the Mac App Store says that app downloads are for Macs that you personally own, and that's a license for personal use. Apps that are intended for professional use are licensed for you or for a single computer used by several people. While there's no technical impediment to you installing them on multiple Macs at work, you'll be violating the license agreement. It's the same scenario as if you buy a single-user copy of iWork and install it on ten Macs at work—you can do it, but you're violating the license agreement, making the act ethically questionable.
We know about the volume licensing that Apple offers, but it seems as though it's only for education and not for the enterprise. Surely creating a new Apple ID for every Mac isn't the best way to do this, right?
Thanks!

I have a new Samsung phone and I live in CT. Last month they charged me $38 on my bill for the sales tax for the new phone which was $600. I'm paying for the phone itself over 20 installments of $30 each. Now again I'm getting that same $38 charge. I can't believe that the monthly CT tax is higher than the payment for the phone itself. Does this make sense. Last time I spoke with them on the phone it was for 1 1/4 hours for something simple. I don't want to call unless I need to. The salesman told me nothing about any of this. Thank you for any help you can offer.

The bill from last month states:
CT state sales tax** $38.10
** In some states sales tax or surcharges are calculated on the full cost of the full retail price or VZW cost of the device you purchased and not on the discounted price you pay. The sales tax or surcharges charged on your device was based on $599.99 and appears on this first bill.
The current bill says the same.
Actually, now I'm realizing that last month's bill stated I was making the first payment toward the phone. Now this month also says it's the first payment toward the phone when it's really the second.
