Ocfs2 RAC on Red hat linux 6 - kernel -- 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 -Oracle11gR2

Hello,
We want to use ocfs2 as the shared file system for running Oracle RAC 11gR2 on Red hat linux 6.
The red hat linux kernel is 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64.
I checked the ocfs2 download site and there is no ocfs2 rpms for Red hat 6, infact there are no ocfs2 rpms for Linux 6.
What options do I have if ...go down to Linux 5.x or move to Oracle linux 6.
If my understanding is correct Oracle linux 6 has ocfs2 in the kernel itself and does not need to be installed separately.
What other options do I have for having a shared file system .... ?
Please comment.
Thanks,
X.

Hi,
Please refer to Note 1365511.1 - How to Configure LUNs for ASM Disks using WWID, DM-Multipathing, and ASMLIB on RHEL 5/OL 5 and RHEL 6/OL 6 . That note can help you to install and configure ASM properly.
from the note:
" For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (beginning with 6.4) the kernel driver package 'kmod-oracleasm' is available directly from Red Hat, and can be installed from the "RHEL Server Supplementary (v. 6 64-bit x86_64)" channel on Red Hat Network (RHN). Updates to this module will be provided by Red Hat. Please check with your Red Hat advisor for questions concerning support of the kernel driver package. The 'oracleasmlib' and 'oracleasm-support' packages are maintained by Oracle; they are required in order to use kmod-oracleasm. "
Cheers,
Krisz

Kernel Parameters on Red Hat Linux

The installation instructions require us to set cetain kernel
parameters, such as SHMMAX, SHMSEG, SEMMNS, and so on.
Does anyone know how this is done for Red Hat Linux? I have
been hunting around the documentation and public domain web-
sites for a couple of weeks now and I haven't found any
reference to how to set these parameters.
Eternally grateful for any insights...
Cheers!

I had problems with 8i and 32Meg of SHMMAX (sometimes, when I
published an EJB, Oracle crashed). I didn't recompiled the
kernel, only did
echo 134217728 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax.
This limited the maximum shared memory to 128Meg (I installed
with JavaVM enabled), and I my problems got away.

TD340 Red Hat Linux 6.4 during start up give Kernel Panic

I am a newbie and please forgive my newness
I recently bought a TD340 with 32GB Ram, OB SAS RAID 300.
While using the ThinkServer EasyStart up to configure the installation of Red Hat Linux 6.4. I am able to finish the installation successfull, however, after the installation is completed and and Linux 6.4 boots up, in the middle of the start up a I get the following message:
Kernel Panic - not syncing - attempted to kill
Pid: 1 comm: init not tainted 2.6.39-400.17.1
Call Trace:
and it nevers boots up sucessfully.
Any help would be appreciated.

It clearly mentions its bootstrap issue in Java stack. The bootstrap log files can be found in /usr/sap/<SID>/JC<XX>/work/ folder.
dev_bootstrap* ; log_bootstrap* ; jvm_bootstrap*.
In one of these files, it will be mentioned, synchronization exception...Database initialization failed.
90% of the issue is caused dude to Database not getting initilized or its not connected or userauthorizations missing or driver class secured in the Secure store is incorrect.

Oracle 10g Installation on Red Hat Linux

Hi
I am trying to install Oracle 10g (Downloaded from Oracle Site) in a Linux Installation. I have checked with the following command about the Linux Version
# cat /etc/issue and the output is :
Red Hat Linux Release 7.1 (Seawolf)
Kernel 2.4.2-2 on an i686
Then I am giving #uname -r and the output is
2.4.2-2
Now Oracle Installation Guide for 10g for Linux is saying that
if the errata level is less than 25 on x86 system then install latest Kernel Updates.
Please Let me know from where I can get the Latest Kernel Updates appropriately and what I need to do to put that patch into Linux so that I can smoothly install the Oracle 10g.
Thanks and regards.
Keshav Tripathy

Jer is absolutely right.... just changing the values in oraparm.ini to reflect your kernel distribution will work for you.
For example the file contains:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3
now to add your linux into it just check your version by issuing the command #uname -r
in my case the output was "2.4.20-8smp". I just appended redhat before this value and entered in the oraparm.ini file.
The new ini file looks like:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3,redhat-2.4.20-8smp
[Linux-redhat-2.4.20-8smp-optional]
TEMP_SPACE=80
SWAP_SPACE=150
MIN_DISPLAY_COLORS=256
Now you are all set to install. I assume that all other pre-requisites have been fulfilled.

I don't think you need change that parameters and make.
there is a post not far from here says you can set those parameters in /etc/sysctrl.conf, then reboot.
I didn't set any parameters, I checked them, they are different
names from those in ICG, and for those with same names, they are much higher in my system. So, I just go with them, and OK.

Order of installing Windows XP, Solaris & Red Hat Linux...

Hi all,
If I were to install Windows XP, Red Hat Linux & Solaris in intel dual core machine, in which order do I proceed to install. First Windows XP, then Solaris & Linux, I believe. Am I right. If not, please correct me.
Thanks,
...

Although posted under different title and content, your most recent thread
Windows and Solaris not booting on a Windows, Solaris and Linux Machine.
is actually the duplicate of this thread.
The right order of install is Windows XP, RHEL, Solaris. Because, if the Linux is the last installed OS, the Linux version of GRUB will be installed on the MBR (Master Boot Record), and you will not be able to boot Solaris. Why? Because the Linux GRUB doesn't currently recognize Solaris VTOC (Volume Table Of Contents) and UFS (Universal Disk Format File System) formats. Only the Solaris version of GRUB works as common loader for Solaris and Linux. Since you installed Linux as the last OS (as per your duplicated thread), you can try to chainload from the Linux GRUB by modifying the grub.conf on Linux, eg:
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=2
timeout=15
color white/blue black/cyan
title Windows XP
     rootnoverify (hd0,0)
     chainloader +1
title Solaris 5.10
     root (hd0,1)
     makeactive
     chainloader +1
     boot
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
     root (hd0,2)
     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
     initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.imgwhere
(hd0) is the first (bootable) BIOS physical disk, and GRUB boot loader is installed on its MBR
(hd0,0) is the first primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Windows XP
(hd0,1) is the second primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Solaris 5.10
(hd0,2) is the third primary partition of the first BIOS disk - RHEL-4
Modify this according to your real disk partition map if it's necessary.
If this doesn't work (at least it should work for Windows and Linux), then I suggest reinstalling all three OSs from the ground up. A year ago I successfully installed Windows Server 2003, RHEL-4.5 and Solaris 10 on single 250 GB physical disk. You can follow my procedure. Before that, boot the system with the first RHEL-4 installation CD, type "linux rescue" and press Enter. When linux console appears, delete all partitions using fdisk. Or, alternatively, type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=2048This will erase your Master Boot Record and MBR Partition Table inside it, even much more filling out 2 MB continuous disk area with zeros. Restart the system, insert Windows installation media and start the procedure:
1. install Windows XP as the first OS. If it doesn't matter, create only one 25 GB C: drive on the entire primary partition rather than 10 GB C: and 15 GB D: drives, unless you are not sure Solaris had overwritten the D: drive on the extended partition
2. install RHEL-4 as the second OS. At this point you will be able to access Windows and RHEL-4 from GRUB. Boot RHEL-4 and navigate to /boot/grub/grub.conf. As you might need this information later, copy or make a note of the Linux entry on paper. The entry is something like this:
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
     root (hd0,1)
     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
     initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.img3. install Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) as the third OS. That way the Solaris version of GRUB will overwrite Linux GRUB in MBR and will be installed as the common loader for all three OSs. At this point your system might be set to boot all three operating systems. If not, you will be able to access the Solaris and Windows only. In that case boot Solaris, navigate to /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the Linux entry you copied from Linux grub.conf in the step 2. The next time you restart the system, you should be able to boot all three operating systems using Solaris version of GRUB.

Failed Installation of Oracle8i on Red Hat Linux 7.0

Hi,
I have successfully installed Oracle8i(8.1.6) Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 7.0 but while running the Database Configuration Assistant, it stops at the database initialization portion.

Richard,
It's a glib problem. 8i uses the glib 2.1 libraries, while RH7 uses the 2.2. There is a patch available from oracle support, or you can find a solution that has worked for me twice on the otn discussion forum.

Memory Problem with Oracle10g R2 and red Hat linux 2.4.21-37.EL

Hi All.
i've a 64Bit red Hat Linux 2.4.21-37.EL , 5GB Ram , 3GB Swap Space.
Oracle10g R2. i've 2 prodection database each is having 1400MB of SGA.
when i check the free meory it shows only 12mb of ram is free..why..?
and in swap space it's only 200mb is used...why..?
when i check the dbwither is taking 1.2GB of RAM why..?
can anybody help me in this ...how to get free memory or configure os level to get more free memory.

Linux uses Swap space to run applications. The RAM available may not be enough to run the applications so OS swaps the program between RAM and the swap space to run applications.
You can see your swap partition being used as the swap space with:
cat /proc/swaps

Installing Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2. But when I run the runInstaller
command it gives the following error & quit.
[oracle@localhost cdrom]$ ./runInstaller
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad address
And I tried to run the Installer with jre1.1.6 & jre 1.1.7. Both producing the same
error.
You may think why I'm using the old version of Oracle. It's an urgent need for
me at the moment.
Hope someone could guide me in the correct path to install.
Thx in advance.

Due to a software requirement, I have to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. (I know Oracle 8.0.5 is pretty old and so as RH Linux 7.0 but that is what required).
I downloaded the Oracle8051EE_Intel.tgz from Oracle and tried to installed it but it didn't work.
It crashed out when it tried to run some of the SQL script during the installation using SVRMGRL. Later on, we found out all the binaries under $ORACLE_HOME/bin were corrupted during the installation. We did a comparison of the size of SVRMGRL and SQLPLUS and they are different from the Stage (or the one from the .tgz).
Does anyone have this problem before? Will 8.0.5 works on Linux 7.0?
Thanks in advanced for any help.
Best regards,
William

I'm having the same exact problem. The link you have provided
seems to be a bad link. I would really appreciate it alot if you
could help get us through this first step of starting the oracle
installer interface. I never thought it would be this hard to
get started.

Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat Linux on a Dell Poweredge

We have a Dell PowerEdge 6400 server with PERC 2/DC raid
controllers.
We have installed Red Hat Linux 6.2.
According to the installation guide in order to install Oracle
8.1.7 we need to recompile the Kernal to get to version 2.2.19-
6.2.7.
Recompiling the Kernal causes a failure in the Raid controllers.
I realise that this isn't strictly Oracle but I wondered if
anyone had met this problem before. It appears virtually
impossible to configure this combination to support Oracle.

Yes there is a lot of information out there. Oracle 8.1.6,
8.1.7, 9 on Linux 6, 7, 9.
Which glibc? binutils? compat-libs?
For 8.1.7 on Redhat 9

Still evolving. Feedback welcome :)
