OEL 5.5 11gR2 Validated RPM Missing Dependencies

OEL 5.5 attempting to install 11gR2. We are getting dependency errors when trying to run the validated rpm. The errors are when trying to find glibc and glibc-headers. It appears that we have only the x86_64 and i686 versions of glibc, but not the i386 version. We have checked the install disk as well as using yum and neither have the i386 version. How do we resolve this dependency? Below are the error messages.

Hi user;
Please try below query to can find your rpm on your system:
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n" | grep libaio
libaio-0.3.105.2 (i386)
libaio-0.3.105.2 (x86_64)
I made 11gr2 installation on OEL and i could find all related rmp on disk, i didnt use yum future for my issue. Be sure you have all prerequest

Is anyone else having trouble with 2.6.32-100.28.9.el5?

One of our sys admins has some input on this. Starting to make sense.
Looks like maybe this kernel is missing the device mapper info.
*.203 + *.205:
Now regarding the issue with this and the *.205 server post kernel
updates + reboot (kernel panic due to the system not being able to load
/), I think this was due to some needed device mapper modules being
missing from the initrd of the new kernel (see below for the details).
As per lenny, I've updated the grub configs on *.205 to load the old
kernel (default=1 in /boot/grub/grub.conf; the system was restored by
booting back to the previous kernel) for now:

Missing Dependency while installing validated rpm

I installed the Oracle Linux 5.5 with the base package and software development option. Then I downloaded the validated rpm oracle-validated-1.0.0.-22.el5.i386.rpm
root] yum install ./oracle-validated-1.0.0-22.el5.i386.rpm
Missing Dependency: unixODBC-devel is needed by package ....
Missing Dependency: sysstat is needed by package .....
Please help. Thanks

It's probably also not the most up2date version:
# yum list oracle-validated
Loaded plugins: security
Installed Packages
oracle-validated.x86_64 1.1.0-3.el5 installedUnless you haven't done it yet, you might want to check http://public-yum.oracle.com and follow the instructions. You can then use yum to install or update software packages, rather than having to download rpm packages manually. Yum will automatically fetch/upgrade the latest versions and solve package dependencies for you. Don't forget step no 3 to enable the sections [el5_oracle_addons] [el5_addons] [el5_u5_base] and [ol5_u5_base] if you wish to install the new Oracle optimized kernel.
after that it's simply
# yum install oracle-validated
# yum install sysstat
# yum install unixODBC-develEdited by: Markus Waldorf on Sep 29, 2010 12:39 PM

Oracle-Validated RPM install on OEL 4.5 x64

I've had problems trying to install the Oracle-Validated RPM on OEL 4.5 x64. Up2Date would hang. Anyone else try using the RPM on OEL 4.5?

Sergio,
I reran the commands today and they work fine. It must have been a glitch in the network. Thanks.
Any word on the update of the RPM for OEL 5.0? Is this going to be released to the Open Source or is this specific for OEL? I wanted to start using this on RHEL and Centos.

OEL 5.8 Oracle Validated Install

I'm trying to setup Oracle Database on an Oracle Minimal stripped down install of linux 5.8 64-bit where internt access seems blocked. Since it lacks internet access, I managed a work around by setting up a local yum repository from the OEL 5.8 Install disc rpm(MOS ID: 579101.1). now before i run a localinstall of oracle-validated package, I need to have glibc-devel-2.5-81.i386.rpm and glibc-devel-2.5-81.x86_64.rpm packages installed. These packaged throw me dependency errors. Seems like almost every package the Oracle Database needs this libraries so theres no work to skip these. However ever dependent package i try to install throws dependency errors. I've tried installing all of them together. That doesn't work either.

Oracle Validated RPM - Which to download?

I'm preparing a couple Linux x86_64 servers for building a RAC cluster and thought I'd give the Oracle Validated RPM a try.
The specifics -
Red Hat Linux RHEL 5.5 (kernel level 2.6.18-194)
Oracle Grid Infrastructure release 11.2.0.2.2
Oracle Database release 11.2.0.2.2
I am not a member of OLN, I don't use the Oracle Unbreakable Kernel and I don't use Oracle Enterprise Linux. (But worn out reading about all of these topics.)
I go to this download site as directed by MOS Note 437743.1.
http://oss.oracle.com/el5/oracle-validated
where I am presented a list of these rpm files:

Question 1: Do I just grab the newest version of these EL5 based rpms? in this case "oracle-validated-1.1.0-7.el5.x86_64.rpm", or is there some other dependency on kernel level?
Question 2: Does this Validated RPM configure changes necessary for Grid Infrastucture as well as Database?
Question 3: Are prople pretty happy with the job that this RPM does in configuring things properly?
Thanks in advance for your insights.

Hi,
1.) Yes, only take the newest one.
2.) Yep it should (some expeptions apply)*. Just make sure you configured an automatic update server (yum), that all dependent RPMs can be downloaded as well.
For OEL you could use public-yum.oracle.com, but since you don't like OEL I am sure you know where to find a free RHEL one...
3.) Definitely. I never go without it.
* E.g. it does not configure/change NTP configuration, as it is a requirement for the 11gR2 GI install.

Oracle validated rpm on RHEL4? RHEL5?

Can I use the Oracle Validated rpm on RHEL4? RHEL5?
Note:579101.1 Linux OS Installation with Reduced Set of Packages for Running Oracle Database Server without ULN/RHN
The above metalink note only talks about OEL...

To summarise: yes, you can use the oracle-validated rpm on RHEL 4 and 5.
The use of the oracle-validated rpm is not only to have some things arranged on the linux level (limits, user, groups, etc.) but also to have all the needed other rpm's installed. These rpm's are not installed when the oracle-validated rpm is installed using the rpm command, instead, the installation will fail and notify you about the first rpm on which the oracle-validated package is depended (and when resolved about the second, etc.). up2date & yum resolves these dependencies automagically for you, using rpm you must do it yourself. That's why it is convenient to have up2date setup, or a yum repositiry.

Oracle Client installs with validated rpms

Hello,
I'm new to the Oracle on Linux world (OL6), so hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I'm needing to set up some Oracle clients (11.2) on middle tier/application servers
Looking around for a simple/repeatable way of meeting the pre-install requirements and was considering using the "validated" rpms.
The oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall rpm i believe is really for a database server setup, so it's doing some group/kernel parameter/package setup that i suspect isn't really required for a client only setup.
Do people use those validated rpms for client only installs?
Might there be a "Oracle Validated Client preinstall" rpm out there?
Should I just script the package installs and user/group creation?
Looking for some real world suggestions on how to make the client requirements/install process quick and easy!
Thanks
Steve

Availability of oracle-validated rpm for el5 (2.6.18-8.el5)

Is the Oracle validated rpm available for el5 (Oracle Enterprise Linux 2.6.18-8.el5) . It only seems to be available for el4. We do have ULN support.

Hi,
Oracle-Validated is an optional way to satisfy the pre-install requirements for customers signed up with Unbreakable Linux support.
This packages main function as following:
1,Checks whether the required packages are present, and if some of them are not, installs them automatically resolving the dependencies.
2,updates the paramaters in the system files ( /etc/sysctl.conf, /etc/security/limits.conf, /etc/modprobe.conf, /boot/grub/grub.conf ) according to recommendations derived from the Validated Configuration specifications.
3,Creates dba and oinstall groups, and Oracle user if they are not present. If an oracle user is present before rpm install, no changes are done to that groups and user.
The developer are going to create links for downloading of oracle-validated.rpm on all or one of the following pages: http://linux.oracle.com, http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html, http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/index.html.So far,it hasn't got yet.

Oracle-validated rpm and ulimit values

OS: Oracle Linux 5.6 (VirtualBox)
I'm somewhat puzzled over the Oracle 11gR2 installation instruction and the "oracle-validated" rpm package.
According to the Oracle installation instruction for Linux at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16763/pre_install.htm#BABIAIED
The following values are recommended minimum:
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
oracle soft stack 10240 (32768 KB at most)
The oracle-validated package modifies /etc/security/limits.conf as following:
oracle soft nproc 131072
oracle hard nproc 131072
oracle soft nofile 131072
oracle hard nofile 131072
oracle soft core unlimited
oracle hard core unlimited
oracle soft memlock 50000000
oracle hard memlock 50000000
From what I understand, these values are maximum limits. I assume the "oracle-validated" package is not just only for Oracle 11g, and the Oracle 11g documentation recommends values, assuming you do not want to set it to unlimited? Is this correct?
Btw, the Oracle supplied $ORACLE_HOME/bin/osh utility to check and raise the ulimit to the maximum, actually sets ulimit to 1056837 with the oracle-validated package installed, but it is not run unless ulimit does not return "unlimited" or is less than 2113674. The osh utility is run by oraenv.

It seems there is no real answer to it, or there is no issue as such. I'm marking this thread as answered. I have come to the following conclusion:
Oracle-validated configures /etc/security/limits.conf which sets the upper limits per login. It is up to the user to decide the actual limits. The Oracle installation instructs to set ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536 for the Oracle user, which is certainly within the upper limits of limits.conf.
I notice however that the default stack size is smaller than recommended. i.e. 8192.
/etc/profile (add ulimit -s)
if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
   if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
      ulimit -u 16384
      ulimit -n 65536
      ulimit -s 10240
   else
      ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536 ulimit -s 10240
   fi
fiI think setting the values to unlimited is probably not the best idea.

It's quite simple. When the AUR package was created, the current version of Aptana was 1.0, but the source url links to the latest version. This was all ok until they released version 1.1 because then you suddenly have a completely new file that gets downloaded and because of this is will fail the md5 check.
It's very simple to fix though, in one of two ways. Either just delete the md5sum=() array (changing pkgver=1.0 to pkgver=1.1 would also be a good idea), or download the PKGBUILD and in the same directory as you store it just run makepkg -g and replace the md5sum array with the resulting data (this would be the best way to handle this...).

How to install missing dependencies?

I'm trying to install Mailpile (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mailpile/)
these are showing as missing dependencies when I "makepkg -s"
python2-pgpdump
spambayes>=1.1a6
I got the above two from AUR and "makepkg -s" successfully and then stuck them in /usr/local/bin but it didn't solve the dependencies. I'm not sure I know what I'm doing. Anybody know how to get Mailpile installed?

You did run it on the built package, right? Not on the AUR tarball?
Like Wormzy said, you really need to read the AUR Wiki page.
nomorewindows wrote:I don't think you even need --asdeps. It just installs them as any other package. Then when they install, makepkg -s the main package.
These packages are being installed because they are dependencies of another package. For pacman to function correctly, --asdeps is needed. If you omit it, pacman thinks they're explicitly installed and will not remove them when the main package is removed nor list them in -Qdt.

Where can I found the Oracle-Validated rpm packaeg in OEL6?

Hello,
I installed the OEL6 to avoid some issues I had; now I can't find the Oracle-Validated package rpm; I registered my system to UBL and nothing show up.
Thanks

There is no oracle-validated RPM for OL6 yet, as there are no certified Oracle applications for OL6. Until our applications are certified, we cannot build that RPM (because we don't know what the right settings are yet!). Keep in mind that most Oracle applications won't install on OL6 yet and none of them are supported yet either. You're better off staying on OL5U6.

Ignore missing dependencies

Hello
I have some parts of the gnome suite installed that enable me to use some of their features, however, I have force removed a fair few other aspects of the gnome suite. Whenever I upgrade my system, Pacman prompts that some of my packages are missing dependencies, is there anyway to ignore this or stop Pacman from warning me?
Any help is greatly appreciated

karol wrote:* you can rebuild the gnome suite w/o the unwanted dependencies
or
* you can create some dummy pkgs that don't provide any files but pacman thinks that all dependencies are satisfied
Thanks karol, how might one go about creating these dummy packages?
