OEL - with Unbreakable linux kernal on PVM

Hello,
We have OEL 5.5 installed on a PVM using the templates from edelivery.oracle.com.
# uname -a
Linux <hostname> 2.6.18-238.5.1.0.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Mar 1 21:33:32 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# cat /etc/issue

Kernel \r on an \m
How do I know if my kernal is RedHat or Unbreakable Linux kernal?
If I need to make the kernel as Unbreakable what is the procedure? Does ULN support Oracle Ebiz R12?
Thanks and Regards,
Srividhya

I/O Error with Unbreakable Linux on VMWARE

Hallo,
I need a little bit help.
We are using a Version of "unbreakable Linux" for a Installation of E-Business Suite
for Demonstration Purposes (in fact we ant to do an upgrade from 11.0.3 E-Business-Suite to 11i) on VMWare.
After Installation we ran into the Bug "Read-Only-Filesystem after Path-Failover",
which meant, that after random I/O - Errors the filesystem was automatically remounted in read-only-mode (which also meant that the database crashed at the same time).
After Downloading several Patches we are now on the following level:
2.6.9-42.0.10.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Feb 27 12:25:04 PST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux.
Now the filesystem isn't remounted in read-only-mode, nevertheless we occasionally
get the following errors (/var/log/messages)
Apr 26 23:33:45 appstraining kernel: SCSI error : <0 0 0 0> return code = 0x20008
Apr 26 23:33:45 appstraining kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 309473637
Apr 26 23:33:45 appstraining kernel: Buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 38658051
Apr 26 23:33:45 appstraining kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on dm-0
Consequently we get defect Blocks and Control-Files for example and database -crashes.
I didn't find any new Patches using Up2date.
Who can help?

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 :

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?
Regards, Luis ...!

There is lm although....
So i guess the installation is for 32bit.
Do i need to download a 64bit distro?.

Which version of Unbreakable Linux can I use with XE 10g 32-bit

I have to do an installation of XE 10g 32-bit, and I'm looking in to using Unbreakable Linux.
The simple question is which version of Linux can I use 5.?? or 6.?? ??
thanks,

The system requirements page is somewhat dated, but maybe 5 will work.

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)

Compatibility about oracle 10g release1 and unbreakable Linux

Hi there,
My OS is "Oracle Unbreakable Linux" which is from ORACLE, when I tried to install oracle 10g release 1 , it got error as below:
[oracle@O10gR1 Disk1]$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be redhat-2.1, redhat-3, SuSE-9, SuSE-8 or UnitedLinux-1.0
Failed <<<<
Can somebody tell me if unbreakable linux is compatible to oracle 10g release 1 ?
Thanks

Oracle 10gR1 is certified with OEL, you might have using old downloaded installer, that's why you getting error. Download new installer from otn.oracle.com.
OR
you just need to execute runInstaller with -ignoreSysPrereqs switch:
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
OR
Update oraparam.ini in STAGE_AREA/Disk1/install

What Unbreakable Linux is better for 10g?

Dear members, what linux should I to install for Oracle Database 10.2.0.3?
Is the Unbreakable Linux 5 is complete "blessed" for using with 10g or it better to get OEL 4 update 5?
Thanks for your answers.

Thank you for your reply, do you know why it's now not possible to get subscribtion for OEL5 ? .. The Enterprise Linux subscribtion is avalable only for OEL4 update 5 "..get 24x7 access to a year worth of patches, fixes, and security alerts for Enterprise Linux 4 and Enterprise Linux 3.." that's what I see in Product Details. Or it's possible that this subscrition is suitable for OEL5 too?
Sorry my terrible englsih

Windows Xp and Unbreakable Linux

Anybody with an idea if its possible to have windows xp and unbreakable linux on the same system, tried it once but had problems with it maybe i did something wrong am not sure, i just need confirmation so i dont lose my files if it isnt possible. Anybody with experience on it. Have done it with windows xp and rhel 3 and it worked well.Thanks

If you are not going to use VMware do the following:
Install XP first with some partition space for Linux (15GB?)
!!!!Follow with caution, as fdisk can destroy all your data!!!
Then start linux install, select the non-window partition, format, create mount points- the usual stuff.
When it comes to grub, make sure you select the advanced grub options, and select " install on first partition of boot sector" . Select Windows XP as your default OS.
After the installation, the system boots into windows XP by default, although not through grub.
For this, you need to start linux in rescue mode (use the same install DVD/CD and at linux prompt, type linux rescue)
mount the sysimage (chroot /mnt/sysimage)
use fdisk to change the default bootable flag (fdisk a [1-4]).
eg hda is your windows system partition; hdb is your linux partition
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda * 1 13054 104856223+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdb xxx xxxx xxxxxx 83 Linux
Now reboot your system and you should have a dual boot XP/OEL.

How to install 10.2 DB on Unbreakable Linux , should i use GCC 3.2 or 3.4 ?

Hi !
I'm trying to install Oracle 10.2 on Unbreakable Linux (installed in Virtual PC).
My problem is on package gcc-3.2.
On distribution of Unbreakable Linux download from Oracle web - there is no gcc-3.2, so i download and try to install gcc-3.2 from RedHat, that requires cpp 3.2-7.
I have installed cpp 3.4.6 that i can't uninstall because xorg-x11 requeires it. I don't want to loose X11 in my Linux :(
When i was try to use gcc-3.4.6-3.1 installation failed witch error :

Oracle 10g release 2 and Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5

I see in this forum some solutions but none works for me (I´m installing Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 x64) to solve this problem I put libXp lib but the problem is the same.
The library is installed:
[root@SRVAXILAB072 oracle]# ll /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 16 18:10 /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6 -> libXp.so.6.2.0
[root@SRVAXILAB072 oracle]#
But I think the installation process are searching in /usr/lib but I didn´t have the library in 32b I tried to copy to /usr/lib and another crazy ideas but didn’t work.
I read alot of post and guides for installation process but I didn´t see nothing to install Oracle in Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5
Some ideas??
If not..... I will try with Oracle Unbreakable linux 4 :(
Thanks
Best Regards

Well, I've not been in touch with installs on linux myself for a long time, but it seems you need a few 32-bit libs. Try installing libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm.

How to make Firefox access the internet from Oracle Ent. Unbreakable Linux?

Hello
I have a Dell Duo Core x86 laptop that multiboots Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP and Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux. I use Internet Explorer to
access my email while at the library so I know my laptop can access the internet. I just installed the Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux in text mode and
I can still access the Internet but only if I use one of the Windows operating systems which is why I am keeping them for now. The reason is because when I
use Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux, when I select Firefox to access the internet I get these messages:
"Server not found
Firefox can't find server at www.hotmail.com
-check address for typing errors
-if unable to load pages check network connection
-if computer or network protected by firewall make sure Firefox permitted to access
web"
None of those reasons are true for not gaining access to the internet. I want to use Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux from now which is why I installed
but I need to know:
1) Why do I get the "Server not found" and the other error messages when I try to access the internet using Firefox and what do I have to do to make Firefox
access the internet successfully?

Hi,
First you must confirm your laptop with Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux can access internet.
Please open a terminal, input the following command
1.ifconfig
2.cat /etc/resolv.conf
Regards
Jason

Oracle 10g RAC on Oracle Unbreakable Linux 4, on 3 HP-DL380 Install Instruc

I am searching for installation assistance (ie install guide) for Setting up an OUL4 RAC Cluster, I have found instructions using a VMserver but am interested in using 3 HP-DL380 machines. Is there a guide detailing such an installation or should I attempt to utilize the VMserver install guide, ignoring the VM references in support of 3 specific machines?
Thank You for any assistance you can provide
NickG

I guess I need to specify that I will be responsible only for the "OS" Side of management and installation of the system. Do I follow the standard installation, of a standard download of Oracle Unbreakable Linux on each of the 3 machines, and then continue with RAC cluster installation as explained in the above link?
Thanks

I've seen similar problems when I've forgotten to install all the required RPMs. So double check with the docs and the latest readmes, it might be your solution

Unbreakable Linux/Oracle question

Hi,
I set up Unbreakable Linux, and was following the instructions to evaluate Oracle RAC 10g.
I changed my mind about setting up the RAC, I would just like to install Oracle on Unbreakable Linux. My question may sound dumb, but does anyone know if the download for Unbreakable Linux comes with Oracle 10G packages? I need to know if I need to download the Oracle 10G database for Linux, or is it already included in Unbreakable Linux download?
Thanks,
Zach

I need to download the Oracle 10G database for Linux,
or is it already included in Unbreakable Linux download?Unbreakable Linux download is the Operating System only, 10g DB is not included.

Unbreakable Linux Network Alert Icon - How to register?

Hi,
I just installed the Unbreakable Linux and when tried to use the up2date I get a message requesting to active my environment but I don't have a CSI as I'm an Oracle employee. Does anyone know how can I make it work?
Thanks
Claudio

Hello John,
I tried to subscribe to Unbreakable Linux Network with my company's CSI supplied to us through our Oracle partnership; I work for an Oracle Certified Advantage Partner. I have used my CSI for MetaLink registration and Service Requests, but it is not working when I try to register for "up2date" (error: "CSI is not valid").
Should my company's CSI work?
Thanks,
Jeremy
