OL 6.x - oracle-validated?

Hello
I just read the announcement that Oracle Linux (with UEK) 6.x is now officially certified for Oracle 11g R2 database.
Is there OL 6.x which has oracle-validated rpm? I use this rpm on OEL5.7 and it works great, it would be great to see something similar in OL6.x which installed all mandatory packages required by Oracle 11.2, ASM and Grid "automatically" with selection single click.
two more questions, apologies, I am new to Linux...
(1) there is UEK2 released now too - is it certified/supported to use with Oracle 11.2.0.3 ?
If so - can anyone point me to a document describing how I can upgrade to new UEK2 on existing OL6.2 (or OEL5.8) ?
(2) is oracleasmlib for OL6.2 available now? up to now only OEL5.x compatible oracleasmlib was on public download site, can anyone provide a pointer to one compatible with OL6.2 please?
Many thanks in advance

For what it's worth, I have been wondering about the advantages of ASMLIB and came to the following conclusions:
ASMLib examines each disk in the system and simplifies management in regard to ASM diskstring to avoid multiple paths to storage devices, which ASM cannot handle. When using ASMLIB with ASM on Linux, you can ensure the discovery of the multipath disk by configuring ASM to scan the multipath disk first or to exclude the single path disks when scanning.
ASMLib provides an alternative method to "o_direct" on block devices to avoid kernel buffering (I/O scheduler) under Linux, which initially did not provided a raw device interface. The use of raw devices has also been depreciated as of RHEL 5. ASMLib provides a different code path that may not increase performance, but apparently can help to reduce system load by exploiting the capabilities and strengths of vendor storage arrays.
I have a couple of links for references:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b31107/asmprepare.htm

In short, I found the missing file (libc.so) and I tried to create a simbolic link to it in the path rpm was asking (/usr/lib). In my system I found 2 (32 and 64 version). I tried both, I mean to link /usr/lib/libc.so to 64 version (as you can see in the console). It did not work. Then I did rm and ln -s to the 32 version of it but same result.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

You have probably compat-glibc installed but your are missing glibc-devel package, which contains object files for development using standard C libraries.
I'm haven't tried it under RHEL, but it should work to setup the Oracle public yum repository, which will allow you to use e.g. yum install oracle-validated. This method will automatically fetch dependent packages. More info at: http://public-yum.oracle.com/

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.

Problem was that up2date config had marked to not install kernel* packages :)
ran up2date-config and removed that ...

ULN oracle-validated, Note 761566.1 and database packages for OEL 5.5

I purchased the ULN to simiplify installing the packages for an Oracle E-Business installation. I'm assuming the oracle-validated is not for E-Business installation because there were several required packages from note 761566.1 that were not installed The note also has a list of 11.1.0.7 required packages. Not all of these were installed with the oracle-validated update either. Maybe i'm not doing it correctly?
If so, how do you use the oracle-validated to apply all the required packages. What channels do I subscribe to for the oracle-validated to work correctly.
I am on OEL 5.5
I am subscribed to two channels the latest for 5.5 and 5.5 x64 per a previous thread.
Packages listed in note 761566.1 that I'm having trouble with:
There are 3 parts to the package installation section.
1. You have to go to http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/Enterprise_Linux to get a couple packages not on the OEL installation disk. Are these also on the ULN update someplace?
•openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i3861
•xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386
2. A list of packages for release 5 and up
There were more than this not updated from oracle-validated from the ULN but these are the trouble ones:
This is on the list of required:
•glibc-2.5-18.i686 (32-bit)
•glibc-2.5-18.x86_64
•glibc-common-2.5-18.x86_64
•glibc-devel-2.5-18.i386 (32-bit)
•glibc-devel-2.5-18.x86_64
This is what is on the server after ULN update
glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7 (i686)
glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7 (x86_64)
glibc-common-2.5-49 (x86_64)
glibc-devel-2.5-49.el5_5.7 (i386)
glibc-headers-2.5-49.el5_5.7 (i386)
Is glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7 (i686) a newer version of •glibc-2.5-18.i686 (32-bit) ? if so, then where do I get the same version that is synonymous with •glibc-devel-2.5-18.x86_64 ?
If i try to apply •glibc-devel-2.5-18.x86_64 I get stuck in a loop.
This is what is on the 5.5 linux disk:.
glibc-2.5-49.i686.rpm
glibc-devel-2.5-49.i386.rpm
glibc-2.5-49.x86_64.rpm

glibc-utils-2.5-49.x86_64.rpm
glibc-headers-2.5-49.x86_64.rpm
3. Additionally, the following RPMs are required for an 11gR1
I would have thought at least these packages would have installed from the oracle-validated update, but they weren't. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
The following are listed in the note to be installed: I get stuck in a loop with this one too. What do I do about this?
•elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125-3.el5.x86_64

Oracle Validated Configurations - Yes or No

To satisfy my curiosity, I've just tried, for the first time, oracle-validated configuration on a clean 32-bit OEL-5.2 installation without oracle database software already installed. I've used the actual
oracle-validated-1.0.0-8.el5.i386
rpm package.
According to the official oracle documentation's recommendations and naming convention, taken as a standard, I can say that oracle-validated configuration more failed than succeeded.
CORRECT SETTINGS:
* /etc/sysctl.conf has been correctly set
* /boot/grub/grub.conf has been correctly set
FAILED SETTINGS AND INCORRECT CREATIONS:
* /etc/security/limits.conf has been correctly set for oracle, but all other entries in the file related to other users has been erased by validation script
* no modification of /etc/pam.d/login file (pam_limits.so)
* the script created 'dba' and 'oinstall' groups and 'oracle' user with 'dba' group as primary group (not 'oinstall'), that is not in compliance with official oracle documentation. To verify:
[root@localhost ~]# id oracle
uid=502(oracle) gid=502(dba) groups=502(dba),503(oinstall)
If oinstall is not the primary group, what is it supposed to do?
I'd appreciate if someone could clarify this dichotomy between Oracle official documentation's recommendations and "oracle-validated configuration".
Thanks in advance.

NJ, (and segio, please take my response in account),
If you read between the lines of my response I (more or less) make the some of the point you do.
-required rpms
'that's a job for OEL linux Installer': I can only come to conclusion 'the OEL linux installer' you talk about must be installation program of linux. There is no database option in there, so that installer can't help you. Or do you mean the database installer? The database installer only checks if the rpm's are installed.No, I meant OEL Linux installer (anaconda). When you choose packages to be installed, you can select them either individually or in various groups. A group called let's say "Oracle database 10g/11g required packages", as an option, would be very useful. I said - as an option - because OEL is not exclusively related to Oracle database. It is a distro, just like any other distro. Certainly this doesn't mean that "oracle-validated configuration" cannot be useful by checking (and resolving) the dependencies once again at any time when it is necessary. But, in any case, it should be the primary job for OEL installer at OEL installation time.
I agree with you that loosing settings is a very bad thing and should be considered a bug.Of course.
besides that I don't like the oracle user and groups to get random uid and gid's; in any environment you want that to be fixed numbers.
besides that the points I wanted to make was:
-it is not that it's not that hard to make a script which setups your environment in a basic way.
another point is that for rough and quick setup, a default linux system can be used to run a default installed database. no need to do any tweaks with system settings.
-an oracle validated package should not overwrite any settings (obviously), but should be flexible and 'steerable' so it can work together with system policiesCompletely agreed.

Oracle Validated Configuration RPM

Hello,
I am going to install Oracle DB Standart edition on Unbreakable linux. I did update according to the http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16763/install_overview.htm#CHDFJDFF (chapter 1.3.5) after that should be created Oracle and respective dba groups as I understand, but it not happened. I tried to check log /var/log/oracle-validated/results/orakernel.log, but this log is missing.
During up2date acccording the chapter 1.3.5 no error was dispalyed.
What you recomend me now? Shall I create the Oracle user before the start instalaltion and which rights which respective group?
Thank you in advance.

Can you check that the oracle-validated RPM was actually installed? What does "rpm -q oracle-validated" tell you? If the log file was not created, consider removing and re-installing the package once more.

OEL 56 and Oracle validated rpm server will not reboot.

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:

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.

Installing oracle validated rpm

Hi,
I have installed oracle enterprise linux version 5.4 on sun virtual box.I want to install oracle 10g,so I downloaded oracle -validated-1.0.0-5.e15i.386.rpm for oracle requird updates.I am trying to run the oracle -validated-rpm using yum install command.But I am getting the following error
no package ./oracle-validated-1.0.0-5.e15.i386.rpm available.
How to solve that? I downloaded the oracle validated rpm file to desktop.
Thanks

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.
