Ora file in oracle linux 6

hi which packages must i install in order to be able to read /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initsmsdev.ora and how to create initsmsdev.ora as am also having problem startup pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initsmsdev.ora'
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initsmsdev.ora'
Edited by: Tshifhiwa on 2012/03/10 3:58 PM

You can copy the init.ora file to initsmsdev.ora and make necessary changes to the parameters , there is no need to specify "startup pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initsmsdev.ora' " if the pfile is in its defaults location.
The error can occur if the database name, instance name or service name are different..
the other thing is to make sure of the directory and file permissions ....

Tnsnames.ora / listener.ora files on Oracle Standby Database

Hi I am configuring an Oracle Standby Database to my production system 4.7 and Oracle 9.2.0.4
My production server is: PR01
Database SID: PRD
Standby database server is: PRDR
Database SID: PRD
I have already configured the server to a standby database offline backup. Was generated the control files of the standby database and the database is in standby mode.
Now I will create a script to start the synchronization of offline redolog from the production server to standby server.
I have a question: in the document SAP Oracle Standby Database, tells me I should change the tnsnames.ora production server pointing to an additional entry disaster recovery server. The tnsnames.ora file must have two entries??? corresponding to a production server and another to the disaster recovery server??
In several links of oracle tells me I should configure listener.ora disaster recovery server that is true??
Guys my question is: where should I change my listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files?
Please clear my doubt.
Best regards,
Desiree

Hi Desiree,
The entry in your TNSNAMES.ORA is a nothing but a tns service, when you define archive log destination it will point to a service. This service's host name will be resolved in your tnsnsmaes.ora file.
Below is the eg of an entry in pfile:
*.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=<service_name> ARCH OPTIONAL'
Below is the entry in your tnsnames.ora file
<service_name>.WORLD=
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS =
          (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)
          (PROTOCOL = TCP)
          (HOST = <DR_HOST>)
          (PORT = 1527)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
       (SID = <DB_SID>)
       (GLOBAL_NAME = <DB_SID>.WORLD)
So, your tnsnames.ora will have one entry for your host and the other for the DR host, i.e two entries.
Listener entry for the convenience when there is a switch over.

Bala

Init.ora file missing (Oracle 10g)

Hi guys,
My database is down and when I try to startup it's complaining about the init.ora file that is missing. Is there a way of recreating this file and how?
Thanx.

Thanx.Show the output and verify for any initialization paramtere file in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directoryIf it really is missing (so far we only have your word, and I trust Oracle more ... show us the actual error message) and you have no backup, you can recreate it by referencing your alert log. At every startup, the alert log will record all non-default initialization parms.

Attaching DBF / ORA files to Oracle 10g express

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g Express and I want to attach/restore database. I`m begginer in oracle so I know little about process of restoring/attaching databases. I have only DBF/ORA files, is it possible to restore them and how?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Ivan.

Probably not... Oracle does not generally allow you to take data files from one machine and mount them on another machine.
If you have a small dump file (generally .DMP) and a handful of data files, you might have some transportable tablespaces, but it doesn't sound like that is the case.
If you have control files, you might have a closed database backup. If that were the case, you could do a database restore, but you would only be able to use the express edition if that was the original database version you took the backup from. It doesn't sound like you have control files, though, so I don't expect that you could do a recovery.
If the original database is still around, the easiest option would probably be to do an export from that system and an import into your new database (using the exp/imp or expdp/impdp tools depending on the source Oracle version).

Why Oracle Linux 5 cannot recover disk space after delete files ?

Folks,
Hello. When I create a Virtual Machine for Oracle Linux 5 to install EBS R12, I allocate 300GB to the VM. I download EBS R12 Source Files (45.7GB) and unzip the files (46GB). Total size of stage area directory(EBS_R12) is 91.7GB.
Because some files are corrupted and cannot install, I move the folder EBS_R12 into trash but cannot empty trash. I move EBS_R12 from trash back to the directory. Then at root user, use command "rm -rf " to delete EBS_R12 completely.
I shut down Oracle Linux 5 and restart it, 91.7GB disk space cannot recover.
I download some other files into Oracle Linux files and then delete those files, but disk space cannot be recovered either.
It seems that OEL5 virtual disk only can expand but cannot be reduced. The VM disk space is less than 200GB now and not enough to install EBS R12.
Can any folks tell me how to make 91.7GB disk space and some more disk space come up ?

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.
Host OS is Windows 7, Guest OS is Oracle Linux 5 on the top of VMPlayer 3. The VM of Oracle Linux 5 is created on the external USB drive and not on the local hard disk.
There is a directory /tmp/VMwareDnd/376c7cae/EBS_R12 in Oracle Linux 5 file system. I copy/Paste the folder of EBS_R12 from Windows 7 into Oracle Linux 5. All of zip files and unzipped files are placed in the folder of EBS_R12.
After EBS_R12 is deleted, the external USB drive(F:) doesn't come up 91.7GB disk space.
My question is:
Where to run "boot>linux rescue" command ?
Does this command work correctly in the external USB drive ?

Which file must i download for Oracle Linux

Hi.
I have decided to download Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 on vmware.
But when i look Oracle's edelivery site.
files are : http://i.imgur.com/kXuwe.png
There are 4 files for Oracle Linux.
Above there is a sign ;
TIP View the Readme file(s) to help decide which files you need to download.
But in readme file dont mention for these files. Only say "You don't need to download source files".
What is the difference between first and second file? Which one must i download ?
Thanks.

Dual Boot Pre install Windows 7 with oracle linux on a dell laptop

I'm new in linux. want to install oracle linux on my dell aptop. it has existing windows 7. how can i install oracle linux without affecting win 7 files.
is oracle linux can be install on laptop.

My advice to you is, since you have established such a reputation on this board, on issues that you don't have any knowledge or don't feel comfortable about, please just keep quiet. I don't think your job is to answer every question that has been posted on this board. Recklessly, or worse, knowingly, providing a wrong answer is much worse than no answer at all. These are serious personal accusations. Are you trying to make some noise to create some visibility for yourself? Please don't steal any of my limelight! ;-)
Personally, I don't particularly appreciiate many of your responses to some of the questions that I posted. To me, your responses are rude, idiotic (and insults to my intelligence)!Sorry, I have no idea what makes you so upset. Are you just making this up? What questions and answers are you taking about?
Are you referring to this post: Ralink RT5390 Does Not Work on the UEK Kernel
May I quote/remind you of your own posting:
We installed OL6.3 and Ubuntu 12.04 on a new Asus X45A notebook. It has a Ralink RT5390 wireless card. With Ubuntu, both wifi and video work flawlessly. However, the wifi driver (from elrepo) does not work for the the uek kernel (2.6.39). While the wifi driver works when boot into the RHEL kernel (2.6.32), it created an "even bigger problem" in that the video starts at about 1/10 from the left edge of the screen.
But again, please no one be fooled by my overly optimistic and simplistic comments*. The reality is, I am glad OL6 desktop works at all.
* For example, I actually installed OL6 on 4 notebooks, one of them "does not work" because I couldn't dim the screen. I did not intend to lie, but subconsciously, I somewhat forgot that there was this failed case.
So what are you really trying to tell us/me here?
I think you have shot yourself in the foot here. I'm afraid the best I can offer to you is to remove my response if you remove your post.

Which init.ora file in use?

I found init.ora in a couple places.
How do I determine which init.ora file my oracle is using?
Is there a sqlplus command to fine the init.ora in use?
So far, I found them here:
c:\oracle11g\dbs\init.ora
c:\oracle11g\admin\mydb1\pfile\init.ora.8172009222712
Which one is active?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The one that's there in the DBS folder is the first one that is going to be looked upon by Oracle when it will try to start the instance. The one in the $OH/dbs/ is going to be active. The other location would not have the pfile all the time. Also, spfile should be used if you are in 11g. Why you areusing pfile instead of it?
Here is what I have for 11g system,

I assume you're using the "LKM file to Oracle SQL Loader".
For test purpose, can you just try with "LKM file to SQL" (slower) ?
We could check if the problem comes from the SQL Loader.
Your unix server has access to the oracle database ?

ORA-31619:     invalid dump file "string"
Cause:      Either the file was not generated by Export or it was corrupted.
Action:      If the file was indeed generated by Export, report this as an Import bug and submit the export file to Oracle Customer Support.
How was the dump file transferred between Linux and Windows server?

Oracle 11g init.ora file

1) I am a bit confused with init.ora file format in oracle 11g. In addition=
to the usual entries that are prefixed with *.<parameter>, it also has ent=
ries prefixed with <sid>.__<parameter>. I am not able to find an explanatio=
n of these <sid>__ entries from oracle 11g documentation. I am told by a co=
lleague that they are for instance, to cater for multiple-instances databa=
ses. Is that correct?
2) The presence of the <sid>.__ entries confuse me since some parameters ap=
pear in both <sid>__ and *. sections. What if the values for the same param=
eter are different, which one is used by oracle? I guess it's the <sid>.__ =
one?=20
3) In my case the database has only 1 instance, so I guess I can remove all=
<sid>.__ entries and only work with *. entries?
Thanks
Long

Hi,
the entries with double underscore in the spfile that you mention are not new in 11g but also show up in 10g.
They are caused by the background process MMAN (Memory Manager), that is active if you set SGA_TARGET>0 (in 10g) rsp. MEMORY_TARGET>0 (in 11g).
This MMAN modifies the Oracle Memory components like the shared pool and the buffer cache, using performance statistics captured by the MMON (Manageability Monitor) and storing the new size of the component in the spfile in order to make that size persistent through instance restarts.
The prefix of the SID is meaningless in case of a non-RAC database.
Kind regards

Oracle Linux 6 - boot.iso file.

I just downloaded oracle linux 6 - 64b, DVD image, but there's no boot.iso file in /images directory.
Unfortunatelly I hardly need this file for fresh install, because our HP server has only virtual CD drive connected
via iLO console, so standard installation is possible from CD images or via boot.iso mounted as CD + network install
I haven't found boot.iso on edelivery.oracle.com\linux.
Any idea pls ?

Preparing the system for an install from hard disk is pretty simple. First do a (minimal) install of EL5. Make sure to review the partitioning, reduce the size of the lvm partition by about 5GB, and add a 5GB partition at the end of the device. Let's assume the iso file is called ol6.iso and the last partition is sda3. Then do:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
cd /mnt
wget http://.../ol6.iso
mkdir iso
mkdir images
mount -o loop,ro ol6.iso iso
cp iso/images/install.img images
cp iso/isolinux/vmlinuz /boot
cp iso/isolinux/initrd.img /boot
cd /
umount /mnt/iso
umount /mnt
cat >>/boot/grub/grub.conf <<EOF
title install ol6
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz askmethod
    initrd /initrd.img
EOFYou need to select custom partitioning for the OL6 installation, and make sure not to delete sda3. Once the installation is done, you can delete the extra partition, or use it for swap or something else.

Hi ! do you mean the file /etc/resolv.conf ? This file should be by default in the /etc/ diretory and contains the dns-name resolutions. http://linux.die.net/man/5/resolv.conf http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag/node84.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolv.conf

Using tnsnames.ora file instead of oracle names server

hi,
sqlnet.ora file contains
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES)
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = (domain name)
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 2
DEFAULT_SDU_SIZE = 8761
NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = TCP.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = oranamesrvr0. domain name)
(Port = 1575)
NAME.PREFERRED_SERVERS =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(COMMUNITY = TCP.world)
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = oranamesrvr0.domain name)
(Port = 1575)
There is also a tnsnames.ora file in the same path as this sqlnet.ora. Can someone tell how can i make the application use the tnsnames.ora file instead of using oracle name servers??
Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks in advance!!!In addition to SB's comment, keep in mind that the client only sees sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora that exist on the client machine .. or indicated by TNS_ADMIN as defined on the client machine. Setting this on the db server is meaningless to the client unless the client also resides on the db server.
