Oracle 10g Installation on Linux

Question

Hi everybody !
myOS: Linux Mandrake 9.2/10 (the same error on both)
I was tried to install 10.1.0 but during installation was thrown this exception
something like this...
.../jlib/oemlt-10.1.0.jar too many parameters..
What is wrong ? How can I repair it ?
Next... I cannot run DBCA because of another exception...
[oracle@r2v21 bin]$ dbca
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/sysman/vbo/VboInsufficientInitException
at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca.getHost(Dbca.java:149)
at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca.execute(Dbca.java:91)
at oracle.sysman.assistants.dbca.Dbca.main(Dbca.java:169)
[oracle@r2v21 bin]$
Could you help me with these problems ??
thanks a lot !!

Answer 1

As a thumb of rule see this table:
====================================================================================
RAID Type of RAID Control Database Redo Log Archive Log
File File File File
====================================================================================
0 Striping Avoid* OK* Avoid* Avoid*
1 Shadowing OK OK Recommended Recommended
0+1 Striping + OK Recommended Avoid Avoid
Shadowing (1)
3 Striping with OK Avoid Avoid Avoid
Static Parity (2)
5 Striping with OK Avoid Avoid Avoid
Rotating Parity (2)
* RAID 0 does not provide any protection against failures. It requires a strong backup
strategy.
(1) RAID 0+1 is recommended for database files because this avoids hot spots and gives
the best possible performance during a disk failure. The disadvantage of RAID 0+1
is that it is a costly configuration.
(2) When heavy write operation involves this datafile
Not so easy to read, title is
control file,database file,redo log, archivelog
For RAID5:
control file ok
database file avoid (but see footnote 2)
redo log avoid
archive log avoid
