Oracle 11.1.0 + Solaris 10 10/08 + Database Creation failed

Dear all,
we have installed Oracle 11.1.0 on a Solaris 10 10/08 T5220 system and
the DB server installs fine.
When we try now to create the database by dbca the following errors
at the "Completing Database Creation" step were seen:
ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P073.
ORA-00018: maximum number of sessions exceeded
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_RECOMP", line 629
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_RECOMP", line 671
ORA-06512: at line 1
We learnt from the net that an increase of the SESSIONS / PROCESSES
parameters in the init.ora file should help us.
Regardless which number for these parameters we used
(PROCESSES = 1000 or 5000 or 10000) the errors above still occured.
We turned also off parallelism but without success!
Is this a bug and/or is there any other method to create the database
without any errors?
THX,
Rainer

I got it now by putting the "sessions" parameter into the template file General_purpose.dbc
used by dbca.
By the way:
I tried also to install Oracle 11g on a Sun with only 4gb RAM
under Solaris 10 10/08. I got the error
ORA-27102 Out of Memory
Does this mean that we need more physical RAM now?

Database creation failed Oracle 10g x64

Hello,
Trying to install Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 (x64) on Windows Server 2003 SP2 (x64).
Towards end of installation, it fails at Database creation stage, stopping at 2%.
Anyone can give any clue on why it happens ???
Appreciate your help..

Thank you for your inputs..
I have tried to run DBCA , but again it fails at 2% (when database files being copied)
I have also installed 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) Patch Set 3 for MS Windows x64
also downloaded and installed latest Java
Still when trying to create databse, it fails at the stage of copying database files.
Thanks to share if anyone have any clue..

Recommendations - Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris 10 Containers Logical/Local..

Dear Oracle Experts et all
I have a couple of questions for Oracle 10g RAC implementation on Solaris and seek your advice. we are attempting to implement oracle 10g RAC on Solaris OS and SPARC Platform.
1 We are wondering if Oracle 10g RAC could be implemented on Solaris Local/Logical Containers? I was assuming that Oracle will always link it self with OS binaries and Libraries while S/W installation and hence will need an OS image/Root Disk over which it could go. However, in containers, I assume we have a single solaris installation and configuration which will thus be shared to the containers which will be further configured in it. In such situations how does Oracle instalation proceed? Do I need to look at a scenario where, the global Container/Zone will have Oracle install and this image be shared across to zones/containers accordingly? If it is so, what all filesystems from OS will need to be shared across to these zones/containers?
Additionally, even if this approach is supported, is it a recommended approach? I am unsure about the stability and functionality of Oracle in such cases and am not able to completly conceptualize. However, I assume there could be certain items which needs to be approprietly taken care off. It will help if you could share observations from your experiences.
2 The idea of RAC we are looking at is to have multiple Oracle Installations on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters. Do we still need to have Oracle Cluster solution Clusterware (ORACRS) on top of this to achieve Oracle Clustering? Will I be able to install Oracle as a standalone installation on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters?
Our requirement is to have the above mentioned multiple Oracle installations spread across two (2) seperate H/W platforms,say Node A and Node B, and configure our Cluster Solution to behave as active-passive across Node A and Node B. In other words, I will configure Clustering Solution like VRTS/SunCluster in Active-Passive, then have 3 Oracle installations on Node A, another 3 on Node B. I will configure one database each for each of these Oracle S/W installation (with an idea not to have Clusterware between clustering solution VRTS/SunCluster and Oracle installation, if it works). Now I will run 3 databases thus on each of these nodes. If any downtime happens on any one of the nodes, say Node A, I will fail all oracle databases and S/W accordingly to the alternate available node, Node B in this case, using native clustering solution and I will want the database to behave as it was behaving earlier, on Node A. I am not sure though if I will be able to bring the database up on Node B when resources in OS perspective are failed over.
we want to use Oracle 10g RAC Release 2 EE on Solaris 10 OS latest/one before the latest release.
Please share your thoughts.
Regards!

1 We are wondering if Oracle 10g RAC could be implemented on Solaris Local/Logical Containers? My understanding is that RAC in a Zone (Container) is not supported by Oracle, and will not work anyway. Regardless of installation, RAC needs to do cluster level stuff about the cluster configuration, changing network addresses dynamically, and sending guaranteed messages over the cluster interconnect. None of this stuff can be done in a Local Zone in Solaris, because Local Zones have fewer permissions that the Global Zone. This is part of the design of Solaris Zones, and nothing to do with how Oracle RAC itself works on them.
This is all down to the security model of Zones, and Local Zones lack the ability to do certain things, to stop them reconfiguring themselves and impacting other Zones. Hence RAC cannot do dynamic cluster reconfiguration in a Local Zone, such as changing virtual network addresses when a node fails.
My understanding is that RAC just cannot work in a Local Zone. This was certainly true 5 years ago (mid 2005), and was a result of the inherent design and implementation of Zones in Solaris. Things may have changed, so check the Solaris documentation, and check if Oracle RAC is supported in Local Zones. However, as I said, this limitation was inherent in the design of Zones, so I do not see how Sun could possibly have changed it so that RAC would work in a Local Zone.
To me, your only option is the Global Zone. Which pretty much destroys the argument for having Zones on a Solaris system, unless you can host other non-Oracle application on the other Zones.
2 The idea of RAC we are looking at is to have multiple Oracle Installations on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters. Do we still need to have Oracle Cluster solution Clusterware (ORACRS) on top of this to achieve Oracle Clustering? Will I be able to install Oracle as a standalone installation on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters?I am not sure the term 'native' is correct. All 'Cluster' software is low level, and has components that run within the operating system. Whether this is Sun Cluster, Veritas Cluster Server, or Oracle Clusterware. They are all as 'native' to Solaris as each other. They all perform the same function for Oracle RAC around Cluster management - which nodes are members of the cluster, heartbeats between nodes, reliable fast message delivery, etc.
You only need one piece of Cluster software. So pick one and use it. If you use the Sun or Veritas cluster products, then you do not need the Oracle Clusterware software. But I would use it, because it is free (included with RAC), is from Oracle themselves and so guaranteed to work, is fully supported, and is one less third party product to deal with. Having an all Oracle software stack makes things simpler and more reliable, as far as I am concerned. You can be sure that Oracle will have fully tested RAC on their own Clusterware, and be able to replicate any issues in their own support environments.
Officially the Sun and Veritas products will work and are supported. But when you get a problem with your Cluster environment, who are you going to call? You really want to avoid "finger pointing" when you have a problem, with each vendor blaming the cause of the problem on another vendor. Using an all Oracle stack is simpler, and ensures Oracle will "own" all your support problems.
Also future upgrades between versions will be simpler, as Oracle will release all their software together, and have tested it together. When using third party Cluster software, you have to wait for all vendors to release new versions of their own software, and then wait again while it is tested against all the different third party software that runs on it. I have heard of customers stuck on old versions of certain cluster products, who cannot upgrade because there are no compatible combinations in the support matrices between the cluster product and Oracle database versions.
I will configure Clustering Solution like VRTS/SunCluster in Active-Passive, then have 3 Oracle installations on Node A, another 3 on Node B. As I said before, these 3 Oracle installations will actually all be on the same Global Zone, because RAC will not go into Local Zones.

Creating database after installing oracle 10.2 on solaris 10

Hi,
I installed oracle 10.2 on solaris.
after installation is completed i started dbca to create a database.
i mentioned all the details, after i click finish button, one window will open , in that all database details will be mentioned, when i click on that window, it will become invisible and that same dbca will remain same, actually after clicking ok it has to start creating database.
but here it is going back to that dbca windows and in that back,cancel,finish button is there.
why this problem is coming
why it is not creating database after i clicked on finish botton,
please help me, it is very critical, i want to create database and i want to submit to the client project.
Regards,
Veeresh S

ya, i clicked in finish and one html window opened, in that also i clicked ok, after nothing will work, no messages,no errors,no logs created.
i want to submit this to 1 project, but i am stucked here,
and solaris server is 64 sparc
and i installed oracle 10.2.0.1 64 bit for sparc 64
now this is not working.
can i install oracle 10.2.0.2 x86 in this sparc 64 bit server

Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris 10 in a non-global zone

I need to run Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris 10 in a non-global zone as I must cap the CPUs used for Oracle licensing limitations. My question is a simple one, but one for which I'm getting conflicting information depending upon whom I ask.
If I want to run RAC in a non-global zone on two nodes, does this require the use of Solaris Cluster?
I know there are good reasons to use Solaris Cluster, but the company for which I work cannot afford the additional expense of Solaris Cluster at this time. Is it possible to run Oracle RAC 10g in a capped container without Solaris Cluster or is Solaris Cluster absolutely required?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

AFAIK, Oracle 10g RAC is not supported in solaris containers.
It is however supported in Solaris zone clusters...in order to use it, you would have to use Sun Cluster 3.2 (iinm).

Memory used by oracle 11g processes on solaris 10

Is that something we can control through some system/database parameters or is that the way oracle 11g on solaris works?As you have already said, it is "virtual" memory. This is not real, "physical" memory. Solaris has a virtual memory sub-system layer in it, as do almost all other modern operating systems. Google "operating system virtual memory" to find out more on what virtual memory is and how it works.
In terms of your question, virtual memory means that not all of a process's memory space needs to be in physical memory for it to run and execute. The process virtual memory space is broken up into equal sized pages, and only those pages currently being referenced (used) are mapped and read into physical memory pages. Thus the virtual size of a process is irrelevant to how much physical memory is being used. Look at the RSS column (ps -ely) for the physical memory used by each process - Resident Set Size.
Furthermore, an Oracle shadow server process (oracle) uses a large segment of shared memory for the SGA. This shared memory only exists once in physical memory, and is shared amongst all the shadow server processes. But it is mapped into the address space of each process, and so appears and is counted in the virtual and physical memory of each process.
So each reported virtual size (SZ) of each oracle process is also counting the mapped shared memory pages in each process, and so counting the same pages multiple times across all the oracle processes. You need to subtract the size of the SGA shared memory from the virtual size of each oracle process to determine the private, local memory per shadow process.
If you want a further breakdown of the memory map of each process, look at the manual pages for pmap (man pmap), which will break it down by text, private data, zero initialized, shared and other types. By subtracting the shared size from the resident size you can get a true view of the private, local memory per oracle shadow server process.

Oracle 11.2 in Solaris 10 non-global zone?

When I try to install in a non-global zone in Solaris 10, the installer system check fails; I think this problem is well-known, but I can't find the guidance notes any more. The generic documentation isn't much help, I'm afraid. This is what I get from the system check, all round:
Expected Value: n/a
Actual Value: n/a
Not long ago I had a link to some notes that addressed thisproblem specifically, but I can't find them any more, unfortunately - does anybody here know?

Oracle BPEL Installation in Solaris

Hi all,
Can anybody give some tips on how to install the Oracle BPEL in a Solaris environment. i did the oracle BPEL 10.1.2 installation in windows machine and did a POC.Now i want to replicate the same setup in a solaris environment and do a performance testing.
In Windows it was quite easy cince we get a Olite DB along with the BPM installation,but in solaris i am sure we need to do a seperate DB configuration.
Do i need to use the Repository creation agent to do that or can i use the scripts which i downloaded from the oracle BPM download page?
which one should i install
* the Oracle BPEL Process Manager for Oracle AS middle Tier?
or
*BPEL process manager for developers
Please let me know if i need to do any special work arounds for completing the installation.
Your response is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Subbu

Hi,
you have to install
* the Oracle BPEL Process Manager for Oracle AS middle Tier
Please take a look at the installation guide. You need a Oracle DB to run BPEL in production environment....

Step by step process for taking oracle back up on solaris

Hi
Can you please explain me step by step process for taking oracle back up on solaris.
as well as i don't know about RMAN . what is this how to install this. whenever i am typing the rman in solaris $ rman
rman not found is comming please help me in this

First of all, what's your Oracle Version?
RMAN has changed a lot since if first appeared in Oracle 8.0. Now, if you don't have any knowledge at all of recovery manager you must first take a look at the recovery manager version corresponding to your particular oracle version so you get acquainted to the concepts.
If you see the error 'rman not found ...' then it means you don't even have set the environment variables for your session, which is part of the install process. The PATH environment variable must include the $ORACLE_HOME/bin where the rman along many other oracle binaries are located.
1. Check the environment variables.
2. Specify the Oracle version
3. You can use Enterprise Manager to easy your life, but the setup procedure is subject to the oracle version you are referring to.
4. Take a look at the backup/recovery manual to get acquainted with rman concepts.

Please help me, a problem when install oracle 10g on the solaris 10

currently, I am installing the oracle 10g on the solaris 10, I am using DHCP and
my computer has no hostname, the following is copied from the 10g document,
When you run Oracle Universal Installer, an error may occur if name resolution is not set up. To avoid this error, before you begin installation, you must ensure that host names are resolved only through the /etc/hosts file.
To ensure that host names are resolved only through the /etc/hosts file:
1.
Verify that the /etc/hosts file is used for name resolution. You can do this by checking the hosts file entry in the nsswitch.conf file as follows:
# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep hosts
The output of this command should contain an entry for files.
2.
Verify that the host name has been set by using the hostname command as follows:
# hostname
The output of this command should be similar to the following:
myhost.mycomputer.com
currently, when I use hostname command, it is unknown, what should I do to add
my hostname? thanks

Since this is related to Solaris, you will most likely get a better/faster response on a Sun Solaris forum rather than here.

Install Oracle 11g RAC on Solaris 10

Hello,
I'm new joined DBA in my organization.
There is a requirement from a client to install Oracle 11g RAC on Solaris 10 env.
Can anybody please guide me with some doc or pdf for the steps.
Till now, i've install Oracle 11g DB on Solaris, but i'm pretty new to RAC env.
Note:
I've to do installation via commands, No GUI.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Gags

Hi,
Q) Can Oracle 11g Release 2 RAC be installed on Solaris (x86)??yes, you can Install it on Solaris X86
Q) Can the links of Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base?? As i haven't seen any doc for installing 11g RAC on Solaris, where as it was provided in Oracle 10g.yes, you need to consider Oracle RAC installation over Unix and Linux be taken as base as base document.
