Oracle 11gR2 Cluster, Some directories are owned by root after cluster rest

Hello Guys:
I have the following Directory Structure initially owned by oracle:orainventory
When I restarted the cluster it has automatically changed to root:orainventory. Is this the usual thing ? Another thing is once I installed cluster does it automatically installs enterprise dashboard? or do I need to install the database too ?

Hi Raman;
Some of folders,path owner is root in cluster.So please DO NOT change ownership of those files, or please DO NOT change file permissions

After installing ios 5.1 on my iphone 4s, some apps are being closed automatically after a few seconds. I've tried a restart and a total reset. nothing seems to work. Any solutions?

After installing ios 5.1 on my iphone 4s, some apps are being closed automatically after a few seconds. I've tried a restart and a total reset. nothing seems to work. Any solutions?

The problem Apps may need to be updated. Or maybe your iTunes account needs to just update itself on your iPhone. To do this, install a free App from the App Store on your iPhone. Tap App Store app on iPhone, select and install a free App. When that is done try the problem Apps to see if they work OK again.

After installing Oracle 11gR2 it shows - There are no installed products

I am trying to install oracle 11gR2 on my laptop on windows xp sp-3. every thing was going right but when it was installing dbca, when it reached at 85% of install, it provided me following error..
Enterprise manager configuration failed due to the following error-
null
Refer to the log file at C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\cfgtoollogs\dbca\orcl\emConfig.log for more details.
You can retry configuring this database with Enterprise Manager later by manually running C:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\emca script
At the end I am going to past the log file as well.
Now probelm is when i manually try to run emca. It does not run. and then i decided to deinstall oracle 11gR2, but when i try to deinstall Oracle 11gR2 from Universal Installer and clicked installed product then it showed me folling
*"There are no installed products"*
This is strange for me. now i am confused what to do, services are running but i can not run emca script. I am stuck, if any body can help me in this regard i will be very thank ful....
the logfile created is following....

Hi,
Which OUI you are using to deinstall 11gR2? It means you have some other oracle software also installed on your lap top. In 11G, you can't use OUI to deinstall the 11gr2 software and you need to user deinstall utility instead. Either you can download deinstall utility from OTN, or you can also run it from oracle home which you are deinstalling, as follows
On your command prompt, replace ORACLE_HOME with the oracle home path on your laptop then execute following.
ORACLE_HOME\deinstall\deinstallFor OEM database control, your DBSNMP account is locked. Unlock that account.
Follow following commands steps you configure it.
emca -repos recreate
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db

Oracle 11gR2 Cluster - Multiple Database

Hi ,
We have a 2 node Cluster (11gR2) hosting a database . In addition to this database , can we additional separate databases levereging the same oracle clusterware .

Hi,
Short answer: Yes, that is the idea behind Grid or Database Cloud Computing: To consolidate on the Grid Infrastructure platform.
Long answer: It depends.
In general this is a good idea and not a problem. However you will (like in all consolidation environments) be sharing same resources.
So you have to split the memory (between the databases) and care for not overloading CPU (e.g. with setting the CPU_COUNT parameter) or Storage I/O.

Sebastian

Star Schema and Oracle 11gR2 ?

Star Schema and Oracle 11gR2 ?
I know the star schema (ROLAP) and implemented couple of them. Apart from general design principle of dimension, FACT, surrogate key etc, what are the specific items needed in Oracle 11gR2?
Some one talked about over 10 conditions/pre-requisits for Star Schema (ROLAP) implementations in Oracle 11gR2. I did some search, but I did not get any hits.
Do we design Star schema (ROLAP) differently in Oracle 11gR2?
Any pointer welcome.
Thanks in helping.

Hi,
from my experience there are no specific requirements for the star schema design when using owb 11.2.
When using the OWB ETL Option (extra license required), one may use the owb dimensions and cubes.
These make mapping development easier, since support for SCD2 is built into the dimension operators. Loading the cube is simplified because the lookup of the surrogate key from the dimension is built into the cube operator.
These owb objects will deploy specific dimension and fact tables. If you already have existing ones, you must modify them manually.
I implemented several projects without these advanced features. Baiscally I did the same in OWB what I would have done using hand-coded SQL and PL/SQL. And it worked just fine.
If you find those 10 conditions, please post them here. I'm curious to learn about them!
Regards,
Carsten.

Sudoing a command with a redirection to a place owned by root

I want to :
echo "some text" > /path/owned/by/root
With sudo., I would :
sudo sh -c 'echo "some text" > /path/owned/by/root'
, and it asks me for a password. Now I want to do it from a script with no password, so I put in the following lines in sudoers :
Cmnd_Alias TESTBACKUPMEDIA = /bin/sh -c 'echo * /path/owned/by/root/*'
dlsa oraculo = NOPASSWD: TESTBACKUPMEDIA
and it still asks for the password. How do I make the configuration in sudoers match the command line ?

Oops, I didn't notice ...
sudo sh -c 'echo "some text" > /path/owned/by/root'
... which accomplishes exactly the same thing as my script. To accomplish what you want, something only root can do with no password required, I'd bury it a little deeper in a little C program. The binary would be setuid on exec (chmod 4750) and access to it contolled by group ownership. Setuid on exec only sets the effective user id of a process and that's not enough for a shell script. The C wrapper is necessary to set the real user id as well.
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
main()
setuid((uid_t) 0);
execl("/path2/script", "/path2/script");
You also want to be sure that the script and its directory are appropriately protected by ownership and permissions. Before doing this sort of thing, I like to look for other ways to accomplish the same thing that do not require root access. Often there is.

Oracle 11GR2 on windows 2008 Geo-Dispersed cluster

Hi all,
anyone can guide me about the installing oracle 11GR2 on windows 2008 Geo-dispersed cluster environment? Please guide and provide documentation if possible,
thanks

By "geo-dispersed", do you mean a cluster with servers is physically remote locations ? If so, the install process does not care about how far apart the servers are physically. Follow the standard install doc at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16773/toc.htm

Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition on Linux Ubuntu 11.10 howto
h2. Purpose
This document outlines instructions how to install Oracle XE under Ubuntu 11.10.
Ubuntu or Debian based Linux is not on the list of supported operation systems according to the Oracle documentation at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18802/toc.htm. You may want to consider virtualization software like Oracle Virtualbox and install Oracle Enterprise Linux as a free and professional alternative to installing XE under Ubuntu. You can also download pre-build virtual machines that include Oracle XE. You can browse http://otn.oracle.com/community/developer-vm for more information.

h4. 11) History
h4. 12) References
h2. 1) Install Linux Ubuntu
The following assumes you have installed Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop Edition for AMD 64-bit, or upgraded from a previous version. Keep in mind that Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition is only available for 64-bit architecture. It is not necessarily a requirement, but I would not bother to install Oracle 11gR2 XE on a system with less than 2 GB of RAM installed. You can download Ubuntu for free at: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu and install it using the default settings provided.
You can apply the latest OS patch-sets by clicking the power button icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen and selecting "Updates available..."
h2. 2) Remote Terminal
You will need command line access to perform the installation tasks. Select the top "Dash Home" button of the Unity toolbar and enter the word "terminal", or use CTRL-ALT-t. If you prefer to open a remote terminal session use SSH. Ubuntu does not come with a secure shell login by default. To install it, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install openssh-serverYou cannot login as root unless you set a root password using the "sudo passwd root" command. However, you can get root user access using the "sudo" command, which requires only to re-enter the password of your personal account. Access to "sudo" is controlled by the /etc/sudoers file.
The best way to establish a remote command line session as root is to login with your personal account, e.g.: ssh [email protected], and then type "sudo su -" to become root, or use "sudo <command>" to execute individual commands. If your account does not have "sudo" access you can login as root using "su - root", but will need to know the root password.
h2. 3) Install Additional Software
Oracle 11g Express Edition requires additional software that is not installed by default:
sudo apt-get install alien libaio1 unixodbch2. 4) Managing Swap Space
Oracle demands that the minimum swap space for Oracle Database XE is 2 GB (2095100 KB) or twice the size of RAM, whichever is lesser. Enter the following shell command to verify your swap space:
cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i swap
SwapCached:            0 kB
SwapTotal:       2095100 kB
SwapFree:        2095100 kBYou can increase available swap space by using a swap file as long as disk space permits. The advantage of a swap file versus a swap partition is flexible space management because you can add or delete swap space on demand as necessary. The following will create and enable an additional 1 GB swap file at system startup, located in the /home directory:
Login as root:
sudo su -Enter the following commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
mkswap /home/swapfile
swapon /home/swapfile
swapon -aCreate a backup of the original "fstab" file and add the new swap file:
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup_`date +%N`
echo '/home/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstabExit from root and verify the new swap space:
exit
swapon -s
Filename                    Type          Size     Used     Priority
/dev/sda5                               partition     2095100     0     -1
/home/swapfile                          file          1048572     0     -2Swap space is not a substitute for installed RAM. Swap space is a safeguard that allows the system to move idle processes to disk before the OOM killer will begin to terminate processes in order to free up enough real memory to keep the system operational. The general rule for sizing the swap space depends on the size of installed RAM. If your system has less then 4 GB of RAM the swap space should usually be at least twice this size. If you have more than 8 GB of RAM installed you may consider to use an equal size as swap space. The more RAM you have installed, the less likely you are going to run into memory starvation, and the less likely you are going to need swap space, unless you have a bad process.
h2. 5) Modify Kernel Parameters
Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition requires the following Kernel parameters. Enter the commands exactly as shown:
Login as root:
sudo su -Cut & paste the following directly into a command shell (not a text editor):
cat > /etc/sysctl.d/60-oracle.conf <<-EOF
# Oracle 11g XE kernel parameters
fs.file-max=6815744
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=9000 65500
kernel.sem=250 32000 100 128
# kernel.shmmax=429496729
kernel.shmmax=107374183
EOFLoad and verify the new kernel parameters:
service procps start
sudo sysctl -q fs.file-max
sudo sysctl -q kernel.shmmax
sudo sysctl -q net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range
sudo sysctl -q kernel.sem The SHMMAX kernel parameter defines the upper memory limit of a process. It is a safeguard to stop a bad process from using all memory and causing RAM starvation. The Linux default is 32 MB. The official Oracle XE installation documentation suggests a value of 4 GB -1 bytes (429496729). Since Oracle 11g XE has a 1 GB memory limit, a smaller footprint will be a better safeguard for the complete system. Setting the SHMMAX parameter to 107374183 will be sufficient.
h2. 6) Oracle Home Directory
At the time of this writing, Enterprise Linux 6 is not supported for Oracle database yet. It is therefore not possible to confirm Oracle ext4 filesystem compatibility, which is default in Ubuntu 11. According to various information, ext4 may cause a performance problem for Oracle 11g database. The following will show you how to add a ext3 partition to your existing setup.
h3. 6.a) Resize the Root Partition
Provided you have sufficient free disk space, you should be able to resize the root partition to create an extra ext3 filesystem. Considering the 11 GB user datafile limit of the Express Edition, 18 GB should be more than enough.
You can use the free Gparted Live CD to shrink your startup volume. Gparted downloads are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable. When burning the CD, pay attention to burn the raw .iso image and not the possibly "mounted" image. If you are using a virtual machine like Oracle Virtualbox, you can mount the .iso image directly. There are going to be a few prompts when the system starts from the CD, but you can press Return to accept the defaults.
When the Gparted window appears:
- Select your ext4 root partition, usually /dev/sda1
- Select the "Resize/Move" button from the toolbar.
- Enter 18000 into the "Free space following" field and press the Return key.
Be careful not not change the start of the partition!
- Click the "Resize/Move" of the dialog and then then the "Apply" toolbar button.
The process may take several minutes - do not abandon it!
- Select the new unallocated free space of ~ 18 GB and push the "New" button.
- Set the file system to "ext3" and label it "oraclexe" and click the "Add" button.
Be sure to label it oraclexe, otherwise the follow-up instructions will fail.
- Finally select "Apply from the toolbar to apply the changes.
- Quit "Gparted", select "Exit" from the desktop and choose "Reboot" to restart the system.
{code}
After the system has restarted, open a terminal command shell.
Login as root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Backup "fstab" and add the UUID of the partition. The "tr" command remove the quotes:
{code}
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_`date +%N`
uuid=`blkid | grep oraclexe | awk '{print $3}'`
uuid=`echo $uuid | tr -d '\042'`
echo $uuid
echo "$uuid /u01 ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1" >> /etc/fstab
{code}
The UUID is a unique number and should look similar to:
{code}
UUID=d1db753e-b5dd-4a4c-a61e-259c69867b58
{code}
Restart the system:
{code}
reboot
{code}
Verify the success:
{code}
df -h /u01
{code}
h3. 6.b) Setup External Storage
If you prefer to setup an external drive to install Oracle XE, beware that it can be a fatal mistake to make an entry in /etc/fstab to automount your external storage device. An unavailable device in /etc/fstab will prevent a system startup and prompt for appropriate actions at the console.
The following is an example of how to prepare an external storage device to be used for Oracle 11g, including a script to automatically mount an external drive at system startup without the disadvantages of /etc/fstab. The script will also take into consideration that a device name might shift if you attach additional devices.
To find out which USB devices are connected:
{code}
sudo parted -l
{code}
Look for the device that matches your USB storage. For example: /dev/sdb1
{code}
Model: USB 2.0 Flash Disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 2064MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start   End     Size    File system Name     Flags
1      20.5kB 1929MB 1929MB hfs+         mystick
{code}
Initialize the device using ext3 filesystem - this will erase all data. The "-c" option will check for bad blocks (read-only), "-L" is the volume label:
{code}
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
sudo mkfs.ext3 -c -L oraclexe /dev/sdb1
{code}
Install the pmount distribution package:
{code}
sudo apt-get install pmount
{code}
Login as root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Cut & paste the following into the command prompt (not a text editor):
{code}
cat > /etc/init.d/oracle-mount <<-EOF
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/oracle-mount
VOL_UUID=alphanumeric
VOL_LABEL=oraclexe
VOL_SYMLINK=/u01

   VOL_DEVICE="\`blkid | grep \$VOL_UUID | awk '{print \$1}'\`"
   VOL_DEVICE="\`echo \$VOL_DEVICE | tr -d ':'\`"
   echo \$VOL_DEVICE

    echo "Starting script /etc/init.d/oracle-mount"

       echo "Error mouting \$VOL_DEVICE"
    fi
stop)
    echo "Stopping script /etc/init.d/oracle-mount"
    uuid2dev
    /bin/umount \$VOL_DEVICE 2>/dev/null
    if [ "\`/usr/bin/pmount | /bin/grep \$VOL_DEVICE\`" ]; then
       echo "Error unmounting \$VOL_DEVICE"
    else
       rm -f \$VOL_SYMLINK

    echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/oracle-u01 {start|stop}"
    exit 1

h2. 7) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
Oracle 11gR2 XE under Ubuntu 11.10 will result in "ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not support on this system" either at Oracle database startup or during the initial installation. Ubuntu 11.10 uses a new version of the "systemd" system and session manager and has migrated away from /dev/shm and other common directories in favor of /run.
There are several ways how to address the problem. You can either enable /dev/shm shared memory, or change the default memory management of Oracle 11g from AMM (Automatic Memory Management) to ASMM (Automatic Shared Memory Management) as it was in used the previous 10g version. Since AMM is one of the new features of 11g, the following will show you how to make to make AMM work.
Login as root:
{code}
sudo su -

h2. 8) Installing Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition
The final release version of Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition can be downloaded for free at http://otn.oracle.com/database/express-edition/downloads. The software should automatically downloaded into the "Downloads" folder of your home directory.
Enter the following commands to unpack the installer:
{code}
cd ~/Downloads
unzip oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
{code}
The Debian Linux based package management of Ubuntu is not compatible with the Red Hat package manager. The Oracle installer needs to be converted using the following commands:
{code}
cd ~/Downloads/Disk1
sudo alien --to-deb --scripts oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
(This may take a few minutes)
rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
{code}
The following needs to be set for compatibility:
{code}
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
sudo mkdir /var/lock/subsys
{code}
Ubuntu uses different tools to manage services and system startup scripts. The "chkconfig" tool required by the Oracle installer is not available in Ubuntu. The following will create a file to simulate the "chkconfig" tool.
Login as root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Copy & paste the following *directly* into the command prompt to create a file:
{code}
cat > /sbin/chkconfig <<-EOF
#!/bin/bash
# Oracle 11gR2 XE installer chkconfig hack for Debian based Linux (by dude)
# Only run once.

{code}
h2. 9) Post-Installation
In order to use sqlplus and other tools, the Oracle account requires specific environment variables. The following will set these variables automatically at every Oracle login:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Copy the default account skeleton files and add the Oracle env script to .profile:
{code}
cp /etc/skel/.bash_logout ./
cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ./
cp /etc/skel/.profile ./
echo "" >>./.profile
echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
{code}
By default, the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface is only available at the local server, but not remotely. The following will enable remote logins:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and execute the following:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE);
exit
{code}
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/admin.112/e18585/toc.htm for more information.
h3. a) Unity desktop configurations
The Oracle XE menu under the previous Gnome Classic desktop shows several useful scripts to backup the database, start and stop the database, etc. Under the Unity based desktop this menu is not available. You can either switch to the Gnome Classic desktop as outlined in chapter 2, or perform the following steps to modify and copy the scripts as outlined below. The start and stop database scripts will also be modified to perform a progress feedback.
Login as user root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Convert desktop files:
{code}
cd /usr/share/applications
sed -i 's/Categories.*/Categories=Database;Office;Development;/g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/MultipleArgs/X-MultipleArgs/g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/MimeType.*/MimeType=application\/x-database/g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/.png//g' oraclexe*
sed -i 's/Terminal=false/Terminal=true/g' oraclexe-startdb.desktop
sed -i 's/Terminal=false/Terminal=true/g' oraclexe-stopdb.desktop
{code}
Exit root:
{code}
exit
{code}
Login as user Oracle:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Modify database start and stop scripts:
{code}
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/scripts
cp startdb.sh start.sh_orig
cp stopdb.sh stopdb.sh_orig
sed -i 's/>.*//g' startdb.sh
sed -i 's/>.*//g' stopdb.sh
{code}
You will need SYSDBA privileges and set Oracle environment variables in order to use your regular user account.
Login to your regular user account:
{code}
su - dude
{code}
Enter the folowing command:
{code}
sudo usermod -a -G dba dude
{code}
Then update your profile to automatically set the necessary Oracle environment variables:
{code}
echo "" >>./.profile
echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
{code}
Update your Desktop folder to contain useful Oracle XE scripts:
{code}
cp /usr/share/applications/oraclexe* ~/Desktop
chmod 750 ~/Desktop/oraclexe*
{code}
To verify success re-login and try "sqlplus":
{code}
su - oracle
sqlplus / as sysdba
{code}
h2. 10) Tips and Troubleshooting
h3. 10. a) Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application
Error: Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application. Specify a different port.This error happens after a previously unsuccessful configuration attempt using /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure script. The script was able to start the Listener process, but most likely failed to continue to clone the database, e.g. ORA-00845. The following should correct the problem:
Determine the oracle listener process that is already running:
{code}
$ ps -ef | grep oracle
{code}
Your output should be similar to:
{code}
oracle   19789     1 0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/tnslsnr
{code}
Then kill the process, using the appropriate process id, for instance:
{code}
$ sudo kill -9 19789
{code}
h3. 10.b) cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directory
Starting Oracle Net Listener...touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directoryThis error occurs when you run /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure, but failed the preinstallation step to create the /var//lock/subsys directory as outlined in chapter 8.
h3. 10.c) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system See chapter 7 to enable /dev/shm and verify free space available in /run/shm
h3. 10.d) Apex ADMIN password
According to the Oracle documentation, the password for the INTERNAL and ADMIN Oracle Application Express user accounts is initially the same as the SYS and SYSTEM administrative user accounts. Well, I tried several times without success. To reset the Apex Admin password:
Login as user oracle:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
{code}
At the SQL prompt, type the following to be prompted to change the password:
{code}
SQL> @?/apex/apxxepwd.sql
exit
{code}
When done, open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
Workspace: Internal
Username: ADMIN
Password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
I will prompt you to reset the password:
old password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
new password: final_password
You can also login as the Apex Admin using http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex_admin
h3. 10.e) SYS and SYSTEM password
Use the following commands to reset the SYS and SYSTEM passwords if necessary:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and type the following at the SQL prompt:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter user sys identified by "password" account unlock;
SQL> alter user system identified by "password" account unlock;
SQL> exit
{code}
h3. 10.f) Uninstall Oracle 11g XE
The following will completely uninstall and remove Oracle 11g XE:
Open a terminal seesion and login as user root:
{code}
sudo su -
{code}
Enter the following:
{code}
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
dpkg --purge oracle-xe
rm -r /u01/app
rm /etc/default/oracle-xe
update-rc.d -f oracle-xe remove
update-rc.d -f oracle-mount remove
update-rc.d -f oracle-shm remove
{code}
h3. 10.g) Reconfigure Oracle 11g XE
Type the following commands in a terminal window:
{code}
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
sudo rm /etc/default/oracle-xe
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
{code}
h3. 10.h) Gnome Classic desktop
Ubuntu 11 moved from the Gnome Classic desktop to Unity and removed the "Ubuntu Classic" login option. Unity was designed to make more efficient use of space given a limited screen size and touch screens. If you prefer to use the Gnome Classic desktop, enter the following into a terminal window:
{code}
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
{code}
To log into the Gnome Classic desktop, select the "Gearwheel" at the login screen and select "Gnome Classic".
h3. 10.i) Unix vi cursor keys
The instructions in this tutorial do not require the use of any text editor. However, if you would like use the backspace and cursor keys in the "vi-editor", the following needs to be installed:
{code}
sudo apt-get install vim
{code}
h3. 10.j) Backup Database
In order to perform an online database backup using the supplied "Backup Database" script, the database needs to run in Archive-Log mode. This can be setup using the following commands:
Login as the Oracle user:
{code}
su - oracle
{code}
Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
{code}
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> shutdown immediate
SQL> startup mount
SQL> alter database archivelog;
SQL> alter database open;
SQL> exit
{code}

Excellent Blog. Thank You
Small clarification on Step **6) Oracle Home Directory, ...a) Resize the Root Partition**
Ubuntu 11.10 has Gparted available as a Ubuntu software download, DONT use that while trying the above step, instead download the ISO file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/ gparted-live-0.12.0-5.iso (124.6 MB)
Burn that ISO file on a Blank DVD, reboot the Ubuntu , during startup select Boot from DVD Option if not already selected. this will take to Boot Menu Options of Gparted Live then select the first menu option, and this allows to do further action such as Re-sizing .
and once you have chosen and executed step a) . do NOT run step b) also that is "Setup External Storage"
I hope this minor clarification can avoid some confusion

NTP mustn't be a problem I guess as the date are identical on the 2 nodes.
I have no idea how to fix the TCP connectivity issue with the subnet "192.168.1.0". Some posts wrote that could be a firewall issue. Are there any other causes ?
Thanks to all,

OL5.7 & Oracle 11gR2 - unable to login at terminal

I was installing oracle 11gR2 which requires me to log in as "root" to run some scripts. Well I opened a terminal windows and
typed "login" at the prompt, then the system asked for the username and I typed "root" (without quotes of course) then I typed the
requested password but the system replies with "Login incorrect" message.
I'm sure I'm typing the correct username and password.
However, say that I'm logged as "oracle" and try to run the user/groups administraton program under the system menu, the system
will ask for my "root" password and it will accept it with no problems.
What I did was to log out "oracle" , log in as root, ran the scripts, then log in as "oracle" again, rerun the oracle installation, and now it says
it cannot continue installation because there is already an installation in the same direcrtory and asks me to choose a different location.
I will have then to delete all files under the /u01/app/oracle or uninstall the software completely with some oracle utility, I don't know.
Anyway I first have to solve the problem of the system not accepting my login as root in the terminal window, what am I doing wrong ??

My comments:
1) su does not standard for "super user". Su stands for switch user, substitute user, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su_(Unix)
I agree, sudo is a better way to go than su. sudo is more secure and allows the OS administrator to grant the minimal privileges required. As well, knowing the root password is not required. Configuring sudo can be a bit complicated however and requires an experienced OS administrator to do so correctly and safely.
2) To remove your Oracle installation from UNIX:
cd <directory where dbms is installed>
rm -Rf *
3) Your OS configuration may have restrictions that prevent you from opening a session as root. You should get your OS administrator to assist you. Or are YOU the OS administrator? : )
4) The purpose of logging in as root to complete the dbms installation - certain files in the dbms installation have to be owned as root. As well, a few files are required in /etc, and only root can write to that directory. You must run the required scripts as root, or your dbms installation will be incomplete.

Ntp Server for Oracle 11gr2 (oracle clusterware) on HP-UX

we are planning to configure a ntp server on Windows 2003 server for our Oracle 11gr2 RAC (2 nodes) on HP-UX but we have some issues to be clear. Following are the details for our environment.
RAC : Oracle Clusterware (2 nodes)
Database : 11gr2
OS: HP-UX B11
Hardware: HP Intergrity Blade Servers BL860c i2
ntp server : HP Proliant
if our ntp server fails how the both nodes will manage the time?

if our ntp server fails how the both nodes will manage the time?Use NTP insure that all cluster nodes must be synchronized to the same time ,in 9i , 10g and 11gR2 Oracle Clusterware includes the Cluster Time Synchronization Service (CTSS) . On startup Clusterware checks for a NTP configuration, if found, CTSS goes into Observer mode. This means it will monitor the clock synchronization and report in the Oracle Clusterware alert log if it finds a problem. If it does not find a NTP configuration, CTSS will be active .

How many PC's and OS's do you have ;-) Installation of oracle 11gR2 in fedora 16
Supported OS versions are listed in the Install Doc - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24321/pre_install.htm#CIHFICFD
If you insist on using an unsupported OS, you are on your own.
