Oracle 8.1.5 & Solaris 8

Hi,
We are upgrading from solaris 7 to 8 and I was told 8.1.5 release is the only one that is supported by this OS. Can someone tell me where to look for or find installation documentation? Thank you for your help.

This will not work. We have not built the native libraries to work with
Solaris on Intel..
I suggest trying the platform independent type 4 JDBC driver available for
free from Oracle. It is supported (as is any JDBC driver) with WebLogic
Server. To download it:
Go to http://www.oracle.com and select the "Download" option.
From the resulting page, use the "Select Utility or Driver" dropdown to
select Oracle JDBC drivers
From the resulting page, scroll down a little (since SQLJ stuff appears at
the top).
Or, to go directly there:
http://technet.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/software_index.htm
Thanks,

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.

That would violate the conditions of having such service contract credentials.
Asking someone to violate such privileges is a serious offense and could get that other person's organization banned from all support and all their support contracts cancelled.

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).

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....

but the most common problem with Linux x86_64 which I assume probably similar. that type of error caused by

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
Message was edited by:
user640349

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.

DTrace probes for oracle database 10g in solaris 10

Hi guys,since a mounth i`ve learnt about solaris DTrace and its D scripts and tried to look for probes for administrating oracle database but til now,nothing!so my question,does there DTrace probes for oracle application ?i really need it now,that`s my project:tracing oracle with DTrace in solaris 10 SPARC!anyone can help me pleaaase!!!

Hey!!of course that's a great site but U know,i've already visit it and it doesn't talk about probes for oracle!!howeiver i thought about another option,how do u think about exploiting oracle instance...i mean,do u think it's possible to monitoring oracle processes (LWGR,PMON,DBWR,SMON,...) with DTrace by using providers?like fbt or io,i don't know much!!remember,the aim is monitoring oracle database performance !!

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.

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.
