Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server

We have a client that is running the 8.1.7 server on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server. The database service is set to start automatically, but every time the server reboots the database service says that it is started, but when we try to access the database we get a message that says "Oracle not available". After we go into the DBA Studio and manually open the database everything works fine (until we have to reboot again). Are there any known issues with 8.1.7 and 2000 Advanced Server? Is there some configuration setting that we could be missing that will get the database to automatically start like it is supposed to?
Thanks in advance for any help,
David L. England,
Software Engineer, AlphaCorp

They are using a static IP and the network was all setup before we installed Oracle. I think we have the local System account starting the service. Is the right to start the database something we need to assign to the local System account or should we be using a different account?
I don't remember ever having to go into the service and change anything on any system we have setup before, but this is the first 2000 Advanced Server we have done.
Thanks,
David

Windows 2000 Advanced Server Service Pack 2 and Oracle 8.1

Hy,
I've got Oracle 8.1.6 instaled over an Windows 2000 Advanced Server user as a web server. Yesterday I updated it with the service pack 2 for windows 2000.
When I restarted the server after the install, the Oracle database services didn't start. They stay "Starting" but didn't finish to start. I tried to start them again but they were locked. I couldn't stop/restart them.
I had to uninstall the SP2. Then it works OK.
Is there any known problem with Oracle 8.1.6 and the SP2?
Thanks

When Oracle installs itself, it usually replaces one or more Windows system files with its own versions. Your SP2 installation probably replaced those files with originals and Oracle got confused.
The only solution I can think of is to install all the necessary SPs first and then Oracle (when possible).

Is Oracle 10g Express Edition compatible with Windows 2000 advanced Server

I have installed Oracel 10g Express Edition on windows 2000 advanced Server, but it is not working properly, but when i installed it on Windows 2000 Professional, then it is working properly, Does anybody know why this is happening. If anybody know why this is happening, please tell me and also tell me how can i install Oracle10g xe in Windows 2000 advanced server.

There should be no issues. A few possible reasons you are running into problems:
- installation using a domain administrator (it works best using a local admin);
- firewalls or anti-virus software or other port blocking mechanisms;
- DHCP resets;
However, unless you tell us exactly the symptoms we are only guessing.
My car didn't start this morning, but my wife's car did. Can you call me why based on this information?

NtfsServer problem on Windows 2000 Advanced Server

I've installed Oracle 8.1.6 and iFS 1.0 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Everything else seems to work fine with iFS, but the NtfsServer always fails to start up.
Is this a compatibility problem between Oracle and Windows 2000? I have no drive letter O: so it should be free for iFS to use.

How to Install OPS on Windows 2000 Advance Server??

I just try to install Oracle Parallel Server on Win 2000 Advance
server, but it seems that the installation is not success.
I am using 2 Compaq Proliant ML530 PIII/Xeon as a hardware and
Windows 2000 Advance Server for Operating System.From the
vendor's tools checking, it stated thad clustering service is
already installed (ok!)
When I install Oracle Parallel Server, the default drive for
installation is already drive V (share disk), and Oracle
Parallel Server has been selected on the available product
components page, but I don't see node selection for install.
(According to Installing and Creating an Oracle Parallel Server
Database manual, I must select the nodes to which I want to
install the software from cluster node selection screen page)
Also when creating database (using Oracle database configuration
assistant), it does not displays database creation selection
(OPS or single instance configuration)as the first page, but
directly go to the second page (create/delete database).
Is the problem caused by wrong step of oracle Installation or OS
itself (ie: Cluster Manager)??
Anybody have experience on it can help me?
ps:I am using Oracle 8.1.7
Regards,
Suryanto

Please check whether you have installed the OSD layer (
Operating system dependent layer). Such layer can be obtained
from your hardware vendor ( eg compaq). You should have such
layer in your system before installing the OPS.
If you have such layer installed, you can see other nodes during
installation of Oracle and OPS.
Hope this help!

Wrong OS Error When Installing Internet Developers Toolkit 5.0 in Windows 2000 Advanced server

When I install the LabVIEW Internet Developers Toolkit 5.0 in Windows 2000 Advanced Server, the installer displays a Wrong OS error. I HAve ignored the error and contiued the installion still the Internet connectively pallete does not apper in my function Pallete .How do I resolve this error?

You might try reinstalling the toolkit but the installer should have created the following directory:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\vi.lib\addons\internet
Within this folder, there should be a folder for:
ftp
http
image
smtp
telnet
url
utils
and a file dir.mnu
It could be that the toolkit was intalled to the wrong folder. In which case you can move the folders and reboot LabVIEW.

Mac G5 10.3.9 Samba Issue with Windows 2000 Advanced Server??

I have just installed a new Windows 2000 Advanced Server network but the Mac G5s running OS X 10.3.9 Panther cannot navigate the server - the finder just hangs with a beachball. The PCs can navigate without any problems.
Navigation is fine on the G4 running OS X 10.2.8 Jaguar on the same network.
On the G5 I have tried creating a new user and put the Mac using DHCP but this doesn't solve the problem.
I think I have tracked down the problem to Samba but am not sure - When I type in the direct samba link to the server:-
smb://10.10.0.5
The "SMB Mount" screen asks me which share I would like to mount. This works without a problem. I create a shortcut to the share. This also works until I reboot, then the problem reoccurs!
I think I need to reinstall Samba, or update the Samba software?
Does anyone have any thoughts,
John
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

What sort of settings do you have checked in your Directory Access > Services panel? That is, do you have SMB turned on?
Also, I would make sure that your server and computer's clocks are showing the exact same times-- just in case there is a synchronization issue.
Our Macs have had similar, but not identical, problems in the past.

Installing Oracle 8i client tools on Windows 2K Advanced Server SP2

I am having issues with installing Oracle 8i client tools on W2K Advanced Server SP2. The CD I have is labeled Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition, Release 3 (8.1.7) Win NT/2000 CSI# 2224188. The error message I get is that a dependency exist on having ORACLE.SWD.JRE 1.1.8.10.0 installed and the universal installer cant find it. The disk has a folder named ORACL.SWD.JRE with a subfolder named 1.1.7.30 which leads me to believe that the version of the file that shipped with this media is version 1.1.7.30.
Questions:
1. Why would Larry ship a CD with the wrong version of a file...just venting.
2. Where do I get the correct version?
3. How do I install it?
Any help would be appreciated.

Oracle8i on PIV
If you have Pentium IV do following: find file symcjit.dll file in the oracle installation folder and rename it to symcjit.old.
try to run setup.exe located in the install/win32 folder.
Oracle9i on W2K
Install service pack 2 or higher
Virtual memory between 800 and 900 MB ( Recommended )
if for any cause setup.exe does not make anything,
try to make click on autorun.exe

Problems with RAC installation with Windows 2000 Advanced Server

Hello,
I've two servers in cluster mode with W2K Advanced Server, and a RAID-5 array of 4 disks shared by both of them. My problem is that I've installed The Cluster Service of Windows in order to have an active/passive configuration of my servers, because I have a common directory structure that is accessed by the PC's of the LAN.
By another hand, I want to install Oracle Real Application Cluster to manage my Oracle database but after create the extended partition and the logical drives when I execute the file \preinstallation_rac\clustersetup\clustersetup.exe to create the cluster, when I select the option Create a cluster the following error message appears me:
"Any disk Oracle partition has been found. Stop this wizard, create an Oracle partition and try it
again."
I'd like to know if it's possible to have the Service Cluster of Windows 2k and the Oracle clusterware?¿ Altough before begining the installation I've stopped my Cluster Service as documentation suggests. If somebody knows what it's happening to me I'd be really very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Isabel

Hello Joel,
I've already read all documentation provided by Oracle about Real Application Clusters
and I've not found anything to solve my problem. Certainly I want to use OCFS but when I
try to execute preinstall_rac\clustersetup.exe to install CFS the error appear and I can't
continue with RAC installation.
Besides I've tried command "lsnodes -v" and got :
Could not load CM.dll
Could not initialize cluster
And when I've tried to run "clustercheck" I've got :
** Copy File: Create Directory failed - Error 183
** Directory = \\192.168.1.111\Cy$\Temp\opsm
Created directory \\192.168.1.112\Cy$\Temp\opsm
Could not copy file to other nodes [error = 183]
I've read metalink Note 186130.1 Clustercheck Fails with Windows Error 183 and the only
proof I haven't done is get the clustercheck.exe release1(9.0.1).
Any suggestion will be very appreciated.Thanks,
Isabel

Clustering Weblogic 5.1 using Windows 2000 Advanced Server

Is there any documentation available on using Microsoft's clustering technology in win2000 Advanced Server for weblogic 5.1?
          Does weblogic support Microsoft's Clustering technology as a "cluster-aware application?"
          If Weblogic is NOT cluster-aware, WE would like to set it up as "non-clustering aware application" or Generic application! Is there any part of the registry that is used while WL is running that should be replicated from server to server in a failover situation?
          Any Additional Info would be helpful!
          Thanks.

Unable to install Oracle 8.1.6 on Windows 2000

I installed a new Windows 2000 Advanced Server on a new Dell Dimension 8100 w/ 256 mb ram.
Then I inserted oracle 8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.6 into the cd rom and click on installed, but after a few seconds nothing happens. I've installed the same thing on other PCs and they were fine. Could this be hardware problem, OS problem, Cd problem, or what? I'd appreciate any suggestions or insights. Thanks.

Memory Dump Error on Widnows 2000 Advanced Server.

Hi,
I have a serious problem with my Oracle Database Server ( Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production ) . It is running on Windows 2000 advanced server. After every 2 or 3 days I am getting a memory dump error on my server and I have to restart my server.
Twice my database got corrupted due to improper shutdown and one of the data blocks got corrupted in one of the oracle data file.
The Data server has 1572144 KB of RAM. and 2302 MB of Virtual Memory.
Can anyone give me any suggestions why this is happening and how to solve this?
Thank You,
Suman Kumar

Donald,
Thank You for your reply.
By Oracle Memory footprint do you mean Oracle SGA size?
I checked my SGA size:
SQL> select * from v$sga;

Fixed Size 75804
Variable Size 80416768
Database Buffers 157286400
Redo Buffers 77824
I have 2302 MB of Virtual Memory
I have 1,572,144 KB of RAM in my server.
I am using the default configuration of the Oracle Database created by Oracle Universal Installer.
I downloaded it from OTN. I have not applied any patches to my database. Should I go ahead and apply all the available pathces for Oracle 8.1.7.0.0?
I checked on Metalink for any pathes related to memory dump on windows 2000 advaned server, couldn't find any. The database version that I am using is Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production.
There is no screen saver on my server.
Please advice.

Oracle 8.0.6 on Windows 2000 Server

Can Anybody tell me that Oracle 8.0.6 Enterprise version can run on Windows 2000 Advance server

I've tried installing oracle 8.0.5 and it runs perfectly on windows 2000. I see no reason why 8.0.6 won't work. However, if you've installed oracle on windows 2000 and uninstalled it to install the same version or another version you will need to reinstall your windows 2000 from the ground.

The problem is that 9.2.0.1 is not even certified for Windows 2008, and has been de-supported a long time ago.
This means with respect to this release you are on your own.
Oracle 10.2.0.4 is also not anymore in premier support, so Oracle won't address any new problems.
You may want to switch to 11gR2 or to downgrade the server to Windows XP. Windows XP however is out of support too.
