Oracle 8 in windows 2003

Hai All,
Oracle 8 support windows 2003 ? any patches needed?
please help..
Shiju

Oracle 8 hit the market when Windows 2003 didn't event exist.
Consequently Oracle 8 is not certified on Windows 2003 (so is not guaranteed to work) and as it is both not certified and desupported Oracle won't help you out.
Consequently you are on your own, when you continue your road to hell.

Oracle 10g on Windows 2003: instance not autostarting

I'm installing Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) on two new Windows 2003 servers, and I'm facing the same problem, even after some full re-installations, on both of them; so this issue seems to be some kind of bug related to Oracle 10g on Windows 2003 and not just some random error.
When I run the installation it completes fine, and the database instance gets created and started without any trouble; I can connect to it using the console, the Java stand-alone Enterprise Manager, SQL Plus or anything else; it works when connecting from clients, too.
As soon as the server is rebooted, Oracle services start but it just seems the instance isn't actually started: any connection is refused by the listener which complains about not knowing the supplied instance name, and the oracle.exe process only uses about 11 MB of memory, which is a sure sign it isn't doing anything useful. The instance is configured to start, the registry keys are properly set, and everything works correclty after the installation... but stops working after the first server reboot.
I tried manually stopping and starting the services, in various orders; I tried re-installing Oracle various times; I tried deleting and re-creating the database instance, both at setup time or manually after the setup was done without creating an instance, I tried anything I could think of.
The only thing I didn't try was applying patch set 10.2.0.3 to the installation, but I just can't seem to find them, even though my company has an Oracle partnership; I find Metalink just a bit too confusing.
Can someone please help?
P.S.
The servers are actually VMWare ESX virtual servers, but I just can't imagine this to be the cause of the problem. The operating system on both servers is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (not R2), italian language, with service pack 2 and all the latest updates from Windows Update. The servers are not domain members and I'm running the installation using the local Administrator account.

I don't have a physical server available now, but I really can't even imagine how the underlying hardware, be it physical or virtual, could affect this behaviour. I'm talking about the Oracle service starting while the instance isn't, this is very unlikely to have any relationship with device drivers.

Oracle 10g on Windows 2003: Can't start with any account but Local System

Fresh install of Oracle 10g on Windows 2003. I install as a member of the local admin group and everything works great. The various services are starting as Local System, though, and I'd prefer to set them up to start as a specific domain user account.
When I make that change, however, I can't get any of the Oracle related services to start. I've added this domain user to the local ora_dba group on my server, given it the ability to log on as a batch job and log on as a service in the local security policy. Doesn't seem to help.
I saw a thread that implied using a domain user account wasn't supported (didn't seem right to me, but what the hell), so I created a local user account and tried that. Same result.
Something I'm missing?
Thanks.

What is missing, I suspect, is reading the installation docs.
http://docs.oracle.com
If that doesn't work then come back and ask specific requestions referencing the appropriate document and naming the actual version you are trying to install (ps 10g is a marketing name not a version number).

Install Oracle VM on WIndows 2003 Sevser/XP/Vista

Has any one successfully installed Oracle VM on WIndows 2003 Server or XP or Vista?
Is it possible to migrate an exisitng Oracle Express Edition database to Oracle VM? Or the Oracle Express Edition has to be installed on Oracle VM on one platform before it is portable to another machine/server.
Is there any viewlet on how to use Oracle VM?

To answer your first question: Oracle VM Server can NOT be installed on Windows.
From the OVM-FAQ:
Does Oracle VM require a host operating system?
No. Oracle VM installs directly on server hardware and does not require a host operating system.
This applies to the VM Server. For the VM Manager:
The Oracle VM Manager works on the operating system Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 Update 5 or later.
FYI - these servers are all Linux-based.
You might check the documentation in the "Virtualization Technology Center": http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/virtualization/index.html to find some more answers.

Cant install oracle 8i in windows 2003 server

hi,
I am a newbie in Oracle.While Im trying to install Oracle 8i in Windows 2003 server , setup is not running.It didn't show anything.When trying to run from auto run, after splash screen nothing came.I formatted hard disk,changed two more hard disks,.changed machine...but cant install it in no way... It is the same case in Windows XP home edition.
But it is running in one of my friend's machine(windows 2003 server)
Please help me with valuable solutions.
Thanks in advance

Did your friend install on W2003 or upgrade from an older version of the OS?
When trying to run programs on an OS that is not certified for the programs, it is hit-n-miss whether the OS actually has the support files needed for the programs.
Think about this: the Oracle environment needs OS support in the form of DLLs and other files. The contents of the DLLs are made visible as APIs. Each time Microsoft releases patches, it is possible that the APIs that Oracle used are changed. This is extremely true when a new version of the OS is released, and even more true with stripped versions such as XP Home.
If your friend installed and then applied patches, [s]he may have hit the proper API combination. If you appled patches first, you may have skootched your APIs to the point that Oracle can not longer install.
Even if you happen to get it installed, you run the risk of getting clobbered any time you install a new Microsoft patch. The risk is minimized when you use a certified combination of the OS and application.

Please help

You can use any of the samples in the official Oracle docs:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14229/pt_demos.htm#sthref1277
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14228/ptrep_demos.htm#BEIDDCBI
There is simply nothing special that has to be done for the different OS.

Oracle 10g On Windows 2003

Hello All,
I have limited knowledge/experience with ORACLE and like your comments/feedback on following:
We plan to install Oracle 10g on Windows 2003.
Question:
1) Oracle 10G Standard Edition limitation on Memory/CPU
2) To setup a Stand-by database server do we need Oracle Enterprise Edition?
3) We plan to have 8.0 GB memory on Windows 2003 server, is the Oracle SE capable of using up to 8.0 GB of memory
4) Last but not least any idea/suggestion on best practices for Oracle 10g on Windows 2003
I know some of the questions are not clear but hope to get some answers.
Much Appreciated!
Kamal Hassan

3) We plan to have 8.0 GB memory on Windows 2003
server, is the Oracle SE capable of using up to 8.0 GB of memoryTo start with, does your combination of hardware and operating system provide the ability for Oracle to use the amount of memory? (you need to know what hardware architecture and edition of Windows)
About the Std Edition being capable or no, in matter of license terms... I believe there is no direct memory limitation. However the license constrains the server hardware maximum capacity (number of "processors"), which perhaps could limit the size of RAM indirectly.
I forgot to mention, that, depending on your choice of platform/os and of course your apps, you may need to consider whether to run 32 or 64-bit Oracle.
Is the plan to run one big or many small (memory-wise) Oracle instances?

Oracle 9i on Windows 2003 server - DBCA error

1. This is the error message that I get when I am trying to install the 9.2.0.3 software in a new oracle home. There is a 10g database which sits in a different Oracle home. The OUI runs smoothly until it comes to the point where the Database Config Assistant tool starts running and then I get this error and the installer hangs. Could anyone let me know why I might be getting this error.

Exception in thread "main"
FYI - I have installed the OUI patch Oracle Universal Installer release 2.2.0.18.0 for Windows and the Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) Patch Set for Windows after I installed the 9.2.0.1 database software.
I then tried to run the DBCA tool from the 'Start > Programs>Oracle 9ihome>' menu to create the new Oracle 9.2.0.3 database but the DBCA assistant would not start up.
2. I have a related question:
Has anybody performed a downgrade of Oracle 10g database to Oracle 9.2.0.3 database using export/import?
Can you perform a full database export of the Oracle 10g database using the 9.2.0.3 export utility and then perform a full database import into Oracle 10g? I have read some documentation that states this is not possible. Can anyone verify or confirm how they did this migration? So is the only option then to perform a table or user level export?
Also, if both the databases reside on the same Windows 2003 server box, how can you ensure that the source database files are not overwritten?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishal.

It only happens when you have oracle 10g and Oracle 9i on the same machine.
You can run 9i dbca successfully, if you rename the 10g "orasrvm.DLL" found in any 10g BIN directory. Rename it back after you are 9i dbca is complete.
Please complete details for this issue see

Install Oracle 10g on Windows 2003 Server cluster (MSCS)

Hi all
How do I install Oracle 10g on Windows 2000 cluster (MSCS installed)?
I have a 2-nodes Microsoft windows 2003 server cluster and I want to install Oracle 10g,
Do I folloow this order:
1. Install the software on both without the database
2. Create the database from the first node
in this case, The second node can see the database as it is available?,
and what about the IP adresses?
If you can point me to some documentation, or help in any way, I would appreciate it.
Thanks for any help.

Read here...
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A96685_01/intro.htm
>>
Oracle Fail Safe comprises multiple components: Oracle Fail Safe Manager, Oracle Services for MSCS, and server components specific to Oracle Fail Safe.

So I don't know how you can achieve this without Fail Safe.
There might be other link which I cannot find right now.

Installing Oracle 9i on Windows 2003 Server R2 Stansard x64 Edition

I'm trying to install Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0.2.1) for 64-Bit Windows on a
Dell Server PE2950
equipped with intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
E5405 @ 2.00GHz, 2.00GHz,
3.99 GB of RAM (It is planed to upgrade to 12 GB of RAM next week)
Running Windows 2003 Server R2 Standard x64 Edition
on install I receive message :
The image file D:\Disk1\setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine.
Can you help me?

I'm not sure there is a supported version for your O/S but if there is you will find it by going to the downloads page at http://otn.oracle.com.
If there isn't I'd recommend going with a currently supported version of the product rather than one whose full support has ended.

Best practice for # of drives for Oracle on a Windows 2003 server

I need to know what the best practice is concerning the # of drives that should be built on a Windows 2003 server to ensure best performance and most effective back up and recovery, for both the application itself and the data base.
I'm not certain, but it may be only a 32 bit machine. I'll update this once I know for sure.

We are in the process of migrating our Oracle 10 database (20G) to a new maschine.
How should we configure our disks (8 in total)?
1. SAME: "Stripe and mirror everything"?
2. Doc 30286.1 "I/O tuning with different RAID configurations" and 148342.1 "Avoiding I/O disk contention" say:
database files on RAID01
redo and archive logs on RAID1
temp on RAID1
So, what is the best practice?

Error installing Oracle 92021 on Windows 2003 Std 64x

Bit of an Oracle newb here, so someone set me strait...
I need to install a test instance of Oracle 92x, and I want to install it on my Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 system (AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+, 4GB RAM, if it matters).
I downloaded the Windows 2003 x64 release of Oracle 9 (92021), but I can't even run the setup executable. I get:
"The image file setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine."
.. as if the build was for a completely different processor architecture. I will be trying a x32 build next, but I understand x32 apps are very slow in WOW64.
What am I missing?

Ok, checked out Certify... the only certified release for my processor / OS is 10gR2... so be it. Still scratching my head that 92021 says it is for 2003 x64... oh well.
My next question is, where do I find patches? I have looked all over downloads and no luck. Certify notes that I can get "patch sets" 10.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.3.
Can someone direct me to those?
Certify output below, patch info on the very bottom
