Oracle 8i/9i and Red Hat Linux version

Hi,
Does anyone know, which is the earliest version of Red Hat Linux
supported by Oracle 8i or 9i?
Regards

Hi,
I downloaded the 9i, the installation started ok and I was
able to complete the install procedure, but a few things did not
go as I planned:
1.- The installation MUST be run on the console X, and cannot
be run from a remote terminal (odd!).
2.- On a 2-CPU machine the installation didn't install all the
files for the sistem to start.
3.- During a second attempt the installer issued an error
regarding a compilation problem.
Can anyone help me, I can't get the installer running without
problems.

How to install Oracle 10g on to Red Hat Linux 5 Server

I'm new to both Linux and Oracle. I've been working on an installion of Oracle 10g on a Red Hat Linux 5 Server for about 2 weeks. I've been doing a lot of reading about installing Oracle on a Linux environment. I finally got to the installation portion and the Oracle Installer displayed a message that I had to have Red Hat 4 or 4 Enterprise to continue.
How can Install Oracle 10g onto a Red Hat 5 Linux Server"? Is there an option that I can use to bypass the OS checking?
Thanks

Unfortunately there is no way to access metalink without a valid account. You could then just try to skip preinstall requisites with this clause:
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or this method:
Copy the oraparam.ini from the installation source install/oraparam.ini to /tmp directory.
Edit the file /tmp/oraparam.ini so this file reads:
After
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-3,SuSE-9,redhat-4,UnitedLinux-1.0,asianux-1,asianux-2,redhat-5
also, make sure you have these packages installed:

Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

Hi,
I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
Thanks again,
Virendra

I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
The Must PDF's to refer before installation
1)r1152ins.pdf
2)11iconcepts.pdf
According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
The installation process can be divided into
Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
2)1-11 CD's
1-3 Application Top information
4th Oracle DB
5-6 IAS and other tools
7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
Installation Types
Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
Test ==>For test Env Purposes
Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.
Pre-Installation steps
======================
Space Requirement for types of installtions
Install VC++
How to Download and install MKS tool Kit
How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE
Env path setting
Create Applmgr user in Win2000
Space Requirement for types installtion:
Memory Requirement
1 GB of RAM(512 Fine for initial Installtion)
but planned for more user connections another 1 GB of Ram and according to the number of user's and Application needs you have to Increase the Memory.
HDD capacity
APP_Top(A)
COMMON_TOP(C)
DATA_TOP(D)
Test DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
Prod DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
Plus space for ur staging area.
This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
Softwares on System
Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
Install VC++:
Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
Evaluation copy from
http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
This can be done by performing the following steps:
NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
The directory contains the following files:
README
djtarnt.exe
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
tar-1.11.2a.exe
Only two of the files are required:
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
3) Point your browser to the following
URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
The files needed from this directory are:
make-3.77.tar.gz
make-3.78.1.tar.gz
make-3.79.1.tar.gz
make-3.79.tar.gz
Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
See [NOTE:115937.1]
for work around. RELATED DOCUMENTS ----------------- For Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit and

Installation:
=============
What here you require is the Patience .
Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
installed products it requires without any failure.
The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

How to install ECC IDES in RED HAT linux version 5

Hai..
I would like to install ECC IDES in linux OS. I dont know Linux. So it is difficult for me to install.
I am having 500 gb HD.and in that 30 GB allocated as NTFS for WinXP.
Left space(470 GB Free) for linux and ECC IDES.
I want to know - how to partition this 470 GB in linux. I dont know which file system should be allocated and how it should be partitioned. I am using RED HAT LINUX Version 5.
i need a step by step process to install red hat linux with proper(file system) partition and
I need a step by step process to install IDES with Linux commands.
Thank You

Get the official installation guides at

However, they won't contain "now enter command X and now enter command Y". You will need to have a basic understanding what you are doing before you can install a SAP system (and the database).

Oracle 9i installation on Red Hat Linux 9 URGENT

hi,
I live in london, I have tried a lot to install Oracle 9i Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 9, but couldn't do it, can any one help me to install it, I am ready to pay and visit any place in london for that purpose in the evening, if any one can help my mobiel number 07832 077672
best regards
asif

If you are only trying to learn, I would recommend either Fedora FC4 or OpenSuSE 10, and I would recommend installing ORacle Express Edition if you do not need advanced Oracle stuff (or you are not learning for OCP).
Again, use Werner's excellent site - http://www.puschitz.com or Ivan Kartik's site - http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora9_fedora.html to get good instruciton on installation.
If you want a free version that is as close to a supported Linux as legally possible, consider using WhiteBoxLinux.org, TaoLinux.org or CentOS.org linux. These are clones of RedHat Enterprise (the one that is supported). Or you could contact Novell.com and ask for an evaluation kit for SLES9.

Oracle 10g Installation on Red Hat Linux

Hi
I am trying to install Oracle 10g (Downloaded from Oracle Site) in a Linux Installation. I have checked with the following command about the Linux Version
# cat /etc/issue and the output is :
Red Hat Linux Release 7.1 (Seawolf)
Kernel 2.4.2-2 on an i686
Then I am giving #uname -r and the output is
2.4.2-2
Now Oracle Installation Guide for 10g for Linux is saying that
if the errata level is less than 25 on x86 system then install latest Kernel Updates.
Please Let me know from where I can get the Latest Kernel Updates appropriately and what I need to do to put that patch into Linux so that I can smoothly install the Oracle 10g.
Thanks and regards.
Keshav Tripathy

Jer is absolutely right.... just changing the values in oraparm.ini to reflect your kernel distribution will work for you.
For example the file contains:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3
now to add your linux into it just check your version by issuing the command #uname -r
in my case the output was "2.4.20-8smp". I just appended redhat before this value and entered in the oraparm.ini file.
The new ini file looks like:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3,redhat-2.4.20-8smp
[Linux-redhat-2.4.20-8smp-optional]
TEMP_SPACE=80
SWAP_SPACE=150
MIN_DISPLAY_COLORS=256
Now you are all set to install. I assume that all other pre-requisites have been fulfilled.

Oracle 8i Internet for Red Hat Linux

Hi all,
Can any one help me on this. I have setting up Red Hat Linux 6.2 and JRE 1.1.6v5-glibc also installed on /usr/local/jre directory. But when I try to run "runInstaller" from the oracle cdrom. I have the following error:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre Please wait ...
Error in Create OUIProcess(): -1
:Bad address
Any one can tell me what is the problem.
Thank you

Let me try again. I was to fast with the enter key. There is a known bug with the installer. The work around is to use the runInstall.sh that is in the subdirectory /install/linux. If you have your environment variables setup correctly this should work, also you need a minimum of 128 meg of ram on the machine.
Hope this helps.

Memory Problem with Oracle10g R2 and red Hat linux 2.4.21-37.EL

Hi All.
i've a 64Bit red Hat Linux 2.4.21-37.EL , 5GB Ram , 3GB Swap Space.
Oracle10g R2. i've 2 prodection database each is having 1400MB of SGA.
when i check the free meory it shows only 12mb of ram is free..why..?
and in swap space it's only 200mb is used...why..?
when i check the dbwither is taking 1.2GB of RAM why..?
can anybody help me in this ...how to get free memory or configure os level to get more free memory.
Sarit
[email protected]

Linux uses Swap space to run applications. The RAM available may not be enough to run the applications so OS swaps the program between RAM and the swap space to run applications.
You can see your swap partition being used as the swap space with:
cat /proc/swaps

- Red Hat and Oracle Enterprise Linux are officially supported by Oracle to be used under Oracle products;
- CentOS is NOT officially supported
- the newer Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) includes an 'oracle-validate' rpm to reduce configuration guessing
Each Distro has it's purpose. I use SUSE and OpenSUSE for my office. And for general servers I use RedHat (when I need commercial support) and CentOS. I fully support CentOS and the CentOS community effort.
However, for the past year I have ONLY used Oracle Enteprise Linux under Oracle product. It is free, it is officially supported, if I need commercial support I can get it, and it has the Oracle Validated RPM to minimize my config effort. http://edelivery.oracle.com
So, as compared to the other respondent - I encourage using OEL and NOT CentOS.

Oracle 8.1.7 and Red Hat Linux 7.1

Hello!
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 in one of our servers, but when invoking the ./runInstaller, the universal Installer cannot be run, it seeks for a Java Runtime Environment 1.1.8 on /bin/jre.
I tried downloading jre1.1.8 and tried installing it on the server. After installing the jre, I included jre on the $PATH environment variable.
I tried to re-run the universal installer, however I still encounter the same error. Are there any patches I missed to install on the linux side before installing Oracle8.1.7?
Thanks.

Hi.
I'm using IBMJava118-SDKfrom rpm. You can find it there: http://www.thomasfly.com/Oranux/IBMJava118-SDK-1.1.8-5.0.i386.rpm
After installing RPM I add JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH in my /etc/profile. After that logout and login as oracle and run ./runInstaller. Everything work fine.
BTW: http://www.thomasfly.com/Oranux/ -- fine manual for installing Oracle on Linux.
Good luck.

Hi Terry,
I initially experienced the same "connection refused" message as
you from xlib when performing a local installation using GNOME.
My problem was to do with logging on to X as root (to mount the
CDROM) and then switching to the oracle account to do the
install.
If I logged to X as oracle I didn't need to change the default
DISPLAY value of :0 .

Installing Oracle 9i database on Red Hat Linux

I could successfully download the three disks required for installing Oracle 9i Database in .gz format. I used gunzip to extract those three files to .cpio format. How can I further extract the .cpio files? What should I do next?Please guide me.
Warm Regards,
Manash Pradhan

You can unpack using cpio(1) i.e. 'cpio -idcmv < filename'
When you finish unpacking, you will have three directories
i.e. 'Disk1' 'Disk2' ...
cd Disk1
./runInstaller
