Oracle 9.2.0.6 on Solaris 10

Oracle 9.2.0.6 is certified on Solaris 10, and I had no problem getting it installed. The DBAs had no problem creating 20+ databases either, except that they complained it was slow, very slow.
Config as follows:
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems sun4u Sun Fire V440
System clock frequency: 183 MHZ
Memory size: 16GB
==================================== CPUs ====================================
E$ CPU CPU
CPU Freq Size Implementation Mask Status Location
0 1281 MHz 1MB SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi 3.4 on-line -
1 1281 MHz 1MB SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi 3.4 on-line -
2 1281 MHz 1MB SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi 3.4 on-line -
3 1281 MHz 1MB SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi 3.4 on-line -
and a 6120 disk array with a couple of terrbytes.
Oracle is running very slowly for imports, but appears to run okay for sql queries.
There are no cpu, memory or i/o constraints. sar, vmstat, iostat, the usual tools all show a healthy and mostly idle system.
I ran a few dtrace toolkit programs and I see a lot of syscall errors. This output is collected over about 3 seconds.
# ./errinfo -cn oracle
Sampling... Hit Ctrl-C to end.
^C
EXEC SYSCALL ERR COUNT DESC
oracle semsys 4 3 interrupted system call
oracle setpgrp 1 5 Not super-user
oracle kaio 22 5 Invalid argument

oracle semsys 11 9 Resource temporarily unavailable
oracle shmsys 2 15 No such file or directory
oracle access 2 50 No such file or directory
oracle stat 2 100 No such file or directory
I set a bunch of kernel parameters, despite the fact solaris 10 shouldn't need or use them, but it didn't change anything.
I set all the shm and sem resource controls to log to syslog, but I got nothing showing up.
I've got about 70 servers here, a mix of sun, ibm, hp, linux, and tru64. I've got many solaris 9 with oracle 9i servers and no problems with any of them.
Anyone got any advice?
Thanks
Alan

No i/o wait. The disk array isn't being troubled at all by the load. Using dd to read/write to the array I can get 70+MB/sec.

I've got a downtime this morning to apply the latest OS patches, but I'm not confident that that'll solve anything. On a heavily loaded (60 databases) solaris 9 server an import of a 20GB database takes maybe 5 hours, on this solaris 10 server it takes literally days.
The high sys% and multitude of errors from oracle (via dtrace) leads me to believe that this is some sort of semaphore or shared memory access issue (all those stat syscall errors and semsys shmsys errors). Thing is, I haven't run Oracle 9i on Solaris 10 before, so I don't know if oracle usually throws these errors, but I can't think that it would....

Oracle 10g R2 installation on sun solaris 10 Sparc machine

The following were the steps taken before encountering the above error

2. From its xterm terminal I logged to the oracle server via ssh oracle@ip
3. keyed in the following at the command prompt
DISPLAY=machine_name:0.0; export DISPLAY
4. executed the following from the command prompt
./runInstaller
Note: when executing the ./runInstaller, the preinstallation checking just hangs at Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. But the log file shows it failed during preinstallation checking as shown in Error encountered
Please help me with this problem.
Thank you
Ravindran Kanniah

It is because of UNIX shell. I also faced this error during installation.
First check your shell by the following command.
$ echo $SHELL
Then select the below.
For csh shell
$ setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
For sh,ksh and bash
$ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
After you do this check the value of DISPLAY variable.
$ echo $DISPLAY
If the DISPLAY variable is set then run ./runInstaller.
One advice: Keep a complete log of your terminal session. This will help you in future :)

Installing oracle 10g release 2 on spark solaris!! urgent help!

hi guys!
Am installing oracle 10g r2 on spark sun solaris. I did install the software without any pb, but when installing the database using dbca, I have this errors.
ORA-27154: post/wait create failed
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semget failed with status: 28
ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpcreates
Edited my kernel parameters and in the /etc/system file, ai've added

set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
Space aint an issue and dont know how to over come this error!
Should ai just install the db using scripts and run the neccessary .sql scripts instead of going through dbca?
junior DBA in distress.

This appears to be because of low semaphores setting. Did you reboot your server after making the /etc/system parameter changes ?

Oracle 11g R2 on HP and Solaris

Hello All,
In the Last Week i was installing Oracle 11R2 on two HP servers and one Solaris server. i faced common issues on the three servers and i posted threads about some of these issues.
But i want to summarize it so i know the solution of each one in order not to face it again.
Below is the info
I have 3 servers, two of them are HP where Oracle 10g is installed and one Solaris server where i am doing the Oracle installation for the first time.
On the 3 servers and when i was installing Oracle 11g R2 the installation failed at the end when it was trying to create the db with this error: the file Seed_Database.dfb containing the datafiles information is missing.
knowing that i download it Oracle 11g R2 from the Oracle website for the three server. Why this file is always missed ? and even now and after i created a custom database manually (Not during the installation) i can't create a "general purpose db" through dbca because it needs this template file.
while creating the database on the 3 servers and on step 4 of 12 of the tab related to OEM is disabled. and the emctl is not automatically configured after the creation of the db. why this tab is always disabled on step 4 of 12?
Regards.

SriniI would think if the download were corrupted, as evidenced by a mis-match in the checksum, he probably never could have unzipped it, much less actually ran an install that simply didn't create some of the stuff he wanted.

At first I need to say you did at least two mistakes.
1. You executed runInstaller with -ignoreSysPrereqs
2. You ignored the (very important) error messages
According to error message that you got I belive that your OS is missing required packages important for succesful install (probably third mistake).
To check whether all required packages are installed execute following command from shell:
pkginfo -i SUNWlibms SUNWtoo SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs SUNWxwfnt SUNWxwplt SUNWmfrun SUNWxwplr SUNWxwdv SUNWgcc SUNWbtool SUNWi1of SUNWhea SUNWlibm SUNWsprot SUNWuiu8Install the missing packages.
Then execute (as oracle) $ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink all command.
Hope that helps.

Configuration assistant error with Oracle 10g 10.2.02 with Solaris 10 6/06

Hi all,
As anyone seen this a fix for this error?
I have installed Solaris 10 6/06 x86 on VMWare 5.2 which works fine.
When I attempt to install Oracle 10g 10.2.02 for Solaris x86 (released in Sept 06), the install goes fine until I get to the configuration assistant stage.
The first Net based configuration assistant fails with a Java exception which seems to be related to a Sig 11 in the libc library.
This looks like an error fixed by a patch mentioned in the release notes but the patch does not seem to be available for this version of Solaris.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated...
Regards
Anthony

Hi all,
Just to update this.
I have deselected the create database option part of the install and Oracle installs OK!
The problem is in the create database phase which I have manually done when I use the dbca program.
When I get to the create database operation of the the dbca wizard, I get a the following error "ORA-00600, internal error code, arguments [kelntf-ldminit, [146],[1],[],[],[],[],[]"
Any offers?

that LOB are not supported for external tables but there are other sites with examples of CLOB being loaded by external tables.

Oracle 8.1.5 problem on Solaris 7.

Hi,
I am trying to install 8.1.5 on an Ultrasparc 10 with Solaris 7 with the recommended patch set from Sun (Kernel patched to 106541-12). When I try to create the new database using dbassist, I get a database creation error. IF I ask dbassist to save to shell scripts, and run the scripts by hand, I get the following message :
SVRMGR> CREATE DATABASE "TINTIN"

ORA-00202: controlfile: '/ora01/app/oracle/oradata/TINTIN/control01.ctl'
I have tried removing the .ctl files, and retrying the CREATE DATABASE command, without success. Funny thing: the .ctl files have an invalid magic number :
dbfmig -i control01.ctl -o out.ctl

I've been dealing with the same problems in the english version but could bypass thiss by doing the folowing.
-Just ignore the disk space stuff
-Ignore the charset message, also
-When creating a database, choose custom and then select the WE8ISO8859P1 char set. It worked for portuguese, must work for french also.
-Everyone here recommended, and I do the same, leave the database creation for later, not during instalation.
Good Luck!

Oracle 8.1.5 Client/WLS/Solaris x86

has anyone been able to get Oracle's client 8.1.5 running on Solaris x86 in conjunction with WLS to talk to back-end Oracle? Any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks.

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,

Patch number for Oracle 8.1.7.4 on Solaries SPARC 64bit

Guys,
Oracle Version: 8.1.6.0
OS: Solaris SPARC 64-bit
I would like to patch to 8.1.7.4. I need a patch number for this, I find it very difficult to search for the patch on Metalink. Would you please suggest the patch number and maybe also suggest the easier way to search for patches on Metalink.
Thanks in advance
Durbanite

Go to Metalink
Click on "Patches & Updates" tab
Click on "Simple Search"
Search by "Product and Family" and enter RDBMS Server
Choose the target release you are looking for (8.1.7.4)
Patch type => "Patchset/Minipack"
Classification => "Any"
Choose the "Platform or Language" your plateform (Sun Solaris SPARC 64bits)
And finally click on Go button.
You'll get only one row as result, the patchset you are looking for actually.
Nicolas.
