Oracle 9i - Unable to set /PAE and /3GB Switch in Windows 2003 Server SP2

Hi
I was wondering if anyone had any experience on Windows 2003 Server (SP2) with setting /PAE and /3GB switches.
I am unable to set both together, setting one or the other works fine in the boot.ini.
Oracle seem to think you can set both but it causes my OS to crash/become unstable.
Has anyone set both switches together on 32 bit Windows 2003 Server successfully?
I am using Oracle 9.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition.
Thanks

The server is new. But we installed 10g before 11g was available. Then upgraded to 11g, so it is a little mess. What the oracle installer should have done in a fresh install, it is maybe not what the server has now.
I have checked for memory issues, processor issues, http errors, every EM setting and metric, and everything looks just right, but the applications are slow and the users are upset.
Anyway, thanks for the advice. Maybe we will need to re-install everything or go back to 10g on Windows 2003 Server x32. That configuration was working fine before rushing into 11g.

Using the /userva & /3gb switches with windows 2003 server

hey guys ....

after doing some research , it seems like the problem is caused by the /3gb switch i'm using in the windows boot.ini as follows:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Enterprise" /fastdetect /3GB /PAE
( metalink NOTE:297498.1 : Resolving Instance Evictions on Windows Platforms was really helpful)
using the performance monitor as described in the note , here's an average of the output on a moderately busy day:
pool paged bytes=131460000
pool nonpaged bytes=42738000
free system page table entries=900
now as indicated in the note , i intend to add the /userva switch too set to an apropriate value , but before doing that on the weekend , does anybody have any recommendations ?
do u think the /pae flag will cause a problem ? & won't the memory reduced from the 3gb & added to the os kernel's PTE's force me to reduce any of the following components?
3GB =
a) AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY (used to address/map the indirect data buffers) +
b) non-buffer_cache part of the SGA (Shared Pool, Large Pool, Java Pool, Streams Pool, Log buffer) +
c) Oracle Process overhead +
d) (Thread stack x number of threads(ie Oracle processes)) +
c) PGA
thank you in advance...

thank you for replying ....
no im not using raw devices, im using disk & i have plenty of free disk space for the backup,
& i was refering to the
O/S-Error: (OS 1450) Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.
error
any suggestions?
nb:
this is a new db server configured with 12 gb of ram that's why we're using AWE
& THE PROBLEM NEVER HAPPENED WITH THE OLD SERVER where manual memory management & only 4 gb of ram were in use.

Is there anyway to take a windows 7 computer that the user is completely setup and configured and connect to a windows 2003 server

I have spent hours setting up a windows 7 computer with programs cad files and other software and I would like to log in to a windows 2003 server
without having to start over. Is there anyway to do that without losing anything?
Scott

Hello, I can't believe your the only one that answered my question.
What I have is 7 pc's that I bought in 2007 they are "HP M9077C" I am trying to
upgrade all of them the same way. I upgraded the memory to 8gb, replaced the
video cards to nvidia quadro k600 and installed windows 7 ultimate on all of them.
I then took just 1 of the computers and installed all of the software and changed the
settings to my preference which took hours to do. After I had the 1 computer
configured exactly the way that I wanted it I made a mirror image backup of it.
I then took that backup and restored it on the rest of the 6 computers that I have.
Now here comes the problem I need to be able to hook up the computers to my
windows 2003 small business server. When my IT guy did that he said that he had
to create a different user to connect to the file server when he did that my desktop
was empty and all of the settings are on the original user. Is there anyway to keep
the settings from the original user and connect to the file server so I don't have to
spend hours on each one of the computers. If there is a way to copy the original
user's settings that would be great. I also need to change the user name on each
computer. Please let me know.
Thanks Scott

Oracle application sever 10g on 32bit and 64 bit platform windows 2003

Hello,
can any body please let me know the performance issues, differences between 32bit and 64bit of oracle application sever 10g? I heard there were some differences... where can i find the information try to look in oracle site not much help...
please help me out because we are in the process of installing the 10 application server on 32 bit platform on windows 2003.
Thanks much....

May be possible but it is probably not tested by Oracle nor is it supported as error correction support for OAS 10g has finished more than a year ago.
A good starting point is My Oracle Support Note [url https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=564174.1]564174.1, "Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2) Installation Requirements for Linux OEL 5 and RHEL 5". Make sure that you always use a 32-bit emulated shell (linux32 bash).
Thanks,

Table files and Index files 2GB on Windows 2003 Server SP2 32-bit

I'm new to Oracle and I've ran into the problem where my Table files and Index files are > 2GB. I have an Oracle instance running version 10.2.0.3.0. I have a number of tables file and index files that have a current files size of 1.99GB. My Oracle crashes about three times a week because of a "Write Fault/Failure. I've detemined that the RDBM is trying to write a index or table files > 2GB. When this occurs it crashes.
I've been reading the Oracle knowledge base that it suggest that there is a fix or release of Oracle 10g to resolve this problem. However, I've been unable to locate any fix or release to address my issue. Does such a fix or release exist? How do I address this issue? I'm from the world of MS SQL and IBM DB2 and we don't have this issue. I am running and NTFS files system. Could this be issue be related to an Windows Fix?
Surely Oracle can handel databases > 2GB.
Thanks in advance for any help.

After reading your response it appears that my real problem has to do with checking pointing. I've included below a copy of the error message:

Unable to setup ACS UCP ver4.1 in Windows 2003 Server Standard

Please refer to the attachment "error.JPG". When i launch the setup.exe, it show me the error message. Seem like the setup file is created for 16bit OS. Anyone can help?

Ensure that the web server uses Microsoft IIS 6.0 (included with Windows Server 2003).This error states that the setup.exe file is missing and so i think that the error is in installing the UCM.so reinstall the UCM by following the procedures provided in the installation guide.

A few guesses what could be wrong.
- Under which user are you installing, does this user have all the rights to create and start stuff.
- Have you first installed a weblogic server (this should be installed) and did associate any components with the weblogic domain?
I usually do not associate anything with my weblogic domain and configure the httpd.conf file for the Apache server by hand instead of using the enterprise manager.
Once the WebLogic server is installed i follow the following steps
Installation WebTier
Run setup.exe
Select Install Software - Do Not Configure.
Click Next.
Prerequisite Checks --> Next.
Accept the default installation directory.
Click Next.
Uncheck i wish to... click Next (in the pop-up Yes)
Click Install.
Click when the installation it finished and click Finish
Configuration WebTier
Run the file <WebTier-Home>/bin/config.bat.
Click Next
Uncheck Associate Selected Components with WebLogic Domain and click Next
Accept the defaults and click Next
Enter the parameters for the WebCache
Web Cache Administrator Password: password
Confirm Password: password
Click Next.
Select Auto Port Configuration and click Next.
Uncheck I wish to... and click Next. (pop-up Yes)
Click Configure
Click Next and Click Finish
When i follow the above steps an instance of the webtier is running.

Calendar Connector and Windows 2003 Server

I'm trying to get the connector setup and functioning on a windows 2003 server box with outlook 2003, however the install process generates several failures, and never is able to completely finish. Everything goes fine, until it gets to the point of copying files, at which point I recieve a warning about the uninstaller not functioning properly, so I will be unable to uninstall the application, then the installer generates an application error as soon as it finishes copying files. Below is included the OCSETUP.LOG file, should it provide any more information. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forum.
I hope you mean when robohelp output is published to a

If that is what you meant, look at Snippet 57 on my

diskutil disablejournaling /dev/disk0s2
diskutil disableownership /dev/disk0s2
diskutil repairPermissions /dev/disk0s2
then i closed terminal and then when to disk utility and chose to repair disk with results all was fine. Then ran repair permissions and got similar results from terminal function next I erased disk and then chose to restore from time machine and it is now restoring! yea!

The old allowing oracle 3GB virtual memory on windows 2003 server question?

Hi all,
I have a 9.2.0.7.0 database on windows 2003 server (32bit). 4 dual core cpu's and 16GB of Ram.
I have set .use_indirect_data_buffers=TRUE and *._enable_NUMA_optimization=FALSE.
The db_block_buffers is set at 4GB.
Shared_pool 200MB
Large_pool 56MB
Java pool 56MB
PGA is currently at 400MB
AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY is set at 720MB (which is the lowest I can set it)
At the moment there are various jobs running on the database and no users logged on and the virtual memory is at 1.8GB.
The problem is as soon as the users logs onto the DB the virtual memory goes over 2GB and we see the error 'ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 2416 bytes'.
Now I have edited the boot.ini with the following parameters:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="UBS WSP - Wintel Server Platform with PAE" /fastdetect /PAE /4GT
because the /3GB parameter switch started the server with lots of errors.
The oracle.exe process still seems unable to go over the 2GB limit with getting 'ORA-04030' errors.
Can someone tell me if I have missed anything? Or a reason why oracle is not using the switch?
TIA
Eddy

Satish,
see metalink Note:1036312.6 : Utilizing Up to 3GB Virtual Memory on Windows.
it says :
"The 32-bit versions of the Windows® 2000 Advanced Server and Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition, operating systems were the first versions of Windows to provide applications with a 3-GB flat virtual address space, with the kernel and executive components using only 1 GB. In response to customer requests, Microsoft has expanded the availability of this support to the 32-bit version of Windows XP Professional and all 32-bit versions of Windows Server™ 2003."
of course, we mustn't be mistaken with the AWE switch (/PAE) that is not available for standard edition.

Windows 2003 server, Incompatible with Developer 6i and Oracle db 9i???

Hi,
Is there some reason for migrating from Developer 6i and Oracle db 9i to 10g when operating system is migrated from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 server???
Any document? whitepaper?? thanks

I am with Mediware Information Systems and we have an opening for a Senior Oracle 6i DBA if you know of anyone who has 5 yrs. of Oracle 6i DBA experience. If so, they can send their resume to [email protected] with the subject line 06-029.

Oracle 10G slow Performance on Windows 2003 Server

Hi there,
Looking for a little assistance in locating a bottleneck that's started to hit our system this week. It's really odd because it's been starting around 10am every morning this week.
today is the worst that I've seen it because it's almost brought the system to a halt.....
We're running Oracle 10.2.0.1 64b on Windows 2003 Server 64
The server has 16 processors and 64GB of RAM currently the CPU is sitting at 5% and the RAM usage is at 16.4GB
It's a blade server with a SAN backend and I'm assuming the latency is coming from the disk but I need to determine this for a fact.
I've only been a DBA for about a year and I'm stilling learing how to locate and identify issues. According to OEM I'm seeing
a ton of I/O from the users. So anyways, any help or insight would be much appreciated and a learning experience for me.
Thank you for your time and asistance.
SB

Thank you for the reply!
We've had finding one FOREVER, I can't resolve it and I've read somewhere to ignore because OEM is false reporting. I'm adjusting DB_Cache now...

Oracle 9i 32 bit ON Windows 2003 server 32 bit

Hi all
I have oracle 9i 32 bit istalled on HP server with windows 2003 server 32 bit, 8GB ram.
I am trying to increase oracle memory size (SGA + PGA),
but when I exceed 2GB for (SGA + PGA) it gives me error (ORA-27102 : out of memory)
Is it because the windows 32bit ?
How to manage this issue?

The maximum amount of memory that can be allocated on a Windows Server 2003 is 4 Gb.
If you have Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, it supports 32 GB of physical RAM and Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition supports 64 Gb by means of the Physical Address Extensions (PAE) feature.
You should declare the 3 Gb switch that is in the Boot.ini file with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 so it addresses more than 2Gb. So verify which windows 2003 server edition are you currently using.

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.

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

High paging in Windows 2003 server - Oracle 10.2.0.4

Hi ,
SAP instance running on Windows 2003 server , DB-oracle 10.2.0.4.
Currently we have 16 GB of physical memory and 12 gb of virtual memory set in the system.As the sap system is started immediately the paging goes high to 25 gb used.
Checked market place and found this note
Note 1009297 and implemented the windows patches given in the note ,still the issue exists.Please help to resolve the issue.
SAP system:Solution managaer 7.0
Oracle:10.2.0.4
OS:Windows 2003 server 64-bit machine. service pack 2
Basis-Team .

have a look at note 1518419 because in meantime the reality is a little more complex.
note 88416 is still valid, but only if there is only one system on the box and if your pagefiles has 2-3 times the size of the physical ram of the box (which is litte too much if the box has 250 GB of it).
The reason why the system is using pagefile directly after startup is following:
SAP configures large portions of memory for caches and transaction memory for the users connecting to the system.
This amount is allocated during the startup of the system. Only some parts (so called privat memory) is allocated on demand.
This is the reason why the system needs so much virtual memory after being started up. How much - see note 1518419.
regards
Peter
