    I have installed VM WARE on my laptop now want to download linux ISO and Oracle ISO. Red Hat, Centos and Oracle Enterprise Linux are almost identical. The major differences are:
    - 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 Upgrade 8.1.7.4 to 10g in Red hat linux

    Dear All,
    We are planning to upgrade our oracle database from 8i to 10g along with the Redhat linux upgrade from  2.4.9-e 27 ent to Red Hat Linux 5. In my study and also from Installation guides and oracle upgrade guides I made sure that its possible to upgrade our database from 8.1.7.4.
    So I have planned the below options to do the same and not sure about the possibilities. If anyone have thoughts and idea on the same please suggest me.
    We dont have plan to migrate the development hardware and the sap version is 4.7E
    Option 1: Upgrade the Linux to 5 and then upgrading the database to 10g usign upgrade assistant tool
    Option 2: Export the database using sapinst tool and then crashing the server. Installing linux5 and importing the database using sapinst tool.(I am aware this is not a good idea since there is no migration in hardware but it will be helpful in production since we are migrating the production system).
    Option 3: Performing DBUA assistant in development and sapinst method in production.(helpful in disaster recovery)
    Could you please suggest on the same?
    My query is that.
    If i am performing oracle export from 8.1.7.4 and if i am import the same in oracle 10g using the sapinst tool. Will this work? or it will create a problem in table level. I am looking for answers for this Question. Kindly explain me on this.
    Regards
    Vijay

  • Oracle 10g on Red Hat Linux 9

    Hello,
    Contrary to what Oracle advise, we're about to install Oracle 10g on Red Hat 9. I'm afraid that the decision is out of my hands.
    Has anyone installed Oracle 10g database on Red Hat 9? and if so, is the database running smoothly? If not what type of problems have you experienced?
    Thanks in advenace.
    Kind Regards,

  • Networking error (ORA-28547) with 10g on Red Hat Linux

    Hello everybody
    I'm having the following error when trying to set up a 10g database on a Red Hat machine. I can start the listener correctly, but then the Enterprise Manager shows the following error in the 'Agent Connection to Instance' section:
    ORA-28547: connection to server failed, probable Oracle Net admin error (DBD ERROR: OCISessionBegin)
    When I try to access using SQL*Plus, I get the same error. I don't know what can be wrong: the listener starts correctly, tnsping gives OK, both using the server name and the SID, and the config. files seem to be correct. Anyone has a clue?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    Just in case, here are (the relevant parts of) mi config. files:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Error connecting via PHP to Oracle Database 10g XE in Arch Linux with XAMPP

    I get this error whenever I try to connect through PHP to my locally hosted Oracle Database 10g Express Edition
    Warning: oci_connect() [function.oci-connect]: OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries in <filename>.php on line 10
    What can I do?

    Not sure what to offer for XAMP with php, perhaps it needs a configure pointing OCI8 to your ORACLE_HOME, as well as setting the oracle environment and PATH adjustment in the Apache start script.
    Somewhere under /etc there should be an init.d or perhaps rc.d directory with maybe an apache2 script that gets called at system boot or run level change. It will take editing that shell script and adding something like:
      export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/....
      export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATHAnd restarting apache ... $ [sudo] {RC path}/apache2 restart or $ ...apache2 stop followed by an $ ...apache2 start all depending on how the boot/inits are setup on the box.
    And in your $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora adding a tnsalias won't hurt (as long as the whitespace as well as matching parenthesis are all in order)

  • Installation of OracleAS 10g on Red Hat Linux ES 3.0

    Installation of Oracle AS 10g on RedHat ES 3.0
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
    Copy from OTN Note
    Start
    Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
    1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
    o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
    2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
    o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
    o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
    3.     Language Selection
    o     Accept the default.
    4.     Keyboard Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    5.     Welcome Screen
    o     Click on Next.
    6.     Mouse Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    7.     Installation Type
    o     Select Custom.
    8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
    o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
    (WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
    This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
    The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
    - 100MB /boot partition
    -1,500MB swap partition—Set this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
    -7,150MB root partition— This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
    9.     Boot Loader Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    10.     Network Configuration
    o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
    o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
    o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
    o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
    11.     Firewall Configuration
    o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
    12.     Additional Language Support
    o     Accept the default.

  • Oracle 10g on red hat linux enterprise 4

    Please
    Is REH enterprise 4 is perfect for installing oracle 10g or are there any installation issues. please guide me any one
    Nasir

    Hi everyone
    Even though I'm an Oracle ACE I'm not an ACE in the Linux operating system.
    I am getting a new laptop that has 4 GB RAM and a server that has a quad-core with 4 GB RAM and SCSI drives. Both of these are using the Windows operating system, the laptop using WIndows XP and the server using 2003 Server.
    I have been advised to use VM Ware to install Linux and then install my Oracle database and / or application server.
    Has anyone done this and would you be willing to give me some pointers?
    I also noticed in this thread that someone is not recommending the use of Linux 5 from Oracle but rather use version 4, update 5. Would you be willing to let me have the low down on this?
    If anyone has any white papers or word documents that show how to install Linux 4.5 on VM Ware I would be most grateful. My email address is: [email protected]
    Best wishes

  • Installation of Oracle AS 10g on Red Hat ES 3.0

    Installation of Oracle AS 10g on RedHat ES 3.0 (All issues are cleared and u will b done with no error like Java Configuration Failed and make files errors)
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Custom Installation
    Copy from OTN Note
    Start
    Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
    1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
    o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
    2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
    o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
    o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
    3.     Language Selection
    o     Accept the default.
    4.     Keyboard Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    5.     Welcome Screen
    o     Click on Next.
    6.     Mouse Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    7.     Installation Type
    o     Select Custom.
    8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
    o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
    (WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
    This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
    The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
    - 100MB /boot partition
    -1,500MB swap partition—Set this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
    -7,150MB root partition— This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
    9.     Boot Loader Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    10.     Network Configuration
    o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
    o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
    o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
    o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
    11.     Firewall Configuration
    o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
    12.     Additional Language Support
    o     Accept the default.
    13.     Time Zone Selection
    o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
    14.     Set Root Password
    o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.

    o     Select only the package sets shown here. Leave all others unselected.

    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 .
