Oracle Database Appliance unscheduled reboot

Our Oracle database appliance (Oracle linux server 5.9) did an unscheduled reboot last night. I've
checked the various logs in the /var/log folder but cannot determine the cause of the reboot.
I'd appreciate any guidance that someone can offer in determining the cause for this reboot.
Thanks,
steve

A system restart can happen because:
a) root or sudo user initiated a system restart.
b) there was a kernel panic and the system clock stopped responding (BIOS configuration)
c) there was a power outage or problem (BIOS configuration)
d) the system overheated or there was a hardware issue
/var/log/messages should indicate the time between the shutdown and when the restart happened. Sometimes this can give you some clues. Otherwise you may want to check the following:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/fault-management-linux-2005816.html
If a system resets due to external cause or root, it is usually not logged. Is the system connected to UPS power? Since you did not specify your hardware, no information can be given about other possible tools. Depending on your server you may check the iLO or iLOM event log.

Monitoring an Oracle Database Appliance w/Ops Center?

Is anyone using Ops Center to monitor an Oracle Database Appliance?:
http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/database-appliance/overview/index.html
I'm looking for a monitoring solution that won't require a lot of 'expect' gathering/parsing work.

A stack trace for the exception would be very useful!
Anyway, perhaps you should check that the username/password specified in the code correspond to those required to access the database (username = "Kotzwinkle", password = "whatever"). Sometimes you can get away with specifying these in the ODBC data source, in which case you shouldn't pass them to the getConnection method.
Hope this helps.

OSB installation on Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) for filesystem backup

There does not appear to be any special documentation for installing the OSB client on an ODA. However, the following errors occur on all of our ODAs when attempting to install the OSB client:

Note that the symlink of uncompress to unzip is directly from the OSB installation documentation. None of those files exist in /usr/tmp, but there is a similarly named .Z file there. However the file name changes, so it cannot just be renamed or manually uncompressed. I also tried extracting from the mentioned "gserver.tz" file, to no avail.
Please advise as to how to complete OSB client installation on an ODA.

Database Appliance & Exadata

Dear Experts,
I have been working with Oracle database for quite sometime now and I want to learn Database Appliance & Exadata. What is the best way to learn these in a self-study manner? I cannot afford Oracle University course fee. :(
Can I practice these technologies in virtual environment? (I know they include h/w).
Appreciate your guidance.
Thanks
P

Hi P,
The Oracle Database Appliance runs the Oracle stack that you know and love!
Oracle Linux 5.8
Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.3.3
Oracle Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.3.3 -- RAC, RAC One, Single edition
And all of the other options, and Oracle features for backup & recovery, RMAN, disaster recovery, Data Guard, replication, Golden Gate, etc.
The Oracle Database Appliance does include a command line called oakcli that provides one button database deployment, creation, and patching.

Oracle database performance after server reboot

hi masters,
this is not some kind of question, but a discussion. some statements come from our client that after weekly reboot of system, the oracle database performance is low for some time and increase after some time(say 2 days).
i think it is but obvious, because at reboot oracle flushes all cache, and temporary space, so it need to re parse the sql statements and perform some disc I/O's so it might need some time and hence performance will degrade.
but at the same time some people claim that after reboot their database performance is better than their normal performance for some days. it seems controversial that's why i am posting it here.
what might be the reason behind this?? prior can have a valid reason of hard parsing, but what with second case??
any clarification is highly appreciated...
thank you

Vikrant,
You should wait for some time buddy, its weekend ;-) .

>
I would start from saying that checking the performance when the system just started, is a wrong approach. There would be lots of IOs , parsing, calculations(related to memory allocations) happening so there would be a delay/bad performance at that time. Very simple example can be parsing, another can be memory allocation. Oracle doesn't allocate the entire memory in the instance startup that is allocated to the memory areas but allocates just the bare minimum that is needed to start the instance and than after the startup, it keeps on allocating the memory. So surely enough, with the startup and after a while of it, there would be a different performance than that after the instance hsa already been started and the workload informations have started coming up.
Its correct that Oracle would deallocate all the caches with the reboot as the instance is on the memory(physical) and with the reboot , that would be flushed including the SGA which is allocated over it. Temporary tablespace is now not freed with the reboot. I guess its a rather illogical thing to do but that's what is there now. Oracle keeps the segment allocated even after the reboot is issued, hence the reason for larger temporary tablespaces.

>
This should not come as a surprise once we understand what might be happening with this process. Assume a situation where you have undersized caches. For example, shared pool . which is very heavily used for database , if this is going to be undersized and you are not using automatic memory management, you won't be enjoying the dynamic management of this parameter. Now, if you do lots of parsing , thanks to your wrongly written queries, you would eventually end up filling up shared pool to its max thus leaving no space for incoming new hard parsed cursors. Here , if you can't manage to add more memory to add to it, the only solution left would be to flush the shared pool( as good as rebooting the db because this would do the same) and than make space for the new cursors. The performance is going to be better becausethe cursors would not be getting flushed out immediately and will be kept in the shared pool as long as its not filled up again.Once you have reached to limit of it, again there would be performance benefit. So there are always odds added to the statements like this that I rebuilt my index , I got better, I rebooted my server, my querie are much faster now. Most of the time when these kind of statements are given, they are based on what we have seen, without understading what actually might have happened. So I would siggest to hear the statement but not take them as a rule of thumb to follow.
Hope this all makes some sense for you and would help somewhat.

Oracle Database 11.2.0.1.0 CPU hit 100% on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit Hyper-V

Oracle Environment Detail:
Oracle Database Enterprise Edition :11.2.0.1.0 (NON RAC, No failsafe)
O/S:     Windows 2008 R2 64 bit (6.1)
Specifics: Virtual Server using Hyper-V
Memory: 9 GB RAM
Processor: E5540
Specific about the issue:
I have two database instance created on this server with ‘memory_target=3600M’ each.
I am getting into an issue where I find NO activity on database except regular schedule job running using DBMS_SCHEDULER –
•     Database FULL export DAILY schedule time 7 & 7:30 PM accordingly for both instance (takes about 15-20 mins each)
•     Database FULL RMAN DAILY schedule time 9 & 10 PM accordingly for both instance (takes about 35-40 mins each)
This was set up on Feb 25th 2011. Since then we have encounter CPU hit 100% TWICE in this system at around 8:30 PM (SAME TIME). Both database instance exports keep running and never finish. While RMAN schedule job has NO problem. Mostly everything runs every smoothly without any issue.
Replicate the issue:
I am unable to replicate this issue and do not know the cause of the issue.
Work Around:
Oracle services shutdown/Server reboot.
Would anyone know about this issue? Have any information could help? This system will become production soon and want to make sure we have solution for this.
Thanks in advance!

I am finding that CPU hit 100% is very specific to Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 Export Utility (exp) used to take FULL database export. I understand Original Export is desupported from general use as of 11g but available for specific need.
Have anyone faced this issue with 11.2.0.1.0 Export Utility (exp)? Please help.
I have a need to use export utility which gives us migration options.
Thanks!

Symantec antivirus Best practice for oracle database on windows server 2003

Hi all,
I have an oracle database server on windows server 2003 platform of version 10.2.0.4. what would be best practice of running symantec antivirus on that server as well as database file exclusions from scanning them.
My server had rebooted unexpectedly for many times. in event log i have id as 6008. what may be cause of it..?

Normally, you don't run a virus scanner on a database server because your database server isn't vulnerable to viruses. It's behind firewalls, people aren't reading mail on it, people aren't plugging thumb drives into it, etc. If you do decide that you need to run a virus scanner on a database server, at least exclude the Oracle data files from the scan. Oracle gets very unhappy if someone else tries to open its data files (or, worse, if someone opens a data file before it gets the chance to acquire exclusive access).

Downloading Oracle Database Express Edition

Hi everyone. I just downloaded the freeware Oracle Database Express Edition without any apparent problems. However, when I attempt to go to the Express Edition Homepage, which is location http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex,
I get the message that my Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. (It can, however, display other pages.) I cannot understand why this is the case since I successfully added Web site 127.0.0.1 in my Control Panel (as specified in the instructions.) Also, the instructions stated that HTTP port 8080 was the default port, unless my system said that this was not available (which it did not.) I also tried rebooting, which did not make a difference. Help!

Problem with Oracle database Express Edition (Linux)

I installed oracle-xe on my machine (ArchLinux x64), and all worked fine before a reboot. After it, I still can connnect to the db with sqlplus, but can't connect to apex (http://localhost:8080/apex/f?p=4950) and can't get a connection using ojdbc:
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection.
I tried to reinstall the db several times, but the result was always the same: all is ok only before rebooting. I'm a newer with Oracle database and can't find a solution. Could you give me some tip about it?

The problem was solved by changing permissions for log directory :
sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/lib/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/log

Help!There is a forum dedicated to Express Edition, in which we have discussed a lot of the variants in failure that causes this problem. At the top of the page you are reading, there should be links like "Forum Home » Database » Database - General". The middle one will get you to a list of all Oracle forums and after the first 5, the rest are alphabetical - XE is pretty far down that page.
(You might also note that there is an Installation forum next to this one. That might be better suited to the task than the 'catch-all' general forum.)
The most common issues are related to not preparing the operating system properly. For example, if you use a laptop you probably use DHCP to get a different address from the various sites you connect to. However, Oracle works as a server and depends on having a well known address. In fact, it tends to bind the IP address at install into it's configuration files. Therefore it is critical to use the loopback adapter in such situations.
Other issues are dependent on the actual OS into which you install. For example, Ubuntu (Linux) has very differnet install philosophy as Red Hat / Fedora, and requires a different install technique. Then again, on Windows, it is nearly impossible to install anything Oracle on a Windows 'Home' OS, and XE generally has not even been tested against Windows 7.
Other common reasons include anti-virus; firewall; not having appropriate operating system level permissions; in Windows - using a Domain-based userid instead of a local administrator; and just general finger issues.
Express is considerably different in the install behaviour and runtime behaviour. For example. it uses RPM and MSI instead of Oracle Universal Installer. It does not include Java in the database, which limits a lot of functionality. And it uses the built-in PL/SQL Web Gateway instead of any external HTTP server. As a result, it can be quite a shock to mmany of the regular inhabitants in this forum.
I strongly encourage reading the documentation for XE. In particular, reading the install doc. Start at http://tahiti.oracle.com and look for the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Express Edition documentation. (Just below the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 documentation.)

Install Oracle Application server 10g and Oracle database 10g on same box

Hi Experts!
i need to install Oracle database and oracle application server on the same machine(windows xp).
when i install both of them and reboot the machine either oracle database or oracle application server fails...
i suspect that the problem might be due to two - ORACLE_HOME
let me know how i can resolve this issue.
Note: Oracle DB and OAS OPMN process run as a windows service.
after restart opmn fails
Many thanks in advance
-Raghav

Jacco, in spite of your ace :-) this time I cannot
completely agree with you:
I hope sincerely that this ace thing doesn't "scare" anyone from challengeing me. I can't know everything, even though this ace sign suggests it.
- things like ORACLE_HOME are also set in the system
environment settings. This may lead to conflicts;It does, therefore you should set them with the service (I figured the installer of Oracle would actually do that for you, but I hardly ever work with Windows)
- the database and AS have different versions of the
RSFs. The most recent AS version is using 10.1.0.5
RSFs, where the database uses 10.2.x. This leads to
conflicts.
- Port conflicts are common in the ONS area, however
this should not prevent startup and should not be
very likely at this point since all products use the
same inventory and it should have been checked for
ports that are in use.ons port conflics shouldn't precent startup, but other port conflicts can.

With the total of our posts the problem should be
resolved anyway ;)Exactly, as long as the reader has the proper knowledge to understand them ;)

Server Sizing For Oracle Database

Hi All,
I need a server sizing for the below mentioned architecture:
This application is basically for logistics company which we are planing to host it centrally with two server's one server for application and one for oracle database along with DR site (Other Location). There are four locations and each location will have 20 users who are going to access this application (20 x 4= 80 Users). We are using MPLS network of 35 mbps bandwidth.
1. Application server: Windows server 2008 R2
2. Database Server: Windows server 2008 R2, Oracle 11g r2
I need a server sizing documents.
Thanks........

Thanks........I'd seriously reconsider hosting Oracle db on Windows. Obviously there are many, many shops that do. And obviously it is often a case of the fact that they do not have (and choose to not acquire) expertise in Linux. But I've been in IT for 30+ years and have worked on IBM S-370 and its variants and descendents, Windows since v3, DEC VMS, IBM OS/2, Solaris, AIX, HPUX, and Oracle Linux. The first Oracle database I ever created was on Windows 3.11 and at that point I had never seen *nix. Now I am in a position to state that Windows is the worst excuse of an operating system of any I have ever used. I am constantly amazed/amused by how often (at least once a month on schedule, plus unplanned times) that our Windows SA has to send out a notice that he is re-booting his servers. I can't remember the last time we had to reboot a Linux server ( I have 4 of them)
Yes, I'm biased away from Windows, but that bias comes from experience. Hardly a day goes by that I don't see something that causes me to say to whoever is in earshot "have I told you how much I hate Windows?"I was going to refrain from commenting on that, as I assumed they're a Windows shop and aren't open to any other OS (but my assumption could be incorrect).
I haven't been working in IT for as long as many of the folks around here, only about 10 years. I'm a former system admin that maintained both Linux and Windows servers, but my focus was on Windows. In the right hands, Windows can be rock solid. If a system admin has to reboot Windows servers often, he is most likely doing something wrong, or is rebooting for security updates. It's never as simple as "Windows Sucks," or "Linux Sucks;" it all depends on who's running the system (again, in my opinion).
I have seen some windows servers run uninterrupted for so long no one could remember the admin password. But more often memory leaks and the "weekly update" (replacing last weeks bugs with this weeks) is the culprit.
Yes, it really is sad how often you have to reboot for updates if you want to keep your system current. Mind you, it's better to have the fixes then to not have them (maybe). I rebooted my servers about once every month at my old place... which is not that bad.
With that said, in my experience, Oracle on Windows is a major pain. It takes me much longer to do anything. Once you get proficient with a CLI like the bash shell, the Windows GUI can't compare.Agreed. One of my many complaints about Windows is the poor excuse of a shell processor. I'm pretty proficient in command line scripting, but still cringe when I have to do it. Practically every line of code I write for a command script is accompanied by the remark "this is so lame compared to what I could do with a shell script". Same for vi vs. notepad. But my real problem is the memory leaks and the registry. I'm fairly comfortable hacking certain areas of the registry, but the need to and the arcane linkages between different areas of the registry and how they influence 'process environment' remains a mystery to all but a tiny minority of admins. Compare to *nix where everything is well documented and "knowable".
One (of many) anecdotal experiences, this with my personal Win7 laptop. One time it crashed and refused to reboot. A bit of a google search turned up some arcane keystroke sequence to put it into some sort of recovery mode on bootup .. similar to getting into the bios, but the keystroke sequence was much more complex .. it may have involved standing on one foot while entering the sequence. Anyway, it entered a recovery process I've never seen before or since and repaired everything. My first thought was "hey, that was pretty cool." Then my second thought was 'but only Windows would need such a facility.
Bottom line? To paraphrase a famous Tom Hanks character, "My momma always said Windows was like a box of chocolates. You never know just what you'll get."Haha... I like that one. Yes, the registry is definitely horrible. It's amazing to me that a single point of failure was Microsoft's answer to INI files.
I think Windows and nix have their places. Server work definitely seems more productive to me in a nix environment, but I think I'd jump off a cliff if I had to use it as my desktop environment day-in-day-out. The other problem is application lock-down; I can't blame the OS for that, but it's a reality... and using virtualization to run those applications seems to defeat the point to me.

Oracle RAC 10.2G reboots node every 45 minutes

Hello:
- We have installed Oracle RAC 10.2G for Solaris X86 ( 64 bit ).
- On one node, there are no issues. But the other node ( I think )
is being rebooted by CRS every 45 minutes or so.
- Is this issue caused by some misconfiguration I did during the install ?
- Or is there a patch available to fix this ?
- Has anyone else encountered this problem ?
Thanks
jlem

Hello:
- I re-installed Oracle RAC. The nodes were only rebooted once so far.
So, the second install may be ok. If not, I have provided answers to the first email reply.
- Any help given is most welcome. In meantime, I will continue searching the oracle forums
for solutions.
- My environment is:
- both nodes are running under vmware ESX server version 3.0.1
- the shared storage for OCR and Voting Disk is a raw shared device under vmware
- both nodes are using Solaris X86 5.10 update 5
- Oracle version is: 10.2.0.3 ( patched from version 10.2.0.1 )
- My public network configuration is:
