Oracle ENT Linux Install ??

I downloaded 64bit linux from oracle about 8cds. During the installation it ask for cd 2 and when put cd 2 getting error saying not a linux CDROM.
I validated the media disc 2 with the linux utility it came with.
Has anyone seen this issue.??

Hi,
It's seems like your CD have some problem on the file .discinfo.you can mount the cd and check on the file with other CD and there should be just only one difference that the CD's number between the content of .dicinfo on different CD.
You can re-download this ISO from oracle ULN and re-burn this CD.
Best Regards
terry

  • Oracle 9i linux install

    I'm having problems installing disk 2 of oracle 9ias linux edition is thier anyone else having this same problem?

    Nop,
    It should runs okay.
    It could become a problem if you run it directly from file manager.
    What do you mean by problem, is it mean that you cannot change CD?
    I think you should try to run in through terminal in KDE Window and when the installer ask for second CD, you should change your current directory and eject the CDROM

  • Oracle Enterprise Linux - Installing Oracle

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to install Oracle on Oracle Enterprise Linux. I know, I know...it seems silly to install Oracle on Oracle enterprise Linux. What seems even more ridiculous is that the default install does not include everything you'd need to install Oracle. Here's the error...it's all over Google, but none of the solutions are working for me. Looks like I just need a package, but where do I get it?

    There was a very similar question a few hours ago. You may want to check the answer:
    Packages error while installing Oracle Management Agent.
    Please always post the 4 digit version of Oracle you are trying to install and also the Oracle Linux version / distribution you are using.
    Since you are using Oracle Linux you can use Oracle public yum. Details are here:
    http://public-yum.oracle.com/
    Then all you need to do as root or superuser is:
    yum install libXp.i386
    You may also want to install:
    yum install oracle-validated
    which will also setup the account, kernel parameters, etc.
    Oracle Enterprise Linux is a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which should explain why it does not include everything you'd need to install Oracle database. As of Oracle Linux 5.5 the product was renamed from OEL to OL and since 5.6 the default kernel is Oracle Linux UEK, which is Oracle customized.

  • Oracle on Linux install

    After downloading the three Oracle on Linux disks, reading the installation instructions, making accounts, mount paths, etc. I run the installer and everything goes well until I receive this one error. The error says:
    Error in writing to file
    /u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.1.0.0/assistants/dbca/templates/Data_Warehouse.dfj
    I believe that because of this error the install fails. I also get several errors with makefiles and linking if that is relevant (I can also post those errors).
    The system I am trying to install this on is a SGI 1100 (RedHat 7.2, 512 MB RAM, Dual P3 800 MHz CPUs). Thanks in advance.

  • Oracle Webgate Linux Install Question

    Hello
    When trying to install the 10.1.4.3 webgate on RHEL 6, the install starts then says loading the Java Virtual machine then just stops.  There is no log or other trace files to see what is going on, it just stops.  Has anyone else had this problems?  Any help you can give would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Nick

    Hi Nick,
    Can you specify for which web server you are installing Webgate in Linux??
    Did you verified that the required GCC Libraries are installed in the Linux Servers.
    OAM WebGates are compiled with and linked to the following GCC runtime libraries, which must be present on any Linux or Solaris computer hosting 10.1.4.3 WebGates:
    Ø  Either shared libstdc++.so.5
    Ø  Or shared libstdc++.so.6
    Ø  And libgcc_s.so.1
    And also verify that the Linux Operating System is 32-bit or 64-bit and based on this JAVA JDK should be same as OS type.
    And also verify, that particularly before installing the Webgate 32-bit or 64-bit based on the Webserver type.
    Hope this helps.

  • Oracle Ent Linux after installation

    I installed OEL 5.0 and after all installation is finised and Rebooted the machine its turn off automatically and said OUT OF RANGE ... i Think is an error with the video and before intall I Typed : linux resolution=1024x768
    but still getting the same error ...
    thx

    The out of range error usually means your monitor can not display the video modus the card has set.
    In order to resolve, press CTRL+ALT and while holding press F1. That should give you a character based login.
    Login as root, and go to /etc/X11 (cd /etc/X11)
    Now edit xorg.conf (vi xorg.conf)
    Go to: Section "Screen" and look for SubSection "Display"
    If not already present, add or modify the line(s) with: Modes, and only list "1024x768" there.
    Another possiblity, which also can be checked in the xorg.conf file, is the horizontal and vertical refresh rate, look for the words "HorizSync" and "Vertrefresh", and check and change the rates for your monitor (the refresh rates can be found on the internet and/or in the booklet you've gotten with your monitor)

  • Oracle on Linux - opinions ?

    I'm after a source of info relating to the pro's and con's of running Oracle 8i on a Linux platform. If anyone can suggest a suitable Website or independant White paper that would be great ! Thanks.

    For the record, we support Oracle 8i and Oracle Applications 11i on a number of platforms including Sun, NT/2000, Linux and HP-UX so I have no bones to pick with any vendor (or rather, I have bones to pick with nearly all).
    For my money, Sun is hands down the most stable platform for Oracle but you pay up front for not having to pull your hair out, later. In stark contrast, the Linux du jour will be cheap on startup costs but better hope that you aren't paying your dba/system admininstrator by the hour (more, later).
    Somewhere in the middle (muddle) is NT/2000 which seems to install fairly easily and provides a GUI interface to almost everything which keeps you from having to know what you are doing, but, NT/2000 seems to hang, inexplicably, from time to time, even on a fresh install, so I could not rate it the most reliable platform. Also, the 8i/Active Directory integration stinks. Better to scrap it and get a real-life LDAP server if you are going to use LDAP for authentication.
    Now, to Linux. The problem, here, is complicated. First of all, you have a couple of kernels to choose from (not RedHat/Corel, rather, 2.2.x versus 2.4.x) each of which has strengths and weaknesses. Then, you have what the vendors have done to Linux, which frequently makes it worse. For example, RedHat decided to release 7.0 with a developmental version of the C compiler (2.96) which they probably thought that they could do because they now own Cygnus, but I ended up having to strip it down and build a Linux From Scratch (LFS) system, just so I had some purity.
    You could go to RedHat 6.0/6.1/6.2 but then make sure that your Linux box isn't on the Internet because you have enough holes in the OS to walk a flock of cattle through.
    To my mind, Oracle should skip the various vendor implementations of Linux and, instead, release a reference implementation on an LFS system. It would be far cleaner and vendor neutral and besides, if you want Oracle you probably don't want most of the garbage that comes from commercial Unix vendors, anyway, so LFS makes sense.
    In any event, don't expect the Oracle on Linux install to be easy unless you get the vendor (e.g. RedHat) release, and then you have to deal with the vendor quirks in the OS. If you want a cheap platform, spend a few extra bucks and get 2000/Intel or, get a cheap Sun on eBay and get a near bullet-proof implementation where at least you won't have to worry about whether it is a Service Pack or libc version issue.

  • Oracle Ent. Linux  drivers for HP Smart Array B110i Sata Raid Controller

    Trying to install Oracle Ent. Linux (OEL) release 4 update 8 on HP DL 180 G6 server. Where we can find OEL drivers for the sata raid controller ?
    (HP Smart Array B110i Sata Raid Controller)
    Thanks in advance.

    The HP support side shows a Linux certification matrix at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert.html
    From there you can also download the necessary drivers and instructions or use HP smartstart CD which prepares the system for the OS you need to install. Oracle Enterprise Linux is binary compatible with RHEL. You will need to click on "Archive" to see support for Enterprise Linux version 4 and older.

  • Guide to installing XE and Apex on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 (64 bit)

    I have just been through a time consuming and frustrating process of installing Oracle XE 10gR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 x86-64 and I want to share my experience so that others can benefit from it and overcome the same problems more quickly.
    Prior to starting I had installed OEL 5.3 and been using it for a few days. The system I am using is a home built box with an AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition, 8 Gb RAM, Highpoint RR2680 RAID controller with 4 1TB disks in a RAID5 array and an additional 320Gb HDD storing the OS. I am using KDE3.5 on the desktop.
    The main problem I encountered was with SELinux. As I eventually intend to have this system exposed on the Internet I was reluctant to switch it off despite having read extensively about the issues surrounding it and Oracle. I had several failed attempts at the installation process before succumbing to the reality that SELinux and Oracle are not happy bedfellows. I decided to switch SELinux to permissive mode having followed the advice here.
    I found a very helpful guide to installing XE on Linux here as part of the installation of an application called Spacewalk. Note that you do not need to complete the whole Spacewalk installation, but just follow the instructions in the linked page.
    Before you start you need to ensure that the UID of your oracle user is less than 500. Mine was 500, so I used the following commands to fix this:
    usermod -u 250 oracle
    find / -uid 500 -exec chown oracle {} \;
    These change the oracle UID to 250 (but check that isn't already used first!) and the find command searches for all files that were owned by oracle (but weren't after the usermod cmd) and changes them back to oracle's ownership.
    Now follow the Spacewalk instructions until you reach the Server Setup section. Before you do this you need to make a couple of changes to the script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe. I found these changes in various places, such as [link(1)|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1345771&#1345771] and [link(2)|http://dbataj.blogspot.com/2008/08/lblibrarypath-is-not-set-on-startup.html].
    Note that in link(1) the oracle-xe-selinux packages installed have the same effect as the chcon command on the shared libraries so it isn't necessary to perform this step.
    Open /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in vi (or your favourite editor) and do the following:
    line 49: change /bin/su to /sbin/runuser
    after line 52 (export PATH...) add the following lines:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    There are further changes recommended to /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in [this post|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3201491&#3201491] but I haven't done them yet.
    Having done the above changes you can now configure Oracle XE by running /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure (as root!). As I have Apache Tomcat running on port 8080 I changed the default HTTP port to 8500 but kept the listener on its default port of 1521. Once the confuration script is done you will need to change the ports SELinux uses for Oracle as follows:
    semanage port -d -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 9000 - deletes port 9000, which is the SELinux default port for Apex
    semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 1521 - ensure that listener port is OK (assuming you used default of 1521, change accordingly if you didn't)
    semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 8500 - add the new Apex HTTP port to SELinux
    After all this running:
    semanage port -l | grep oracle
    should show you:
    oracle_port_t tcp 1521, 8500
    I ignored the TNSNAMES.ORA part of the Spacewalk instructions and proceeded with the 'Client setup on 64bit platform' and 'Configuring sqlplus' sections.
    For the latter I created a bash script which I have made available in the oracle user and my own user's home directories:
    cat > configure_oracle_10g_xe.sh
    ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
    PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    ORACLE_SID=XE
    export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    I did this as I intend to install other Oracle databases, e.g. 11gR2, on this box later so I didn't want to put the above in .bashrc.
    Having done the above you should be able to log into the database using sqlplus and the XE setup is complete.
    The upgrade of Apex 2.2 to Apex 3.2.1 was fairly painless so I won't go into much detail about it - just follow the instructions provided by Oracle.
    The only issue I had was right at the end of the process and is documented and answered in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=958611&tstart=0].
    That's it - I hope somebody will find this useful.

    On Oracle Metalink site, there are many documents which says that Oracle 32 bit software works on 32 bits OS and 64 bits software works on 64 bits OS. Official support is only in those combination....
    So there is no good way to help you in your case-XE is 32 bit application with hard codded compiled libraries which most of them would not work on 64 bit OS.
    Sorry

  • How to install Oracle Enterprised Linux on VMware PLayer 4

    Hi Everyone,
    My name is John and I've a small issue which I would like to share with you and hopefully, you are able to assist.
    My laptop is installed with a Window 7 Home Edition operating system and I've installed VMware-player-4.0.2. After reboot, I've also downloaded the file - V29609-01 which is the ISO file of Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2.
    After that, I've tried to create a Virtual Machine - Oracle Enterprise Linux using the VMware Player by specifying the path and file name of the V29609-01.iso file on my local c:\ drive. I've tried it several times, but every time it just returns the message - 'pxe-e53 no boot filename received' and it just hangs there without proceeding further. Please let me know what I've done wrong and the correct steps and procedures to solve this problem as this is my first time installing a Linux operating system. Thank you for your assistance.
    Regards,
    John

    Hi,
    Can you clarify and explain what is your exact meaning of 'Are you sure you've added the ISO to the VM to boot from?'? Because the following is what I did:
    1.) Click the Create A New Virtual Machine.
    2.) Select the 'Install disc image file (iso):' option and enter the full path of the V29609-01.iso (Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2) file that I've downloaded from https://edelivery.oracle.com/. But underneath it, that is a message saying - 'Could not detect which operating systems is in this dsic image. You will need to specify which operating system will be installed.'
    3.) Click 'Next'.
    4.) I chose "Linux' under the Guest operating system and chose 'Oracle Enterprise Linux' under the Version drop down.
    5.) Click 'Next'.
    6.) I left the Virtual machine name as 'Oracle Enterprise Linux' and click 'Next'.
    7.) I set the Maximum disk size to 300 GB and have the 'Split virtual disk into multiple files' option selected and click 'Next'.
    8.) I have the 'Power on this virtual machine after creation' checked and click 'Finish'.
    9.) A black screen displayed inside the VMware Player saying:
    'CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 0C 289 ......
    PXE-E53: No Boot filename received
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
    Operating System not found
    10.) And the process just hangs there.
    Regards,
    John
