Oracle for Sparc different than x86?

Does anyone know if there is different versions of Oracle 8i for Solaris on a Sparc or x86? Thanks

Hello,
if you ask if the (Oracle) binaries are identical. No, these are different processor architectures.
In case you are asking if one of the versions (SPARC or X86 Solaris) is newer. I think the SPARC version is of cause newer (Oracle 8i SPARC is the cash cow)! The last Oracle 8i I have seen for X86 SPARC was 8.1.6. It came with my Solaris 8 Intel media kit (which is rather old). The SPARC version is 8.1.7. with patchlevel 8.1.7.4.
Have a look at the Oracle web site (http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle8i/content.html). Oracle 8i SPARC is under "Archived Products" still available for download. The version for X86/Intel Solaris is not available for download, you must order a media kit from Oracle.

Install Oracle for SPARC on intel machine?

can i install oracle for SPARC on a Solaris x86 box?
As I am not able to find right version for it.

Not, you can not do it because a version made up for Sparc is adjusted to the assembler for that processor. The assembler language of Sparc and Intel are different.

Has anyone installed 9i for Solaris8(for SPARC) on Solaris8- X86 (for Intel)

Has anyone installed 9i (9.0.1.1) on solaris8-X86 (intel). I know it is not available on the Oracle website for download. I was wondering if anyone has tried installing the sparc version on Intel.
I have done the same for 8i but don't know if it can be done for 9i.
Thanks

I know this seems silly, but an "eval" version of 9i for Solaris Intel was available from the Oracle Store for the cost of the media. I have also found when I went from Solaris 8 10/01 to Solaris 8 02/02 that 9i came with the OS for the Sparc. I haven't upgraded my Intel boxes yet so I don't know if the same trick applies!
Not quite what you asked, but....

Oracle VM Server for SPARC Management Platforms

Upon doing some nominal research, I see that the Oracle VM for x86 platform is significantly more robust (at least at first glance) with regards to migrations/interface/etc. Where is the equivalent of Oracle VM Manager for SPARC? Is the Oracle Enterprise Manager with Virtualization Managment pack the tool that most people are using? Our virtualization offering, centers around the market share leader with regards to x86, at least at current. We would like to boost our product line with a similar service built on SPARC but it seems as if the product is too young to do that? I'm hoping that I'm wrong and just haven't found the right documentation. I'm also trying to get an appointment set up with the sales team to discuss.

It's true there does seem to be a wide gap in the UI aspect of Oracle VM for SPARC vs. Oracle VM x86. Personally I like the UI for the x86 platform better than the OEM 11g with Ops Center plugin for LDoms. However, I believe both UIs lack some robustness. In our case, we currently do not use a UI (for many reasons, mainly bugs and lack of certain CLI functionality). In the SPARC arena, it is extremely simple to script everything for the Oracle VM SPARC product (including HA scenarios). Once we build out the infrastructure, almost everything we do (provisioning, reporting, decommissioning) is done via simple perl scripting which is the power of not having a UI. However, a better UI for Oracle VM for SPARC is desirable for managing multiple environments/groupings, etc..

License for cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86

I'd like to do cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86 using gcc (for linux). To do that, I have to copy libraries (/lib/64) and includes (/usr/include) from a sparc machine to my linux machine.
The compilation will be run on about (up to) 50 Linux machines (by various developers). We also have 3 solaris-10-SPARC machines.
I wonder if Solaris license allows me to copy the includes and libs to perform compilation elsewhere.
I also checked "OTN License Agreement for Oracle Solaris", but it looks like Oracle allows for installing "the programs" on up to 3 machines, but I need it on 50.
Thanks for any suggestions or redirections to a proper place where I can get an answer.

When installing Solaris 10 01/06 on a Dell 1850 I receive an error message during the install saying "no disk found". I assume that the drive/controller is not recognized. The Dell 1850 is listed under the HCL for Solaris 10 10/06. I don't believe I can use the Solaris(TM) Device Driver for the LSI MegaRAID Adapter floppy with 1/06. I don�t have any other Solaris boxes up so I can�t build a jump start server. Any suggestions?

What all Operating System are Supported on Oracle VM Server for Sparc ?

hi,
Does Oracle VM Server for Sparc Support's Solaris OS of different version
or it also supports linux & windows OS also...
thnaks in advance....

The modern SPARC platform ( sun4v ) is locked in Solaris. No chances for open-source OS'es like Linux or *BSD.
This is because the important hardware documentation is closed ( known only to Sun / Oracle engineers ). For example:
  * virtualization features of CPU are documented only at hypervisor-call level (part of Sun servers' firmware), and only partially.
  * CPU errata are closed ( Some errata for old UltraSPARC III were opened during OpenSolaris project, but that's all).
  * crypto features ( SPU and MAU ) are closed.

Oracle VM for SPARC

Hi there,
I am a Solaris enthusiast who recently purchased a second hand Sun Fire v210 with 2 CPU's and 4 GB of RAM.
Now I am running Solaris 10 (sparc) on it and I want to toy around with virtual machines on it this is because I would like to run OS X and if possible x86 Linux inside a VM.
Since I am just a hobbyist and i dont have the funds to purchase expensive software does anybody have any suggestions on what software to use and where to get it?
With kind regards,
Gertjan

You can't run x86 software on the SPARC platform, so neither MacOS X nor Linux compiled for x86 would work. I'm also not even sure if the UltraSPARC processor in that v210 supports Oracle VM for SPARC (formerly LDOMs), but I'm not a Solaris expert. Essentially, if it is supported, you will be able to run Solaris guests on your SPARC, but that's pretty much it.

If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
Thanks

Sorry you get only one notification sound for all email accounts. you can send a suggestion to apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

I want to install Oracle VM VirtualBox on my laptop and then install Oracle VM for Sparc System in Virtual Box, is it possible?
Please kindly give advice,
Thanks and regards,

I tried to transfer purchases from my iPod to a new computer, but for some of the songs it asks for a different Apple ID and password than mine. Ideas?

You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

DW Code View font different for one .aspx than all others???

Mornin' All!
I can't for the life of me figure out why the font in this
one .aspx (welcome.aspx) is different than all other files on this
site. When I go EDIT > PREFERENCES > FONTS here is what is
shown when welcome.aspx is the file currently opened:
Font Settings: Japanese
Code View: MS Gothic Size: 10pt (small)
I tried changing this from "Japanese" to Western European,
but after I click OK nothing happens, and when I go back in to Font
Preferences it's back to Japanese.
Welcome2.aspx and all other pages show these settings: (this
is how the code view has looked on ALL pages until today)
Font Setting: Western European
Code View: Courier New Size: 9pt
What do I need to do to get welcome.aspx to let go of the
Japanese font settings?
Thanks in advance,
Ron

10.1.0.3 Oracle client for SPARC (64-bit) not on Metalink

All,
I cannot find the 10.1.0.3 Oracle client on Metalink account for SPARC. Is this available anywhere?

You have to download the base version also, not only patch set!
To get the patch set:
click tab Patches & Updates, then click link "Quick links to latest ...".
Now choose Oracle Database, scroll down to Solaris SPARC 64bit -> patch set versions 10.1.0.3 to 10.1.0.5.
As far as I know, I dont deal with Client installs much, you can upgrade both Client and Database with the "Database" patch sets.
