Oracle Linux 5.7 on VMWare player Issue

I am attempting to Install Oracle Linux 5.7 on Vmware player. When "installing VMTools" via the command prompt, this is what happens when I run the config tool. In the end I run into this error. I am looking for help on what the error means and what I need to do about it:
X is running file with the new config file
Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel.

If you have the mkinitrd line it's trying to run, you'll have to add --builtin=ehci-hcd* to the line for the initrd to build properly.

How to access Oracle Apps 11i forms using Vmware Player?

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Apps 11i on native OS OEL5 Server and guest OS Windows XPP using Vmware Player.Now how to access Oracle Apps 11i forms from Windows XPP using Vmware on my OEL5 Server Desktop?
Thank's

Hi,
If you mean how to access eBusiness Suite from within the Virtual Machine, then you just navigate to the same URL you normally would. You may need to put the machine alias in your hosts file if you are referencing it via machine name rather than IP address.
If you mean that you want to load the form in forms builder (for example) then you need to FTP the form from server to client (as you normally would) and then open it in your client (XP virtual machine).
If you want to use Workflow Builder (as per your original requirement) then you need to ensure that the TNSNAMES.ora file in the Workflow Builder home has an entry for your instance on Linux, and then you should be able to connect to the database directly.

Network problems with Oracle Linux 5.7 on Vmware ESX 4.1

We recently installed Oracle Linux 5.7 64 on Vmware in order to run OVM Manager 3.02. The VM experiences random frequent network connectivity problems. There are no errors showing up in the network stats. The Vmware environment hosts many production VMs with no issues. We did have some trouble configuring Vmware tools with the uek kernel, so we booted the vm with the base kernel and we were then able to configure Vmware tools with no problems. We have tried running the VM on two different ESX servers with no improvement.
The network connectivity problems persist even with the base kernel. We get random ping failures into and out of the VM, and random disconnects of ssh terminal sessions.
I am not very experienced with linux, being primarily a vmware and aix admin. Any tips on stabilizing Oracle Linux on Vmware are greatly appreciated otherwise, I will have to beg for a new server to host the OVM manager.
Thanks,
Bob

The network connectivity problems persist even with the base kernel. We get random ping failures into and out of the VM, and random disconnects of ssh terminal sessions.Before you check on software and driver updates you might want to check your hardware settings. I've seen problems like this before when using a bad network cable or having a duplex mismatch. The later can happen when changing from a router to a network switch and configuring the switch for fixed full duplex. Depending on which end you sit you won't even see any network errors, but packages will disappear depending on traffic. Make sure you have set server's NIC and network switch port to the same topology ie. fixed or auto-negotiate, but not mixed. You can use the "ethtool" on the Linux system to verify the current settings.

Installing RAC on Oracle Linux 6.3 using VMWare ESX

Hi
I have configured a pair of Linux servers following a guide on Oracle-base.
Both servers have their own OS disks and they have four virtual disks that are shared between the two vm's (configured as sharable in VMWare using a separate SCSI controller to the OS disks etc.
The /u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid/root.sh script is failing at what appears to be the part where the daemons are added to the inittab the error i get is :
CRS-4124: Oracle High Availability Services startup failed.
CRS-4000: Command Start failed, or completed with errors.
ohasd failed to start: Inappropriate ioctl for device
ohasd failed to start at /u01/app/11.2.0.3/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl line 443.
I have found a few notes of the Internet suggesting disabling IPv6 (It's already disabled)
Restarting syslog
and removing some file in varoius tmp dirs (there were none)
But i'm getting the feeling the issue is with the shared disk config.
Can anyone point me to log files etc so i can troubleshoot this further?

I guys I have run into same problem. Is there a solution for this or not.
OS: OEL 6.3 x86_64
ASM 2.0

Hi.
After installing oracle linux 6.4 in vmware (9 and 10) shared folders still not visible in guest os.

Thank you so much!

vmware products need patching for kernel 2.6.35 - you didn't mention if you did that or not, but if you didn't, that would explain why vmware is not starting.

No GUI after reboot for Oracle Linux 6 installation

I am trying to resolve an Oracle Linux 6.2 (64 bit) installation issue. I selected Oracle Linux server default setup and after the reboot, the X-Window or KDE GUI graphical
interface does not come up. Instead, I get a command line prompt. Any idea how to resolve this issue to get an Oracle Linux 6 installation with graphical interface?

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.

Oracle Linux 6 installation FAILURE on VMWare virtual machine

I just downloaded OEL 6.0 x64, created a new VMWare virtual machine (I have many VMWare VMs running various flavors of OEL 5) and did an installation. It all seemed to work fine. I was just testing, so I didn't do any customization. It finished, and looked good, just like all the other ones I've done. I clicked "reboot", and it did. Or it tried to.
It did boot from the disk, but after about 15 seconds, it said:
No root device found
Boot has failed, sleeping forever.
I retried the installation using a fresh VM, and even let the installer check the whole DVD first. Same result.
Anyone installed OEL 6 to a virtual machine on VMWare ESX?
Any idea what the heck could be wrong?

The problem is:
The Red Hat compatible kernel includes the vmw_pvscsi driver whereas Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel doesn’t. The kernel that the installer boots first does have the drivers, which is why everything is set up fine until UEK tries to find the root volume. It's an issue we plan to address in an updated kernel.
For now the workaround is:
When creating a new VM in VSphere, do not pick Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 x86-64 as the OS type but use Oracle Linux 5 x86-64 (or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5). ESX will then expose the LSI logic scsi controller to the OS and the 2.6.32-100.28.* kernel will work.

Issue with VMware player - trying to install Windows 7 on a virtual machine

I'm currently using the basic version of VMware player (not the pro version)
I create a new virtual machine. VMware player automatically detects my Windows 7 bit installation disc
in my attached CD/DVD drive.
in the next screen, i select my operating system version and fill in my windows license key
then there is a progress bar with the title "creating disc" which takes about 10 minutes to complete
after installation, the virtual machine launches.
It says (white on black background)
Network boot from Intel E1000
PXE-E53: no boot filename recived
PXE-M0F Existing Intel PXE Rom.
Operating system not found.
on the bottom of the virtual machine window it says "easy install is installing Windows 7 64 bit",
however my CD/DVD drive is not spinning and there is no progress leaving this alone for 30 minutes.
I then rebooted the Virtual Machine and went into the bios to update the boot order
with the CDrom 1st, then the hard drive and then the network.
I still get the same errors.
I also tried the same process with my Windows Xp installation disc, same issues
Any advice would be appreciated

Jmattson, good idea I'll try the manual install. user "aka", I did check the bios, intel virtualization is enabled.

How to connect Oracle Linux 6 on vmware without GUI

Hi Guys,
I've setup Oracle Linux 6 as Vmware Guest (on External Driver) and Windows 7 as Host. And I'm running Oracle EBS R12 on Linux.
When I'm login to VMWare the Linux starts up with GUI which is just a waste of resources.
Please let me know how can I run the Linux 6 in text mode on VMWare.

In addition to Dude's comments ... it sounds like you are connecting to your vm machine via the vmware console. Personally, I treat that console just like I treat the console on my physical servers in my data center. That is, I don't run down to the data center whenever I need to log on to a linux server. That's what remote console programs such as putty are for. I have a suite of 10 linux vm's on my Win7 desktop, and one of my 4 "Prime Directives" is that I access them using exactly the same Windows desktop tools I use to access my physical servers.

How to increase the screen resolution of oracle linux 4 in vmware?

I have installed Oracle Linux Release 4 Update 8 for x86 (32 Bit) - DVD V16749-01 on vmaware for running oracle database 10g xe on my laptop. But its screen resolution is not greater than 800x600, (800x600 very small for my laptop which have 1366x768 screen resolution). Please provide any plugin or software that can increase the resolution of oracle linux 4 in vmare.
my laptop: hp pavilion dm4 1222tx , O.S. windows 7 (home basic) 64 bit.
thanks in advance.

You will need to extract the contents of the compressed tar.gz archive and run the vmware-install.pl perl script as sudo or root.
- Open Terminal from the Applications/System Tools Menu inside the Guest OS
- Type "su -" and enter the password for root
- Type "cd /etc/yum.repos.d"
- Type "wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el4.repo"
- Edit public-yum-el4.repo and set enabled=1 of the corresponding section matching your OEL version.
- Install additional software packages typing "yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc"
- Select Install/Upgrade VMware Tools from the VM/Guest menu
- Type "cd /media/cdrom"
- Type "tar -C /tmp -zxvf /media/cdrom/VMwareTools-8.8.2-590212.tar.gz"
- Type "cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib"
- Type "./vmware-install.pl"

Hi,
When we install Acroread 32 bit on oracle linux 6.1 64 bit vm's losing access to VNC console, seeing just black screen in console. I think 32 bit libraries is causing the issue. I would like to know if 64 bit Acroread is available to install on Oracle linux 6.1 64 bit vm's. We are using Oracle Application for printing pdf files which used acroread to open pdf files. Please suggest on this.
Thanks

By Acrowriter I guess you mean Acrobat. Hasn't been available for a *ux platform since 3.0 over 15 years ago.
