Oracle Linux 5 or higher version hardware certification information

Dear All ,
I need to install oracle linux 5 update 4 or higher on server HP server. Hence I want to know the cerfication information on corresponding hardware,
Below is hardware detail
HP ProLiant DL785 Generation 5 (G5)
4* AMD Opteron 8393, Quad Core @ 3.1 GHz scalable to 8CPU, 64GB RAM, 8*300 HDD, 4*GbE, DVD, 2*dual port HBA
Please let me know if there is any cerfication issue of oracle linux on above mentioned hardware.
Thanks ,
Raj

I suggest to check the HP Linux certification matrix (Archive) at:

Why is your "requirement" to install in graphical mode? Once you are past the installation itself, the only thing that buys you is that your server will have been configured to boot up to runlevel 5, running a graphical desktop (gnome or kde, I forget which). And what does THAT buy you on a server?
I do not run ANY of my Linux servers "in graphical mode" -- running a graphical desktop. Nor did I run a graphical desktop when I had Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX servers.

Oracle Linux and UEK versions support matrix

I am trying to find a support matrix that lists all the various OL5 and OL6 versions and the UEK kernels supported by each of them.
For example OL6.4 supports 2.6.39-300 and 2.6.39-400 UEK2 kernels. But does it support 2.6.39-100 and 2.6.39-200 kernels too. I have searched everywhere for this information, but not able to find so far.
I need a complete list of all OL5 and OL6 versions and the UEK kernels supported on them. any help is greatly appreciated.
Gopi

on top of that, ol6 and ol5 each one have their own uek_latest and latest channel, and the RPMS have .ol6 or ol5 in the name, are not interchangable
example, all the kernel-uek kernels availables for ol6 are:

Oracle Linux hardware certification question

Hello,
Our company is considering running the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server and I've been tasked with determining the best OS/HW platforms to run it on. For the OS, I'd like to run Oracle Linux with the UEK. I would prefer that we run this on a VM (we're currently at vSphere4.1) but VMware doesn't appear in the HW Cert list (http://linux.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=117:1:4073041665385184:::::) at all. So barring a VM I'd like to run on a Cisco UCS B200 M2 Blade Server.
Since the hardware certification list referenced above indicates this HW has been certified on OL v5.7, but not any other releases I'm assuming no one has certified later releases on that same HW platform. If a HW platform is certified on a certain release will I be able to get Oracle support for later Oracle Linux releases on that same HW platform?
I really don't want to start out several revs behind on the OS.
Of course the latest RPAS install doc indicates the application is supported on OL v5.5, but I think the question of whether or not I can run it on later releases is probably for another forum. I've decided to start with the OS / HW questions first.
Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hi Todd,
I believe your question is answered in the FAQ: http://linux.oracle.com/hcl_faq.html#_4
To which Oracle Linux and Oracle VM releases does a hardware certification apply?
An Oracle Linux or Oracle VM hardware certification applies to the posted releases and subsequent minor releases until a new hardware certification is posted. For example, a hardware certification posted for Oracle Linux 6.1 applies to Oracle Linux 6.2, Oracle Linux 6.3 and so forth until new hardware certification is posted. This rule only applies to minor releases, so a certification for Oracle Linux 6 does not apply to Oracle Linux 5 nor does a certification for Oracle Linux 5 automatically apply to Oracle Linux 6.

Oracle Linux licencing.

Hi all.
we already have license for oracle database , oracle apps R12
now we want our old server to be migrated from AIX to Linux
do we need to pay for extra license
in this case how oracle will charge on cpu based or user based.
"for oracle Linux 6.4 which hardware should be used for better performance
like intel - {ibm, hp, dell}"
Regards
Kaleem.

Hi Kaleem,
Are you asking about your OS licensing (Linux itself) or are you asking about the licensing for the database and apps? If you're asking about Linux, others have already answered.
If you're asking about the database/apps licensing, Oracle will transfer your existing licenses (which could answer whether you get processor or named user licensing) but they calculate the license requirements differently for different processors so it's possibly not going to be a straight 1-for-1 swap.
Have a read through the licensing documents for each of the products you have to get an idea what you're looking at - then I'd advise that you speak to your account manager at Oracle. I've found them to be very helpful in the past and it's better to get it "straight from the horses mouth" than guess and then find out during an audit in a few years that you've been paying for licenses you don't need.. or worse, that you've been running without enough licenses.
Hope that helps.

Oracle 11gR2 certification for Oracle Linux 6

Hello,
According to Oracle documentation, database certification and support for Oracle 11gR2 under Oracle Linux starts with 11.2.0.3.
I was wondering if this might have anything to do with the i386 software prerequisites. Speaking of Oracle 11gR2 x86_64, the need for i386 libraries was removed with 11gR2 11.2.0.2. Or in other words, one can go straight to 11.2.0.2 without the need to install any 32-bit libraries.
Under Oracle Linux 5 x86_64, the "oracle-validated" package triggers the installation of several i386 packages. Under Oracle Linux 6 x86_64, the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package uses x86_64 only. Under Oracle Linux 6, i386 changed to i686.
For what it's worth, I have installed Oracle 11gR2 database 11.2.0.1 under Oracle Linux 6.1 to 6.3, both x86_64, simply by using the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package, and so far have not noticed any problems. Is there some information available, why 11.2.0.1 (x86_64) should not be used or is not certified for Oracle Linux 6 (x86_64)?
Thanks.

I was afraid of that. Since the question is Oracle Linux 6 specific, I thought I'd try my luck here, thinking that if I get an answer, then probably here. Maybe it was not very realistic to get an answer anyway.
For what it's worth. Using "oracle-validated" under Oracle Linux 5, and "oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall" under Oracle Linux 6, I was able to install Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1 just fine, both platforms x86_64 and 32-bit. I have not found any operational issues yet and it seems to run perfectly well.
The only trouble I had was with Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.1, and here 11.2.0.3 is indeed required for it to install. I made a custom patch, just a few lines and after that 11.2.0.1, both x86_64 and 32-bit installed just fine and is fully operational.
I'm though I could post the patch. I guess it might make those people happy who do not have access to Oracle support and download 11.2.0.3. The patch will allow them to use the 11gR2 OTN version and install it under Oracle Linux 6. It won't be certified, but it is good enough for the purpose of education.
I'm closing the thread.

Oracle 11g grid control software for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 version

Hi,
Just curious to know when Oracle 11g grid control software for Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 version will be released. If already released, can you post the link?

What is the best installlation document to follow for the latest EM Grid control ?The latest Grid Control is available for download at http://download.oracle.com (Scroll down to "Enterprise Management"). There is a README beside the download link. THAT README PROVIDES INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS.
In a nutshell, you install the lowest version (10.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.2, which ever is lower for your Grid Control platform), and then apply the 10.2.0.5 patch according to the readme. That should not normally take more than a day.

That can be found using the self-help portal: http://otn.oracle.com -> Products : Enterprise Management (left edge menu). In the 'Product Focus' area, you will notice 'Application Management' which will lead you to the appropriate data sheets and supporting information.

Oracle Linux 6 Certification for HP small servers

Hi all.
We have been selling small - medium servers and services for our clients. By small i mean servers like HP Proliant series, ranging from ML110 and higher. Also IBMs like X3200 X3400, X3600 and so on .... What we normally do is sell these servers with Oracle Linux, Oracle Database and an Oracle Application we developed. We advise clients to purchase Oracle Support for Linux, which they might or might not take, and Oracle support for the Database.
Normally, we check the OS supported for that Server and if RHEL is supported, we are safe to install Oracle Linux, since, they are suppose to be 100% compatible. We've never had an issue with this ....
To our surprise, we just have an issue with a ML110 G7 Server. Although, RHEL5 is supported, Oracle Linux 5 can not be installed. It fails to recognize disks on the create partition phase of the installation. I could only install OL6 on this box. Unfortunately, this comes with an issue: no Oracle Database release is actually certified to run on that OS.
This situation creates a problem with out current policy.
So to make things short, i'd like to know whether there is a list of certified servers for Oracle Linux, and why if a server is certified on RHEL5 , Oracle Linux 5 can not be installed...
Thanks in advance ....

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert.html will show you which HP systems are HP supported or tested with RHEL and Oracle Linux.
Note also http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/supportmatrix/rhel/exceptions/rhel-exceptions.html which shows minimum supported Updates required. And http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/options-matrix-all.html regarding support for installed options.
Regarding ML110 G7, the minimum required is RHEL 5.6 and RHEL 6.0. Which version of Oracle Linux have you been trying to install?

Is there a Redhat Linux 86-64 version of Higher Ed Constituent Hub?

Is there a Redhat Linux 86-64 version of Higher Ed Constituent Hub? I am only able to find a Windows 32bit version to download.

Oracle 9.0.1 Linux Intel Enterprise version images corrupt on Downloads

The Oracle 9.0.1 Enterprise DataBase software for Linux Intel downloadable version on the Oracle Technology Network has 2 of the Disk images currently corrupt.
After downloading all the 3 Oracle 9.0.1 Database CD images for Linux Intel from the Oracle Technology network in binary mode, Disk1 and Disk2 images were found to be bad.
Disk 1 and Disk2 images could not be decompressed using gunzip or cpio. The following errors occur on linux
Disk1:
gunzip -df Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz
gunzip: Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz: unexpected end of file
Disk2:
gunzip -df Linux9i_Disk2.cpio.gz
gunzip: Linux9i_Disk2.cpio.gz: unexpected end of file
Cpio extraction is also suspect:
cpio -imdv < Linux9i_Disk2.cpio.gz
cpio: warning: skipped 40 bytes of junk
cpio: premature end of file
If the Oracle 901 Linux Intel Disk1 and Disk2 images
on OTN could be checked, it would help. I have put a
support request on Metalink, posted notes on the Database
general and Installation forums and the Technology Linux forum. But have got no feedback so far. Oracle Support
have recommended putting a note on this on OTN forums
as they have no means of vaildating the images on OTN.
Any feedback on these Oracle 901 Linux images will be appreciated.
Thanks
Mala

Yes. The filesizes of the Oracle 901 Intel images
on OTN match with what I downloaded in binary mode.
I found a reference in one of the DBMS forums on OTN
which suggested using the download tool from Getright.
Using the getright tool and the direct url link path
reference I downloaded the oracle 901 Linux images again
from OTN. This time I was able to run gunzip and
cpio -imdv successfully on all the 3 oracle 901 Linux
images without any issues.

Oracle Linux versioning

Hi Avi, i'm quiet confuse if the release and distributions:
uname -a on my server show me 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek, that mean that it's a Entreprise Linux 5 ?
what the diff betwenn OEL5, OEL6 EL5UEK, EL6UEK, i'm lost.
Oracle Linux kernel appear as UEK ?
I just go to edelivery and found theses download :
1) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 for x86_64 (64 Bit)     V37084-01     3.5G
2) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 Boot iso image for x86_64 (64 bit)     V37088-01     197M
3) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 UEK Boot ISO image for x86_64 (64 bit)     V37090-01     196M
4) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 source DVD 1     V37086-01     3.1G
5) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 source DVD 2     V37087-01     1.9G
If I build a server with the 1) what will be the result of a uname -a ?
What the purpose of the number 2 and 3 ?
So many questions ....

2) Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 Boot iso image for x86_64 (64 bit)     V37088-01     197MThis is a small bootable image that uses the RHCK during install but only contains the installation program, but none of the packages. You need to have the contents of the ISO from (1) available somewhere on your network.

Oracle Linux 6.3 and Oracle VM 3.0.3 : high "os thread startup" waits

Hi all,
we just installed Oracle Linux 6.3 as a PVM guest with Oracle VM 3.0.3.
The vm is acting as a dbserver.
We see high "os thread startup" wait times from statspack report. A 10-hour report shows:
Top 5 Timed Events Avg %Total
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wait Call
Event Waits Time (s) (ms) Time
CPU time 13,819 57.5
db file sequential read 1,839,279 5,791 3 24.1

This seems to be an OS or virtualization issue: if i run some very simple commands like "ls " or "top", sometimes I see them hangig some seconds .
What should I check for ?
Thanks,
Andrea

This will sound silly, but: Make sure you aren't a victim of the "Some Linux machines have high CPU utilization after Leap Second insertion on July 1st". If your server was "doing NTP", this might have happened. You can google this, if you didn't hear of it. A reboot makes it go away.

Is Oracle Linux not compatible with SOA? My understanding is that Oracle Linux 5 is basically Redhat 4:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-53.el5 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Sat Nov 10 18:24:52 EST 2007.

You require a patch 6339508 which provides replacement pre-requisite tests. To use it you need to add two parameters to the runInstaller command as shown below.
./runInstaller PREREQ_CONFIG_LOCATION=<PATCH_LOC>/prereq –paramFile <PATCH_LOC>/oraparam.ini
PATCH_LOC is the location where you unzipped the 6339508 patch. With these new parameters the installer correctly recognizes Oracle Enterprise Linux as a supported platform. Note that OEL needs some specific patches when used with SOA Suite and these need to be installed prior to running the installer. Check the documentation for details.

You will need to keep in mind that Oracle Linux is better suited to enterprise server types of hardware and not for generic laptop/desktop usage. Much of your hardware may just not work. For example, enterprise servers don't have wireless networking, fancy graphics, USB3.0, Bluetooth, touchscreens, and more.
After reading the link that was provided by Srini, I suggest you download and install a copy of VirtualBox and install it. Then you can experiment with your OL5.8 and most any other OS you dream of without mucking up your current functional OS.
