Oracle Linux 6.1 guest fails to boot on VM 3.0.2

Hi,
I've been using the templates to create vm guests successfully, so time to push the boundary again!
I've created a Linux 6.1 PVM guest and, after a little trial and error to get the install boot working, I managed to run through the Linux install process. I then changed the boot in VM Manger to remove the Network boot option and restarted the VM guest and it failed to start. I checked the ovs-agent.log on the server and it has this error message.
failed (1): Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', "elf_xen_note_check: ERROR: Not a Xen-ELF image: No ELF notes or '__xen_guest' section found.")
I'm not sure if its relevant but the grub.conf file looks like this:
title Oracle VM Server-ovs (xen-4.0.0 2.6.32.21-38ovs)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=544M
module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.21-38xen ro root=UUID=32f4fe8e-cc96-43db-9125-4097ec18024d
module /initrd-2.6.32.21-38xen.img
title Oracle VM Server-ovs serial console (xen-4.0.0 2.6.32.21-38ovs)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz console=com1,vga com1=57600,8n1 dom0_mem=544M
module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.21-38xen ro root=UUID=32f4fe8e-cc96-43db-9125-4097ec18024d console=tty0 console=ttyS0,57600n8
module /initrd-2.6.32.21-38xen.img
Has anyone got ideas why it is failing for me ?
Thanks

If it's from your guest, you installed Oracle VM, not Oracle Linux 6.

Oracle Linux VM setting time wrong on boot

I have a newly built Oracle Linux 5.7 vm running on OVM 3.0.3. Every time it boots the clock goes back 6 hours. I have the vm set up to use ntp which is successfully getting time from ntp pool servers. The OVM servers are configured to get their time from OVM manager.
I am in Eastern time which is 5 hours behind UTC so I don't think it is confusion between EST and UTC since the clock is losing 6 hours.
The OVM users guide advises to set "xen.independent_wallclock = 1" in /etc/sysctl.conf, but does not specify if this is done on the OVM servers or the guest vms. I have it set this way in both environments right now, but this behavior remains the same whether the setting is 0 or 1.
The Linux guest has been fully updated from ULN and has the oracle-validated packages installed.
The oracle-validated package updated the kernel boot parameters to include "clocksource=pit nohpet noptimer".
Any ideas?
Thx

I was confused, too, until I set BIOS clocks (RTC) on my 2 servers to UTC time and installed both servers with "Server uses UTC" option enabled and same timezone, during OVM setup.
Also make sure OVM manager has correct RTC, time zone, utc settings BEFORE starting up OVM servers, as this also might get you in trouble.
To ensure bios clock (RTC) is set corretly on OVM servers, do - after tweaking /dev/rtc ("ln -s /dev/rtc0 /dev/rtc" in 3.0.3) make sure you have correct system time on server and issue "hwclock --systohc".
When everything is fine (at the end) you should configure/check ntpd is running everywhere - check this link http://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/entry/configuring_ntp_services_for_oracle.
If even after this you will experience trouble with domU times- configure nptd also in all domUs, but remember to first set in every domU independence of dom0 time - "echo 1 > /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock".

New Windows server 2003 Hyper-V guest fails to boot

Hello,
I'm currently doing some virtualization experiments on my new server hardware. The host hardware is:
IBM x3650 M4
x2 Xeon E5-2609
32GB RAM
x2 480 GB SSDs
Server OS: Windows server 2012
I'd like to test some legacy app virtualization. I've configured a VM and have installed Windows server 2003. The install is done via DVD. The issue at hand is that after the initial installation, the server fails to boot. The VM goes into a reboot loop
and so far the only error logging I'm able to find is in the hosts event log.

If its relevant, the host is not yet activated license wise. I downloaded the demo version so I could test my idea before making a purchase to go ahead with full implementation.
As it stands right now I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. Many searches on google have not turned up any helpful info. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi ,
First , please refer to the supported guest OS of windows 2012 hyper-v :
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831531.aspx
2003/R2 should be with sp2 and max 2 virtual processors .
"'LegacyTS' was reset because an unrecoverable error occurred on a virtual processor that caused a triple fault."
If the issue is not due to the above items , you can try to check the "CPU compatibility " in that VM settings for troubleshooting:
Hope it helps

Install Oracle eBusiness 12 on Oracle Linux 5.7

Hi All,
My name is John and I have some questions in relation to the installation of Oracle eBusiness 12 on Oracle Linusx 5.7 64bit. Here is what I've done so far:
- I installed Window 7 on my Macbook Pro Retina Display using Boot camp.
- I installed VMware Player 5.00 on the Window 7 host.
- I installed Oracle Linux 5.7 64bit Guest in the VMware Player 5.00
- I performed 'yum update' on the Oracle Linux 5.7 Guest
- When I ran 'uname -r' it returned '2.6.32-300.39.1.el5uek'
- I updated the latest Rapid Install patch as described in Oracle Applications Release Notes, Release 12.1.1 (My Oracle Support Document 798258.1) and now the RapidWizVersion returned is 12.1.1.13.
My question is in Moc 761566.1, it stated that the following packages must be installed from the Oracle Linux 5 or RHEL 5 distribution media on both application and database tiers:
•gcc-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•glibc-2.5-18.i686 (32-bit)

•glibc-common-2.5-18.x86_64
•glibc-devel-2.5-18.i386 (32-bit)
•glibc-devel-2.5-18.x86_64
•libgcc-4.1.2-14.el5.i386
•libgcc-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-14.el5.i386
•libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•libstdc++-4.1.2-14.el5.i386

•libaio-0.3.106-3.2.i386
•libaio-0.3.106-3.2.x86_64
•libgomp-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64
•make-3.81-1.1.x86_64
•gdbm-1.8.0-26.2.1.i386
•gdbm-1.8.0-26.2.1.x86_64
•sysstat-7.0.0-3.el5.x86_64
•util-linux-2.13-0.45.el5.x86_64
•compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138.i386
•compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386
Since I'm not a Linux guru so I just ran a 'rpm -qa > all_rpm.txt' and open that output file and find whether I have all of those above installed rpms before installing Oracle eBusiness Suite.
First, I discovered that I do not have any 'gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64' rpm installed on my Linux 5.7 64 bit guest system. Could you please advise how do I install this particular rpm because I thought after running the 'yum update' command, it would already have installed this rpm (gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5.x86_64) for me.
Also, is there any 'pre-test' that I can carry out to ensure that the Oracle eBusiness installation would be successful. Because in the past, I have attempted to install Oracle eBusiness twice but on both occasions, they have failed miserably with the Linux just hung and I have to perform the whole process again. Thank you for your assistance as I really want to have it installed on my Mac Book Pro successfully.
Regards,
John

How to compile Oracle Linux source?

I accidentally downloaded source DVD "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 source - DVD" instead of installable ISO image. Is there anyway I can compile it to make bootable ISO image?
I tried to search this forum as well as other places but couldn't find any information hence thought of opening a thread before I proceed to download correct file which will again take 10+ hrs with my Internet speed :(
Any help is highly appreciated. Also I need to know which packages are required to be installed for compiling the source if at all that is possible. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop.
Thanks in advance for any help and hope to get a reply soon :) I need to urgently install Oracle 11gR2 on it.
Edited by: user6582219 on Apr 12, 2012 1:10 AM
While browsing the forum for any possible solution I came to a thread that discuss installation of a package oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall. When searched through search engine I came to know about recent certification Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux 6, here is the link https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/announcing_oracle_database_11g_r2
https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/announcing_oracle_database_11g_r2
Thing is I already have Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 (the latest) installed on my machine in dual boot mode so I dropped the idea of installing version 5.2. As per the documentation 11gR2 was not certified earlier on Linux 6.2 so I thought of installing 5.2 but it is not necessary now.
I would still appreciate if someone could answer my question just for knowing the procedure compiling source. May be it can help someone else trying to achieve this.
I have another couple of important questions and need guidance from the experts over here. I am not sure if it is appropriate to open a new thread but for now I am posting them here.
Before proceeding here are my environment details:
Machine: x86 32 bit with 2 GB RAM/250 GB HD.
OS: Kubuntu 11.10 Desktop and Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 in dual boot mode.
Here are my partition details for your reference but as I am planning to do the installation from the scratch following new ideal scheme you can jump to last paragraph following the line "*********************************" for my questions.
Unfortunately my partition plan went wrong and here is what I have now:
Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders, total 488397168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x3d5ba9e1
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2048 1002047 500000 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 151525080 361253654 104864287+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda4 1003518 151001087 74998785 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 1003520 7002111 2999296 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 7004160 11001855 1998848 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 11003904 51001343 19998720 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 51003392 110041087 29518848 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
/dev/sda1 here is /tmp, /dev/sda2 is my data partition, I have separate /home / (root) partition for Kubuntu and remianing around 20 GB in extended partition is used for Oracle Linux 6.2 with default Oracle suggested LVM partition. I also have separate /boot for Kubuntu and I chose not to install grub while installing Oracle Linux. I later modified grub.cfg to add entries for Oracle Linux and now I can boot both OSs successfully.
My issue now is I cannot extend 20 GB space (in extended partition) that I have given to Oracle though I have around 40 GB space available. This is because I alreay have 4 primary partitions (one for /boot others for "data" and one extended partition). So I have to make primary partition out of free space and install Oracle in a single partition without following recommended partition layout scheme.
Now I want to do the installation of both the OS from the scratch and really need an advice on partition layout scheme. Here is summary of what I wan to achieve:
1. Keep the "data" partition (primary) intact and carve an ideal partition layout for both the OS with separate /boot, /tmp, /home, swap (and may be for /usr???). Also may be I can share swap?
2. How do I go about using LVM and is it recommended for this case? What would be ideal locations for each partitions and sizes? I already used 100 GB for "data" so now I want to keep 60 GB for Oracle Linux (and Oracle DB for which I will again make few sub-partitions) and remaining will be for Kubuntu.
Well, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask these questions but since I can see very knowlegeable top contributors here that are willing to help novice users I thought of posting these questions.
I would really really appreciate if someone can provide me rough draft of partition scheme in my case considering the sub-partitions needed for Oracle DB. I went thorugh number of forums and documentations to come up with solutuion and finally thought of getting help after much confusion.
I really need to carefully plan this time because it's third time I am doing reinstallation from the scratch because of poor plan I followed previously.
Thank you very much in advance and please let me know in case more information is needed from my side.
Regards,
Ramesh

I accidentally downloaded source DVD "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 source - DVD" instead of installable ISO image. Is there anyway I can compile it to make bootable ISO image?Google will be your best friend for such a question, for instance, "Creating a Custom centos Linux bootable ISO Image". There is no need to duplicate the effort. I recommend you download the correct installation DVD, e.g. 5.8
Thing is I already have Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 (the latest) installed on my machine in dual boot mode so I dropped the idea of installing version 5.2. As per the documentation 11gR2 was not certified earlier on Linux 6.2 so I thought of installing 5.2 but it is not necessary now.So you don't need to install 5.2 anymore, but you want the information how to compile a installation DVD from the 5.2 source anyway?!
I have another couple of important questions and need guidance from the experts over here. I am not sure if it is appropriate to open a new thread but for now I am posting them here.Questions may be important for you, but not necessarily for others. No one will complain if you create a new thread for particular questions or subjects. It is better to separate your topics and questions rather than creating a multi-mega thread, which does little to help anyone else but you. It means more work on your end, but it will be easier for anyone to participate or answer your questions, and it will allow you to better award answers.
Regarding your partitioning questions: It is generally difficult to address such topics in a forum. You are asking for a book of information. My advice is to drop the old fashioned concepts of dual or triple boot options and install Oracle VirtualBox instead. It will make all of these questions obsolete and you can use whatever defaults when installing your virtual machine guest OS. Its a far more superior way of dealing with multiple operating systems on one and the same computer.
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop.
I need to urgently install Oracle 11gR2 on it.For what it's worth, if you can combine the two source below you should be able to install and run 11gR2 on Ubuntu 11.10.

Oracle Linux versioning

Hi Avi, i'm quiet confuse if the release and distributions:

what the diff betwenn OEL5, OEL6 EL5UEK, EL6UEK, i'm lost.There is no OEL, just OL. :) Oracle Linux 5 (OL5) and Oracle Linux 6 (OL6) are completely different major versions of Oracle Linux. Each of those has two kernels, the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) or the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK).
Oracle Linux kernel appear as UEK ?Yes.

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.

Oracle Linux 6.0 64 bit instalation problem

Hi,
I downloaded Oracle Linux 6.0 64 bit from Oracle site. I unpacked it and burned it on dvd, but it can't boot so I can't install it. I could't do it even with virtual machine. I also put disk detection latency to 15 sec so I could give Linux enough time to boot, but it did't help. So any sugestion? :) I have core i7 2600 and Gigabyte UD4 P67 B3, bit I don't think it is a problem.
Thx

This directory contains image files used during the Oracle Linux 6
installation process.
The boot.iso file that is sometimes found in the images directory has
been removed for space reasons. It is available as a separate download
from ULN. boot.iso is an ISO 9660 image of a bootable CD-ROM. It is useful
in cases where the CD-ROM installation method is not desired, but the
CD-ROM's boot speed would be an advantage.
To use this image file, burn the file onto CD-R (or CD-RW) media as you
normally would.
From Images folder, installation DVD.
Can anyone tell me what to do

Re: Oracle Linux versioning

Dear replier
can you please also give details for option 4 & 5
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

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
I see DVD1 & DVD2 thought this will be having the complete installation but after i download and write these ISO files to DVD's
DVD is not bootable.
which one to use for download and install.

Oracle Linux is licensed under GPL and requires that the source code is freely available. The source DVD's contain the source code packages and not the OS installation media. All you need to start up and install Oracle Linux on your computer from DVD in your example is number 1.

Oracle Linux Partitioning problem. Please help

Hi,
I have installed ORACLE LINUX 6.3 guest on VirtualBox. I chose 100gb for disk space.
But when actually guest OS is created and checked with fdisk -l
I can see hda1/hda2 etc and space is divided into 50gb/50gb. what is this and why is this happening.
Now i want to install oracle ebs on it and when i create a folder like /u01/oracle folders. Its running out of memory as it needs 60 gb minimum memory.
then i reinstalled the software with 150gb space. again its divided it into 50gb/10gb/90gb hda1/hda2/hda3.
how to access these hda3 and how can i install ebs on hda3.
Sorry if i am asking foolish questions as i am very new to this linux os. I am really confused whatz happening. Please help
Cheers
Suresh

The OS installer has options to accept defaults or use custom partitioning. The automatic setup will simply divide the available space, assuming you want to use the whole disk for the OS. If you created a custom extra partition you will need to create a filesystem on it, then mount it and create an entry in /etc/fstab to mount it automatically. The OS has no idea what you want to do with the extra partition. What I would rather recommend is to use the standard for the OS, e.g. 12 GB dynamic HD and create one or more additional disks in the virtual machine setup. Then partition and format these extra disks to store your Oracle installation. There is no technical reason to create additional partitions and limit the setup to one hard disk.

Can`t Reboot after Oracle Linux Rel.6 Installed

Previously the Desktop PC had WINDOWS 7 and Debian Linux installed with GRUB controlling the dual boot between Debian and Windows 7. It worked fine.. no problems. Decided to go with Oracle Linux as I will be installing some Oracle products on this PC.
Installed Oracle Linux over Debian. The Oracle Linux install completed successfully and requested a reboot. On reboot the process stops on the GRUB step showing...
GRUB Loading.
Welecome to GRUB!
error: file not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub_rescue
Seems to be missing a file on the Linux side to initiate the dual boot sequence.
1. Does Oracle Linux have GRUB available for dual boots.
2. If not, then is there some tool available to control dual boots with Oracle Linux and Windows 7.

Reran the entire Oracle Linux install and ensured the boot loader was put in the Master Boot Record. I selected 'Change Device' to confirm the Master Boot Record option was highlighted.
Here are my partitions on disk 'sdb' :
Disk
Device Size (MB) Mount Point Type
sdb
sdb1 2000 / ext4
sdb2 8000 swap
sdb3 180780 ext3
Rebooted system when the Oracle Iinux install finished - successfully... but once again encountered the following:
GRUB Loading.
Welecome to GRUB!
error: no such device: 121d0490-81aa-4f10-a2fa-17ca257b27f4
Entering rescue mode...
grub_rescue
Followed your instructions to fix the problem, and at the shell prompt # entered these commands :
chroot /dev/sysimage
grup-install /dev/sdb
Message returned:
Installation finished. No errors encountered
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map
# This device map was generated by anaconda
(hd0) /dev/sdb
Rebooted system... same GRUB error message was displayed.
What am I missing? Never had this problem with Debian !

Grid Infrastructure Installation on Oracle Linux 5.8

Hi,
*1)* I am trying to install 11.2.0.1 Grid Infrastructure on Oracle LInux 5.8 but failing. It fails at ASM diskgroup creation stage.
The uname -r output is as below.

How do we find out if a particular kernel version "uname -r" is OK for installation or not ?
I checked many documentation, but they only say Oracle Linux 5 or above OR Oracle Linux 4 or above in many cases.
*2)* Also can 11gR2 RAC be installed on Oracle Linux 6.3 ? The uname -r for Linux 6.3 is as below.
2.6.39-200.24.1.el6uek.x86_64

Failed to install VirtualBox Guest Addition on Oracle Linux 6.1

I can successfully install Oracle Linux 6.1 on VirtualBox 4.1. But failed to install VirtualBox Guest Additions with the following message: Building the main Guest Additions module [FAILED]. All other modules installed ok.

Actually you don't have do install the developer version. According to the documentation http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html you will need to install gcc and kernel-devel packages. In case Oracle Enterprise Linux does not find the required packages, you either have to install them from a different source (e.g. DVD) or use Oracle's public Yum server located at http://public-yum.oracle.com.

Oracle Linux virtual machines failing to boot

We have 2 oracle linux virtual machines on one host machine, both running Oracle Linux release 6 update 2 for X86_64. Both were built identically with oracle 11 installed on them. Both machines were working ok until this morning when the host machine rebooted. After the reboot, the virtual machines now hang during the boot process. The login prompt never comes up. The database does not start up on both machines. The machines are up enough that I could putty into them. In startup.log, the following is listed for the two machines. One is named demo, the other test.

The demo machine is looking for a redo log file. The file does not exist. If that file ever existed, what would make that file disappear? The test machine does not have any redo log files either but the test one is not even looking for it.
What could have gone wrong with these?

FAILED boot msgs during Oracle Linux Server (2.6.32-200.20.1.el6uek.i686)

While booting Oracle Linux Server (2.6.32-200.20.1.el6uek.i686), I'm getting the following FAILED messages.
Calling the system activity data collector (sadc):
Starting cgconfig service: Failed to parse /etc/cgconfig.conf [FAILED]
Starting trace-cmd: [FAILED]
Can you please help me how to fix these errors?

Perhaps your /etc/cgconfig.conf is screwed up or you have I/O issues due to inappropriate drivers or a bad hardware. Pls provide more info about your systems and whether this is a first time installation or worked before. In the later case, you can try to to boot into single user mode and check the file for anything unusual.
