OEL 6.1 has not been certified for use yet that I'm aware, you need to check MOS for the latest certified OS.

Oracle Linux 6.2 with RH compatible kernel .versus. Red Hat Linux 6.2 diff?

Hello everyone
* assume that I booted Oracle Linux 6.2 with a Red Hat Compatible Kernel - as opposed to booting the Oracle Linus 6.2 with UEK R1 or UEK R2 kernels *
I am interested in any feature differences between the two OS relating to: functionality, reliability, performance, stability and tools.
The reason I ask is that my employer is trying to figure out if OL 6.2 with a RH compatible kernel is identical to the RHEL 6.2 OS, if we excluded the Oracle UEK and Oracle clustering extra functionality.
This OS will not be used to run Oracle 11g R2 database, this is to be used for any other Linux based non-database applications (such has running Java, JDBC, Apache, C/C++, etc).
many thanks
Yuri

So now I can tell them to use Oracle Linux 6.x with a RH compatible kernel for all those non-DB systems and use OL 6.x with UEK for Oracle 11g database.
And I remember there was (still is?) a third kernel, which does not contain new features or performance enhancements, but only bug fixes for the RH compatible kernel.
I am not sure if you are going to need it, but it can be very useful in some cases. For example, if there is a bug in the RH kernel, and you don't want to run the UEK line as you want to stick to 100% strict RHEL compatibility, then Oracle can put the fix into this 3rd bug-fix only RH compatible kernel series.
(For me, I've set up dual-boot UEK & standard RHEL kernels on my machines and never have never encountered issues or bugs.)

Oracle Linux 6.2 with RAC 11g cluster install fails on root.sh ioctl

I have 2 HP Servers I'm trying to install a cluster to.
I've tried Oracle Linux 6.2 and 6.3 with the same error on both nodes when running the root.sh script.
I have tried the permissions, run-levels, etc that I have found in the forum and nothing has worked except the deconfigure works great. /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -deconfig -force
root.sh Errors:
Adding daemon to inittab
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/grid/crs/install/rootcrs.pl line 443.
I can't see whats wrong, I did use ASM to configure iSCSI disks from a storage device which appeared to work correctly:
# oracleasm listdisks
VOL1
VOL2
VOL3
VOL5
# ls /dev/oracleasm/disks/
VOL1 VOL2 VOL3 VOL5
When I created the disks with ASM I used multipath successfuly:
# oracleasm createdisk VOL1 /dev/mapper/23535333762373932
The other node can see the disks just fine with oracleasm listdisks
I chose 3 disks for the OCR - VOL1-3
There was one forum work around to edit the $GRID_HOME/crs/install/s_crsconfig_lib.pm which I did no Oracle Linux 6.3 to no avail. I also tried using NFS mounted volumes for the OCR drives but got the same error.
Using the install: linux.x64_11gR2_grid

oracleasm (aka asmlib) may not be supported on RHEL(OEL) 6.x. You do NOT need asmlib and it's days are numbered.
upon review of this document, even though it was for 10g, it still appears to be relevant
"10g: Using Openfiler iSCSI with an Oracle RAC database on Linux [ID 371434.1]"
and
udev utility can be used for disk mounting consistency between the nodes. It is the preferred tool. Note:371814.1 explains how to use the udev option.

Have tried yum install for above individual packages- packages not available. Why yum cannot find the above individual packages?

You cannot use OL 6.x since currently only 11.2.0.3 is certified to be installed on this OS - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/relnotes.112/e23558/toc.htm#CHDFHIEA
If you are going to use 11.2.0.1, you will need OL 5.x or another certified OS version - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24321/pre_install.htm#CIHFICFD

Oracle BPEL DB Installation with irca -Failing!!!

Hi all,
I am trying to install Oracle BPEL 10.1.3.1 as a standalone component on Oracle DB 10.2.0. I have set ORACLE_HOME and tested that I can connect to sqlplus using the following option:-
sys/<sys_password>@<service_name> as sysdba
However when I am running the irca option using:
irca orabpel "<ip> <port> <servicename>" <sys_password> -overwrite ORABPEL
I am getting the following exception:-
ERROR: Failed to establish database connection due to the following error:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
System password for DB is : manager
The DB doesn't contain any 'ORABPEL' user.
Please let me know where am I going wrong?This is really urgent.I have a project delivery.
Thanks.

Is this a Windows install. if so can you run the command sqlplus / as sysdba I suspect you will get the same error.
What did you specify your global name when you installed the database?
you can check this by login as sys or system and run the command
show parameter service
what ever this returns use this as the service name.
I think this is more an listener issue. Here is a typical listener and tnsnames
tnsnames
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl.oracle.com)
listener
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\db\10.2.0)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = orcl.oracle.com)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\db\10.2.0)
(SID_NAME = orcl)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =

(DESCRIPTION =

Oracle Linux and Grid control

Hi,
I have been searching metalink certify and can't seem to see that Oracle Unbreakable Linux is certified with Grid Control 10gR2 or 10gR3. It appears that RHEL 3 and 4 are supported. Can anyone shed some light on this please.

Oracle Linux 6.2 restarts randomly

Hi all,
I'm having problems with Oracle Linux server i recently set up.
I'm running Oracle Linux 6.2 with UEK2 (2.6.39-100.7.1.el6uek.x86_64) and all latest updates from public yum server on VMware eSX 4.1i & VMWare tools installed.
I've been noticing that when I'm connected with SSH to my server I randomly get an error that the connection is lost and all connected sessions fail. It all happens so quickly that I can not check via console if the server really rebooted.
But the data from last reboot command is kinda strange - output bellow.
How it's possible that all last three uptimes are being incremented at once?
Is the server really restarting or is there any timeout on ssh sessions or what is the problem here?
What can I check more?

Oracle Linux 6.6 w/ UEK3 boots to EL 2.6 kernel

I have just installed Oracle Linux 6.6 with the UEK3 kernel. Everything is up-to-date and the 3.8.13-68.el6uek.x86_64 kernel is set as the default boot kernel, but the machine always boots to 2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64, which is the specified crash kernel. I don't know why the 3.8 kernel is failing.
How can I debug this?
Thanks,
Kory

Version error installing SOA on Oracle Linux

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.1.0, soa_linux_x86_101310_disk1.cpio) on Oracle Linux 5, but I'm getting the following error:

ase 3, redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4, redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Lin
ux ES release 3, redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 or SuSE-9

Is Oracle Linux not compatible with SOA? My understanding is that Oracle Linux 5 is basically Redhat 4:
cat /proc/version

Thanks,

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.

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/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.

/dev/shm on Oracle Linux 6.x to run Oracle 11g R2 - manual configuration?

Hello
We are building a server to run Oracle 11g R2 database (11.2.0.3 x64) on Oracle Linux 6.2 with UEK R2.
Our preference is to use AMM to have Oracle 11g R2 manage memory. We may impose some minium SGA and PGA memory allocations but basically aim to use MEMORY_TARGET to manage overall memory.
By default Linux makes the size of /dev/shm ~50% of server physical RAM, as far as I can tell.
Here is the /etc/fstab entry created by the installation:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
Given this Linux server will only run Oracle 11g R2 database and some monitoring software, almost application code will run on the server. The application code will run on the separate application server and is Java based.
Can I change the */etc/fstab* entry for /dev/shm to manually increase the size to take up ~80-90% of the server physical RAM ? Is it a good idea?
The server is 64-bit, the RAM = 64 GB, so I am thinking to manually make /dev/shm to be = ~55GB, leaving ~8GB for other purposes.
Right now it's about 32GB (50%?) if I leave the /dev/shm 'defaults' on.
many thanks

thanks,
I have read the doc (what little there is on this topic).
I have asked on the database forum......
just FYI - below is the proof:
SQL> show parameter mem

hi_shared_memory_address     integer     0

sga_max_size          big integer 3G
sga_target               big integer 1600M
still does not work.
And I cant change memory_max_target = 0 because I get error on startup:
SQL> alter system set memory_max_target=0 scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup;
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
ORA-00843: Parameter not taking MEMORY_MAX_TARGET into account
ORA-00849: SGA_TARGET 3221225472 cannot be set to more than MEMORY_MAX_TARGET 0.
BUT if memory_max_target is > 0 then alert log says hugepages can not be used
it feels like catch-22.....

New Oracle Linux 6 installation - ASMLib and EMC Powerpath - is it possible

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask whether that latest version of Oracle Linux 6 can be used for a new installation (one that will replace Windows) to serve as that basis for Oracle RAC.
The storage is a high-end EMC Clariion.
I want to use the Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 2.
I would like to use EMC Powerpath, but it seems this is not yet available (or at list not present in the current EMC support matrix).
I want to use ASMLib, but if have to use redhat compatible kernel (so that I can use Powerpath), I will not be able to use ASMLib (AFAIK).
Does anybody has experience with this problem? What would you recommend?
I'm putting a list of possile options that I am aware of:
1. Use OEL5 with redhat compatible kernel (use Powerpath and ASMLib).
2. Use OEL6 with UEK2 kernel, but don't use Powerpath (use dm-multipath and ASMLib)
3. Use OEL6 with redhat compatible kernel (use Powerpath and don't use ASMLib, but use udev for persistent device permissions and naming)
4. Use SLES11 (with Powerpath and ASMLib)
do you have other suggestions? do you have comments on the pros and cons on this options.
Can someone from EMC or Oracle comment on the plans to make Powerpath available for OL6 with UEK2 ?
Regards,
Mihail

I could test "OEL6 with RHEL kernel + Powerpath" vs "OEL6 with UEK2 kernel + dm-mpio", but anyway this would not give the answer whether Powerpath is faster or slower than dm-mpio by itself, since the kernels would be different.I wonder how the answer whether EMC Powerpath or DM Multipath is faster can help you? Apparently you cannot use Powerpath with the UEK2 kernel and have a certified system at the same time, at least not at this time. However there is no reason to throw the towel yet. If the use of Powerpath instead of Multipath is so critical, why not using Oracle Linux 5.7, which is certified? If you check the EMC compatibility matrix (esm_by_os), it actually shows some systems including Clariion supported for Oracle Linux 6.2 with UEK kernel. You might want to take a closer look.
Anyway, it doesn't look like you will be able to solve the performance question without doing a real world test in your environment. You have no indication that Oracle Linux 6.3 with DM Mutlipath will give you less performance than RHEL 6.3 with Powerpath. Regarding the information you found, Linux is not Windows.
Powerpath is not free and you have to pay a license, but worse, it will tie your system to a very specific version of the kernel. In case of RHEL 6 or later, it will deny you the use of Oracle specific products and features such as ASMLib, etc. Multipath seems to be the more economic and better solution since you do not have to worry about kernel versions and have the freedom to use whatever Oracle Linux has to offer.
So, do you want to limit your kernel features and options and fix a problem that you don't know even know if it applies and pay money for it?

Oracle Linux 6.2 64bit install problem

Hi all,
I had a installation problem of 64bit Oracle Linux 6.2 with HP proliant dl380 g7 (build-in P410i array controller),
when i try to install the OS, it will keep in black screen after loading the vmlinuz.
I had try the 5.8 32bit version it can pass the vmlinuz.
So, I guess it may be related to driver.
Does any one can help me fix this problem.
thanks,
Kenny

I suggest to try the following:
When the bootloader screen prompts you to press any key to enter the menu... press any key.
Move the cursor to your default Linux kernel, normally Oracle Linux UEK and press the letter 'e'.
Move the cursor down 1 line to the kernel parameter and press the letter 'e' again.
Add the word "nomodset".
If you want to see more details, remove "rhgb quiet"
Press the Enter key when done
Press the letter 'b' to boot the system
If all works, edit /etc/grub.conf and modify the kernel parameter line for a permanent change.

I welcome any test I can perform to prove empirically whether it is the uek kernel or not.It's definitely the UEK, for the reasons stated above. Oracle Linux 5 Update 6 was the first version of Oracle Linux to ship with the UEK as the default kernel, and we hadn't quite gotten all the naming aspects 100% correct yet. So, the 2.6.32-100 kernel is absolutely a UEK.
So, on a freshly installed Oracle Linux 5 Update 6 box:
# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-100.26.2.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jan 18 20:11:49 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxIf I then upgrade yum (required to get the yum changes to support kernel-uek installs) and then upgrade the box to the latest and reboot:
# yum update yum
# yum update
# rebootWe're now running the latest UEK Release 1 kernel (2.6.32-400.26.2.el5uek) and it identifies itself as such:
# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-400.26.2.el5uek #1 SMP Tue Apr 23 19:04:54 PDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxNotice that it now says el5uek in the uname string.
We changed the RPM and kernel identifiers from kernel-uek-2.6.32-100.35.1.el5uek. So, it wasn't in the release of Oracle Linux 5 Update 6, but happened in that update errata cycle. All subsequence releases of the UEK Release 1 (2.6.32) and UEK Release 2 (2.6.39) identify themselves with an el5uek or el6uek marker.
BTW, is there any particular reason you're using a template that has a particularly old version of Oracle Linux 5 instead of using the latest Update 9? You can find Oracle Linux 5 Update 9 templates under the heading "Oracle VM 3 Templates (OVF) for Oracle Linux 5 Media Pack for x86_64 (64 bit)" on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.

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?
