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 6.3 - restarts on shutdown

Hi All,
I installed Oracle Linux 6.3 on a standalone laptop. I updated it fully. Installed Oracle Database11gR2 and everything works perfect The OS reboots on shutdown command. There is no "wake up on LAN" or "Automatic Power Up". Checked BIOS - didn't find anything.
Didn't find any answer in google too.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Regards

Hi Thilina,
Please confirm you have installed all the rpms mentioned as per the notes provided by Hussein. Please verify whether you have installed all the rpms mentioned in the per-requisite setup by command:
rpm -qa | grep <rpm_name>*
In addition, please upgrade your rapidwiz when installing especially on OEL 6 as most of the issues are addressed in the latest rapidwiz and perform a fresh installation.:

Why Oracle Linux 5 cannot recover disk space after delete files ?

Folks,
Hello. When I create a Virtual Machine for Oracle Linux 5 to install EBS R12, I allocate 300GB to the VM. I download EBS R12 Source Files (45.7GB) and unzip the files (46GB). Total size of stage area directory(EBS_R12) is 91.7GB.
Because some files are corrupted and cannot install, I move the folder EBS_R12 into trash but cannot empty trash. I move EBS_R12 from trash back to the directory. Then at root user, use command "rm -rf " to delete EBS_R12 completely.
I shut down Oracle Linux 5 and restart it, 91.7GB disk space cannot recover.
I download some other files into Oracle Linux files and then delete those files, but disk space cannot be recovered either.
It seems that OEL5 virtual disk only can expand but cannot be reduced. The VM disk space is less than 200GB now and not enough to install EBS R12.
Can any folks tell me how to make 91.7GB disk space and some more disk space come up ?

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.
Host OS is Windows 7, Guest OS is Oracle Linux 5 on the top of VMPlayer 3. The VM of Oracle Linux 5 is created on the external USB drive and not on the local hard disk.
There is a directory /tmp/VMwareDnd/376c7cae/EBS_R12 in Oracle Linux 5 file system. I copy/Paste the folder of EBS_R12 from Windows 7 into Oracle Linux 5. All of zip files and unzipped files are placed in the folder of EBS_R12.
After EBS_R12 is deleted, the external USB drive(F:) doesn't come up 91.7GB disk space.
My question is:
Where to run "boot>linux rescue" command ?
Does this command work correctly in the external USB drive ?

Oracle Linux 6.4 installs, runs, and manual shutdown OK ... but restarts itself after 10 minutes or so

Hi Guys
Successfully installed Oracle Linux 6.4 operating system , which subsequently runs as expected.
When Oracle Linux 6.4 is shutdown using standard GUI system/shutdown ,
it does a clean shutdown and power-off as expected ....
UNTIL some 10 minutes or so later , when Oracle Linux 6.4 reboots all by itself from a fully powered-down state.
Likewise when Oracle Linux 6.4 is shutdown using standard command line " shutdown -h now" ,
it does a clean shutdown and power-off as expected ....
UNTIL some 10 minutes or so later , when Oracle Linux 6.4 reboots all by itself from a fully powered-down state.
Clearly it is NOT desirable to have the operating system able restart of it's own accord.
A manual shutdown is typically done for good reason , and the server should remain shutdown.
The previous version, ie Oracle Linux 6.3 did not exhibit this behavior.
When Oracle Linux 6.3 was shutdown, it stayed shutdown
Question
======
Does anyone know how to STOP Oracle Linux 6.4 from restarting itself after a successful shutdown ?
Thanks
Bruce

Assuming your network interface is eth0, execute "$ ethtool eth0", like below, and indicate what you get for the lines "Supports Wake-on" and "Wake-on.
lx04:/root $ ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
        Supported ports: [ TP ]
        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                                100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full

Then check in your BIOS (usually under APM) for any enabled power-on settings associated with PCI or PCIe bus (your NIC will use one or the other).

Oracle listens on a second randomly selected port

Hello everybody,
Could someone, please, help me to understand what's going on with my oracle 9.2 db running on Linux.
In addition to known and well defined TCP/IP port 1521 listener uses my oracle also starts listening on some other randomly chosen by itself TCP/IP port.
Let's say right now it listens on port 32039 while during the previous restart it listened on 5389 and etc.
Each oracle db restart (I use dbstart / dbshut cycle) gives me a unique line after "netstat -tanp | grep -e LISTEN" execution:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:32039 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2793/ora_d000_db891
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1521 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2820/tnslsnr
I can stop listener but that random port will be still there... it makes me nervous.
I asked this question at Oracle-Linux forum and one of the linux experts kindly suggested me to rise this issue over here as well after reporting that he has the same strange listening "creature" within his own oracle db box.
Thank you very much for your help
jeff

That is the way Oracle operates.
For dedicated server operations, the initial connection request is done to the listener. The listener 'spawns' a server process for the connection request. That server process finds a new port and the connection request is turned into a full connection on that new port. The listener is then no longer involved with the connection.
The d000_ is the shared server's dispatcher. It gets a port when the database decides a dispatcher is required, and connection requests are then transferred to an available dispatcher. There can be many dispatchers.
In some cases (such as the XML-related service, used since Oracle8i and prevelant in XE) the dispatcher is pinned to a specific port to support a specific service.

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 /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.

Dear All,
We got "localhost kernel: BUG: Bad page state in process swapper pfn:5e13c2e" when booting Oracle Linux 5.9.
The system is installed with -
1. CPU: 2 x Xeon E5-2690
2. Mem: 384 GB
3. QLE 2562 FC
4. Oracle Linux 5.9 (64-bit) (2.6.39-300.26.1.el5uek)
5. mutlipath enabled
6. kernel created with (mkinitrd -v -f --with=sd-mod with=dm-multipath /boot/initrd-2.6.39-300.06.1.el5uek.img $(uname -r))
Below is part of the log file.
Did you have the idea what cause the issue?

It could be a hardware issue. I suggest to run Memtest. You can download a free stand-alone disk image, which you can burn to CD from here:
http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm
Then burn the iso disk image and restart the computer from the appropriate media. Be sure to follow the instructions of your CD/DVD software to properly burn .ISO images. There is plenty of info on the web.

Compiling VMtools on Oracle Linux 6.2 gives errors

I am trying to compile the vmtools on a Oracle Linux 6.2 VMware installation. I'm getting strange compilation errors on all the vmtools. Log pasted below.
I have found thread VMware Tools and Oracle Linux Howto and followed the items in there with no help and no change.
yum -y install kernel-headers is all up to date
yum -y install kernel-devel is all up to date
Here are the issues I see:
1. Compiling the shared folder says linux/smp_lock.h does not exist, and then fails with SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED undeclared and unknow field `get_sb'
2. The network device driver fails in vmxnet.c
3. The vmblock module fails in dentry.c
4. The communication service fails in vmci_drv.c
5. The VM communication interface fails in vmci_drv.c
6. The X configuration is skipped because there are "no drivers for X.ora version: 7.9.6" (see the bottom of the log below).

The configuration of VMware Tools 8.3.2 build-257589 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.

Actually, I did exactly that:
yum -y install gcc
yum -y install kernel-uek-devel-`uname -r`
yum -y install kernel-uek-headers-`uname -r`
The headers with the uname gave an error that the headers do not exist. The others ran fine.
I did:
yum -y install kernel-uek-headers
and that worked.
However, NONE of this changed the errors - they were exactly the same before and after. The problem is still not resolved.
However, I did try a different approach. I found the VMware Operating System Packages (OSPs) through the following link: http://www.vmware.com/download/packages.html. I installed that, and it seemed to work fine.
The problem that we had, which was the original reason why I wanted to have the VMware tools, was that the disk was sized too small and I thought with the tools we could resize the disk. It didn't work, we could not edit the size in the VMware console. So we ended up blowing away that VM and are in the process of recreating it at a larger size. I'll take a snapshot of the state before the OSP install so I can test the compile version in case someone posts something useful here.

I've understood that the OracleASM kernel driver is no longer needed in OL6 because it's included in the kernel.
So what's the problem?
Thanks for helping

ASMlib is not mandatory, but makes managing ASM devices easier to manage and provides a more efficient I/O path. Some of it is negotiable, however, I think your negative experience with the product in the past is NO good reason to advice how obsolete or useless ASMlib was. Because, sorry, it isn't. Please do the research.
The reason why oracle ASMlib is included and supported only by the Oracle UEK kernel is not to force people to use Oracle Linux, but due to Red Hat. Oracle was obviously forced to support Oracle kernel modules only for their own kernel, for very good reasons. Red Hat officially said "Yes, we undercut Oracle with hidden Linux patches".

Edited by: Dude on Jan 23, 2013 5:53 PMSo for those of us that do not use UEK, whether or not to use ASMLib is really not an option. If it is not supported, I would hate to "force" install it and have something go wrong on my production servers. So, whether or not I do the "research", the fact it will not be supported on RHEL6 only enforces my opinion does it not?

Help with setting up LDAP Client on Oracle Linux 6.4

Hi,
I'm having problems getting my Oracle Linux server setup as a ldap client and hoping someone can find where I'm going wrong. We have Oracle/Sun Directory Server 7 with Solaris ldap clients already setup with ssl. We are also using crypt for storing passwords. Here are the steps I have done on the Linux server.
yum install -y openldap openldap-clients nss-pam-ldapd pam_ldap
Edited the line FORCELEGACY=no to yes in /etc/sysconfig/authconfig
Copied the CA certs to /etc/openldap/cacerts
Ran: authconfig updateall enableldap enableldapauth ldapserver=zldap1.<domain> ldapbasedn="o=<domain>,o=isp" enableldaptls --enableldapstarttls
Changed pam_password md5 to crypt in /etc/pam_ldap.conf
Restarted /etc/init.d/nslcd and also tried rebooting.
I'm seeing the following errors in messages:
May 21 08:50:01 ryolinux nslcd[1261]: [c79ea8] ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Connect error (uri="ldap://zldap1.<domain>/")
May 21 08:50:01 ryolinux nslcd[1261]: [c79ea8] failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://zldap1.<domain>/: Connect error
May 21 08:50:01 ryolinux nslcd[1261]: [c79ea8] no available LDAP server found
Here is what my /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file looks like:
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/cacerts
TLS_REQCERT allow
URI ldap://zldap1.<domain>/
BASE o=<domain>,o=isp
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Copy cacerts to /etc/openldap/cacerts
yum install -y openldap ldap-clients nss-pam-ldapd pam_ldap authconfig sssd
authconfig enablesssd enablesssdauth enablelocauthorize update
authconfig updateall enableldap enableldapauth ldapserver=zldap1.<domain> ldapbasedn="o=<domain>,o=isp" enableldaptls --enableldapstarttls
Add line to /etc/sssd/sssd.conf "ldap_tls_reqcert = allow"
Change /etc/pam_ldap.conf line:
pam_password md5 --> pam_password crypt

DynamicConvertor PDF- HTML - Oracle Linux R5U2 - Looks like a fax

I am performing installations in a VMWare virtual machine, to get a smooth process down before installing in development and then production.
Installed Content Server on Oracle Linux R5U2. Performed following steps:
I checked libraries using
rpm -qa | grep -i compat-libstdc++
I also installed libXp from the CD using rpm. I then used yum to install openmotif and openmotif22 (not sure if I really needed to?) Too get yum to work, I copied all of the rpms from the install disks to /opt/rpms, then used createrepo and added a local.repo entry to create a local repository for installation.
I then installed mstcorefonts from source:

* /u01/app/ucm/server/custom/DynamicConverter/samples/gui_layouts/default_layout.txt
* /u01/app/ucm/server/custom/DynamicConverter/samples/script_templates/basic.hcst
I changed the font path to include the mstcorefonts and liberation. I left the path to the java directory in the ucm directory.
In the configuration screen, I added all of the file types available, then by hand, typed in application/pdf to the end of the list.
After uploading two PDF files, I performed a simple search, then performed the HTML view.

Is there a way to make the html conversion look better?
Is there anything else I missed?
Do I really have to select the filetypes, and add my own for files that can get converted?

How to Install Oracle ASM 11gR2 In Oracle Linux 6.5

Hi
I want to install oracle ASM in oracle linux 6.5 .
Can any one helps me to find a paper with above subject?
Thanks

Theses steps only if You want to use ISCSI. This is fine to get the howto:
If You ar running in VM Ware Boxes:
Add the following to the *.vmx file for the virtual machine:
disk.EnableUUID = "TRUE"
Restart the vm machine and the /dev/disk/by-id/scsi**** should be visible.
That's a nasty one - without this ISCSI just doesn't work
chkconfig iscsi on
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.146.100
iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:iscsi-asm-target -p 192.168.146.100 -l
192.168.146.100 <=== IP Number of ISCSI Host
iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:iscsi-asm-target <== Name of ISCSI Server, you get this as output from discovery command
Now, you must make sure that the devices belong to oracle.
Take a look at this link:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/udev-scsi-rules-configuration-in-oracle-linux-5-and-6.php#make_scsi_devices_trusted
Add the following to the "/etc/scsi_id.config" file to configure SCSI devices as trusted. Create the file if it doesn't already exist.
options=-g
/sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s /block/sdc <== for all ISCSI devives
vi /etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle-asmdevices.rules

RESULT=="360003fff419213c1b088599c1a9a0a7f" <=== That is returned by /sbin/scsi_id -g -u -s
Reload:
/sbin/udevcontrol reload_rules
/sbin/start_udev
Now you have your devices read, belonging to oracle:
ls -al /dev/asm*
Next go to oracle download click on list all and get:
Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86-64
After extracting this you are ready to go.
When starting the install process you get an option to "change path", here select /dev.
In my test systems I use to set "external" for dataprotection.

Everyones Oracle Linux Problem solved!!!

Everyones Oracle Linux Problem solved!!!
Here's something Linux people should relate to: Use what works!
what works?
NT works! NT works great with 8i AND OAS.
No hassles at all!
Up and running within one day!!!!
Guaranteed!
U don't see a NT forum here with people having ridiculous install problems like Linux people?
Perhaps Oracle should moderate this newsgroup and even give an authorative answer or two?
null

I have switched our development and soon production databases to Linux because it runs like a charm. Fast and efficient, no problems. The installer has been a problem no doubt because Oracle put less of an emphasis on debugging their Linux installer than their idiot-proof NT installer.
By the way, I was able to circumvent installer problems by just linking svrmgrl to svrmgrlO; this avoided the dreaded segmentation fault and kicked everything open just fine.
BTW, about NT; what makes an OS is not how well everything works when everything is going well, but how bad it gets when something goes bad. For instance, the segmentation faults on Linux weren't a problem because I just picked up and continued; on NT you'd have to restart the whole system...not a pleasant feature.

G505s keeps restarting randomly

Before it does it again.... I've updated BIOS, bought an under-cooling fan platform, checked the cpu apu temps, uninstalled unused software, run ESET NOD 32 and found no viruses, raised the back for better ventilation, and IT STILL KEEPS RESTARTING RANDOMLY no matter what I'm trying to run. I'm running Windows 8.1 and every driver is up to date. Nothing exotic is plugged in. I've tried rebooting without anything plugged in. I've run all of the lenovo diagnostic software -- they all report everything is fine. I uninstalled any software I recently installed in the last month to see if it would stop the problem -- no luck. I have to end this quick before it restarts again. PLEASE HELP! --mikkimbru

Ok... Down to some basic troubleshsooting questions - bear with me on this...
1. Did you attempt to reset the notebook BIOS by removing the battery and AC power then pressing the power button for thirty seconds?
2. Did you try removing memory modules one at a time to see if one is going bad?
3. Did you attempt to remove the hard drive, boot from Linux Live CD or USB?
4. Have you been running on AC power without battery installed - suffered same failure?
I have seen this type of behavior with bad memory sticks, or a hard disk that is failing (drive circutry vs. HDD secotors). lastly - if the BIOS was corrupted would also be an issue requireing attention.
What I would do - remove battery and AC adapter, press and hold power button for 30 seconds. Insert battery, attach AC power and boot. If this regains working sytem, download and run Process Explorer to figure out what the running SVCHOST instances are connected to.
If BIOS reset fails to work, turn off computer remove battery and AC power. Access memory location (bottom access plate) and remove all memory sticks. If you have two installed this is a good way to test for issues. Boot computer without memory - if it beeps, or shows error message stating no memory installed we are in good shape. Insert one stick of memory into the first available slot and see if it is stable. If you have two memory sticks repeat this process with stick two - replacing stick one. If computer boots and is stable with both sticks in slot one, repeat using slot two. If one or more sticks does not work in slot two - then is an issue with the system board, and if under warranty have service center replace system board.
Once memory has been excluded from situation, try removing the hard drive and using a USB dock or adapter to test it on another computer. If it reads without errors, passes all tests (from manufacture) then try booting your notebook from CD/DVD using Linux "live" distro disk. If works, then may be issue with hard drive controller timing out or HDD integrated electronics failing with overheat condition or "soft solder" that expands when warm.
If all these steps fail to produce a stable system - there maybe issues with the sytem board that fail under heat stress. This might be from "silver threading" or a small crack in the board or in the system attached boards.
Either way - I hope that I have given you some things to look for.
Good luck.

GUIDE: Oracle VM VirtualBox and Oracle Linux NIC bonding

Author: Dude
Date: 01-Jun-2013
Version: B
Last updates:
23-Jul-2013, changes required due to forum upgrade
The following is provided in the hope that it might be useful. If you wish to use it for the purpose of reference, presentation or education, please include the link or information to this forum posting. Thank you!
What is Linux network interface bonding? Simply put, the Linux system provides a kernel driver, which can create a logical network device (bond) using 2 or more Network Interface Controllers (NIC) to accomplish link-aggregation and adapter fault-tolerance. For more information, please see the Deployment Guide at https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/
The channel bonding interface supports several modes of operation. In a typical active-backup set up for fault-tolerance, the system performs MII-based health monitoring of the network interface slaves (eth0, eth1) and assigns them according to bond options and interface availability. In active-backup mode (mode 1), only the current active network device is seen externally.
Linux bonding for fault-tolerance under Oracle VM VirtualBox does not seem to function as advertised. Searching the Internet for more information shows that other people have tried to set up Linux bonding using various virtualization products, virtual host network adapter and bonding options, but without success.
It appears the management of Media Access Control addresses (MAC) interferes with internal routing methods between the host and the virtual machine guest. Using the modinfo bonding command (fig. 1) shows a listing of available parameters for the bonding kernel module. The fail_over_mac parameter addresses the Mac address issue in VirtualBox.
Fig.1
# modinfo bonding
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.39-400.17.1.el6uek.x86_64
                /kernel/drivers/net/bonding/bonding.ko
parm:           fail_over_mac:For active-backup,
                do not set all slaves to the same MAC;
                0 for none (default), 1 for active, 2 for follow (charp)
Configuration Example
Virtualization Product: Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.2.10
VM Guest OS: Oracle Linux 6.4 (x64)
VM adapter settings: Bridged Adapter, Paravirtualized Network (virtio-net)
Adapter1 (eth0): 080027436617, en0, Ethernet 1
Adapter2 (eth1): 08002708F36A, en0, Ethernet 1
Note: If you wish to reset the network adapter names and MAC addresses used by the Oracle Linux guest system, erase the content of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and restart the virtual machine.
1. Create or modify the following configuration files:
/etc/modprobe.d/bonding-eth0_eth1.conf
alias bond0 bonding
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=10.0.2.12
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
GATEWAY=10.0.0.138
DNS1=10.0.0.138
DNS2=8.8.8.8
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no
BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100 fail_over_mac=1"
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
USERCTL=no
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
USERCTL=no
2. Restart the system or network services (root):
Fig. 2
# service network restart
Configuration Test
Enter the following commands as user root to verify proper operation of NIC bonding:
Fig. 3
# tail /var/log/messages
bond0: setting mode to active-backup (1).
bond0: Setting MII monitoring interval to 100.
bond0: Setting fail_over_mac to active (1).
bond0: Adding slave eth0.
bond0: making interface eth0 the new active one.
bond0: first active interface up!
bond0: enslaving eth0 as an active interface with an up link.
bond0: Adding slave eth1.
bond0: enslaving eth1 as a backup interface with an up link.

          UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
During the above test, the client network connection from host 10.0.0.1 (ssh) was maintained without any noticeable interruption. As it can be seen from the syslog and ifconfig command output, the bond0 interface was automatically assigned either the MAC address of eth0 or eth1 and the fail-over worked as advertised.
Good luck!
