Oracle linux 6.3: (yum update) [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 18

Hi all,
I installed yesterday Oracle Linux 6.3 in the first time and when I tried to do yum update I got the following error:
[root@ole6 ~]# yum update

Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from ol6_latest: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Avi,
Thanks for your reply. as I said this is my first time installing Linux so not all the terms are clear to me.
I installed OL6.3 through Oracle VirtualBox 4.1.18.
anyway, I did what you recomanded and it's still not working:
[root@ole6 ~]# yum clean all

Oracle Linux NTFS how-to

h1. Oracle Linux NTFS how-to
Author: Dude
Version: B, 22-Jan-2012
h2. Purpose
This document contains instructions how to install NTFS support under Oracle Enterprise Linux version 4, 5 and Oracle Linux version 5 and 6.
h2. Topics
1) Determine Kernel Architecture and Distribution
2) Setup Software Repositories
3) Install the NTFS Kernel Driver and Software
4) Find and Mount a NTFS Device
5) Notes
h3. 1) Determine Kernel Architecture and Distribution
Open a Terminal command prompt and enter the following to check if your system is x86 or x86_64:
# uname -m
x86_64If you see "i686" or "i386" instead then your system is x86.
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 9)The above example shows you are running Enterprise Linux version 4.9
h3. 2) Setup Software Repositories
You will need to setup access to two software repositories.
Oracle ULN or public yum:
The installation of RPM software packages can be complex due to software conflicts or package dependencies. It is easier to use a software manager like "yum", which will automatically resolve package dependencies and prompt you to download required software if necessary.
For those who do not have a support subscription and access to Oracle ULN, Oracle provides a public YUM software repository to give you free online access to the standard software distributions. Simply follow the instructions outlined at http://public-yum.oracle.com. You only need to enable the software repository that matches your version according to the previous step.
Reproforge:
The NTFS driver is provided by the Repoforge alias RPMforge software repository. For more information about Repoforge, please see http://repoforge.org/faq. NTFS-3G is a stable, full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for Linux and other operating systems. For more information check http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download, where you can also download the source code should you prefer to compile your own NTFS driver.
Depending on your current distribution and kernel architecture, you need to install the following:
Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x x86:
# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x x86_64:
# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm
Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.x x86:
# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm
Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.x x86_64:
# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
Oracle Linux 6.x x86:
# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
# rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
Oracle Linux 6.x x86_64:
# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpmh3. 3) Install the NTFS Kernel Driver and Related Software
The software packages required to support NTFS depends on your current Linux distribution:
Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x:
# yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.0 - 5.2:
# yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.3:
NTFS support under Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 is broken and you should consider to upgrade to the 5.4 or later. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481495)
Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.4 - 5.x:
As of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 the the kernel fuse module (dkms, dkms-fuse) is included in the kernel and should not be installed.
# yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 6.x:
# yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g h3. 4) Find and Mount a NTFS Device
You can use the "blkid" command to identify attached devices. For instance:
sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: LABEL="/boot" UUID="73efxxxxxxxxxxxxx_TYPE="ext3" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/dm-0: UUID="22a2d704-f75dxxxxxxx595df" SEC_TYPE="ext3" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/dm-1: TYPE="swap" UUID="3b74fxxxxxx411c-8671-2244b8735866"
/dev/sdb1: TYPE="ntfs"
{code}
In the above example, device "/dev/sdb1" contains a NTFS partition.
To mount the NTFS volume according to above example under the /mnt directory:
{code}
sudo mount.ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt
{code}

I'm afraid there is no general answer. It depends how your device is connected, i.e. internal, usb, etc.?

Local repository on Oracle VM Manager, then yum check-update itself

Hi.
I have one Oracle VM Manager server as Oracle Linux 6.2 x86_64 that ULN registerd.
To update my Oracle VM Servers I set up local yum repository on my Oracle VM Manager, and it works OK with my Oracle VM Server Upgrade.
(Here is nice documents: http://itnewscast.com/oracle-vm-patch-updates )
However when I run "yum check-update" to keep secure OL6 itslef on my Oracle VM Manager, it shows update for el5 (not el6) as below;
ethtool.x86_64 2:2.6.33-0.3.100.1.el5 ovm3_x86_64_latest
kernel-uek.x86_64 2.6.39-200.1.1.el5uek ovm3_x86_64_latest
kernel-uek-firmware.noarch 2.6.39-200.1.1.el5uek ovm3_x86_64_latest
pciutils.x86_64 3.1.7-5.el5 ovm3_x86_64_latest
python-urlgrabber.noarch 3.9.1-9.100.1.el5 ovm3_x86_64_latest
unzip.x86_64 6.0-3.100.1.el5 ovm3_x86_64_latest
I can run as 'yum --disablerepo="ovm3_x86_64_latest" check-update' to ignore above updates, but is there any way more smart?

I installed this patch to see if it would fix the problem I'm having, which is:
After a fresh install of 3.1.1 on two servers and the manager, everything worked fine until I rebooted the servers the first time. Then they came up in the "starting" state, and stay there. The error messages from the discovery process say something like "com.oracle.ovm.mgr.api.exception.IllegalOperationException: If the IP address of this server has changed, please delete the server: toravm2.acbl.net, and re-discover."
The servers have certainly not changed any hardware or IP addresses. They were just installed!
Anyhow, the installation of Build 365 and reboot of the servers fixed ONE of them. But the other one is still stuck in the "starting" state, and is UNUSABLE.
Any idea what the discovery process might be seeing that would cause this?

Upgrade OEL 4.8 to Oracle Linux OL 5.4 on a Live System using Yum

I have a remote server with my oracle 10g databases running on it.
The OS Version is OEL 4 update 8
Need to upgrade it to OEL 5 update 4.
Can I do it through yum.
I need to do it remotely. Please suggest the steps.
Cold backup taken for the database.

Upgrading from one major release version to another is not supported and you cannot use yum to perform the task.
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/ch-upgrade-x86.html
Oracle Linux is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which does not support in-place upgrades between any major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A major version is denoted by a whole number version change. For example, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 are both major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In-place upgrades across major releases do not preserve all system settings, services or custom configurations. Consequently, Red Hat strongly recommends fresh installations when upgrading from one major version to another.

Oracle Linux Patching/Updates Impact on Oracle Database

I have several questions regarding Oracle Linux patching and its impact on Oracle Database.
3 node Cluster
Operating System: Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2
Kernel: 2.6.18-92.1.22.0.1.el5 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Grid Infrastructure: Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2)
Database: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition (11.2.0.2) with RAC option
ASM with ASMLib is being used for Data and FRA.
*1)* Given your at Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2, will applying only Security Patches require any changes to ASMLib, Oracle Grid Infrastructure and/or Oracle Database (software binaries, configuration etc.)?
*2)* Given your at Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2, will applying Bug Fixes and Security Patches to Oracle Linux 5 update 2 require any changes to ASMLib, Oracle Grid Infrastructure and/or Oracle Database (software binaries, configuration etc.)?
*3)* Given your updating from Oracle Linux Release 5 update 2 to Oracle Linux Release 5 update 8, will this require any changes to ASMLib, Oracle Grid Infrastructure and/or Oracle Database (software binaries, configuration etc.)?
I would most whole heartedly appreciate if someone could answer the specific questions asked, inline if possible. Our System Administrator is preparing to perform some patching and as the DBA I'd like to be certain what changes I need to prepare for? I also have a single instance database setup with Oracle Restart. I don't know if this impacts the answers above.
Thanks in advance.

How do you plan to apply Oracle Linux security patches? As far as I'm aware the yum security plug-in does not work with the Oracle public yum repository and there is no really feasible way to automate and determine security related patches only, unless you setup Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control (11g) or Cloud (12c) and have a subscription to Oracle ULN.
If you upgrade your Oracle Linux to the latest available version using the public yum repository, all patches, including errata will be applied. You cannot apply patches and stay on a specific release version unless you have a subscription and appropriate yum repository access.
As far as I'm aware there are no changes required to your Oracle database or ASM setup and configuration when updating the OS, provided the version of the Oracle database is supported for the specific OS version (ASM features like ADVM/ACFS are kernel version depending). Upgrading from one major release to another, such as upgrading Oracle Linux 5 to Oracle Linux 6 is not supported and will require upgrading the Oracle Database to 11.2.0.3. You can check the Oracle database certification matrix to determine which Oracle database release version is required for which OS version http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/relnotes.112/e23558/toc.htm
The relinking of Oracle Database binaries is a common practice when updating the OS. I do not think it is necessary under Linux. Oracle binaries are typically standalone applications, or use Oracle provided libraries, or in some cases use OS shared libraries, which does not require relinking of Oracle binaries. Upgrading the Oracle database software of course requires relinking.

The actual problem seems to be that you are using the wrong Linux distribution for you Laptop. Enterprise Linux was not designed for consumer grade hardware. To further troubleshoot the problem you will need to check for relevant output of "dmesg", i.e. check if the firmware and driver that was loaded for the device. You should also check "lspci -v" w/o grep to see more detailed information for the device.
Are you trying the latest Oracle Linux 6 update 2?
What is your hardware?
Beware that no Oracle database products are yet certified for EL6 yet, so you should better stick to Oracle Linux 5 update 7 instead.
If the purpose of your installation is research and development I suggest to install Windows as your primary OS and run Oracle Linux inside Virtualbox. Check the following link: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html

Oracle Linux 5.5 updates?

Lately it seems that the Oracle Linux 5.5 channel is very quiet, now that Oracle Linux 5.6 is out and getting updates. My question is whether there will be any updates to 5.5 in the future, or is it kind of frozen, and all new features/fixes will go into 5.6?

My question is whether there will be any updates to 5.5 in the future, or is it kind of frozen, and all new features/fixes will go into 5.6?That's how Enterprise Linux works. Once a new update comes out, the older update versions remain static. This means you can keep your servers on exactly the right version of each package you want. If you subscribe to the "latest" channel (available on ULN), then your system will automatically upgrade from Update to Update, i.e. it would've jumped from EL5U5 to EL5U6 automatically.

Problem installing Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 from Oracle e-Delivery

Hello
I have been trying to install Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 from Oracle e-Delivery so that I can install Oracle 11g express edition beta.
Here are the steps that I took and the problem that I am having:
1. I downloaded the file, unzipped the file twice, which gave me 3,042 files and 13 folders with the total size = 3.07 GB.
2. I put in the DVD and restarted my PC hoping that my PC will boot from the DVD, but instead Window started.
I reported this issue to tech support from e-Delivery, but they referred me to contact you. Please assist.
Julia

3,042 files and 13 folders with the total size = 3.07 GBWhich download .zip did you choose from edelivery? Under linux-x64 I peeked "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 for x86_64 (64 Bit) - DVD" file V15099-01.zip downloaded, it has just the one .iso file. You'll need to burn that to DVD, but with burn s/w that handles ISO files.
Also keep in mind you'll need 64 bit hardware (amd/intel 64? itanium? those are different), the only *nix platform I've got handy to try it out is -x86 :(

Forms and Reports 11gR2 on Oracle Linux 6 Update 3

I am installing:
Oracle Forms and Reports 11gR2 on OL6 and
Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.3.0 Patch 10404530) on OL6
In database instructions, it says to run the oracle-rdms-server preinstall: yum install oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall
Is it OK to run the same pre-install for Oracle Forms and Reports?
Thank you in advance.

Hi.
You can but at least (as far as I can remember) motif package wont be installed as it is needed by Reports. Best to stick with prerequisites for F&R 11gR2 in installation manual.
Best regards.
