Oracle linux 7 change resolution at install vmware

Hi,
while installing oracle linux 7 on vmware, my window is to small 800x600. In this case I can't see all option when I want to create LVM.
Is it possible to increase the resolution?
I have already tried increasing the memory for video card. Didn't help.
Regards!

Could you try this?
Create a file, /etc/yum.repos.d/vmware-tools.repo, with the following content:
[vmware-tools]
name = VMware Tools
baseurl = http://packages.vmware.com/packages/rhel7/x86_64/
enabled = 1
gpgcheck = 1
Install the package:
$ sudo yum install open-vm-tools
Reboot
I also prefer Virtualbox but I hope this helps.

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

Oracle Linux 5.10 32 bit install, X server won't start.

Hello Everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful day.
I just installed Oracle Linux 5.10 32 bit on a older windows pc that has 32 bit architecture. When I reboot it, it comes up and says "Failed to start the X Server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?
When ever it probes for the video card, its fails then reboots to this every time.
What do I need to do at this point?

I agree with Dude.
Oracle Linux is a server distro. You are installing it on a client platform. You are expecting it to support client hardware and have, by default, the required drivers on hand to support that client hardware.
I would think that the failure here is on your part, and not on Oracle Linux's part.
Why are you not using Ubuntu instead? It is one of the most widely used Linux desktop clients, and has out-of-the-box support for an extensive range of client hardware (from h/w acceleration support for video adapters, to supporting video/web cams. touch pads, WiFi chipsets, etc).
If you want to test drive Oracle Linux as a server platform on client hardware, consider virtualisation (like free VirtualBox).

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 !

Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

JDeveloper 11.1.2 install on Oracle Linux 6 U1 64 bit

I am trying to install jDeveloper on Oracle Linux 6 U1 (6.1) and keep getting a variety of errors. I know that jDeveloper does not support 64 bit Operating Systems very well. However with the majority of new systems being 64 bit and the memory limitations of 32 bit is jDeveloper going to move into the next century and support 64 bit jvm's and operating systems natively? When will this happen?

When will this happen?JDeveloper supports 64-bit operating systems just fine as well as the JDK is also a 64-bit JDK. I've been running JDev using 64-bit JDKs on OS X and Linux for a few years without issue.
You might be having issues with JDeveloper on Oracle Linux 6, however - the WebLogic install scripts, etc. do not include support for Oracle Linux 6 as of yet, nor Java 7.
Take a look at the certification matrix for operating systems and Java versions in JDeveloper:

Are there any patches required after installed Oracle Linux 6.3?

The latest Oracle linux 6.3 is completed installed, I have following 2 questions:
1. Is there any required patches I should install, and where I can download them from?
2. After the installation, and works alright, what else I need to perform?
Thanks!

Thanks for the response.

Install questions on OVM Manager and Oracle Linux

I installed OVM Server 3.0.3 on a 64-bit server class box.
Getting tight with a spare box, I tried to install OVM Manager on the Oracle VirtualBox as a VM and also to install it on the top of OVM Server on the same hardware box but neither has been successful.
So, I'm thinking of rather installing OVM Manager on one of my laptops.
Before proceeding to wipe out the data on my laptop, I'd like to check couple of things:
1. I take it that the 32-bit OVM Manager should have no problem working with 64-bit OVM Server, correct?
2. The OVM Manager itself doesn't include with a bootable Linux image and should be installed on the top of a pre-installed Linux (e.g., Oracle Linux), so I need to install Oracle Linux first on my laptop and install OVM Manager on top of it, right?
Thanks for your help in advance!

You'll need at least 4GB of RAM for the Manager for a test/development environment, with 8GB+ recommended for Production, to cover both Oracle Database SE and Oracle WebLogic.

Reg: SVN client for oracle linux

Hi,
can u plz provide some link to download and instal SVN CLIENT in ORACLE LINUX.
Thanks,

They have installed the wrong Linux distro on that desktop.
A server o/s does not provide default support for desktop h/w (like webcams, touchpads, latest video chipsets, etc). Instead, it provides support for server h/w and server environments.
What you should be looking at is Ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04 (see http://www.ubuntu.com/). It is arguably the best Linux desktop distro. I have been using it for over 10 years now doing development and support. Prior to that I used Fedora, but it never did provide a smooth install and out-of-the-box driver support for desktop h/w. And I doubt that this has changed to be better than what Ubuntu supports and provides.
If you do use Ubuntu, consider the 64bit version if your are developing s/w for 64bit Linux - makes development and deployment easier as there are some differences between the 32bit and 64bit kernels.
You will also be able to install 64bit Oracle XE on your desktop (if you do get to that stage and need assistance in getting the XE Redhat RPM installed, post a message on the database general questions forum).

Poor SSD disk IO speed in Oracle Linux 6.3 (Windows migration)

Hello,
I am trying to migrate from Windows to Oracle Linux, but I'm seeing very poor disk IO speeds. It's probably a tuning thing, but I'm relatively new to Oracle Linux and could use some detailed advice.
I took one physical server and migrated it from Windows 2008R2 to Oracle Linux 6.3 while maintaing the same Oracle version (11.2.0.3 Enterprise with ASM) and the same hardware (quad CPU 48 core HP DL585 G7 with 128GB RAM, 7 LSI 9200-8e HBAs, 28 Samsung SSD Drives). Disk IO performance, as measured using Oracle IO Calibration, was ~7,800MB/Second and 440K IOPS under windows but fell to ~2,400MB/Second and 250K IOPS under Linux.
Oracle Linux and the DB were installed using default values. The Oracle tools seem to have done a great job setting all of the obvious IO tuning parameters like the scheduler, but I figure that there are other important IO-related OS or DB parameters and that I have failed to configure the system properly.
My goal for the migration is sequential read IO speed and I would have bet money that Linux would provide better performance than Windows. I still think that it should. What basic IO tuning should I do for Oracle Linux using ASM and SSD drives?
Thank you!
Some details:
Oracle DB 11.2.0.3 enterprise installed via the GUI with the "Data Warehousing" template
ASM - single disk group, 28 SSD disks, AU=4MB
Oracle memory: Automatic memory management, 64GB allocated
Non-default Oracle params: filesystemio_options=setall, disk_asynch_io=true
Edited by: 975524 on Dec 7, 2012 8:56 AM

Thanks "dude" for the advice. Unfortunately, I am still seeing low IO speeds.
The default scheduler for OEL 6.3 with the DB pre-install package is deadline, which seemed like a far better choice than CFS. Based on your advice, I tried noop this morning and got the same results. I also tested with and without hugepages and saw only a small difference - at least in IO speed - I did not test overall DB performance. Lastly, I understand the /dev/shm issue, but even with the default configuration I'm getting 64MB allocated to Oracle, which is far more than is needed to test sequential IO - in fact I can get better results by using less RAM.
To answer your questions, I am testing using Oracle IO Calibration, which is an IO testing feature of the Oracle DB that is similar to the standalone Oracle Orion tool. I also performed a few tests using IOMeter, but found that the Linux version of that product was not giving me consistent data. The overall trend was the same however - IO on the Linux version far lower than the same hardware running Windows. The system is functioning very well, so I assume that everything has been installed correctly, but I do not think that it was installed optimally - thus my cry for help.
I am so surprised that Linux is showing slow IO!

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?

Oracle Linux 6 - stuck on Welcome Setup Screen, black screen on CTRL+ALT+F*

Oracle Linux 6 DVD x64.
Installed fine. I selected gnome for UI + all dev packages as I will be doing some dev work on the box.
After install it boots okay and the Welcome setup screen shows up. It allows me to setup connection to ULN, create a user, enable kdump etc. These functions work fine, but right after I finish setting it all up (i.e. the last setting I see is the kdump enable/disable screen), the box goes into limbo state after pressing [Finish] button.
The screen turns black and that's it.
Also when I tried to switch from the Welcome setup screen to a terminal mode, i.e. by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 (tried ...+F2 also) the box gets stuck too. There is no way to go back to the X session, i.e. CTRL+ALT+F6 (F7, F8). It is just stuck on the black screen.
Here's some specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P8H67-M Pro (with B3 revision of Sandy Bridge)
CPU: Intel I5-2500 (VPRO) (BX80623I52500)
Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB (compatible with m/b + run memtest86 for hours without error)
Video: using built in Intel HD (could this be the issue?)
After re-boot I'm back to Welcome setup screen.
Notes:
1. Boots fine if 'singleuser' is appended to the kernel boot line in GRUB, but that's not the point. I would like to run UI.
2. I have tried removing 'rhgb' and 'quiet' kernel boot parameters to no avail. I have actually stripped the kernel boot line in GRUB down to 'ro' and that would not help either.
3. Ubuntu 10.10 x64 runs fine.
4. Windows 7 x64 runs fine.

You may have a hardware or system bios issue in combination with the existing drivers. Have you checked the vendors home page for your system? What clues exit in the log files in /var/log?
It sounds like you are using a Latop. Oracle Linux, like RHEL is not designed for desktop and mobile computers. Installation success will depend on your hardware compatibility, but you will very likely be missing appropriate drivers for wireless, video and power management.
If Enterprise Linux is a requirement and you are not using it as the primary OS, or if the computer hardware lacks support, how about installing Oracle Virtualbox and install Linux as a guest OS - I'm pretty sure this should work.

Report Printing in Apex 4.x / Oracle Linux - Need Help

Hi
I am new to Oracle Application Express tool. I am trying to setup an Oracle Apex environment to start a new application development. So far, I have completed the following:
1. Installed Oracle Linux 6.3
2. Installed Oracle 11g Express (64 bit version). As you know, Oracle Apex is bundled in this.
3. Completed the installation as per the documentation provided, and it works fine (I tried the following).
- Able to connect to the DB via SQL*Net from other machines in the network.
- Able to run Apex from other machines in the network.
- Created new workspace and applications (pages etc) and they work fine.
4. Downloaded the Apache FOP 1.1 binary and extracted the files under /usr (the extract created a directory fop-1.1 under /usr and all fop related files are there under this.
5. Tested the fop by running "fop -fo <input_file> <output file>" from the $ prompt. It works fine.
Now, I am stuck at setting up Report printing. Please note that, other that what is mentioned above, we have no other software installed on the server. Can someone guide me on how I can setup report printing with this software setup? Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
With APEX you have two options for configuring a print server for PDF printing. BI Publisher and Apache FOP. The Apache FOP options actually refers to a J2EE app that we ship with APEX (see /utilities/fop/fop.war in your installation folder). This .war file needs to be installed on OC4J and then your APEX instance needs to be pointed to a specific URL in your print configuration, see more details here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/configure-printing-093060.html
When using the database 11g, you'll also have to enable networking services, which is also covered in the documented I mentioned above..
Given what you outlined in your post, I'm assuming you're using the embedded gateway (built-in web server in the database). As an alternative, you might want to look at the APEX Listener, which actually has FOP built-in, so in your APEX Instance Administration you would only have to select the APEX Listener as the print options, and all the other config steps would not be needed
More information on the APEX Listener can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex-listener/overview/index.html

Configurator Hangs in Oracle Linux

I'm trying to simply install and configure Essbase Server (11.1.2.2) in a Linux environment.
I thought Oracle Linux was compatible, but I cannot for the life of me get the configurator to do anything in Oracle Linux.
I've tried installing and configuring in version 6.4 and 5.9.
This works fine in RedHat, but I don't have a RedHat subscription to continue using RedHat 5.
What happens to the configurator is it'll get to the point of trying to configure Hyperion Foundation, but nothing happens.
No percentage, no progress bar, no status, nothing, it just hangs. It won't even create the epmsystem directory until I hit cancel.
It also hangs if I try ./configtool.sh -console

Unfortunately no, but I did figure out what was wrong.
Hyperion wasn't resolving the hostname properly.
I discovered this by using the epmsystem-hostname utility in /Oracle/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/common/config/11.1.2.0
It was coming back with an error that it couldn't resolve the InetAddress
So I had to add the server's ip address and name to /etc/hosts, and after doing that, epmsystem-hostname was able to resolve the name and the configurator finally ran properly.
And like I stated above, I could get the configurator to run, but it just wouldn't do any actual configuring on the screen after I selected the items to configure and clicked next.
