Oracle Linux as Guest OS in Oracle VM (which all kernel are supported.)

Hi,
currently Oracle packages two different kernels with Oracle Linux (Redhat compatible kernel and UEK). so when running Oracle Linux as guest on Oracle VM server which are the kernel are supported???
Thanks,
Inbaraj

Thanks for your reply... i understand that Oracle kernel is better than Red Hat compatible kernel, but RHCK is still bundled with OL , that's where my question started whether RHCK is supported as guest in OVM?

Which XSLT versions are support by Oracle BPEL? v1.1 or v2.0?

Which XSLT versions are support by Oracle BPEL? v1.1 or v2.0?
As far as I heard v1.1 is the highest version but some functions of v2.0 are supported as well.
Is this true?
If yes: Which XSLT functions of v2.0 are supported?
Does it matter if I change the
version="1.1"

Which XSLT processor is built-in/used?

XSL mapper in BPEL supports 1.0 only in-built. And this is true for 11g also. However, we can declare <xsl:stylesheet version = 2.0 ... and use all xpath 2.0 functions. I have used few of them and has been successful so far. Once you declare version as 2.0 the only issue will be that XSL's visual GUI mapper will not work in JDeveloper and you will need to modify the code from the source.

Installing 11gR2 (linux.zseries64) on oracle linux 5 guest system failed

Dear experts,
I decided to post a detailed thread since it seems my last thread is totally forgotten. Hopefully, this thread could clarify my problem of installing oracle database 11.2.0.2 in oracle linux guest system in windows 7 host system. Sorry about that.
I installed oracle linux 5 update 6 x86_64 bits guest system in my windows 7 host using oracle virtualbox 4.2.12 so that I can install oracle database 11.2.0.2 (linux.zseries64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip, linux.zseries64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip). The oracle database I downloaded has some functions which are not available in 11.2.0.1. These two disks are extracted in a shared folder.
I followed the instructions in a guide to run the installation:
# yum install oracle-validated
It succeeded. and, I used uname -a to return this additional information:
"Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-400.26.2.el5uek #1"
Then I set these below:
SELINUX=permissive
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01
xhost + 127.0.0.1
and, added something in .bash_profile:
# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
ORACLE_HOSTNAME=127.0.0.1; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_UNQNAME=DB11G; export ORACLE_UNQNAME
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=DB11G; export ORACLE_SID
PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH
Then, I set DISPLAY environment in terminal:
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
Finally, I logged into the guest system as a user, not root, to run the installation. However, I got the frustrating error message:
[hsl@localhost database]$ ./runInstaller
./runInstaller: line 254: /media/sf_My_Share/Oracle/database/install/.oui: cannot execute binary file
Can anybody please give some advices to fix the problem. The installation is very important to me. Thanks a lot in advance.

/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
memory_max_target          big integer 4G
memory_target          big integer 0
shared_memory_address     integer     0
SQL> show parameter ga
NAME                    TYPE     VALUE

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.....
thanks

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.

Oracle Linux and Automatic Installation of Oracle Related Packages

G'day,
I recently decided to check out Oracle's Unbreakable Linux as I am/was thinking of switching to it for all my company's database deployments. What originally attracted me to Oracle Linux was that I though there would have been a kickstart, package or in the GUI install, a check box to install all of Oracle's dependencies.
When I installed it first, I manually selected a bunch of relevant packages, then installed any missing packages manually via a local YUM repository that I had made. Alas however, Oracle did not install correctly. So, I reinstalled, this time as a full install. Oracle then worked like a charm.
I also noticed, when editing /etc/sysctl.conf and /etc/securetty/limits.conf that these files had basically all ready been configured.
So, my question is, as I have had no luck using the search functionality here, is anyone aware of a kickstart argument, or an Oracle package that will install and in turn by way of dependencies, install all the necessary Oracle bits and pieces? Ideally, I would like to do this by way of kickstart as to automate as much of the process as possible.
If I can do this, then with some further testing, I will make the switch to Oracle's Linux for our Oracle deployments.
Cheers,
Conor

Yes, there is a great package called oracle-validated that is available that will pre-configured Oracle Enterprise Linux for installation using the Oracle Universal Installer. It ensures that things like sysctl.conf are all correct.
It should be available in the base download, so you can test it out. :)

Upgrade Lab with Oracle Linux 5.4 installed to Oracle Linux 6.3

Dear Experts,
I hope to upgrade a lab of 30 PC have got OEL 5.4 installed, to have OEL 6.3
What is the fastest (automated) installation method to accomplish that.
Best Regards
Mahmoud Rabie

I think you just need to press the tab key at the install options window (there is a 60 second countdown) and add ks=http://<server>/path/to/kickstart to the kernel parameter line.
But why bother at all with the current upgrade strategy? Why not implementing common virtualization solutions, like free Oracle VM VirtualBox. Are your student PC's ancient or or not suitable? Why implement old fashioned system administration and deny yourself the huge benefit of virtualized systems. Virtualization like VirtualBox will give you efficient and painless features to easily manage system installations on your student systems, including the option to run multiple operating systems on a singly computer. You can easily restore your student systems to specific installation and configuration presets in seconds prior to every lab by using built-in snapshot restore technologies, as well as easily cloning and deploying your systems.

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.

Could anyone give me a pointer as to what is or even could be causing this? I'm completely stumped at this point
Thanks,

It looks like the system has trouble opening or finding the /boot volume. I don't think it is an incompatibility with your hardware. You might however want to make sure you installed a recent VMware version and have correct settings to support x64 guest OS. I'm not using VMware anymore, but under VirtualBox such issue can be due to missing I/O apic and VT-x support in the BIOS.

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.

How to configure Oracle Linux 6.5 to request ip address from dhcp server

I have installed Oracle Linux 6.5 (minimal installation) on a virtual machine created on VMware vSphere 5.5. I have tried to configure dhcp during the installation by editing IPv4 Settings of System eth0 to use Automatic (DHCP) but somehow it does not work.
Then I changed the ifcfg-eth0 to use static ip address and that works.
Here is the content of /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=TESTOL
Here is the content of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 using static ip address:
DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID=xxxxxxxx.xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
IPADDR:##.##.###.###
PREFIX=24
GATEWAY=##.##.###.###
DNS1=##.##.###.###
DOMAIN:test.com
DEFROUTE=yes
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NAME="System eth0"
Based on my understanding, I should able to use dhcp by changing ifcfg-eth0 (I commented the parameters not needed for dhcp by adding #) but I have tried the following ifcfg-eth0 and it does not work:
DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
UUID=xxxxxxxx.xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks for any help

If this is your first experience with Oracle Linux, I recommend you perform a default installation instead of going minimal, which is just going to make things more difficult for no good reason. Enterprise Linux is not MS Windows and the difference between default and minimal installations do not compare.
You also do not want to use the rpm utility to install any software and use yum instead. The yum utility is standard. Rpm does not resolve software dependencies.
Your ifcfg-eth0 script is missing the line that specifies to use DHCP:
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
You can also use the network configuration utility, even in text mode, by typing the following at the command prompt of root:
system-config-network
If the above utility is not installed:
yum install system-config-network-tui
You will have to configure an appropriate yum repository file. The process is explained in the Oracle Linux release notes:
https://oss.oracle.com/el6/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U5-en.html
See 3.2.3. About Oracle Linux Installation Media
Then insert the DVD or attach the DVD iso image to your virtual machine and mount it as following:
mkdir -p /media/ISOimage
mount /dev/cdrom /media/ISOimage
The path "/media/ISOimage" should be the same as you specified in the yum repository file.
After that you can use the yum utility to list or install software.

How to install oracle 11g on oracle linux 6.1.

Hello everyone here at oracle forum.!
I'm new on using the linux and i badly need to learn it including the Oracle Database for making PHP website.
Because of this i downloaded all the packages of Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 Media Pack for x86 (32 bit) at E-Delivery.
Now i was having a hard time figuring out how to install all the 4 ISO images. the only one that worked was was the boot.iso that installed the Oracle Linux 6 without the DB.
So what would i do to use the 3 updates?
I burnt them all one by one on different DVD but it wont look for the other packages.
So please guys bare with me and help me figure out how to use the other 3 packages for i know it has the Oracle Database.
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 source DVD 1 V26570-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 source DVD 2 V26571-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 1 Boot iso image for x86 (32 bit) V26573-01

Oracle Linux does not install any Oracle Database. You don't need the source and boot.iso DVD. You can boot and install the system from the Oracle Linux 6.1 installation DVD. The boot.iso is useful for a network install and the source DVD if you want to compile everything yourself.
As far as I know, Oracle Database has not been certified for Oracle Linux 6 yet. That does not necessarily mean you cannot install Oracle Database on Oracle Linux 6 yet, but you will run into problems with software requirements, package dependencies and perhaps incompatibilities, i.e. ext4 file system.
I think your best option is to install Oracle Linux 5 and certainly use Oracle VirtualBox. If you are new to Linux you probably cannot use Linux as your primary OS yet, and VirtualBox will allow you to install and re-install without jeopardizing your primary host OS. You can also download pre-build virtual machines for Virtualbox from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html which might have everything you need installed and ready to use.

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:
