Oracle Linux Certification(1Z0-403)

Hello, dear professionals,
Yesterday I passed exam 1Z0-403, with mark 92%, is there any certificate available for this exam?
Thank you in advance.

If you have also passed the 1z0-042 exam (Oracle Linux Fundamentals) or any other certification LPI, Linux+, Ubuntu, Red Hat, or Novell, you will recieve the Oracle Linux Administrator Certified Associate certification.
There is more information in this page: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=149
If you work for an Oracle Partner Company you will also recieve the OPN Certified Specialist designation.

Oracle 11gR2 certification for Oracle Linux 6

Hello,
According to Oracle documentation, database certification and support for Oracle 11gR2 under Oracle Linux starts with 11.2.0.3.
I was wondering if this might have anything to do with the i386 software prerequisites. Speaking of Oracle 11gR2 x86_64, the need for i386 libraries was removed with 11gR2 11.2.0.2. Or in other words, one can go straight to 11.2.0.2 without the need to install any 32-bit libraries.
Under Oracle Linux 5 x86_64, the "oracle-validated" package triggers the installation of several i386 packages. Under Oracle Linux 6 x86_64, the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package uses x86_64 only. Under Oracle Linux 6, i386 changed to i686.
For what it's worth, I have installed Oracle 11gR2 database 11.2.0.1 under Oracle Linux 6.1 to 6.3, both x86_64, simply by using the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package, and so far have not noticed any problems. Is there some information available, why 11.2.0.1 (x86_64) should not be used or is not certified for Oracle Linux 6 (x86_64)?
Thanks.

I was afraid of that. Since the question is Oracle Linux 6 specific, I thought I'd try my luck here, thinking that if I get an answer, then probably here. Maybe it was not very realistic to get an answer anyway.
For what it's worth. Using "oracle-validated" under Oracle Linux 5, and "oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall" under Oracle Linux 6, I was able to install Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1 just fine, both platforms x86_64 and 32-bit. I have not found any operational issues yet and it seems to run perfectly well.
The only trouble I had was with Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.1, and here 11.2.0.3 is indeed required for it to install. I made a custom patch, just a few lines and after that 11.2.0.1, both x86_64 and 32-bit installed just fine and is fully operational.
I'm though I could post the patch. I guess it might make those people happy who do not have access to Oracle support and download 11.2.0.3. The patch will allow them to use the 11gR2 OTN version and install it under Oracle Linux 6. It won't be certified, but it is good enough for the purpose of education.
I'm closing the thread.

You do need to have
Oracle Certified Associate, Oracle Linux 5 and 6 System Administrator or
Oracle Linux Administrator Certified Associate (retired)
as well of course!
but if necessary you can pass 1z0-100 after 1z1-105 and you will still be awarded OL6 OCP!

Oracle Linux 5 or higher version hardware certification information

Dear All ,
I need to install oracle linux 5 update 4 or higher on server HP server. Hence I want to know the cerfication information on corresponding hardware,
Below is hardware detail
HP ProLiant DL785 Generation 5 (G5)
4* AMD Opteron 8393, Quad Core @ 3.1 GHz scalable to 8CPU, 64GB RAM, 8*300 HDD, 4*GbE, DVD, 2*dual port HBA
Please let me know if there is any cerfication issue of oracle linux on above mentioned hardware.
Thanks ,
Raj

I suggest to check the HP Linux certification matrix (Archive) at:

Oracle Linux hardware certification question

Hello,
Our company is considering running the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server and I've been tasked with determining the best OS/HW platforms to run it on. For the OS, I'd like to run Oracle Linux with the UEK. I would prefer that we run this on a VM (we're currently at vSphere4.1) but VMware doesn't appear in the HW Cert list (http://linux.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=117:1:4073041665385184:::::) at all. So barring a VM I'd like to run on a Cisco UCS B200 M2 Blade Server.
Since the hardware certification list referenced above indicates this HW has been certified on OL v5.7, but not any other releases I'm assuming no one has certified later releases on that same HW platform. If a HW platform is certified on a certain release will I be able to get Oracle support for later Oracle Linux releases on that same HW platform?
I really don't want to start out several revs behind on the OS.
Of course the latest RPAS install doc indicates the application is supported on OL v5.5, but I think the question of whether or not I can run it on later releases is probably for another forum. I've decided to start with the OS / HW questions first.
Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hi Todd,
I believe your question is answered in the FAQ: http://linux.oracle.com/hcl_faq.html#_4
To which Oracle Linux and Oracle VM releases does a hardware certification apply?
An Oracle Linux or Oracle VM hardware certification applies to the posted releases and subsequent minor releases until a new hardware certification is posted. For example, a hardware certification posted for Oracle Linux 6.1 applies to Oracle Linux 6.2, Oracle Linux 6.3 and so forth until new hardware certification is posted. This rule only applies to minor releases, so a certification for Oracle Linux 6 does not apply to Oracle Linux 5 nor does a certification for Oracle Linux 5 automatically apply to Oracle Linux 6.

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?

Certification of Oracle Linux 6 with Oracle Database 11gR2?

Dear Oracle Corporation,
You released Oracle Database 11gR2 in September, 2009.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6 on 12 Feb 2011.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.1 on 1 Jun 2011.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.2 on 20 Dec 2011.
And, here we are on 21 Feb 2012, and you still have not certified Oracle Database 11gR2 (your most recent and up to date version of the database that's currently available!) with Oracle Linux 6!
You think you'll get around to that, any time soon?
All my love,
-Mark

Hi Hans;
Thanks for answer ;)
Because it is not a certifiaction issue. It is a timing issue, and that is in the hands of the legal department. Support can do absolutely nithing about it, and if they indicate a date, the Support Analyst will likely get fired.Please imagine, let us say my company always prefer to work lastest version of server,oracle products and also OS because of company policy. If I want to use 11gR2 with lastest version there is no problem. Because Oracle suggest to use lastest oracle version because of new futures wiht less bugs. So in my company happy with to use lastes oracle products and my company always want to work oracle linux. Big bosses ask the manager " Why we are still using old OEL 5.x version, there are already new products avaliable at market, If oracle 5.x perfect why they made annoucement new products, If they not certified wiht their other products why they create new OS, is it bad to use *nix 6 instead of 5?
So I wonder thah question and Dont I have a right to get to find some answers from oracle which I pay xxx$million dolar each year for their products and their metalink support.
So if its timing issue and let us say again I am only using windows not any other OS. Why oracle publish same product for different OS? If its timing issue than there are huge difference between annoucement
You released Oracle Database 11gR2 in September, 2009.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6 on 12 Feb 2011.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.1 on 1 Jun 2011.
Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.2 on 20 Dec 2011.2009 and 2012 ? It isnt big timing issue? :)
Anyway thanks for answer once more.. Let us see when some product will be certified wiht newer OS.

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

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.

Does weblogic server 10.3.6 & 10.3.5 supported on oracle linux 5.8 ?

I am trying to install weblogic server 10.3.6 on Oracle linux 5.8 (64-bit) platform. While creating domain , it does not take any input in password & conform password fields on "configure administrator username and password page". The field remains blank. I am stuck at this point and not able to create domain. The same issue is with weblogic 10.3.5 server. The java i used is jdk1.7 update 3 and jdk 1.6 update 27. In Both the cases i am not to create domain.
Can anyone of you tell me if weblogic 10.3.6 is supported on Oracle linux 5.8 platform. If it is supported any idea how to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Padma

Yes. Please refer

Hi Avi,
Thanks for your reply.
I was able to install the packages, not eactly the same way as u told but I downloaded them from http://public-yum.oracle.com/ and installed them manually. Was also able to change parameters.
And Bingo, there was no pre-requisite failures while installing SOA.
One of the probs that I'm facing now is that when I try to access the WLS Console of SOA after creating domain, I'm able to open it on the local machine using IP and localhost. But it doesn't work the same way when I use hostname. It gives an error saying No Route to the Host. Also I'm not able to access WLS Console from any other machine using IP address of the machine.
Any inputs that can be of any help.
Cheers,
Varun

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:
