Oracle Linux Documentation, just Linux, not Database.

I am having trouble finding a good install guide for Oracle Linux 6 that explains all the installation options.
Where is the best place to find such documentation? Most of the doco I've seen is for installing databases and other products once OL is already installed.
Thanks
AndrewM

This looks like the answer, but every document is for RHEL .... isn't there some specific Oracle Linux documents?
The DVD lead me to:
https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/
But http works fine for this requirement:

Virtualbox ORACLE Linux not installing

Not sure what the issue is. I have Virtual box - upgraded to today's version
I got a copy of Oracle linux (6) at a seminar today. The goal is to install Oracle Linux on the Virtual box to test it.
During the install the keyboard commands (options?) flash by too fast to read.
Installation says the kernel is not right "This kernel requires x8-64 CPU, but only detected an i686CPU."
Well it is a 64 bit CPU.
I tried it on a 32 bit CPU box and got the same result.
alas. is this a bust?

Here's some additional information that seems relevant to your problem: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2061
You could also check your VBox.log file, which contains, among a lot of other things, detailed information about the host CPU type and supported features.
I suggest to check if there is a BIOS update available for your computer, or try to use a 32-bit Oracle Linux distribution, which you can download for free from https://edelivery.oracle.com/linux
Regarding your hardware upgrade question, check the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization
+As of 2009[update] not all Intel processors supported VT-x, which Intel uses to segment its market.[20] Support for VT-x may even vary between different versions (as identified by Intel's sSpec Number) of the same model number.[21] [22] For a complete and up-to-date list see the Intel website.[23] Even in May, 2011, the Intel CPU P6100 which is in laptops does not support hardware virtualization [1].+

Version error installing SOA on Oracle Linux

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.1.0, soa_linux_x86_101310_disk1.cpio) on Oracle Linux 5, but I'm getting the following error:
Checking operating system version: must be redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS rele
ase 3, redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4, redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Lin
ux ES release 3, redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 or SuSE-9
Failed <<<<
Is Oracle Linux not compatible with SOA? My understanding is that Oracle Linux 5 is basically Redhat 4:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-53.el5 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Sat Nov 10 18:24:52 EST 2007.
Thanks,

You require a patch 6339508 which provides replacement pre-requisite tests. To use it you need to add two parameters to the runInstaller command as shown below.
./runInstaller PREREQ_CONFIG_LOCATION=<PATCH_LOC>/prereq –paramFile <PATCH_LOC>/oraparam.ini
PATCH_LOC is the location where you unzipped the 6339508 patch. With these new parameters the installer correctly recognizes Oracle Enterprise Linux as a supported platform. Note that OEL needs some specific patches when used with SOA Suite and these need to be installed prior to running the installer. Check the documentation for details.

Database home page not opening in oracle linux 4 after installation?

I have just installed oracle 10g express edition R8 (32 bit) in oracle linux 4 (oem 4) which is running on vmware. After installation on going
application(start)->oracle 10g express edition ->Go To database home page. Database home page starts on konqureor and it shows
"An error occurred while loading *http://http//127.0.0.1:%httpport%/apex*:
Unknown host http "
All the other application including plsql is working right which comes with oracle 10g xe. But without Database home page i can't start doing plsql because i can not create any database without opening database home page.
I have also posted this question in yahoo answers(_http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjLqSLCkMZzaJgBv_igbiN7ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20120324013912AANOlL9_) but what answers has been provided i am not able to understand.
plz help i wanted to work on oracle database. I am trying it for so long. Thanks in advance

Edited by: 921562 on Mar 24, 2012 3:35 AMThis has nothing to do with Oracle. Do you have an understanding of how URL's are constructed? The leading characters, delimited by the colon (':') specify http protocol. The string between the first colon and the next (if exists) specifies the fully qualified name of the host, or the IP addess of the host. Take a look at what you have there: //http//127.0.0.1" I really don't think your host name is "//http//127.0.0.1". More like '//127.0.0.1"

Where is the oracle linux 6.4 installation screenshots documentation ?.

Hello
Some questions.
1. Where is the oracle linux 6.4 installation screenshots documentation ?.
2. Is the disk layout documentation/swap sizing information listed in documentation ?.
I have 8GB memory installed on a 64 bit machine
I want to install the swap partition at the end of the disk.
I want to install oracle 11gr2 database software as well.

The installation guide available at https://linux.oracle.com/documentation/ may require some updating. Last time I checked, chapter 16.16.5. Recommended Partitioning Scheme, did not include the swap space required for hibernation mode.
It is mentioned here:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s2-diskpartrecommend-x86.html
Swap space size recommendations issued for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 differed from the current recommendations, which were first issued with the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 in June 2012 and did not account for hibernation space.

Dashboard Console not working - opesntack on Oracle Linux 6.6

I have installed openstack using the instructions at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/openstack/linux/documentation/oracle-openstack-user-guide-2296176.pdf
I have a Oracle Linux 6.6 as the controller and two nodes of Oracle VM 3.3.2 as compute nodes. I managed to get an instance up and running but not sure how to connect to those instances. When I navigate to the console tab of the instance vnc connects successfully the be screen is blank and I think its not accepting any keyboard inputs as well.
How do I get the console to work from the dashboard (or connect via a vnc viewer)? Alternately I have used DHCP in the instance and know the private IP of the instance (192.168.1.100), how do I ssh to the instance?
Amish.

Hi Amish,
I saw your comment in other thread and I'll try to answer your questions in the best way I can - but this is huge topic. Please keep in mind that I'm also newbie in this area too and I've encountered many problems getting basic OpenStack installation working, like you. Some of them are still not solved for me either. I also did not get any help here
Networking in OpenStack is IMO difficult to understand, especially for people like me who are accustom with traditional approach. So this is how I understand it now:
Networking can be purely software driven and in this case it is carried out by openvswitch (http://openvswitch.org - better get accustom with it if you are not yet). Simple linux bridge - utilized by Oracle VM - is not used by OpenStack. Also there can be hardware plugins which can move some of network features to hardware - but I have no experience in this area.
There are two types of networks you can create in OpenStack: provider and tenant one:
Provider networks (also called flat networks) are equivalent of what you set in Oracle VM Manager and in typical (old fashioned) IT world. These are networks which in OpenStack are defined by cloud administrator (You) and bound to existing physical network which are already set by network administrator. For example you have couple of ports on your servers connected to LAN switches, some of them are in access mode some are trunks of specific VLANs. Also routers and other network services are managed outside of your cloud.
You need to define these networks in OpenStack before any user can connect their VMs to them. The most important part is that can do this from the GUI .
On the other hand there are so called: tenant networks. These are networks which are under cloud user administration. These are like cloud private networks (if you know Ops Center or Exalogic there is similar notion there) - which are created on-demand by your users. You as cloud administrator only create some limits (quotas) regarding how many such networks can be created by user. But obviously you - as cloud administrator - also need to define mechanisms which allow such networks be created on demand. This also has to be done from command line by editing some files - before users can create tenant networks.
The mechanism I'm talking about can be: VLAN, VxLAN, GRE.
First one is the only one currently supported by Oracle and it is quite simple: you, in cooperation with your network administrator reserve range (or set) of traditional VLANs and configure them on network switches where your servers are connected (I mean server ports which you dedicate for tenant networks - not all because you need other network for management, etc). Then you define this set in some OpenStack files to let it manage them on its own. For example: you have got 20 VLANs from network department for exclusive use for your cloud. Nobody knows what each VLAN will be used for yet. This will be allocated by cloud users on-demand. Openstack will just allocate VLAN upon user request and will not allow other users to create their private networks on the same VLAN.
Better approach is to use VxLAN which is tunneling mechanism. You don't need pool of VLANs in this case but you just set tunneling rules and then OpenStack creates private networks using secure tunnels over L3 network which you define first. VxLAN is standard, you can read about it and it is used by OpenStack for Solaris. Unfortunately this did not work for me and Release Notes from Oracle OpenStack for Linux says that it is not supported yet.
There is also GRE - which is also tunneling and is similar to VxLAN - but it did not work for me either.
Where it is all configured? Basic setup is created by packstack using CONFIG_NEUTRON_OVS_* variables. However I used packstack only for installation and then I modified configuration files on all nodes. The most important file where configuration is kept is: /etc/neutron/plugin.ini. In this files you set framework on which provider and tenant networks are build. The most important section is [OVS], for example:
[OVS]
enant_network_type=vlan
enable_tunneling=false
integration_bridge=br-int
bridge_mappings=physnet1:br-eth3
network_vlan_ranges=physnet1:2032:2032,physnet1:3010:3020
This example is from compute node. It says: I have one physical network: physnet1 which is supported by virtual switch called br-eth3. You need to create this virtual switch on your own! OpenStack networking deamons (Neutron) do not create virtual switches - they only reconfigure them if needed. Physical network is just name which you can use later on if you setup provider network.
Also, in the example you tell OpenStack that you have 11 VLANs available on physnet1 network. Similar configuration has to be done on controller node (but it is only because in simple topology your controller is also network node)
Then I dedicated first VLAN: 2032 for provider network. This was accomplished by command issued on controller node.
# neutron net-create --router:external=true --provider:network_type=vlan --provider:physical_network=physnet1 --provider:segmentation_id=2032 labnet
From that moment this network (called "labnet") should appear in the GUI and you can connect VMs to it. Users might also do this if you mark it as "shared".
Also users should be able to create their private networks and this will allocate VLANs from 3010 to 3020 - so there can be only 10 private networks created totally in your cloud now.
Of course this is example and you can build completely different setup. You can use different ports for provider networks and for tenants one. You do not need VLANs for provider networks and theoretically for tenant too - but you would have to have plenty of ports for this. If you manage to get VxLAN working - then please share your experience here.
I strongly recommend reading following information sources (Oracle does not provide this details in their documentation):
OpenStack Docs: Current
https://developer.rackspace.com/blog/neutron-networking-the-building-blocks-of-an-openstack-cloud/ there are more blog entries (followups) on this topic - look for them using keyword "neutron"
https://www.rdoproject.org/forum/discussion/875/does-rdo-support-flat-network-type-/p1
As for blank VM console:
I've also had this problem when I used Cirros VM images. However when I imported the template I use on my Oracle VM - then console was working correctly. I think this is more connected with VM configuration then OpenStack. AFAIK you can connect to console directly using vnc client - at least you can configure Nova in that way that it allows external VNC connections.

Is there a pre-built VM with just Oracle Linux?

I want to try out installing Oracle Database 11gR2 on a Virtualbox without going through installing Oracle Linux in a Windows Host so I'm looking for a pre-built VM with just Oracle Linux. Most of the VMs available in Pre-Built Developer VMs (for Oracle VM VirtualBox) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html already have Oracle Database installed. It seems that my only choice is to use Enterprise Java Development VM. I notice there is something called Oracle VM template but it does not seem to be for Virtualbox. Thanks for any help.

I would second Bjorn's suggestion to just go ahead and install Oracle Linux from scratch. As a DBA you need to be familiar with a lot of OS level admin stuff, so installing the OS from scratch and doing the minimal configuration needed to install Oracle is, in itself, an important part of your professional development. If you take a shortcut of using a pre-built vm you are just stunting your own growth.

32 Bit Installation or Oracle Linux and Oracle Database 10g

I have an old E-Machine that I wanted to put Oracle Linux and Oracle Database Express 11G on. I was just wanting to do some testing and development on the system. I'm pretty sure the machine is 32bit.
I just burned a copy of 32 bit Oracle Linux onto a CD. Is there a version of Oracle Database Express that will run on it?
It seems like there is only a 64 bit version of Oracle Express Database 11g. Is Oracle Database Express 10g installable on Oracle Linux 32 bit?
Let me know! Thanks in an advance.

One (or two) caveats with the 10g version, XE can not be patched and the 10.2.0.1 XEs were created before the current daylight savings time rules went into effect.
If you have access to My Oracle Support there is a method to get updated timezone files for the oracle binaries, you need at least version 4 of the DST files. I've got the MOS docIDs somewhere let us know if needed and I'll dig 'em up.

Rapidwiz fails on database step for 12.1.1 on Oracle Linux 5.7

I am trying to install Oracle EBS 12.1.1 on Oracle Linux 5.7 64 bit platform.
The issue is that after I followed the requirements including set kernel parameters by using the oracle-validated RPM package, the install fails on database creation step.
Below are logs:
getConnectionUsingSID() -->
JDBC URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@ebsdb01:1526:VIS
Exception occurred: java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection

Exception occurred: java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
I checked network interfaces and can ping the hosts. Here is my network /etc/hosts file:

112.2.2.11 ebsapp02.local.com ebsapp02
112.2.2.20 ebsdb01.local.com ebsdb01
Any ideas how to solve this issue? I even used latest release of Rapid Install wizard and no luck.

RDA is a diagnostic script for looking at requirements and settings from MOS.
I run this way:
perl rda.pl -T hcve

If you are running the one in (RDA 4 - Health Check / Validation Engine Guide [ID 250262.1]), then I believe it is only available for "Linux-x86 Platforms" (32-bit).
2) I notice issue with DNS configuration:
[root@ebsdb01 rda]# nslookup 122.2.2.2

Address: 122.2.2.22#5
** server can't find .in-addr.arpa.: NXDOMAINThis is a network issue, please check with your network admins/team.
3)
So this leads me to my next question, when I use nslookup to search the domain on the DNS server for the host, it resolves successfully. BUT, when I run nslookup against the IP address
it cannot find it in DNS. Would this be the root cause of why my installation keeps failing? I have verified checksums and software is fine. I am still missing a couple RPMs but do not believe this is what causing the install to fail yet in light of the network connection errors that Rapidwiz keeps throwing at me.All network files/settings can be found in (Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for Linux x86-64 [ID 761566.1]).

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

Parameters of NFS in Solaris 10 and Oracle Linux 6 with ZFS Storage 7420 in cluster without database

Hello,
I have ZFS 7420 in cluster and OS Solaris 10 and Oracle Linux 6 without DB and I need mount share NFS in this OS and I do not know which parameters are the best for this.
Wich are the best parameters to mount share NFS in Solaris 10 or Oracle Linux 6?
Thanks
Best regards.

Hi Pascal,
My question is because when We mount share NFS in some servers for example Exadata Database Machine or Super Cluster for best performance we need mount this shares with specific parameters, for example.
Exadata

Now,

What happen with normal servers only with OS (Solaris and Linux)?
Which parameters I need use for best performance?
or are not necessary specific parameters.
Thanks.

Oracle Linux in 11gR2 install documentation?

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24321/pre_install.htm#CHDFFBIF
Oracle® Database Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux
Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Linux 5 Update 5 (2.6.32) and above, available for x86-64 systems, contains several additional features and performance enhancements not available either with Oracle Linux or with other supported Linux distributions. This kernel can be installed on either Oracle Linux or Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions. Before installing the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, you must have Oracle Linux 5 Update 5 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 5 installed on an x86-64 server.
Is this information correct? Perhaps the following was better:
Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) for Linux 5 Update 5 (2.6.32) and above, available for x86-64 systems, contains several additional features and performance enhancements not available prior to Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 update 5 or with other supported Linux distributions. This kernel can be installed on either Oracle Linux 5 Update 5 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 5 installed on an x86-64 server. As of Oracle Linux 5 update 6, the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is the default system kernel. A 32-bit release of Oracle Linux including the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is available with Oracle Linux 5 update 7 and later.

VNC certainly has it's beauty and advantages. I was under the impression though that the OP is trying to run OUI on a local server console that is runnig a graphical desktop. If that wasn't the case, VNC was certainly a preferable option.I have not done a local GUI console installation of Oracle in years. In fact, I'm known to start foaming at the mouth when discovering a server running X on the console, disabling it interactively, preventing initlevel 5 from ever loading X again, and leave comments of my disgust in inittab. ;-)
If I'm not mistaken then the vncserver does not need to have the X server running since the necessary support is built-in. The installation of X libraries is probably still required, but I'm not sure.It needs a X display manager. And xterm. twm does fine as display manager. Small and minimalistic. Not the greatest of ideas loading an entire Gnome desktop in VNC.
Btw, Apple Mac OS X provides seamless X11 support and uses VNC for screen sharing and even for installing a system remotely. If you use Apple Mac to access a remote Linux system, using ssh with X forwarding is very convenient as it works right out of the box without having to configure the remote Linux server.Nice. OS/X has come a long way the last few years. I recall a time when they pretended there was no "stinking" command line. :-)

Wrong forum. Your question has nothing to do with Oracle Database Installation. You might try the [url https://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=822] Oracle Linux forum..
When you post there it will be helpful if you will provide some detail on what you actually did and and the result. So far all you've really said is "Here is a picture of a Ford. Why can't I get my Chevy to run?"

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.

Helios
