Hi,
- Do you install Oracle VM Server (OVS) on an emulated environment like Oracle VM VirtualBox ? if yes so you can't do it.
- Don't forget to configure the Virtual Machines Network and also to add this network to this Virtual Machine.
I hope this can help you
Best Regards

  • Loading Oracle on linux HELP me please

    I using Red hat Kernel 2.4.21
    I completed all the pre step to run Oracle.
    I did su - oracle
    ./runInstaller
    I able to get the runInstaller to run,
    but the Installer said it must have Root privilegies,
    I am using /u01/app/oracle
    I checked
    the dir u01 is:
    drwxrwxr-x root root
    the dir app is:
    drwxrwxr-x oracle oinstall
    the dir oracle is:
    -rwx------- oracle oinstall

    Do the following command
    ls -altr ./runInstaller
    If as I suspect its root root
    then it may be that you have expanded / copied the files to your hard disc using your root privileges.
    If you have the original media you could run the runInstaller command from there or you could try issuing a chown oracle:oinstall runInstaller. This may not work either if all the other files relating to the Oracle Installer have the wrong permissions.

  • Newbie wants to install Oracle on Linux

    Hello there
    As a novice, I'm keen to get cracking on installing Oracle on
    Linux.
    As yet I have not purchased a copy of Linux. I intend running my
    setup on an IBM 560E Thinkpad with 80 Meg of RAM.
    I'm interested to hear opinions on which versions of Linux
    would result in the least hassle and / or most functionality etc.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi John,
    I'm also quite new to linux/"free OS". The first thing you will
    need to do is get a Linux distribution. I personnaly tried 3
    different ways : Slackware, Red Hat and FreeBSD (which is not
    linux, but is in some ways compatible with linux binaries).
    The best I can say is : If you are new to linux, take Red Hat as
    it is most simple and straight forward to install. Drawback : you
    need 450 MB disk space for installation as Red Hat install you
    everything you need (and perhaps more than that) to have a
    running workstation (including a running X Window GUI and lots
    of programs). And that is also the + point of Red Hat. To give
    you an idea, I felt Red Hat easier to install on my Compaq
    Presario than any Windows...
    On the other hand Slackware is far more flexible if you know what
    you are doing... (so was FreeBSD a year ago when I tested it).
    Finally, you mention that you will be installing on a laptop. I'm
    not sure that the best idea since laptops are not among the
    easyest to configure. Be sure to check www.linux.org (in the
    material compatibility section) where the could have some good
    tips to get you up and running.
    I haven't installed Oracle yet so I cannot say much on this.
    Cheers
    Paul

  • Yast installation problem on Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2

    Hi,
    I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2 on a new server (Intel 64 bit) with the downloads from oracle
    (Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc1.iso till Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc6.iso).
    Then I wanted to install Yast for administering my machine and downloaded yast_el5_x86_64.tar, again from Oracle. Running the Yast install routine it required the perl-Digest-SHA package. I downloaded that from Oracle ULN and installed it.
    Now, running the Yast install routine again, I get a bunch of warnings and errors about failed dependencies and NOKEY's.
    Here I copied a part of it:

  • Guide to installing XE and Apex on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 (64 bit)

    I have just been through a time consuming and frustrating process of installing Oracle XE 10gR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 x86-64 and I want to share my experience so that others can benefit from it and overcome the same problems more quickly.
    Prior to starting I had installed OEL 5.3 and been using it for a few days. The system I am using is a home built box with an AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition, 8 Gb RAM, Highpoint RR2680 RAID controller with 4 1TB disks in a RAID5 array and an additional 320Gb HDD storing the OS. I am using KDE3.5 on the desktop.
    The main problem I encountered was with SELinux. As I eventually intend to have this system exposed on the Internet I was reluctant to switch it off despite having read extensively about the issues surrounding it and Oracle. I had several failed attempts at the installation process before succumbing to the reality that SELinux and Oracle are not happy bedfellows. I decided to switch SELinux to permissive mode having followed the advice here.
    I found a very helpful guide to installing XE on Linux here as part of the installation of an application called Spacewalk. Note that you do not need to complete the whole Spacewalk installation, but just follow the instructions in the linked page.
    Before you start you need to ensure that the UID of your oracle user is less than 500. Mine was 500, so I used the following commands to fix this:
    usermod -u 250 oracle
    find / -uid 500 -exec chown oracle {} \;
    These change the oracle UID to 250 (but check that isn't already used first!) and the find command searches for all files that were owned by oracle (but weren't after the usermod cmd) and changes them back to oracle's ownership.
    Now follow the Spacewalk instructions until you reach the Server Setup section. Before you do this you need to make a couple of changes to the script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe. I found these changes in various places, such as [link(1)|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1345771&#1345771] and [link(2)|http://dbataj.blogspot.com/2008/08/lblibrarypath-is-not-set-on-startup.html].
    Note that in link(1) the oracle-xe-selinux packages installed have the same effect as the chcon command on the shared libraries so it isn't necessary to perform this step.
    Open /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in vi (or your favourite editor) and do the following:
    line 49: change /bin/su to /sbin/runuser
    after line 52 (export PATH...) add the following lines:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    There are further changes recommended to /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in [this post|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3201491&#3201491] but I haven't done them yet.
    Having done the above changes you can now configure Oracle XE by running /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure (as root!). As I have Apache Tomcat running on port 8080 I changed the default HTTP port to 8500 but kept the listener on its default port of 1521. Once the confuration script is done you will need to change the ports SELinux uses for Oracle as follows:
    semanage port -d -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 9000 - deletes port 9000, which is the SELinux default port for Apex
    semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 1521 - ensure that listener port is OK (assuming you used default of 1521, change accordingly if you didn't)
    semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 8500 - add the new Apex HTTP port to SELinux
    After all this running:
    semanage port -l | grep oracle
    should show you:
    oracle_port_t tcp 1521, 8500
    I ignored the TNSNAMES.ORA part of the Spacewalk instructions and proceeded with the 'Client setup on 64bit platform' and 'Configuring sqlplus' sections.
    For the latter I created a bash script which I have made available in the oracle user and my own user's home directories:
    cat > configure_oracle_10g_xe.sh
    ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
    PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    ORACLE_SID=XE
    export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    I did this as I intend to install other Oracle databases, e.g. 11gR2, on this box later so I didn't want to put the above in .bashrc.
    Having done the above you should be able to log into the database using sqlplus and the XE setup is complete.
    The upgrade of Apex 2.2 to Apex 3.2.1 was fairly painless so I won't go into much detail about it - just follow the instructions provided by Oracle.
    The only issue I had was right at the end of the process and is documented and answered in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=958611&tstart=0].
    That's it - I hope somebody will find this useful.

    On Oracle Metalink site, there are many documents which says that Oracle 32 bit software works on 32 bits OS and 64 bits software works on 64 bits OS. Official support is only in those combination....
    So there is no good way to help you in your case-XE is 32 bit application with hard codded compiled libraries which most of them would not work on 64 bit OS.
    Sorry

    Hope this helps

  • How to install and use the Gnome-DO application in oracle enterprise Linux

    My Oracle Enterprise linux is 5.3,
    I want to install and use the Gnome-Do(http://do.davebsd.com) in my box.
    Please help me regarding this.
    With Regards
    DSK

    According to Google, Gnome-Do has known issues about CPU bugs and hogs and the latest incarnation does not seem to be available for RHEL and clones. You should have more luck with Linux Desktop distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu. Or you could try to build from source using the info at: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/Installing_Do. Good luck - I wouldn't bother.

  • Oracle 11g on Oracle Unbreakable Linux

    OK,
    I have installed 11g on a new installation of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5. Everything seemed to go OK except the swap space was set to 2Gb and 11g wanted 3.4Gb.

  • How to manage oracle in linux

    Hi all experienced dba out there. I had been administering oracle on Windows. But now I am looking for a dba role where the OS environment is mostl likely to be LINUX. Any guys who have worked on linux environment, can you please tell me, is it really hard to manage oracle in linux as I mentioned I only have experience in windows. I have also heard there is GUI in linux which is similar to windows. Do you guys mostly use command or GUI of linux to manage your oracle at work. If command is mostly used, what are the most common commands to manage oracle. Thanks alot for your attention

    Manging Oracle on Linux is no more difficult than managing Oracle on Windows.
    Managing Linux is about the same difficulty as managing Windows. Both require a degree of understanding of the environment. Once you are comfortable with the environment and the terminology / language used, you should have no big problems.
    I think the biggest challenges in Linux are
    - a different set of editors than you have used
    - a lot more time in the command line and writing batch scripts
    - Microsoft has many of the nix command capabilities but with enough changes (cp -> copy) to be confusing (remember, nix came first <g>)
    - the idea of 'C:, D:' drives is totally gone ... in *nix there is no 'drive', it's all just 'files'
    There are several GUI utilities to help 'manage' Linux. These may not be very useful when working with Oracle environment as they tend to relate to a file-oriented (or fire server) computing environment, not a database environment. However, you might want to search the web for 'WebMin' as a possibility.
    I encourage you get a good basic reference. One I like, although dated, is Essential System Administration

  • Oracle on Linux OEL Cluster

    Dear all,

    Thanks.

    well.....make your choices and do it.
    there are several cluster solutions for linux. do you really want a forum to be the architect of your cluster? you have made decisions (o/s cluster instead of RAC) what are the reasons?

  • INFORMIX and ORACLE on LINUX

    Hello Stephen,
    some time ago we talked about Forte for LINUX. Now I think it will need
    not a long time that Forte is available on LINUX.
    INFORMIX and ORACLE has officially announced that they offer their
    Database on LINUX. Now it is only a question of time, that Forte
    got a business-case from big Firms which want to see Forte on LINUX.
    In GERMANY I know that Mercedes use LINUX for car-development and
    Sixt-Budget use LINUX for their car-rental (worldwide).
    I think, if Forte is availaible for LINUX than a big beng goes through
    the IT-Market. Many firms just wait for a OO-orientated 4GL-Development
    environment to distribute their business-processes to many little
    servers which are cheap and powerfull. It is than a question of
    less money to use a big machine or just 10 or 20 LINUX servers (which are
    cheaper and faster).
    Sorry for my enthusiasm on this mailing list, but i'am
    so happy to hear from this and want's to cry it out all over the world :-)))))

    not a supported platform at this time, and we cannot discuss unannounced
    products. (or some such thing). Privately, talking to some of the Forte
    people at FORUM this year, I was distinctly left with the impression that
    it will be a cold day in hell before such a port is done.

    got a business-case from big Firms which want to see Forte on LINUX.Well, I haven't talked to our Oracle sales rep, but I did go to their web
    site and I couldn't find anywhere where you could download it, or much more
    than a "how great it is" statement. Based upon my prior dealings with
    Oracle, and some well documented cases, I would be surprised if you could
    get it today - delivered and working, that is.
    Informix, on the other hand, I just downloaded (not installed yet, but at
    least I have in my hot little paws something that says it will be Informix
    on Linux).
    One of the problems that Forte faces in the marketplace is the cost of the
    product. Yes, it does a lot (personally, I'm quite a fan). But, some IT
    shops - especially the ones that have capable people on staff - are
    beginning to look at the distributed object characteristics of Java and
    asking "Why can't I do what I want with Java RMI, etc.?" When I talked to a
    Forte salesman at FORUM, his only response was "Well, those really aren't
    Forte customers anyway!" As Java adds things like transactional objects,
    transparent database access (yup! persistent objects in a relational
    database - without all the coding - and with performance too!), JavaSpaces,
    Jini, etc. I think it's a "head in the sand" approach for Forte to ignore
    this. To me, Java presents some very compelling features. And, according to
    some friends I have inside of Sun, basically all of the brightest people in
    Sun have all migrated over to doing the Java stuff, so it's only likely to
    get better. People like Rick Cattel (databases) and Jim Waldo (distributed
    object systems) who have been giving this stuff lots of thought for
    years!! That's why it's so well thought out when you see it for the first
    time.
    The only glaring omission from it seems to be a generic event queue
    mechanism. Fortunately, given the other stuff Java has to offer (RMI, event
    classes, etc.) you can build a very good one in about a man week. In fact,
    Java has one, they just didn't take a "high" enough superclass - they
    limited it to AWT events. If they had made it all events, you wouldn't even
    have to build that.
    Now, don't get me wrong... Forte is planning to incorporate lots of really
    cool Java stuff in their next release (preannounced at FORUM). But to me,
    that's not the issue on a larger scale. The real issue is this: are
    environments which are cheaper incorporating a lot of what Forte does - and
    the answer is Yes! Incidentally, there is a version of the Java environment
    being developed for Linux under the GNU license, for the express purpose of
    making it open and keeping it free (and open). Someone recently told me
    that it is now available, but I haven't confirmed that yet.
    In GERMANY I know that Mercedes use LINUX for car-development and
    Sixt-Budget use LINUX for their car-rental (worldwide).My perception is that the Europeans are more progressive and cooperative
    than us in the states. Most of the really good Linux help I've gotten on
    the net has been form Europe (including a wonderful sendmail
    site/expert). :-)
    I think, if Forte is availaible for LINUX than a big beng goes through
    the IT-Market. Many firms just wait for a OO-orientated 4GL-Development
    environment to distribute their business-processes to many little
    servers which are cheap and powerfull. It is than a question of
    less money to use a big machine or just 10 or 20 LINUX servers (which are
    cheaper and faster).Well, as I was indicating above, people who are cost conscious might be
    searching for lower cost alternatives to Forte itself.
    Sorry for my enthusiasm on this mailing list, but i'am
    so happy to hear from this and want's to cry it out all over the world:-)))))
    <soapbox>
    So, who says that all reactions have to be between 4 & 6 (5 being
    neutral)!! Don't apologize. If you're excited - be excited! That's what
    life is all about.

    Say that you will use perl's DBI interface and DBD::Oracle, then
    you will still need to install Oracle on your linux box for the
    seek of compiling and installing DBD::Oracle on linux.
    Once you have DBI and DBD::Oracle installed, you may access any
    other oracle installations whethere local or remote.
    I see this as the simplest way, but I may well be wrong.

  • -- Oracle Unbreakable Linux hangs during installation  --

    Hi
    I am trying to install the new Oracle Unbreakable Linux on a 2 CPU Intel Pentium 4 64 bits server. During the first CD installation it hangs just after you select if you want to install using the graphical mode or the character base mode (it hangs in both modes).The point where it fails is
    mounting /tmp as ramfs....... done
    running install...
    running /sbin/loader
    Has anybody experience the same behavior or do you have any suggestions?
    This error does not happen when I try to install either SUSE 9 or 10 nor Red Hat 3 or 4,
    so I do not think is the hardware.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Ok. New update. I had rejiggered my desktop hard-drives and the DVD drive and in the process had not set the proper Master / Slave settings on the DVD drive. After I fixed that, it did start installing.
    I selected the Server configuration and later selected the "Install everything" option. It failed after about 30 minutes while installing the snmp package. It said that it was a serious error due to media error or no disk space. Both of which seemed improbable because the media test resulted fine and I had 160 GB of Hard disk space !. I had to abandon ( well no choice actually ) and restart. This time I chose the Workstation configuration and just added the scientific packages. This time it installed ok, but, new problem.
    I do not see ANY applications at all in the Applications drop down menu. Not even as root.
    Hmmm. I would hate to start digging around in gnome. It is a distraction from what I really intend to do. To start developing applications on 10g on Linux ! Damn.
    Any advise ?

    You can get pre-tested, validated architectures along with documented best practices from "Oracle Validated Configurations" (http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/validated-configurations/index.html).
    I hope it is help for you.
