Oracle on LINUX Support question

Hello Gurus,
I’ve heard the rumor that Oracle will require all systems to be at the same level of support. For example, I might want to have engineering systems on network support, with enterprise systems on a mix of basic and premier support. Is this possible?
Regards
VENU

VENU,
When you purchase Premier Support, all systems must be licensed for Premier Support. See also the Support Policies document (from linux.oracle.com):

Oracle Webgate Linux Install Question

Hello
When trying to install the 10.1.4.3 webgate on RHEL 6, the install starts then says loading the Java Virtual machine then just stops. There is no log or other trace files to see what is going on, it just stops. Has anyone else had this problems? Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick,
Can you specify for which web server you are installing Webgate in Linux??
Did you verified that the required GCC Libraries are installed in the Linux Servers.
OAM WebGates are compiled with and linked to the following GCC runtime libraries, which must be present on any Linux or Solaris computer hosting 10.1.4.3 WebGates:
Ø Either shared libstdc++.so.5
Ø Or shared libstdc++.so.6
Ø And libgcc_s.so.1
And also verify that the Linux Operating System is 32-bit or 64-bit and based on this JAVA JDK should be same as OS type.
And also verify, that particularly before installing the Webgate 32-bit or 64-bit based on the Webserver type.
Hope this helps.

Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?

Dear,
Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux Kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?
If supported, please point to the download link.
We require this in order to plan for the OEL 5.5 kernel upgrade to ULK and to connect SUN SAN storage array 6180.
Thanks,
...basha

From what I can gather you will need to compile the driver from source in order to use the RDAC driver with the UEK kernel. Chances are that it won't compile properly under the UEK kernel, which is more up to date than the RHEL kernel.
You will have to start the system from the supplied original RHEL kernel in order to use the binary IBM RDAC driver distribution. The following is available: http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds4000.aspx and http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds3000.aspx
You may however be able to use Multipath, which is build in also in the UEK kernel. To get the current supported configurations for IBM System Storage it is best to use the interoperability matrices located at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/product/interop.html. You can use the link to the "System Storage Interoperation Center (SSIC)" to query your specific configuration (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/ssic/interoperability.wss)

Oracle Linux support subscription. for Oracle employees

I am using RHEL 5 but could not find wireshark trace and I beleive that you need to have Oracle Linux support subscription to access yum repositories. How an Oracle employee can update the software?

Here is a previous link that could be interesting to you:
Re: Employee Access to ULN or Public Yum?
You can also install wireshark and dependend packages using oracle public yum by following the instructions on
http://public-yum.oracle.com/
# yum install wireshark
# yum install wireshark-gnome

Question regarding Oracle and Linux on VMware

Hello,
I carefuly read the paper on Oracle and Linux on Your Own VMware and I'm missing a point.
The paper explains how to start a cluster on a single host in a single Linux VM on VMware.
So, there are 2 instances of Oracle 10g DB on the same Linux VM inside VMware. What does allow that?
Is it possible to run 2 instances on any (single) Linux box, or is VMware required? If VMware is not required, why this complication in that paper? If VMware is required, what does it bring that make running 2 cluster instances on the same host possible?
Many thanks for your help.

I have an oracle database (10.2) and I have a query that needs to compare data on the Oracle database to data on a MS SQL server DB. I'm using a DB Link between the two databases.
How would I compare the date fields?
I have a table that has a date as one of the fields and I need to restrict the records where the date is equal to the date on SQL, however the formats are different:
My query is as follows:
SELECT mkt_css_name,
pmv_rqst_corp_id,
pmv_rqst_source,
'G',
pmv_css_acct_no,
eq.start_date
FROM power_move@cmdt,

WHERE eq.css_account_number = pmv_css_acct_no
AND eq.requestor_type = 'P'
AND eq.status IN ('A','P','G','S')
AND eq.marketer_id = mkt_seq_no
AND pmv_service_type IN ('G','D')
And Pmv_Gas_Mktr_No = Eq.Marketer_Id
AND pmv_received_timestamp= eq.enroll_date ;
The problem is that the date is stored in Oracle in the following format: DD-MON-YYYY and in SQL as 'YYYY-DD-MM HH:MI:SSSSSS'
for example: Data in Oracle would be 27-JAN-2012 and in SQL as 2012-01-27 00:00:00.000
I get an error when I compile.
How do you reconcile the formats when the syntax is different between databases?
Thanks, SeanDATE datatypes do NOT have any "format"
DATE datatype is stored in internal binary notation.
use TO_CHAR to display, present & compare the DATE datatypes

Productive Oracle On Linux

We are in the process to select a database server for our research data (40 GB) we have two options Linux or Solaris. I would like to know how many people are around using Linux in an productive environment of this size or larger? Are you happy?
Also I read that disc performance might be a problem. Does anybody have expierience with RAIDs (eg. those available from DELL)?

How to uninstall/remove 11g database on (OEL)Oracle Enterprise Linux 6?

Hi there,
I was facing problem during 11g installation & i'm trying to reinstall 11g database again, but at step8 of 13, it show the error [INS-32021] Insufficient disk space on this volume for the selected Oracle home. i guess because of the previous database files still exist, anyone can give some links or solution ?
Thank you in advanced.
Edited by: 907267 on 11-Jan-2012 00:08

I'm running both 11g as well as 10g on Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 Update 1 without any problem.
Yes I know that it isn't supported but it works.
To your question:
a. is it the ORACLE_HOME it complains about or is it temp? Very often temp fills up during an installation and is not freed after the installation ends.
b. for a cleanup of the existing installation you should remove OraInventory and the files in /etc (like oratab, oraInst.loc).
BTW: I have my own blog (streetkiter.wordpress.com) where I wrote a post how to install 11g and 10g (!) RAC on Oracle Linux 6.

To reinforce what was mentioned in the first response...
There is no "urgent" in these forums and your statement that everyone must jump to your request just because you say so is rude.
You have been a viewer of these user-to-user OTN forums for more than a year. That is far long enough to know better.
For the future, whenever you have a critical business need for information, you will need to use your support credentials and log a SR ro Oracle Technical Support. Be prepared each time to prove to them that such a need exists.

What is Oracle Enterprise Linux exactly?

Hello Community,
I am very fond of knowing what is OEL actually? What I know is:
1. The kernel which is compatible to RHEL and modified by Oracle own.
2. The required packages which are required by Oracle products are preinstalled in OEL.
3. All the necessary updates and fixes are provided by Oracle rather than RHEL.
Please let me know if above all are true and also share other facts or OEL.
Another fact which I doubtfully know is, Oracle Linux (depending on licensing) contains Oracle Database software and all the prerequisites inside it..
Please share your thoughts and correct me if I am wrong.
Regards,
A.S

Unbreakable Linux Support

Hi All,
Does anyone know if we (will) officially support Unbreakable Linux (based on RedHat but we will release our own patches) for SOA 10.1.3.1? I have a customer who wants a "one stop shop" for support.
Thanks,

Oracle on Linux Development Team

Oracle Linux on Development Team
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does such a beast exist?
Why is it that the Oracle on Linux Development team almost never
respond to questions in this forum?
Their presence is underwhelming...
Compare this 'presence' to say the Oracle Developer Team
(Developer Forum).. who answer a huge proportion of the
postings.. And yet this is one of the more active forums..
Responses from Oracle would be greatly appreciated.. besides they
would be a huge marketing coup for Oracle as developers tend to
be more loyal if they feel that their grievances/complaints/wish
lists are heard and not just falling on deaf ears..

Installation problem oracle 11g R2 on oracle enterprise linux 5 update 5

How to configure Oracle National Language Support for Hindi

Hello
I am Working on one library project and right now it is in foxpro.
it is working in local(hindi) language using c-dec software.Now i want to run this project using oracle national
language support.i have done lots of rnd on that but till could not get success.what's wrong with that?
Following the step i am applied for that
1 I have create the database using in8iscii character set. Because In8iscii support the Hindi Language.
2 Set the variable NLS_LANG = hindi_india.in8iscii in environment. I am using the Windows 2000 OS because
it supports the Hindi font(Mangal).
3 I am using the Oracle Developer as front end so using mangal font in front end i am able to display data
in Hindi format that's why i am selected Windows 2000 os.
4 I have done the special setting in Windows 2000 for Hindi.it is in controlpanel-regional setting-click the indic option
for india and in input locals set keyboard layout as Hindi also.
5 I also changed the Init.ora file and add the NLS_LANGUAGE = Hindi
nls_territory = india. now, I opens the database using this Init.ora file.
6 But It can't display the data in Hindi format.I could not able to display the data in Front End also.
So,pls help me in Oracle and also guide me in Linux platform also.
null

Hi Nimit,
I have tried inserting Hindi/Marathi into an Oracle database (I have tried versions 8.0.6 and 8.1.7).
I created the database using UTF8 character set. The NLS_LANG was set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. Inserts into the database were via iSQL*Plus or import. For querying I used OCI and Pro*C. The data for my app is being served up as XML. I have not tried Developer. The DB platforms have been both HPUX and Win2K, while the client platform has been Win2K/IE5.5 SP2. I have been using Code2000 as the font.
Did you manage to view the stored data using the export utility ?
Also, you can try using yudit to edit unicode files on Linux.

Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 Installation Fails during Disk Partitioning

Hi,
I've tried to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 by creating a Virtual Machine using Oracle VM Virtual Box in my laptop with Window XP host OS (NTFS filesystem), by following the below steps.
1) Installed Oracle VM Virtual Box
2) Created a new Virtual machine using a virtual box by specifying the two .iso images i.e OracleLinux-R6-U1-Server-i386-dvd.iso and boot.iso as the boot device and by specifying the following Disk files (.vdi) as follows.
2.1) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Root_Disk_1.vdi - For the / (i.e Root) partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
2.2) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Swap_Disk_1.vdi - For the swap partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - swap
2.3) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_User_Disk_1.vdi - For the /usr partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 20 GB - ext4
2.4) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Home_Disk_1.vdi - For the /home partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
But while installing OEL 6.1 after specifying the partitions, the installer get hung and throws an error as bug while creating the ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda1.
I tried to specify the default 8 GB for all the above four partitions, the installer successfully continues without any issues. But if i specify any partition more than 8 GB, it fails.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem by creating the above specified partitions with the above size ? Why does it fail if i specify any size more than 8 GB ?
Thanks
Harish

8 GB is a common limit for systems were the boot loader or system BIOS imposes an addressable space limit for the boot partition. In such situations, the system boot partition has to fit within the first 8 GB physical boundary of the harddrive.
Your setup seems a bit unusual. Why do you create separate disks for each Linux partition?
Normally the Linux installer creates necessary partitions on the disk, including a /boot partition that is usually only 100 MB in size.
What are you doing with boot.iso? You should be able to start the system from the main installation DVD or .iso image. You might also want to install x86_64 Linux, unless your hardware is really very old and does not support the 64-bit extension. You can run 32-bit software on a n 64-bit OS, but not the other way around and you will limit your software to 32-bit only.
