Great. The only other setup I would add is if your machine's wired ethernet is ever disconnected, the default setup for OpenSuse 10.2 is to have the interface up when the cable is plugged. In that case, you cannot ping your host if you use static IP address for wired connection and DHCP for wireless. Open YaST, Network Devices. Highlight the wired interface, and select Edit. Then on the General Tab, change the Device Activation from On Cable Connection to At Boot Time.

Oracle XE on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine?

hi,
does oracle's licensing for 11g express edition prohibit running XE databases on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine? if not, does the machine have to be "hard partitioned" per oracle specifications (link below) to make it legal?
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/partitioning-070609.pdf
i found a similar question regarding 10g express edition in the forum (link below), but it doesn't seem like the question was ever definitively answered.
Oracle XE on multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine?
thanks

I thought until I just checked that this was a clear cut no in that it specifies 'a single server'. Now I'm not sure as 'server' is an amibuous term. I at least know that as soon as you start giving developers access to theor own XE instance for dev/testing that there are many VM environments where you can't really know what physical macine your VM is running on to actually be able to tell if you had multiple XE instances running on a single 'Physical' server. I'm not sure the question has been answered by Oracle though.

Oracle Developers Over the world

Hi,
How many oracle developers over the world using oracle form?

Well here is one measure - look at the OTN forms and compare the number of active threads or posts - last time I looked Forms was the 5th most active forum....

Oracle RAC Interconnect, PowerVM VLANs, and the Limit of 20

Hello,
Our company has a requirement to build a multitude of Oracle RAC clusters on AIX using Power VM on 770s and 795 hardware.
We presently have 802.1q trunking configured on our Virtual I/O Servers, and have currently consumed 12 of 20 allowed VLANs for a virtual ethernet adapter. We have read the Oracle RAC FAQ on Oracle Metalink and it seems to otherwise discourage the use of sharing these interconnect VLANs between different clusters. This puts us in a scalability bind; IBM limits VLANs to 20 and Oracle says there is a one-to-one relationship between VLANs and subnets and RAC clusters. We must assume we have a fixed number of network interfaces available and that we absolutely have to leverage virtualized network hardware in order to build these environments. "add more network adapters to VIO" isn't an acceptable solution for us.
Does anyone know if Oracle can afford any flexibility which would allow us to host multiple Oracle RAC interconnects on the same 802.1q trunk VLAN? We will independently guarantee the bandwidth, latency, and redundancy requirements are met for proper Oracle RAC performance, however we don't want a design "flaw" to cause us supportability issues in the future.
We'd like it very much if we could have a bunch of two-node clusters all sharing the same private interconnect. For example:
Cluster 1, node 1: 192.168.16.2 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 16
Cluster 1, node 2: 192.168.16.3 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 16
Cluster 2, node 1: 192.168.16.4 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 16
Cluster 2, node 2: 192.168.16.5 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 16
Cluster 3, node 1: 192.168.16.6 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 16
Cluster 3, node 2: 192.168.16.7 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 16
Cluster 4, node 1: 192.168.16.8 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 16
Cluster 4, node 2: 192.168.16.9 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 16
etc.
Whereas the concern is that Oracle Corp will only support us if we do this:
Cluster 1, node 1: 192.168.16.2 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 16
Cluster 1, node 2: 192.168.16.3 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 16
Cluster 2, node 1: 192.168.17.2 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 17
Cluster 2, node 2: 192.168.17.3 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 17
Cluster 3, node 1: 192.168.18.2 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 18
Cluster 3, node 2: 192.168.18.3 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 18
Cluster 4, node 1: 192.168.19.2 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 19
Cluster 4, node 2: 192.168.19.3 / 255.255.255.0 / VLAN 19
Which eats one VLAN per RAC cluster.

Thank you for your answer!!
I think I roughly understand the argument behind a 2-node RAC and a 3-node or greater RAC. We, unfortunately, were provided with two physical pieces of hardware to virtualize to support production (and two more to support non-production) and as a result we really have no place to host a third RAC node without placing it within the same "failure domain" (I hate that term) as one of the other nodes.
My role is primarily as a system engineer, and, generally speaking, our main goals are eliminating single points of failure. We may be misusing 2-node RACs to eliminate single points of failure since it seems to violate the real intentions behind RAC, which is used more appropriately to scale wide to many nodes. Unfortunately, we've scaled out to only two nodes, and opted to scale these two nodes up, making them huge with many CPUs and lots of memory.
Other options, notably the active-passive failover cluster we have in HACMP or PowerHA on the AIX / IBM Power platform is unattractive as the standby node drives no resources yet must consume CPU and memory resources so that it is prepared for a failover of the primary node. We use HACMP / PowerHA with Oracle and it works nice, however Oracle RAC, even in a two-node configuration, drives load on both nodes unlike with an active-passive clustering technology.
All that aside, I am posing the question to both IBM, our Oracle DBAs (whom will ask Oracle Support). Typically the answers we get vary widely depending on the experience and skill level of the support personnel we get on both the Oracle and IBM sides... so on a suggestion from a colleague (Hi Kevin!) I posted here. I'm concerned that the answer from Oracle Support will unthinkingly be "you can't do that, my script says to tell you the absolute most rigid interpretation of the support document" while all the time the same document talks of the use of NFS and/or iSCSI storage eye roll
We have a massive deployment of Oracle EBS and honestly the interconnect doesn't even touch 100mbit speeds even though the configuration has been checked multiple times by Oracle and IBM and with the knowledge that Oracle EBS is supposed to heavily leverage RAC. I haven't met a single person who doesn't look at our environment and suggest jumbo frames. It's a joke at this point... comments like "OMG YOU DON'T HAVE JUMBO FRAMES" and/or "OMG YOU'RE NOT USING INFINIBAND WHATTA NOOB" are commonplace when new DBAs are hired. I maintain that the utilization numbers don't support this.
I can tell you that we have 8Gb fiber channel storage and 10Gb network connectivity. I would probably assume that there were a bottleneck in the storage infrastructure first. But alas, I digress.
Mainly I'm looking for a real-world answer to this question. Aside from violating every last recommendation and making oracle support folk gently weep at the suggestion, are there any issues with sharing interconnects between RAC environments that will prevent it's functionality and/or reduce it's stability?
We have rapid spanning tree configured, as far as I know, and our network folks have tuned the timers razor thin. We have Nexus 5k and Nexus 7k network infrastructure. The typical issues you'd fine with standard spanning tree really don't affect us because our network people are just that damn good.

I have to tell the world . . .

THIS POST WAS ACTUALLY TAKEN FROM MY BLOG. <Edited by Moderator>
"I have something to tell you."
That was the phrase I uttered to my wonderful husband, when I got home from work the other day. But, before I tell you why, let me back up.
You see, for years, I've been a devoted Windows, PC user. They just made sense. I knew where to find everything on them. They were logical. I knew that if I went into the Program Files folder, I would find my programs. They were straight-forward, no nonsense machines. And, heck, the whole world uses them!
I would make fun of Mac users, by calling it "Crapintosh" or "Poopintosh", and saying highly intelligent things like, "Mac is for dummies!"
Now, TP has always been a devoted Mac follower. He's wanted me to come to "the dark side" for years, but I've stayed true to PCs. I never faltered . . . ever. I think it's even been a matter of intense prayer and fasting for my husband.
Several months ago (maybe it's even been a year), my darling husband was given a Mac desktop computer. We then were faced with a question . . . what do we do with our PC desktop? Even though I was a devoted PC user, I couldn't justify having two desktop computers, so I vowed that we would have to get rid of one of them. Seeing that our new (used) Mac was a gift, we couldn't very well get rid of that one, so I swallowed my pride and we sold our PC.
Now granted, I have been using a Mac at work for several years, so it wasn't like I had to get use to the Mac we had at home. I was quite proficient and comfortable on both platforms--Windows or Mac. I just liked PCs better—and still did after we converted everything over to our home Mac. If there's one thing I am, it's loyal.
During this whole time, my poor old PowerMac G4 at work was starting on it's own painful journey to Mac heaven. It was on a fast downward spiral, and would soon die. I got word a couple of weeks ago that a new iMac had been ordered for me, and I have to admit that I wasn't thrilled. The thought of having to transfer all of my files over to a new computer was daunting. What if all my e-mail disappeared? What if all my author videos didn't make it? I was not looking forward to the arrival of my new machine . . . not one bit.
That fated day finally arrived on Wednesday, but I didn't have the opportunity to mess with it until yesterday. Perhaps I was avoiding the hassle and trouble that I thought was in store. As I connected the firewire between my old Mac and new Mac, I could feel myself growing more and more tense. On the new machine, I went through the initial steps of confirming that I wanted my computer's primary language to be English . . . blah, blah, blah.
But, then . . . something wonderful happened! I mean, it was truly miraculous! A screen appeared that asked a simple, beautiful question: "Would you like to transfer your Old Mac to your New Mac?" I gasped. No, I thought, this has to be a joke. It can't be this easy. But, I threw caution to the wind and hit "Yes."
To my shock and amazement, the computer transfered EVERYTHING—e-mail, documents, settings, user preferences—EVERYTHING on it's own . . . all I did was hit "OK". Then I went to lunch, while it went to work! That's it! I came back, and it was done! Everything that was precious to me got transfered to my new computer with the click of a button. I'm still shocked, today!
When I got home yesterday, TP greeted me at the door. As I took off my coat and shoes, I sheepishly looked at him and said, "I have something to tell you. I think I've become a Mac fan."
The look of shock and joy on his face is now burned into my memory. He fell to his knees and cried, "Thank you, God!" And then he asked, "So, wait, let me get this straight . . . if we were to get a brand new computer in a couple of years, you're telling me you would want a Mac and NOT a PC?"
My reply was a quiet, "Yes."
I've seen the error of my ways. I've seen the light! It's like the blinders have fallen off my eyes, and I'm seeing clearly for the first time. The world looks a bit different to me, now, and I couldn't rest until I had shared my newfound devotion with the world.
Mac is better. What else can I say? It's been a long journey, but I finally got there.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Great! thanks for sharing that with us.

P.S. for your future reference, your new iMac is probably an "Intel iMac" rather than an "iMac G5", Apple stopped selling iMac G5s in Jan 2006.

Visting Peru,Does the World Travel Adapter Kit work there/need converter??

I'm planning to go to Peru for the summer, I want to take my macbook and I'm also thinking of buying an ipod 30g video. I know the voltage is 220, but the thing is this my first time I'll be travelling with my macbook being that it cost me soo much money.
Will the World Travel Adapter Kit work there and Do I need to buy a converter?? Because on the packaging it says all the countries that it'll work in and there's no mention of South America and I've asked at the Apple Store and they basically said "it should" but I just want to be certain. Do I need to get anything else? I don't plan to go online over there so , Do I need to buy a Travel Surge Protector??
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.2)

If you have an iPod power supply (AC adapter) these are also automatically
switching or auto-detecting, so all you'd need is the little end part from the
world travel kit. If the design of the iPod AC Adapter is like the ones I've
seen (standard Apple unit) which looks like the MacBook's, you can take the
same adapter piece and use it in place of the other adapter's AC - in
part. The little end part of the adapter (which you can take off to put on
the long AC - in power cord, instead of the prong/plug on adapter part)
comes off when proper effort is applied to it. It is not an easy to come off
item, but you can carefully slide/push the piece to get it off.
[There are third-party chargers for iPods but they may not be
auto-switching or support both 110/220 volts. You can charge
an iPod from the USB cable, but it would then be using the
computer's power. If the portable is fully charged and you
have access to an AC power source, you could easily charge
an iPod from the computer without discharging the MacBook.]
If you have the long AC power cord that goes with the MacBook's AC adapter,
you can see how the modular plug usually shipped on the power adapter is
on the inside; this may help in understanding how it comes off. The world
power adapter kit (from Apple) has matching parts to utilize this feature.
I use a long power cord all the time on my iBook's power adapter; and
the part is identical in how it comes off, as the iPod's standard (cube)
AC power adapter. If nothing else and you are in a travel store, such as
one would find in a larger airport, ask about those single power plugs
that are used for electronics which auto-detect and switch; these are
not real "power converters" since they only need to physically match
the power utility's shape, not change the power from 110/220 or back.
They are the most basic adapters because do not change the electricity,
your Apple product will truly do the adapting to the regional AC power.
[If the end of the iPod adapter is not like that of your MacBook's
(they are like the PowerBook/iBookG4 most exactly) you may
need to check the World kit from Apple as it would likely have
the correct parts; should they have a subtle difference in fit.]
(With few exceptions. There are some products that require a regional
power supply; those are listed in the Apple Support power adapter page.)
•Apple authorized resellers have Apple iPod chargers; so
a visit to them may be necessary to get the correct one
for your iPod. Be sure to look or ask about traveling and
if the unit you find is capable of auto-detecting and running
on 110 and 220 with only a prong adapter kit.

�Unable to create the virtual machine. The error was -4�

I have a VS2003 C# application, which call JACE (a JNI wrapper) through C++ mixed mode to use JAVA object�s functions.
Because the natural of our JAVA program it must be able to reach maximum heap size of 512MB, we set it during the startup of JVM by using �-Xmx512M� parameter.
It worked well with a small PC (Dell Optiplex GX750 and Shuttle Xpc ) with only 512MB physical memory. We have about 50 machines running the application in the production.
Recently, one of our customers installs the application to a larger PC ( Shuttle Xpc with different model), which has 1 GB of physical memory. The application started throw exception from JVM. The error message is �Unable to create the virtual machine. The error was -4�. I checked with JNI return code and found that -4 mean �not enough memory�.
I did some experiment by running the application with 2GB PC, 1 GB PC, 1GB laptop, 512MB PC. I don�t found relationship between how much �maximum heap size� can be assigned and how much �physical memory� is available (reading from task manager). The 2GB machine can take only 128MB of �maximum heap size� However, 1GB machine can take up to 300MB of �maximum heap size�.
I also use program like ImageJ (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/) to test maximum heap size for it. I found that ImageJ can take 512MB maximum heap size without problem. It can even take 1024MB of maximum heap size.
I have created a small program to duplicate this problem. Although it use exact the same code to start JVM up, it can go up to 650MB heap size for both 2GB and 1GB PC.
This is puzzling. Does anyone know what are factors determine how much �maximum heap size� can be set for JVM from JNI?
Software used
Windows XP SP2
Visual studio.net 2003 SP1 (the problem also occurred without SP1)
.NET Framework 1.1 SP1
JACE 1.1rc1_05
JRE 1.5.07 (also tested with JRE 1.5.09 and 1.6.0 beta)

Do you resolve the problem? If so what was the fix?
I have been getting the Java Virtual Machine Launcher error message Could not create the virtual machine when attempting to run an Oracle application that uses JNLP via a browser. Even clicking on componets such as javaw.exe produces the error message. In conjunction with receiving the error message, the application that I am working with will not launch.
I had JRE 5u10 and J2RE 1.4.2u13 installed and thought that installing JDK 5u17 may resolve the issue. I removed JRE 5u10 and J2RE 1.4.2u13 and installed JDK 5u17 (and the included JRE 5u17.) The error message was still there.
I have unistalled (via Add/Remove programs) and reinstalled (via both Win off-line and on-line) JDK 5u17 and JRE 5u17 many times.
During the uninstalls I have received a Java Web Start 1.5.0_17 bad installation error invoking JVM error message.
I have restarted the machine also.
There are some remains of J2RE 1.4.2u13 still on the machine even after the 1.4.2u13 uninstall. The Java\j2re1.4.2_13\lib folder remains.
I am running Win XP SP2 and IE6 SP2.
Note: I cannot use Java 6 since the application that I am working with is Java 5 based.

Oracle 11g in Virtual Machine

Hi Gurus,
I would like to gather input from you, what is the pro and con, advantages and disadvantages for putting Oracle 11g in Virtual Machine (VMWare, Oracle VM, Virtual Box, etc.)
and will there be any licensing issue with this.
Currently we have CPU Based license for our Production and Named User license for the Dev.
thanks in advance for your time.
Lie

If you put Oracle db in VMWare then you have a non-certified configuration, and you could be alone (I mean without Oracle support) if you have a problem than Oracle support cannot reproduce in a certified configuration. I would avoid a non-certified configuration for a production environment.
So, two choices :
* go for Oracle VM
* go without VM at all

Now the Virtual IP issue,
out of the 8 servers, 1 is given role of master, utility and vm server and the rest 7 are utility and vm servers.
servers have 8 nics in all. i have grouped them in 4 (LACP). 1 grp for network and other for Data.
Also I have given a virtual IP to the pool, in case the master fails, other server takes over the role of master server..
when i checked rebooting the master server, a diff server from the pool took over as the master server. the Virtual IP gave RTOs.
All my servers became unreachable.
kindly help.

No. The VM manager is run as a seprate box with 4G RAM..

Oracle Support for Virtual Sever

Is it supported to run Oracle databases on Linux virtual servers without using OVM. I have a Linux server(RHEL) which has been virtualized to 3 hosts using strictly virt-install . If I have Oracle issues on those virtual servers will Oracle support this ( we do have support license for Oracle) eventhough we didn't use OVM to create and maintain the virtual hosts.

Hi,
the policy should be the same as with VMWare or any other Virtualisation product on x86 (except Oracle VM and Solaris Containers). It is supported:

But not certified (as with Oracle VM):

Oracle database on virtual machine without a license

Hi,
Someone told me earlier that you can install Oracle on a virtual machine without buying a license. Do you know an internet link that could confirm this.
Thanks.

What about preconfigured virtual machines Oracle distributes? Do you have to have a license for them as well? I'm pretty sure you do, it would say in big letters if you didn't need a license...
I not can you alter the installations by building additional instances?Yes, you can add instances (except to an XE database) for testing but you asked about licensing a server...
