Oracle's Linux direction

I'm interested in where Oracle's resources are being committed as it relates to Linux.
Is Oracle 9i supported on Linux? If so, which Linux? Finally, which chip architectures does Oracle support on Linux (SPARC, Intel, PPC)?

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Vicente Filho ([email protected]):

Its not Oracle - its DB/2!

Oracle 9i linux install

I'm having problems installing disk 2 of oracle 9ias linux edition is thier anyone else having this same problem?

Nop,
It should runs okay.
It could become a problem if you run it directly from file manager.
What do you mean by problem, is it mean that you cannot change CD?
I think you should try to run in through terminal in KDE Window and when the installer ask for second CD, you should change your current directory and eject the CDROM

I want to run linux directly on ultraSPARC server t4.

I've been used to linux for a long time now and now i need to work with the UltraSPARC t4 server which has solaris on it. So, i am thinking of maybe removing Solaris and running linux directly on the server. But I'm really curious to know about the virtualization technologies that would be available if i run linux directly on the t4 server. And which of them serves better compared with the VM Server for SPARC and containers ? Any help will be appreciated..

While there are versions of Linux for SPARC available, currently none are "qualified" by Oracle. You are certainly free to run any OS that you wish, but running an unqualifed/unsupported OS may prevent us from giving you service in the event you have any issues.
Currently, the Sun System Handbook lists the following OS's as Qualified/Supported.
Oracle Solaris 11
Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 Update 10 (U10) - pre-installed
Oracle Solaris 10 09/10 (U9) plus Oracle Solaris 10 08/11 SPARC Patch Bundle *
Oracle Solaris 10 10/09 (U8) plus Oracle Solaris 10 08/11 SPARC Patch Bundle *
Oracle VM Server for SPARC 2.1
Electronic Prognostics 1.2
Oracle Solaris ZFS
Your best best will probably be to run either Oracle VM or Solaris as your Host OS, then run whatever else in VM's.
Specific configuration decisions will be up to you, but feel free to Open a Service Request (SR) if you need more help.

ZFS-Oracle Enterprise Linux

will ZFS support on ORACLE ENTERPRISE LINUX?

no one wrote:
is it possible to have advFS in OEl?
AdvFS only supports Tru64 & HP-UX (not a production port). Currently, no one is porting AdvFS to Linux or any other kernels. In theory it is not too hard to port a filesystem to a new kernel, but:
1) AdvFS is too old, BtrFS pretty much can do more than AdvFS and is more modern - eg. checksum, COW (which can be a bad thing for metadata intensive workloads, BTW).
2) while each kernel has a VFS layer, the APIs are not portable.
3) the virtual memory layer is somewhat integrated with the filesystem. So things like direct I/O need to be handled differently on Linux.
4) AdvFS was written 20 years ago, so I'd assume that many of the internal data structures are not multi-core friendly. AdvFS might not perform well on today's mulit-core hardware. So by the time you finish handling 1-3 and can successfully run something useful, the performance would be really bad on the 32-core processor entry-level server.
3 years ago, you need a full rack server with 128 threads to handle millions of TPC-C transactions:
http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpcc_result_detail.asp?id=112011801
This year, you can buy a 5U server with 160 threads, install Oracle Linux with UEK R2 and get similar performance. The guy from the dark side said that the server and the kernel had to be released before mid of this year, so start saving up now and get two!

Problems dual booting Windows Vista with Oracle Enterprise Linux 4

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,
enroll_que@tcis eq,
marketer@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

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:

Unable to auto start database/listener/EM on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5

All Experts
I have install oracle 11g on Oracle Enterprize Linux 5 successfully.
done all post installating steps, but when i restart server oracle listener/database/EM not automatically start.
Please guide what is wron (server dbora error: /bin/sh: :No such file or directory).
1. Log in as the root user
2. Edit the oratab file (SID=Y)
3. Create a file called dbora
4.Run chmod and chgrp on the dbor file
# chgrp dba dbora
# chmod 750 dbora
6.Creat symbolic links to the dbora script
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K01dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
7. add service
# chkconfig --add dbora
# chkconfig –list dbora
0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off
# ls -l /etc/rc*.d/*dbora
# !/bin/sh -X
# chkconfig: 35 99 10
# description: Start and stop the Oracle database, listener, EM, and iSQLPlus
# Change the value of ORACLE_HOMe to specify the correct Oracle Home Firectory for your installation.
# Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the oracle owner at your site
ORACLE_HOME=/oradisk/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db
ORACLE=oracle
PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
HOST="hostname"
PLATFORM="uname"
export ORACLE_HOME PATH
if [ ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case $1 in
'start')
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME"
'stop')
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME"
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit
esac
exit

does the script work when you log on to your freshly started system, logon as root and execute /etc/init.d/dbora start?
the script does not have to have group membership of the dba group.
also, do not create symlinks yourself.
by adding the service using chkconfig the script is started and stopped as indicated by chkconfig --list, no need to do additional steps like creating symlinks.

i've installation problems with oracle 11g R2 on oracle enterprise linux 5 update 5. In the section "ORACLE Net-Konfigurationsassisten" the failure "[INS-20802] Oracle NET-Konfigurationsassistent not success". What's wrong? I've followed the instructions on http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley-11gr1-install.html
I've heard the problem can occur with problems in /etc/hosts? My /etc/hosts is configured:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1          oracle localhost.localdomain localhost

I'm facing the same error message while install Siebel 8.0 on OEL. But before I had this ksh problem, it complains about disc space first, and I actually has plenty of disk space under the directory (it needs only 0.7 G and I have 17G free). Anybody has encountered such problem before?

Hi there ...
I want to install Oracle Application Server 10g R2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5. Can I get an installation instructions (or steps) for that?
Oracle installation guide mentions Suse 9 & 8 and Red hat 3 & 2. There is nothing related to Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 or 4?
Thanks

Yes there is one for 10gR3 too:

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.

Error during Oracle installation in Oracle Enterprise Linux

Hi All,
I was trying to install Oracle 10g in Oracle Enterprise Linux, and I'm getting the following error when I give the command *./runInstall*.
[oracle@localhost database]$ ./runInstaller -responseFile /home/oracle/database/response/enterprise1.rsp -nowelcome

The DISPLAY environment variable should be set to <hostname or IP address>:<screen>, where the <screen> is usually '0.0'.
OUI-10026:Depending on the Unix Shell, you can use one of the following commands as examples to set the DISPLAY environment variable:
- For csh: % setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
- For sh, ksh and bash: $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0; export DISPLAY
Use the following command to see what shell is being used:
echo $SHELL
Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setting:
echo $DISPLAY

OUI-10027:To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:

To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':
% <full path to xclock... see below>
If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.
Typical path for 'xclock': '/usr/X11R6/bin/xclock'
I have tried to set the DISPLAY variable to my IP address, but it still gives the same issue.
Please find the logs for the same:

Driver issue for Oracle Enterprise Linux

Hi All,
I have just installed Oracle Enterprise Linux. I was not able to access network. After doing lspci -- i found that my ethernet conrtoller : Atheros Communications AR8151 Gigabit Ethernet.
Can any one tell how to install driver for this ?

What is your output of:
<pre>
lsb_release -d
uname -r
</pre>
What kernel driver is in use or loaded regarding your Ethernet card when you check the output of lspci -v"?
Note that Oracle Linux just like any other Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not designed for typical consumer grade Laptops and Desktop systems.
Does your computer vendor provide any driver software for Enterprise Linux? You might be able to find 3rd party driver support using http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php as a temporary yum software repository. Probably kmod-atl1 or similar.
