Oracle validated configurations

Hello Guys,
I have seen in the topic "Oracle validated configurations" that it is only for servers, I would like to ask if anyone of you tried to install oracle on linux on an Intel core2 DUO PC?
I remember I have tried to install oracle enterprise linux 4 on it and it didn't work because my Hard drive is S-ATA. did anyone try to install OEL5 on such system? does it support S-ATA drive?
thanks.

Hi,
I have four 320 GB Seagate SATA disk drives attached to standalone Promise PCI-SATA controller. I have installed OEL-4.5 and OEL-5 without any problem since both have `sata_promise' driver built as kernel module. It's interesting that first (GA) release of RHEL-4 didn't have the driver and installer didn't recognized disk drives terminating the installation. I had to download the driver from controller vendor's web site.
Depending on your specific hardware (PCI or on-board controller), it's quite possible that OEL-4.5 or even OEL-5 has not the driver for your controller. But it's common practice today that all main controller vendors (Adaptec, 3ware, LSI, Areca, Promise etc) distribute freely downloadable drivers for win and linux from their web sites with precise instructions how to install them during main installation.

Oracle Validated Configurations - Yes or No

To satisfy my curiosity, I've just tried, for the first time, oracle-validated configuration on a clean 32-bit OEL-5.2 installation without oracle database software already installed. I've used the actual
oracle-validated-1.0.0-8.el5.i386
rpm package.
According to the official oracle documentation's recommendations and naming convention, taken as a standard, I can say that oracle-validated configuration more failed than succeeded.
CORRECT SETTINGS:
* /etc/sysctl.conf has been correctly set
* /boot/grub/grub.conf has been correctly set
FAILED SETTINGS AND INCORRECT CREATIONS:
* /etc/security/limits.conf has been correctly set for oracle, but all other entries in the file related to other users has been erased by validation script
* no modification of /etc/pam.d/login file (pam_limits.so)
* the script created 'dba' and 'oinstall' groups and 'oracle' user with 'dba' group as primary group (not 'oinstall'), that is not in compliance with official oracle documentation. To verify:
[root@localhost ~]# id oracle
uid=502(oracle) gid=502(dba) groups=502(dba),503(oinstall)
If oinstall is not the primary group, what is it supposed to do?
I'd appreciate if someone could clarify this dichotomy between Oracle official documentation's recommendations and "oracle-validated configuration".
Thanks in advance.

NJ, (and segio, please take my response in account),
If you read between the lines of my response I (more or less) make the some of the point you do.
-required rpms
'that's a job for OEL linux Installer': I can only come to conclusion 'the OEL linux installer' you talk about must be installation program of linux. There is no database option in there, so that installer can't help you. Or do you mean the database installer? The database installer only checks if the rpm's are installed.No, I meant OEL Linux installer (anaconda). When you choose packages to be installed, you can select them either individually or in various groups. A group called let's say "Oracle database 10g/11g required packages", as an option, would be very useful. I said - as an option - because OEL is not exclusively related to Oracle database. It is a distro, just like any other distro. Certainly this doesn't mean that "oracle-validated configuration" cannot be useful by checking (and resolving) the dependencies once again at any time when it is necessary. But, in any case, it should be the primary job for OEL installer at OEL installation time.
I agree with you that loosing settings is a very bad thing and should be considered a bug.Of course.
besides that I don't like the oracle user and groups to get random uid and gid's; in any environment you want that to be fixed numbers.
besides that the points I wanted to make was:
-it is not that it's not that hard to make a script which setups your environment in a basic way.
another point is that for rough and quick setup, a default linux system can be used to run a default installed database. no need to do any tweaks with system settings.
-an oracle validated package should not overwrite any settings (obviously), but should be flexible and 'steerable' so it can work together with system policiesCompletely agreed.

Oracle Validated Configuration RPM

Hello,
I am going to install Oracle DB Standart edition on Unbreakable linux. I did update according to the http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16763/install_overview.htm#CHDFJDFF (chapter 1.3.5) after that should be created Oracle and respective dba groups as I understand, but it not happened. I tried to check log /var/log/oracle-validated/results/orakernel.log, but this log is missing.
During up2date acccording the chapter 1.3.5 no error was dispalyed.
What you recomend me now? Shall I create the Oracle user before the start instalaltion and which rights which respective group?
Thank you in advance.

Can you check that the oracle-validated RPM was actually installed? What does "rpm -q oracle-validated" tell you? If the log file was not created, consider removing and re-installing the package once more.

Enhancement Request - KickStart files for Oracle Validated Configurations

Just a thought, but I would like to request that the "Oracle Validate Configurations" also include an example kickstart file that contains the necessary RPMs above the default. In addition, in the %post section, all of the OS modifications (e.g. sysctl parameters, user accounts, ulimits, pam.d mods) that need to be completed for an Oracle installation could also be provided.
I have found some on the web and from suppliers such that I have created a kickstart file that is working for me and my hardware, but my mind would be at ease if there were more "sanctioned" versions out there.
FYI -- Reading through the documentation, it appears that OEM module for Oracle Linux provides the mechanism to create a kickstart file in the bare metal provisioning features.

A good start has already been done on OTN

Oracle-validated rpm and ulimit values

OS: Oracle Linux 5.6 (VirtualBox)
I'm somewhat puzzled over the Oracle 11gR2 installation instruction and the "oracle-validated" rpm package.
According to the Oracle installation instruction for Linux at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16763/pre_install.htm#BABIAIED
The following values are recommended minimum:
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
oracle soft stack 10240 (32768 KB at most)
The oracle-validated package modifies /etc/security/limits.conf as following:
oracle soft nproc 131072
oracle hard nproc 131072
oracle soft nofile 131072
oracle hard nofile 131072
oracle soft core unlimited
oracle hard core unlimited
oracle soft memlock 50000000
oracle hard memlock 50000000
From what I understand, these values are maximum limits. I assume the "oracle-validated" package is not just only for Oracle 11g, and the Oracle 11g documentation recommends values, assuming you do not want to set it to unlimited? Is this correct?
Btw, the Oracle supplied $ORACLE_HOME/bin/osh utility to check and raise the ulimit to the maximum, actually sets ulimit to 1056837 with the oracle-validated package installed, but it is not run unless ulimit does not return "unlimited" or is less than 2113674. The osh utility is run by oraenv.

It seems there is no real answer to it, or there is no issue as such. I'm marking this thread as answered. I have come to the following conclusion:
Oracle-validated configures /etc/security/limits.conf which sets the upper limits per login. It is up to the user to decide the actual limits. The Oracle installation instructs to set ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536 for the Oracle user, which is certainly within the upper limits of limits.conf.
I notice however that the default stack size is smaller than recommended. i.e. 8192.
/etc/profile (add ulimit -s)
if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
   if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
      ulimit -u 16384
      ulimit -n 65536
      ulimit -s 10240
   else
      ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536 ulimit -s 10240
   fi
fiI think setting the values to unlimited is probably not the best idea.

OL 6.x - oracle-validated?

Hello
I just read the announcement that Oracle Linux (with UEK) 6.x is now officially certified for Oracle 11g R2 database.
Is there OL 6.x which has oracle-validated rpm? I use this rpm on OEL5.7 and it works great, it would be great to see something similar in OL6.x which installed all mandatory packages required by Oracle 11.2, ASM and Grid "automatically" with selection single click.
two more questions, apologies, I am new to Linux...
(1) there is UEK2 released now too - is it certified/supported to use with Oracle 11.2.0.3 ?
If so - can anyone point me to a document describing how I can upgrade to new UEK2 on existing OL6.2 (or OEL5.8) ?
(2) is oracleasmlib for OL6.2 available now? up to now only OEL5.x compatible oracleasmlib was on public download site, can anyone provide a pointer to one compatible with OL6.2 please?
Many thanks in advance

For what it's worth, I have been wondering about the advantages of ASMLIB and came to the following conclusions:
ASMLib examines each disk in the system and simplifies management in regard to ASM diskstring to avoid multiple paths to storage devices, which ASM cannot handle. When using ASMLIB with ASM on Linux, you can ensure the discovery of the multipath disk by configuring ASM to scan the multipath disk first or to exclude the single path disks when scanning.
ASMLib provides an alternative method to "o_direct" on block devices to avoid kernel buffering (I/O scheduler) under Linux, which initially did not provided a raw device interface. The use of raw devices has also been depreciated as of RHEL 5. ASMLib provides a different code path that may not increase performance, but apparently can help to reduce system load by exploiting the capabilities and strengths of vendor storage arrays.
I have a couple of links for references:

Availability of oracle-validated rpm for el5 (2.6.18-8.el5)

Is the Oracle validated rpm available for el5 (Oracle Enterprise Linux 2.6.18-8.el5) . It only seems to be available for el4. We do have ULN support.

Hi,
Oracle-Validated is an optional way to satisfy the pre-install requirements for customers signed up with Unbreakable Linux support.
This packages main function as following:
1,Checks whether the required packages are present, and if some of them are not, installs them automatically resolving the dependencies.
2,updates the paramaters in the system files ( /etc/sysctl.conf, /etc/security/limits.conf, /etc/modprobe.conf, /boot/grub/grub.conf ) according to recommendations derived from the Validated Configuration specifications.
3,Creates dba and oinstall groups, and Oracle user if they are not present. If an oracle user is present before rpm install, no changes are done to that groups and user.
The developer are going to create links for downloading of oracle-validated.rpm on all or one of the following pages: http://linux.oracle.com, http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html, http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/index.html.So far,it hasn't got yet.

Oracle Validated RPM - Which to download?

I'm preparing a couple Linux x86_64 servers for building a RAC cluster and thought I'd give the Oracle Validated RPM a try.
The specifics -
Red Hat Linux RHEL 5.5 (kernel level 2.6.18-194)
Oracle Grid Infrastructure release 11.2.0.2.2
Oracle Database release 11.2.0.2.2
I am not a member of OLN, I don't use the Oracle Unbreakable Kernel and I don't use Oracle Enterprise Linux. (But worn out reading about all of these topics.)
I go to this download site as directed by MOS Note 437743.1.
http://oss.oracle.com/el5/oracle-validated
where I am presented a list of these rpm files:

Question 1: Do I just grab the newest version of these EL5 based rpms? in this case "oracle-validated-1.1.0-7.el5.x86_64.rpm", or is there some other dependency on kernel level?
Question 2: Does this Validated RPM configure changes necessary for Grid Infrastucture as well as Database?
Question 3: Are prople pretty happy with the job that this RPM does in configuring things properly?
Thanks in advance for your insights.

Hi,
1.) Yes, only take the newest one.
2.) Yep it should (some expeptions apply)*. Just make sure you configured an automatic update server (yum), that all dependent RPMs can be downloaded as well.
For OEL you could use public-yum.oracle.com, but since you don't like OEL I am sure you know where to find a free RHEL one...
3.) Definitely. I never go without it.
* E.g. it does not configure/change NTP configuration, as it is a requirement for the 11gR2 GI install.

what would be the problem?

At the Oracle Support site https://support.oracle.com
To access the document, you will need a valid CSI (Customer Support Identifier), which is given when you purchase a support contract from Oracle.
If you do not have a CSI, I would recommend that you completely uninstall the product and reinstall again by following the Install Guide at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=11

Oracle-xe configure DESTROYED everything... Seriously?!

Okay so, I had some problems with the XE listener so I decided to remove /etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe ( the configuration file as I've understood ).
And then running:
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
Just pressing enter untill its done.
Now i Cannot use sqlplus to connect, because it says my password for system is not correct ( which is what i put into the configuration ). And when doing the "hack" and using su to run the sqlplus as dba, the database is CORRUPT.. ALL my stuff are gone?!
Where is it?!
And why the !"#!% would "configure" REMOVE stuff?!
Seriously, this is irritating and is really making me sad :(
Any ideas?

I don't have any hands-on with XE specifically, and am sitting in a bar right now, so can't dig very deep, but here are some things that will help:

Sorry for being unclear, it's been a long working day, over 12 hours by now and I am getting tired of this problem. :)
I will try to give you some better information.
At the moment I have another problem with the Database, all of a sudden I am getting the following:
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
Any time you see an ORA-nnnnn message, you should stop right there and look it up. Either google or (better) go to tahiti.oracle.com. THat is the portal to the entire oracle doc library. Drill down to your product and version and use the 'search facility.
even thougn I run the commands in order:
shutdown abort
shutdown immediate
startup mount
startup
However this results in the following:
SQL> alter database open;
alter database open
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database openAgain, always look up any ORA-nnnnn messages.
>
Going back to the previous problem, when I try to start the database such as:
startup
or database recover;
I get an error telling me that I need to rename my .dbs to a valid name, the current name is somewhat like MISSING000005 ( can't remember the amount of 0-s ).
again, exact error message
But altering it wont work, because then I get another error telling me it doesn't exists, even though I provide the Exact path to it.
Is it possible to load a .dbf-file and just see if the data is intact? or what should I do?you don't load .dbf files. All you can do is restore (from a backup) and recover (apply redo)
>
How do I easily show you guys what my errors are?
Lose the GUI and work at a command line, where you can copy everything you do and paste it into your posts here. Be sure to enclose any pasted text with the "{code}" tag.
First of all I guess i need to fix the above problem, which I have no clue how to do.. Suggestions?
I am thankfull for all input on this matter.

[INS-20802] Oracle Database Configuration Assistant failed

I am trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on my windows 7 Professional, 64bit computer. After 42% of installation, it started showing some files are missing. Few of them are:

And the final pop up winow says:
Database configuration Assistant:Info
*"Template General_Purpose.dbc does not exists. Please specify an exixting template for database creation"*
*"[INS-20802] Oracle Database Configuration Assistant failed"*
Details:
Cause:- The plug-in failed in its perform method
Action:- Refer to the logs or contact Oracle Support Services.
Following are the last few lines of the log file. Can anyone please help me to fix this problem?<snip>
the error has nothing to do with DBCA. DBCA was simply the last in a long string of victims.
Go back and read the instructions where you downloaded the install media. They state that the TWO zip files you download must be unzipped into the same directory.

Oracle Validated

howdy everybody,
My friends told me that when I use oracle-validated, is not necessary I set kernel (sysctl.conf, limits.conf), add user oracle, dba, oinstall, etc... because the oracle validated do all.. that's true?
What does mean oracle-validated? what really it do? i know it install all packages, but anymore?

oracle-validated is for Oracle Linux 5. oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall is for Oracle Linux 6.
The packages trigger dependencies (YUM) that install the pre-requisite software required for 11gR2, configure kernel parameters, setup and configure the oracle user/group account provided it does not already exist. You will still have to setup the ORACLE_HOME directory and others and setup appropriate permissions.
