Oracle-Validated RPM install on OEL 4.5 x64

I've had problems trying to install the Oracle-Validated RPM on OEL 4.5 x64. Up2Date would hang. Anyone else try using the RPM on OEL 4.5?

Sergio,
I reran the commands today and they work fine. It must have been a glitch in the network. Thanks.
Any word on the update of the RPM for OEL 5.0? Is this going to be released to the Open Source or is this specific for OEL? I wanted to start using this on RHEL and Centos.

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 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.

Oracle validated rpm on RHEL4? RHEL5?

Can I use the Oracle Validated rpm on RHEL4? RHEL5?
Note:579101.1 Linux OS Installation with Reduced Set of Packages for Running Oracle Database Server without ULN/RHN
The above metalink note only talks about OEL...

To summarise: yes, you can use the oracle-validated rpm on RHEL 4 and 5.
The use of the oracle-validated rpm is not only to have some things arranged on the linux level (limits, user, groups, etc.) but also to have all the needed other rpm's installed. These rpm's are not installed when the oracle-validated rpm is installed using the rpm command, instead, the installation will fail and notify you about the first rpm on which the oracle-validated package is depended (and when resolved about the second, etc.). up2date & yum resolves these dependencies automagically for you, using rpm you must do it yourself. That's why it is convenient to have up2date setup, or a yum repositiry.

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 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.

Where can I found the Oracle-Validated rpm packaeg in OEL6?

Hello,
I installed the OEL6 to avoid some issues I had; now I can't find the Oracle-Validated package rpm; I registered my system to UBL and nothing show up.
Thanks

user11344822 wrote:

There is no oracle-validated RPM for OL6 yet, as there are no certified Oracle applications for OL6. Until our applications are certified, we cannot build that RPM (because we don't know what the right settings are yet!). Keep in mind that most Oracle applications won't install on OL6 yet and none of them are supported yet either. You're better off staying on OL5U6.

OEL 56 and Oracle validated rpm server will not reboot.

Is anyone else having trouble with 2.6.32-100.28.9.el5?

One of our sys admins has some input on this. Starting to make sense.
Looks like maybe this kernel is missing the device mapper info.
*.203 + *.205:
Now regarding the issue with this and the *.205 server post kernel
updates + reboot (kernel panic due to the system not being able to load
/), I think this was due to some needed device mapper modules being
missing from the initrd of the new kernel (see below for the details).
As per lenny, I've updated the grub configs on *.205 to load the old
kernel (default=1 in /boot/grub/grub.conf; the system was restored by
booting back to the previous kernel) for now:

Oracle Validated rpm for Linux 5.9

I am looking for the correct oracle-validate rpm for Linux 5.9. There are several out there but I dont know which is the correct one. Any help would be appreciated.

Oracle R12.1 Install on OEL 4.5

I have successfully installed an R12.1 Vision instance on a laptop running OEL 4.5 (the server.) I can bring up the Apps home page on the server itself and access the Oracle Applications Manager pages. I can connect to the database using SQL Developer and SQL*Plus from an XP client laptop but I cannot connect to the Apps home page with a web browser - I tried IE and Firefox.
Actual Message from Firefox:
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at m4300.vistech.com:8000."
I can successfully ping the URL from the XP machine.
I would appreciate any ideas or advice regarding this matter.
Thanks!

Hi,
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at m4300.vistech.com:8000."What version of Firefox?
Firefox 3.6 Certified with Oracle E-Business Suite
http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/2010/01/firefox_36_ebs.html
Can you reproduce the issue from adifferent machine and/or using a different browser (IE)?
Do you have proper entry in the hosts file?
I can successfully ping the URL from the XP machine.
I would appreciate any ideas or advice regarding this matter. What if you type the application IP Address in the URL, can you see the main login page then?
Also, see if any errors are reported in apache log files.
I assume that the installation was completed successfully, if not run AutoConfig and check again.

Hussein

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.

Missing Dependency while installing validated rpm

I installed the Oracle Linux 5.5 with the base package and software development option. Then I downloaded the validated rpm oracle-validated-1.0.0.-22.el5.i386.rpm
root] yum install ./oracle-validated-1.0.0-22.el5.i386.rpm
Missing Dependency: unixODBC-devel is needed by package ....
Missing Dependency: sysstat is needed by package .....
Please help. Thanks

It's probably also not the most up2date version:
# yum list oracle-validated

Installed Packages

You can then use yum to install or update software packages, rather than having to download rpm packages manually. Yum will automatically fetch/upgrade the latest versions and solve package dependencies for you. Don't forget step no 3 to enable the sections [el5_oracle_addons] [el5_addons] [el5_u5_base] and [ol5_u5_base] if you wish to install the new Oracle optimized kernel.

How do I update/install the packages

THIS IS SO COOL!
I am posting the results of Avi's answer. This would have taken hours or trial and error to resolve these dependancies.
Big thanks to Avi

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:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b31107/asmprepare.htm
