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 - 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.

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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.

    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 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.

  • 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

  • Oracle Client installs with validated rpms

    Hello,
    I'm new to the Oracle on Linux world (OL6), so hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
    I'm needing to set up some Oracle clients (11.2) on middle tier/application servers
    Looking around for a simple/repeatable way of meeting the pre-install requirements and was considering using the "validated" rpms.
    The oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall rpm i believe is really for a database server setup, so it's doing some group/kernel parameter/package setup that i suspect isn't really required for a client only setup.
    Do people use those validated rpms for client only installs?
    Might there be a "Oracle Validated Client preinstall" rpm out there?
    Should I just script the package installs and user/group creation?
    Looking for some real world suggestions on how to make the client requirements/install process quick and easy!
    Thanks
    Steve

  • ULN oracle-validated, Note 761566.1 and database packages for OEL 5.5

    I purchased the ULN to simiplify installing the packages for an Oracle E-Business installation. I'm assuming the oracle-validated is not for E-Business installation because there were several required packages from note 761566.1 that were not installed The note also has a list of 11.1.0.7 required packages. Not all of these were installed with the oracle-validated update either. Maybe i'm not doing it correctly?
    If so, how do you use the oracle-validated to apply all the required packages. What channels do I subscribe to for the oracle-validated to work correctly.
    I am on OEL 5.5
    I am subscribed to two channels the latest for 5.5 and 5.5 x64 per a previous thread.
    Packages listed in note 761566.1 that I'm having trouble with:
    There are 3 parts to the package installation section.
    1. You have to go to http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/Enterprise_Linux to get a couple packages not on the OEL installation disk. Are these also on the ULN update someplace?
    •openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i3861
    •xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386
    2. A list of packages for release 5 and up
    There were more than this not updated from oracle-validated from the ULN but these are the trouble ones:
    This is on the list of required:

    glibc-devel-2.5-49.el5_5.7 (i386)
    glibc-headers-2.5-49.el5_5.7 (i386)
    Is glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.7 (i686) a newer version of •glibc-2.5-18.i686 (32-bit) ? if so, then where do I get the same version that is synonymous with •glibc-devel-2.5-18.x86_64 ?
    If i try to apply •glibc-devel-2.5-18.x86_64 I get stuck in a loop.
    This is what is on the 5.5 linux disk:.
    glibc-2.5-49.i686.rpm

    3. Additionally, the following RPMs are required for an 11gR1
    I would have thought at least these packages would have installed from the oracle-validated update, but they weren't. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
    The following are listed in the note to be installed: I get stuck in a loop with this one too. What do I do about this?

    In short, I found the missing file (libc.so) and I tried to create a simbolic link to it in the path rpm was asking (/usr/lib). In my system I found 2 (32 and 64 version). I tried both, I mean to link /usr/lib/libc.so to 64 version (as you can see in the console). It did not work. Then I did rm and ln -s to the 32 version of it but same result.
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance.
    Felipe

    You have probably compat-glibc installed but your are missing glibc-devel package, which contains object files for development using standard C libraries.
    I'm haven't tried it under RHEL, but it should work to setup the Oracle public yum repository, which will allow you to use e.g. yum install oracle-validated. This method will automatically fetch dependent packages. More info at: http://public-yum.oracle.com/
