Oracle VM 3.1.1, Oracle VM Server, PeopleSoft Templates and networking

I have installed Oracle VM Manager on an Oracle Linux x86_64 system, all freshly installed, and two Oracle VM Server 6 systems also freshly installed. These three servers are each connected to two networks. One is a 192.168.15.0/24 ("net-A"), and the other is 10.8.15.0/24 ("net-B"). net-B also has the fileserver for the repositories et al directly attached. "net-A" is connected to the outside world. This is all working great; all servers can intercommunicate, can be reached from other devices on each network, et cetera. I can ssh from any machine on the network to these machines, and vice versa. All servers correctly use the internal and the external DNS, and can communicate with Google, et cetera. Excellent!
Now, I have downloaded the templates for PeopleSoft HCM9.1, and PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52, and have successfully created Virtual Machines from these. The VMs start up and run successfully, and I have gone through the startup configuration prompts using the Oracle VM "Launch Console" feature.
My problem is that I have not yet figured out how Oracle VM Networking is supposed to work, and so I cannot get these machines to talk to each other nor to the outside world. And I cannot ping them from other devices on the network, either. Obviously, there's no advantage to having a PeopleSoft server running when one cannot attach to it. I've read through the documentation numerous times, and I've pored through http://itnewscast.com/chapter-7-oracle-vm-networking-8021q document over and over, but I get lost in the virtual-upon-virtual-upon-virtual world. Maybe (probably) it's me, but I am not getting how this fits together, and where/how the virtual-ness of the network ends. Plus, all of the configurations in that itnewscast.com Chapter 7 article involve at least one switch (virtual maybe? not clear!) between the VMM and the VMS, and I don't have a switch invoved in this network... it's flat, with everything on the same wire.
My Oracle VM network is super simple at present: There is exactly one network ("ps-net"), and it runs all five network channels (server management, live migrate, storage, etc.). Both servers are on this network, and the NIC used is the "net-B" NIC. There is no VLAN, and the IP addresses are set by DHCP. Bonding, the configuration display says, is Not applicable. Since these devices are on the same NIC as "net-B," I provided the 10.8.15.x network information when prompted, and assigned them fixed IP addresses on that network. For "gateway," I specified the address of the VMM, not knowing what else to use. And, as I said, these VM don't talk to anything, not even to each other.
My needs are very simple. The shame is I've built all this up for the express purpose of running those two templates, and it's been a battle, to say the least, to get this far. Who can point me to the error of my ways, or a better way to accomplish this end?
Thanks for your time, and for reading this far!

OK. Out of desire to resolve this, I have completely removed the 192.* network from this configuration, by disconnecting the eth0 networks, and changing the ifcfg-eth0 to ONBOOT=no (yes, I know either action should suffice).
So there is exactly one network involved now. (Greg King said that's OK, if scalability is not an issue, and if he said it, I believe it. I'll complicate it later, after I get simple working.) And one VMS is out of the configuration for now. So I have ora-vmm at 10.8.15.49 ora-vms1 at 10.8.15.47, and the fileserver at 10.8.15.50. ora-vms2 is at 10.8.15.48, but is down for now. The server pool address is set to 10.8.15.1. The network looks like this:
ID: 10.8.15.0
Name: ps-net1
Channels: all
Servers: ora-vms1, ora-vms2

I don't understand why, but the VMM has placed this entry into each server's /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory:
ifcfg-10.8.15.0
Contents are:
#This file was dynamically created by OVM manager. Please Do not edit
DEVICE=10.8.15.0

I am able to start the guest with no issue. It has been configured with IP address 10.8.15.101, netmask 255.255.255.0. Its gateway is 10.8.15.50, the same network configuration as all the other servers.
The important parts of ifconfig output from the guest (which I must manually type since Launch Console provides no copy/paste functionality) are:
eth0 Ethernet, HW Addr: 00:21:f6:00:00:11

Interrupt:14
Ping to 10.8.15.47 (the server on which this guest is running) is successful
All other ping attempts fail.
This is where I am, and why I'm confused. Can anyone help me understand why this guest can only talk to its "host?"
Thank you.

Problem in Server Admin: cpu and network graphs not updated or empty after lion server update

Hi!
Just for archive purpouses because i've already solved that!
After upgrading from OSX Server 10.7 to 10.7.1 my CPU and Network graphs in Server Admin stop being updated.
In 24h the graphs where blank (disk usage graph seem to keep working).
First i read about "what is the application responsible for this"; it's called ServerPerfLog, and you can see if it's running that way:
     # ps ax | grep ServerPerf
If you don't see anything else than your own "grep", that means that no application is running, no data is being collected.
     41324 s000 R+     0:00.00 grep ServerPerf
A positive response for this (meaning that the service is running) should be something like that (2 lines: your grep and the service app itself):
     94   ?? Ss     0:04.71 /usr/libexec/ServerPerfLog
     41344 s000 R+     0:00.00 grep ServerPerf
Later i read about "where is the config file for this service app", and you can find it here:
     /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
If you edit this config file, check that the "Key > Disabled" is set to "False"
     # vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
        <key>Disabled</key>
        <false/>
After that, i try to launch the service that updates this graphs again, by hand, performing the following command:
     # sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ServerPerfLog.plist
And the service got launch!!! yeeeepa!! i see a first update in graph data.
Also the "ps" query reply that the service was running!!
The bad things came a day after, when i saw that the graphs stop again....
I check if the service was running executing again the "ps" command, and that show me that the service was stopped again; no ServerPerfLog process was running.
But r e l a x, because the process hang because of a permissions problem.
You should know, I run "Repair permissions" within "Disk Utilities" over the running system disk, eeee... voila!
I hope that helps someone to get his fancy graphs back!
Regards,
t

You are God like!!! Wooo hooo! Thanks bud!

Server, FTP, Aliases, and Network

I'm trying to setup OS X Server to share my 6 hard drives over ftp. So far I can only do one at a time.
I cannot choose the Server in the network because it's not listed. Even when it has been listed, it doesn't let me connect. It's like the option is gone now that I' installed OS X Server.
When choosing Server from the network on the drop down menu, it doesn't let me click "Choose", I have to click one of the hard drives. Why am I restricted to just one device?
I've shared all 6 hard drives with the correct permissions, but I'm stumped. When I do have one of the hard drives selected in the ftp menu, I can log into it on the ftp browser no problem.
Also, I tried making alias links for all 6 hard drives and putting them in a shared folder for the ftp. They show up on ftp, but clicking them only downloads the 600kb link file. Any idea how I can get mapped drive links or something similar to work?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

The FTP included in Mavericks is relatively basic in its implementation. If it is in your budget, you might be better served looking at Rumpus.
However, before you go that route, you should try and use symbolic links, not aliases. Aliases is an Apple link format while symlinks are a Unix link format. Symlinks should work better with FTP. To create a symlink, us the ln command with the -s switch.
For example. let's say you have a path /Volumes/FTP/root/ which is where all users land when logging in. Then you have your six drives mounted at /Volumes/Drive1, /Volumes/Drive2, etc. Assuming you are sharing a folder called data on each of the drives (sharing the entire drive is usually not a good idea as there is a lot of hidden content on the root of the drives), your commands would look like this:
ln -s /Volumes/Drive1/data /Volumes/FTP/root/Drive1
ln -s /Volumes/Drive2/data /Volumes/FTP/root/Drive2
etc
The syntax is ln (link) -s (symlink) /Volumes/Drive1/data (source file or folder) /Volumes/FTP/root/Drive1 (path to link).
I've not tested this but symlinks should work. Run a man ftpd.conf to review your options and settings.

SQL Causes server to swap and become unresponsive, What is it doing?

SQL Causes server to swap and become unresponsive does it have the same effect with other users??
WARNING - script causes my servers to not respond, requiring reboot after 30 mins
Only run on a server/vm where a bounce is ok
The script creates a table
Runs an anonymous block to put 160mb in a single clob
Runs a simple select with some REGEXP_REPLACE and REGEXP_SUBSTR
This has been raised with Oracle support.
Their conclusion is lots of single block reads are causing the server to hang.
I do not think this is the reason and would like someone else to run it, to see what they think!

Now I am lost!!
As Iggy points out from the strace, the OS is returning an error back to the Oracle foreground process, is this not handled?
Or is it normal for oracle to ignore this error, and ask for more memory?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Migration from Oracle 9i 32 bit to Oracle 10G 64 bit on Windows 2003 Server

I am working on migrating Oracle 9i 32 bit to Oracle 10G 64 bit on Windows 2003 from Old server to new server. We have db around 500 GB and 3 schemas. I installed Oracle 10G on new server, created tablespaces, schema's blah blah and now doing export and import at schema level from old server to new server.
Import is taking more than 4 to 5 hours on new server. My manager is saying, window time is bit longer and he wants me to try possiblities to make this process faster. Can some one help me on this, to use the best possible method to complete this process faster?
Will below step work, if I try?
If I install, oracle 9i and 10g both on new server in different home directories and take the hot backup from old machine and restore on new machine in 9i home directory and use the upgrade configuration assistant from 10g and do the upgrade? Pls advice.
Thanks in advance,
Hari babu
Edited by: user6367891 on Mar 2, 2010 5:28 AM

It looks good.
I have one question in below steps:
To migrate an Oracle9i or older database to an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 64-bit Windows:
1 Perform steps 1 - 11 in "Migrating an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Database".
2 Shut down the database on the 64-bit computer:
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
3 Start the database migration:
SQL> STARTUP MIGRATE;
4 Migrate the database as described in Chapter 3, "Upgrading a Database to the New Oracle Database 10g Release" in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.
In step 4, it says, migrate database as described in chapter 3. In chapter 3, it says, to do the upgrade the process using dbca or manually. Pls confirm whether do the upgrade process after issuing startup migrate or not.
Thanks in advance.

Emulating Oracle Applications Environment in BI Publisher Enterprise Server

Hi there,
I think I know what the answer is going to be to this post but for reasons outwith my control I'm trying to understand if there is a workaround to achieve the resultant report output I require.
Background
Oracle E-Business on Demand 11.5.10.2
Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.2
My client has Oracle E-Biz on Demand but rather than utilising the integrated XML Publisher engine they have gone down the path of installing BI Publisher Standalone Enterprise Server for their report generation.
Now this works to an extent but I am experiencing problems trying to emulate the setting of an Apps context when I run a report so that I can utilise the Apps security within the Stanalone Enterprise Server. Is this even possible?
Example, basing a data model on PO_VENDOR_SITES (multi-org view) returns 0 (zero) rows but basing it on PO_VENDOR_SITES_ALL returns all rows (for all Orgs).
I can hear you all now yelling, "Use the Oracle Applications XML Publisher" version but in this "On Demand" arena that practice hasn't been adopted so i am raising this post in the hope that someone may be able to suggest a workaround or solution.
Actually, no BI Publisher security model has been adopted and all users use the GUEST account to run reports.
All comments and suggestions are appreciated :-)
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Gary, create a data template and call your own db function to initialise these. The beforeReport trigger will fire and set the enviro prior to the query being executed (as in Reports) Something like this below:
<dataTemplate name="BasicQueryDT" description="Simple query data template" defaultPackage="xxbi_setenviro">
     <dataQuery>
          <sqlStatement name="basicQuery">
               <![CDATA[
select max(last_update_date) today from apps.pa_projects_v]]>
          </sqlStatement>
     </dataQuery>
     <dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="xxbi_setenviro.before_rep"/>
     <dataStructure>
          <group name="G_Main" source="basicQuery">
               <element name="TheDate" value="today"/>
          </group>
     </dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>

Can Oracle view refer a table in Sql Server Database

Can a view created in Oracle database refer a table created in SQL Server database. If yes, how do we do it. Code will be very help full.
Again, if yes does it require any special software and what would be price of that software.
Thanks for your response in advance.

You would need to configure Oracle Heterogeneous Connectivity to create a database link to the SQL Server system. This can either be done via the Oracle Transparent Gateway for Microsoft SQL Server, which retails for $15,000 per server at http://store.oracle.com or by configuring Oracle Generic Connectivity and using ODBC to go after the SQL Server data. Depending on the operating system you run Oracle on, there may be a free (or cheap) ODBC driver for SQL Server that could be used.

Oracle client 32/64 bit on Crystal Server 2013 and Windows Server 2012

I'm getting the error "Unknown Database Connector Error" when I run report on the server and it works OK on crystal designer 2013.
Been reading this thread 32&64 bit Oracle Client but not much help there.
Here are the details
System
Windows Server 2012
Crystal Server 2013 SP5
Crystal Server has been installed and appears to work fine. I was able to develop a brand new report locally and saved it to the server and it displays ok. Of course when I click on refresh on the report, it will error out due to database connection it looks like.
We have installed both oracle client drivers 64 and 32. 64 was installed first and then 32.The path has been modified so that the 32 shows up first.
I even ensure oracle_home and oracle_home32 are specified and restarted the server. I still get the same error.
The tns entries are also located in both installs of oracle client...
What might be the issue?

Oracle Database Client 12.1.0.2.0 (32-bit and 64-bit installed)
Installation Type: Custom
COMPONENTS INSTALLED:
SQLPLUS
ORACLE NET
We are currently not using an ODBC connection.
We installed Crystal 2013 Server SP05. This is the sole package installed (believe it's the latest version) without any extra patch package installed (believe no patch needed as it's the latest version).

Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit

Good night Oracle community,
I'm having problems on using Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit that runs inside a virtual machine.
The first problem was the error ORA-12152 (unable to send break message) when using a 32-bit server version when trying to connect via SQLPlus using domain administrator user. I did reboot, tnsping, checked parameters and oracle support articles but neither help me. So I uninstalled it and installed the 64-bit version and it wasn't possible to run the applications like netca.
Now I installed it on a local profile version 32-bit to see if the problem was related to the domain.
My question is simple: is this environment ok to run a production database server? 11.2.0.3 is that stable with Windows 2008?
Thank you very much!

Oracle Database 11.2.0.3.0 is certified on Microsoft Windows (32-bit) 2008.
Error: ORA 12152
Text: TNS:unable to send break message
Cause: Unable to send break message. Connection probably disconnected.
Action: Re-establish connection. If the error is persistent, turn
n tracing and reexecute the operation.
Refer to MOS
ORA-12152 "Unable To Send Break Message" on Connection [ID 363638.1]

Oracle gateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server

Is there any place that I can find Oracle dateway for Oracle 10g DB on Windows 64 bit server? I can only find Gateway for Oracle 11g on Windows 32 bit server. Please help me to identify this. Thanks.

yingkuan:
Thanks a lot. The link tells the details. It seems that Oracle has not release Gateway for Oracle database 10.2.0.x on Windows 64 bit server. Probably they don't do it.
So under this circumstance, if I want to install Gateway (32 bit) on Oracle 10.2.0.3 DB on Windows 64 bit server for Teradata, I probably have to install Gateway software in another Oracle Home, then configure it right. Please give more advice on this. 32 bit Gateway will work for 64 bit database?

Whether Oracle 8.1.6 Supports Windows 2003 Server/Windows 2000 Adv. Server

Dear All,
Whether Oracle 8.1.6 Supports Windows 2003 Server/Windows 2000 Adv. Server.
I tried it in windows 2003 server but i couldn't. Atlease tell me wheather it support windows 2000 adv. server. This is my first dba job.
Under Doc ID: 66397.1 saying Oracle 8.1.6 Not Support Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition.
Under Doc ID: 77627.1 saying Oracle 8.1.6 Supports Windows 2000 Support.
Please help me out urgently.

Since you have access to Metalink, you could be looking at the Certify tab to find this information. But, the answer is that 8.1.6 is no longer supported by Oracle. However, you should be able to install it on Win 2000 advanced server. You just can't get any support for it.
The earliest version of db supported on Win 2003 was either 9.0 or 9.2, but 9.0 is desupported now as well.

Install Oracle 8i Personald Edition on Windows 2000 Server SP2

Hi
I have problem to install the Oracle 8i Personal Edition on
Windows 2000 Server SP2.
I run the Setup.exe, I become the message (not exactly) “JRE
(Java Runtime Environment) was not found…… please visit
www.javasoft.com….. and install JRE version 1.1.7 or higher…”
Now, I have download and install this JRE (JavaTM 2 Runtime
Environment v 1.2.2_008 / Internationalized version of Java 2
Runtime Environment).
The error-messages comes again.
Have everyone a idea?

hi phill...
why dont you try it out with the same CD and increase your RAM
by another 64MB? This will be enough. The reason is , most
Oracle 8i releases are combined with a java based Oracle
Universal Installer. This requires some good amount of RAM. Just
try it out with some extra memory. If this also didnt work, then
send in the problem,error with your system config. This will
help me in solving your problem.
