Oracle VM 3 Linux Paravirtualized Drivers

Currently my Oracle Linux 5.x & RHEL 5.x are running on Realtek NICs drivers with 100MB network speed.
Refer to Oracle VM 3 User Guide - 8.11 Installing Paravirtualized Drivers (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E20065_01/doc.30/e18549/vm.htm#BABICHHG), I'm having a problem during install kernel-xen-version.type.rpm RPM which it required more RPM due to missing dependecies.
Does anyone successful install Linux Paravirtualized Drivers?

What are the missing dependencies? You can use http://public-yum.oracle.com to configure yum so that it automatically resolves dependencies for you. Also, keep in mind that the UEK (2.6.32) kernel has the paravirtualization drivers built-in, so if you boot that kernel, it should automatically switch to using the PV drivers.

Oracle Ent. Linux drivers for HP Smart Array B110i Sata Raid Controller

Trying to install Oracle Ent. Linux (OEL) release 4 update 8 on HP DL 180 G6 server. Where we can find OEL drivers for the sata raid controller ?
(HP Smart Array B110i Sata Raid Controller)
Thanks in advance.

The HP support side shows a Linux certification matrix at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert.html
From there you can also download the necessary drivers and instructions or use HP smartstart CD which prepares the system for the OS you need to install. Oracle Enterprise Linux is binary compatible with RHEL. You will need to click on "Archive" to see support for Enterprise Linux version 4 and older.

OEL 5.4 and paravirtualized drivers

Hi There
I have installed OEL 5.4 as the guest on Oracle VM Server. I did do an paravirtualized install. I then updated OEL 5.4 to the latest up2dates :)
Do I need to still install paravirtualized drivers or did it happen automatically ?

How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster

Dear all:
please advice How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster service ..
thanks ,,

Without RAC, you can only have one instance manage the database. One instance = one set of processes communicating via IPC.
Unless you know of a way to have processes use memory-based IPC across nodes, you need to pick a node and install & run the database software on that node.

I need to create two databases in oracle 11g on linux.
how to set SID'S in .bash_profile and change the init.ora file.
pls anyone let me know
thanks

If you have different databases on same node you could choose to not set ORACLE_SID in shell init file but use instead interactive oraenv Oracle script to set the right ORACLE_SID.
Please read Configuring the Operating System Environment Variables in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10897/em_manage.htm#ADMQS12369

Hi there!
The first thing you should do if you get ANY (almost) error when
installing Oracle Server in RedHat Linux v6,0 is to read this
document carefully: http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/
After hours of struggle it finally worked for me :-)))))
Only two things to add here:
1) If you want to be able to connect to the Linux server
(telnet) and running utilities like sqlplus locally on the
server, you should copy the ".profile" file to the users home
directory, add the user to the group "dba" AND make sure that
the $ORACLE_HOME directory has execute permissions for members
of the "dba" group (mine had default ONLY permission for the
owner to execute).
2) The file "listener.ora" was (for some reason) written
with "oracle_sid" where it really should say the real SID name
that is in my case "ORCL".
I just can't thank the guy who wrote the step-by-step
Installation guide for Oracle on RedHat Linux enough... THANK
YOU!

Oracle 9i on LINUX Transparent Gateway for SQL Server

Does anybody know if there is a Transparent Gateway available for Oracle 9i on LINUX to connect to SQL Server? I have run the installer and cannot seem to find the install options for any Transparent Gateways. I am familiar with their location in the universal installer as I have installed the Oracle/SQL Server Transparent Gateway with Oracle in WinNT. Perhaps Transparent Gateways for Oracle/LINUX are not available?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue - we want to upgrade our 9.2 to 10g Linux, and need to maintain connectivity to some legacy sqlserver databases. I can't find any mention of tg4msql for linux. What gives? Anyone know the answer to this? thanks, michael

Hi,
I think that Feedbak forum is not the best place for this problem.
You should ask this into
=> Installation Forum : Database Installation
or
=> Linux Forum : Generic Linux
Anyway, you can find an install doc here :

Differences between Oracle JDBC Thin and Thick Drivers

If any body is looking for this information...
============================================================
I have a question concerning the Oracle JDBC thin vs. thick drivers
and how they might affect operations from an application perspective.
We're in a Solais 8/Oracle 8.1.7.2 environment. We have several
applications on several servers connecting to the Oracle database.
For redundancy, we're looking into setting up TAF (transparent
application failover). Currently, some of our apps use the Oracle
<B>JDBC thin</B> drivers to talk to the database, with a connection
string that like this:
<B> jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:ORACLE_SID </B>
In a disaster recovery mode, where we would switch the database
from one server to another, the host name in the above string
would become invalid. That means we have to shut down our application
servers and restart them with an updated string.
Using the Oracle <B>OCI (thick)</B> driver though, allows us to connect
to a Net8 service instead of a specific server:
<B> jdbc:oracle:oci8:@NET8_SERVICE_NAME </B>
Coupled with the FAILOVER=ON option configured in Net8, it is
then possible to direct a connection from the first server to
the failover database on another server. This is exactly what
we would like to do.
My question is, from an application perspective, how is the Oracle
thick driver different from the thin driver? If everything
else is "equal" (i.e. the thick driver is compatible with the
app servers) would there be something within the the thick/OCI
driver that could limit functionality vs. the thin driver?
My understand, which obviously is sketchy, is that the thick
driver is a superset of the thin driver. If this is the case,
and for example if all database connections were handled through
a configuration file with the above OCI connection string, then
theoretically the thick driver should work.
============================================================
<B>
In the case with the Oracle, they provide a thin driver that is a 100% Java driver for client-side use without the need of an Oracle installation (maybe that's why we need to input server name and port number of the database server). This is platform indipendent, and has good performance and some features.
The OCI driver on the other hand is not java, require Oracle installation, platform dependent, performance is faster, and has a complete list of all the features.
</B>
========================================================
I hope this is what you expect.
JDBC OCI client-side driver: This is a JDBC Type 2 driver that uses Java native methods to call entrypoints in an underlying C library. That C library, called OCI (Oracle Call Interface), interacts with an Oracle database. <B>The JDBC OCI driver requires an Oracle (7.3.4 or above) client installation (including SQL*Net v2.3 or above) and all other dependent files.</B> The use of native methods makes the JDBC OCI driver platform specific. Oracle supports Solaris, Windows, and many other platforms. This means that the Oracle JDBC OCI driver is not appropriate for Java applets, because it depends on a C library to be preinstalled.
JDBC Thin client-side driver: This is a JDBC Type 4 driver that uses Java to connect directly to Oracle. It emulates Oracle's SQL*Net Net8 and TTC adapters using its own TCP/IP based Java socket implementation. <B>The JDBC Thin driver does not require Oracle client software to be installed, but does require the server to be configured with a TCP/IP listener. Because it is written entirely in Java, this driver is platform-independent.</B> The JDBC Thin driver can be downloaded into any browser as part of a Java application. (Note that if running in a client browser, that browser must allow the applet to open a Java socket connection back to the server.
JDBC Thin server-side driver: This is another JDBC Type 4 driver that uses Java to connect directly to Oracle. This driver is used internally by the JServer within the Oracle server. This driver offers the same functionality as the client-side JDBC Thin driver (above), but runs inside an Oracle database and is used to access remote databases. Because it is written entirely in Java, this driver is platform-independent. There is no difference in your code between using the Thin driver from a client application or from inside a server.
======================================================
How does one connect with the JDBC Thin Driver?
The the JDBC thin driver provides the only way to access Oracle from the Web (applets). It is smaller and faster than the OCI drivers, and doesn't require a pre-installed version of the JDBC drivers.
import java.sql.*;
class dbAccess {
public static void main (String args []) throws SQLException
DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:thin:@qit-uq-cbiw:1526:orcl", "scott", "tiger");
// @machineName:port:SID, userid, password
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select BANNER from SYS.V_$VERSION");
while (rset.next())
System.out.println (rset.getString(1)); // Print col 1
stmt.close();
How does one connect with the JDBC OCI Driver?
One must have Net8 (SQL*Net) installed and working before attempting to use one of the OCI drivers.
import java.sql.*;
class dbAccess {
public static void main (String args []) throws SQLException
try {
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@qit-uq-cbiw_orcl", "scott", "tiger");
// or oci7 @TNSNames_Entry, userid, password
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select BANNER from SYS.V_$VERSION");
while (rset.next())
System.out.println (rset.getString(1)); // Print col 1
stmt.close();
=================================================================

Wow, not sure what your question was, but there sure was a lot of information there...
There really is only one case where failover occurs, and it would not normally be in a disaster recovery situation, where you define disaster recovery as the obliteration of your current server farm, network and concievably the operational support staff. This would require a rebuild of your server, network etc and isn't something done with software.
Fail over is normally used for high availablity that would take over in case of hardware server failure, or when your support staff wants to do maintenance on the primary server.
Using the thin and thick driver should have ZERO affect on a failover. Transparent failover will make the secondary server the same IP as the primary, therefore the hostname will still point to the appropriate server. If you are doing this wrong, then you will have to point all your applications to a new IP address. This should be something that you tell your management is UNACCEPTABLE in a fail-over situation, since it is almost sure to fail to fail-over.
You point out that you are providing the TNSNAME, rather than the HOSTNAME when using the thick driver. That's true within your application, but that name is resolved to either a HOSTNAME, or IP ADDRESS before it is sent to the appropriate Oracle server/instance. It is resolved using either a NAME server (same as DNS server but for Oracle), or by looking at a TNSNAMES file. Since the TNSNAMES files profilerate like rabbits within an organization you don't want a fail over that will make you find and switch all the entries, so you must come up with a fail over that does not require it.
So, the application should not be concerned with either the hostname, or the IP address changing during fail over. That makes use of the thin or thick client acceptable for fail over.
Don't know if this will help, but this shows the communication points.
THIN DRIVER
client --> dns --> server/port --> SID
THICK DRIVER
client --> names server --> dns --> server/port --> SID
client --> tnsnames --> dns --> server/port --> SID
