Oracle VM & Intel Xeon E5520

Hi,
I have workstation with Intel Xeon E5520. Problem ist that Oracle VM (version 2.2.1) doesn't recognize processor correctly i.e. reports only 4 CPU whereas Xeon E5520 have 4 Cores and total of 8 Threads.
According to this, OS should report total of 8 CPU as it is the case with any RH Linux installation.
Any idea why this is not the case with Oracle VM?
thanks,
goran

Oracle installation on Windows 64 bit with Intel Xeon

Hi!
we have Windows Enterprise Server SP2 64 bit with Intel Xeon processor and would like to install the SOLMAN with Oracle.
According to the original Oracle-DVD from SAP there are only three possible choise entries:
a) AMD64
b) IA64
c) I386
But I have the feeeling it should be one choice like "x86" is not?
Which one should we apply?
The I386 can be installed indeed, but we are getting the error during the SAPINST-Installation "Oracle software not installed". I thought this entry was only for 32 bit?
The IA63 Bit can not be installed.
Only the AMD64 we could install. But the question is, whether AMD is the same to Intel Xeon?
Thank you very much for any useful help/comments...

AMD64 is the correct one.
IA64 is "Intel Itanium-2"
I386 is generic "Intel Pentium (32bit)"
AMD64 is the generic term for processors supporting EM64T (Intel) or AMD Opteron

How to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.2) in Windows Server 2003 x64 - Intel Xeon

I have tried to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.2) in Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise Edition with Intel Xeon (EM64T) processors.
When I run setup.exe I get an error: "The image file C:\Documents and settings\administrator.SERVERNAME\my documents\92021 win64_disk1\setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine".
I have to install Oracle 9i in that server but I can't run the installation. Is there a way to solve this problem, is there a patch that can solve this? Anyone know something about this problem?
Thanks a lot!!!
I'm desperated!!

Hi,
reply to my own question:
In the docs provided with the downloads for Oracle Database Server 9i x64, I found that this version requires either
- Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for 64-Bit Itanium 2 Systems
or
- Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64-Bit Itanium 2 Systems
So I guess, the only X64 platform being supported under Windows Server 2003 (both Datacenter / Enterprise Editions) is Itanium CPUs ...
... though this is not (!!!) clearly stated in the download link (other/newer versions are listed more precisely - I guess it's a matter of an old link: no Intel Xeon / AMD Opterons were available (???) when Oracle 9i database server was published).
So I'll give it a try with 10g database server ;-)))

Hi,
You have still a "32-bit" platform ONLY.
1. Intel 64 is not AMD64, they are different. AMD64 implementation is only meant for AMD processors although the family is 64T support, full implementation is NOT done.
2. Your assumption of x86 is correct. You MUST go for I386 option ONLY !!!
3. Error of "Oracle software not installed" is different and you should not relate it to hardware. It is only for the environment variables and registry.. This will happen even in normal case..
Once again, you should NOT use AMD64 and IA64.. Try only with I386 option..
BTW, firstly, whats the reason for you to choose a 64-bit o/s that are meant for 64 - bit Itanium systems... CHoose a operating system that fits and will work with SAP optimally!
You should only choose a 32 Bit Enterprise edition of operating system. Windows Server 2003 R2 well works in your case and should be your choice !!
Finally your combination should be -
1. Windows 32 Bit Enterprise Edition R2 ---> O/s
2. i386 DVD -
> SAP/ Oracle DB
Hope this helps, revert for queries

Intel 960 vs dual Xeon E5520 for AVCHD editing

Like many people on this forum I am trying to determine the best hardware to purchase for my use of Premiere Pro. For the last several years I have been using Liquid Edition but decided to move over to Premiere because of its support for AVCHD editing.
I have narrowed my system choice between a single processor i7-960 and a dual processor xeon E5520. From the PPBM4 benchmarks it appears that a 960 system is sligthly ahead of the xeon system which surprises me. However, the results does vary based on task. An added benefit is that the 960 system is cheaper to build. On the other hand, Adobe seems to recommend a dual processor system for HD editing.
My question is which system is better at AVCHD editing? For the tasks that you routinely do in Premiere which configuration would better suit me?
Thanks for any help.

There are a number of things to consider:
1. Price/performance
2. Number of CPU's and cores
3. Clock speed
4. Memory slots
5. Overclock ability
What are the factors in favor of the i7-960 in comparison to dual E5520:
1. Price/performance
3. Clock speed
5. Overclock ability
so that means that dual E5520 have in in their favor:
2. Double CPU's and double the number of cores
4. Twice the memory slots (12 or even 18 versus 6)
When looking at the PPBM results, the i7-960 @ 3.2 performs around equal to dual E5520 @ 2.26. So effectively double the cores and lower the clock speed gives around the same performance. However, overclocking can have a significant impact as you see in the top results and that is where dual Xeons have a problem. Servertype mobo's are very difficult to overclock if at all (the same applies to Dell XPS BTW, because of their crippled BIOS). But the servertype mobo's have double or triple the memory slots of an X58 mobo and with CS5 around the corner, that may be a distinct advantage, because you can at reasonable prices go for 24 or even 36 GB memory.
However you remain limited to the standard clock speed and E5520 are not very fast. On the other hand if you were to build the system yourself, you could get an i7-930 at half the price of a i7-960 and overclock it to let's say 3.6 and it will be faster than both a single i7-960 and a dual E5520 at stock speeds.
Unfortunately, there are no tests specifically for AVCHD (there may be in the future for CS5) so a definite answer can not be given to your question, but keep in mind that all the top scores were achieved with raid configurations, so that is an aspect that should not be forgotten.
My advise: Depending on your budget, calculate between 30 - 50% of your budget for disks and raid controller. That will probably limit your choices.
If you have indefinite means available, I would go for dual W5590 or the new Gulftown hexacores, at least 24 GB RAM and an Areca 1880iX-24 with 24 Seagate Cheetah 15K.7 600 GB disks in raid30 and 4 SSD's in raid10 for boot disk. Add a nice nVidia card and a Tesla C2000 co-processor and you are equipped for the next coming years.

Hyperion Planning and Intel Xeon

Dear All,
I am currently installing the following Hyperion products:
Essbase, Planning, Scorecard, Reporting and Analysis.
Server specs:
Intel Xeon Processor E5540 (4 cores)
22GB RAM
My concern is the Xeon, is it supported by Hyperion products or not?
Your answer is very appreciated.
BR,
ioGGo.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your answer. So far after installing Oracle DB, Essbase, Planning, Reporting and Analysis, Scorecard, and ODI on a single machine 16 GB Ram Xeon 4 cores and Windows Server 2003 32-bits, it seems like everything is working fine except Business Rules.
BR,

Intel Xeon X5260 E5450 or Itanium

Do you have any papers or URL links on specs for x64 / x86 / Operating system / Oracle processor issues and recommendation for Oracle.
Will these PROCESSORS work? Intel Xeon X5260 & E5450 or any issues?

interesting... I read on Macenstein.com that someone put a Merom into the Mini and it was smokin' fast. That's what sparked my curiousity. One other thing: isn't Conroe basically the desktop version of the Merom? I have heard that the iMac may get a bump up to the Conroe and the Macbook Pro would get Merom, but aren't both Machines functionally the same machine? I mean, the iMac is basically laptop technology is it not? The iMac, mac mini, and Macbook Pro all share the same Yonah technology which would mean they have the same socket structure, so how could iMac be upgraded to Conroe if also the Mac mini and Macbook Pro had the same potential - or would they redesign the socket on the iMac to fit the Conroe? Thanks so much!!!!!

Intel Xeon processor X5600 Series

Hello,
Supports Oracle VM 2.2 the new Intel Xeon X5660 processor ?
Thanks,

The platform is:
HP Proliant DL380G7
Intel® Xeon X5660
Intel® 5520 Chipset
My question was whether Oracle VM 2.2 can use the virtualization features (VT-x, VT-d and VT-c) of this platform.
Thanks,

Parameter cpu_count and Intel Xeon

Hello,
I have server HP ProLiant 380DL with physical 2 processors Intel Xeon 3.06GHz with Hyper Threading. My OS Linux show me that there are 4 processors (because of the hyper threading). Oracle parameter cpu_count has value 4.
Have anybody experience with the same processors and right settings of parameter cpu_count. (I know that oracle documentation recommends that don't change this parameter).
Thanks for advice

CPU_COUNT is a parameter dinamically adusted by the Oracle instance. Oracle perfectly supports hyper threading and there is no need to change the value of this parameter.

Installing Windows 7 (64 bit) in MacPro 2.6Ghz Intel Xeon - Impossible?

There is a list of machines on which Bootcamp apparently does not suport Windows 7 - and lucky me, having purchased my copy of 'ultimate' it looks as if mine is one of them.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3986
According to the list "*Mac Pro (Mid 2006, Intel Xeon Dual-core 2.66GHz or 3GHz)* " is not supported - now mine is mid 2007, not 2006, but it isn't clear whatis meant there - but I'm thinking it probably means from mid 2006 until the end of production of the 2.66Ghz Intel Xeon Dual-core model. Correct?
But, has anyone managed to get Windows 7 onto one of these, with or without BootCamp - if so, how?
When I use bootcamp, put the 64 bit disc in the drive, it then gets as far as trying to boot from the DVD, and gives a message:
1
2
*Select CD-ROM Boot Type:_*
at this point the keyboard (as supplied with the Mac Pro, apparently important) does not work, nor does a PC format keyboard, so there is apparently no way to select an option, and I wouldn't know which of 1 or 2 was the correct boot type anyhow. The disk sticks and can only be ejected by pulling it out of the casework and pressing the usually concealed button on the drive.
Any pearls of wisdom gratefully received - or do I need a newer Mac Pro for W7?
Thanks. Stephen.

I'm experiencing exactly the same. Found some articles about re-burning the DVD but it hasn't helped.
My suspicion is that the BIOS (or mac equivalent) does not support booting 64bit OS. I remember trying to force OSX Leopard to boot 64bit and it wouldn't work. I can't recall the exact issue, but I suspect its similar.
I am installing Windows 7 Ultimate x64 in a Fusion VM - but not bootcamp - just a regular old VM. So far that is fine. Its not done yet but it is loading.
It may be as simple as a BIOS update - but as far as I know - there are none for my Xeon 3GhZ based system.
oh well.

Importing to Mac Mail Tiger 10.4.8 (intel xeon) From Netscape (7.2) mail

Importing to Mac Mail Tiger 10.4.8 (intel xeon) From Netscape (7.2) mail.
I can import old mail from Netscape 7.2 into Mac Mail Tiger 10.4.8. And most old mail back from 2002-2004 is imported but starting around MARCH 2005, no more mail is imported. That is out of 10-15 folders imported INTO the "import folder" each new folder contains, older mail but only a few from 2005, and nothing from after march 2005. (perhaps when switched from NS 7.1 to 7.2?? don't know) But in any case viewing with NS mail shows the files and attachments, but they DO not import to Mack mail. (one oddity when viewed in NS mail, if the priority column to be "normal" then they are imported. If empty then not imported.)
Any ideas how to get the rest of this mail into Mac Mail?
thanks

G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) intel xeon 64-bit

I simply DID NOT have the correctly dated BACKUP SET!
So NOW with all the data, properly in my Netscape Mail "local folders" I can easiliy (but slowly) convert them to Mac Mail.
Sorry for pulling the trigger too soon, It works perfectly if I use the proper backup data.
DUH! on me!

System crashes when attempting to install 10.6. Keeps asking to restart. Computer is a Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor and 2 GB Memory.

I have tried to install 10.6 and when install is complete it says restart. The computer restarts but keeps coming to a gray screen with a small black box that says to restart. The processor is 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 2 GB of memory. This should be more than adequate. Any ideas? Has anyone encountered this before? I had to restore 10.5 from Time Machine.

Your sig line says iMac, but TMK no iMacs were ever made with 2x2.66 GHz processors. Is this a Mac Pro you are installing on? Are you using a retail Snow Leopaard DVD?

I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run.

I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run. I tried 7.0.4 and 7.1.2, both from Apple software update and both crash during "loading themes". I am reluctant to upgrade OSX from 10.7.5 because I do not want to loose Final Cut Express 4.0.1. Apple Care no longer supports iDVD. I want a version if iDVD that supports Chapter markers as in iDVD 7.?.? that i used with my old (now deceased) Apple Power PC Mac Pro.

iDVD 7 should work fine with 10.7.5. Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Best graphics card for MacPro 5,1- 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon OS 10.6.8

Hi everyone.
I have a 2011 MacPro 5,1- 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. 32GB RAM OS 10.6.8 with the stock ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card.
When I output/process/convert video through Quicktime or iMovie or Adobe Premiere or VisualHub (not always, but usually WS multi-pass H264, best quality), it seems to take forever.
Currently (as I type this) outputting a 2 hour movie made of 14 clips of 852x480 30fps 44KHz movies to a 29.97 multi-pass H264 48KHz file with Adobe Premiere CS 5.5.2- is coming up on 10 hours.
I would like to upgrade to a better graphics card with better VRAM and processing power. I realize that being on OS 10.6.8 may create a few problems. I'm willing to upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 if need be. Though I'd hate to lose the carbon programs that I still use (like VisualHub).
I've heard that nVidia is the way to go, but I'm not sure which card to get. The Quadro FX 4800 looks promising (and expensive).
Anyone have any insight?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Dual or triple boot until you are sure if Lion or ML works.
GTX 570 2.5GB VRAM $320 from MacVidCards is one way to go, even GTX 680 (but that does require 10.8.x)
Nvidia 4000 (I thought I read Nvidia has a 5000 Quadro) not the older 4800. Amazon has Q4K $800.
