Patch Requirements for Building Oracle 10g on Solaris 10

Hi,
I am about to install Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2 on Solaris 10 (Sparc). I have looked at the Oracle docs pertaining to this process and they seem to indicate that I need to apply a few patches to solaris. I know that sun currently charge for their updates and I was just wondering what service plan I should purchase in order to get access to the appropriate patches. Would the basic service plan be sufficient? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well.. For oracle its normally enough with a recommended cluster, which can be found free of charge at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access
Quite many patches can still be downloadable even without a contract. Even if you will see more infodoc and bugreports with a contract..

Doubts intalling Oracle 10G in Solaris 10.

Hi Buddies;
I'm installing Oracle 10g, in Solaris 10, first I uncompressed this file 10gr2_db_sol.cpio. Now, when I execute runInstaller I got this message:
Checking operating system version: must be 5.8, 5.9 or 5.10. Actual 5.10 Passed
Checking Temp space: must be greater than 250 MB. Actual 13289 MB Passed
Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB. Actual 13492 MB Passed
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
>>> Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Ch eck if the DISPLAY variable is set. Failed <<<<
Some requirement checks failed. You must fulfill these requirements before
continuing with the installation,at which time they will be rechecked.
What I supposed to do? Thanks for your help.

Hi,
look at:
Re: Problem in adding database
maybe it helps. It that thread I showed how I usually manage X11 window. Another way is to do everything silent with scripts as shown here:

Oracle 10g on solaris 10 : kernel parameter warning

I am installing oracle 10g on Solaris 10.
I have a warning on kernel parameter missing (shminfo_shmmax for example) during the system check.
I understood that with the 10 version of solaris these parameters are replaced by ressources control and I have checked them. They are correctly setted.
Need I do something before continue the install to release the warning or can I bypass this issue and continue the install as I have no warning ?
Thanks for your answers.
Sorry for my english.

You are right. Since Solaris 10 kernel parameters settings in /etc/system is obsolete and some parameters are deprecated.
The steps how to configure required parameters you can find in my paper (step #1.): http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora10gR2_solaris.html
I bypass this issue and continue the install as I have no warning You can safely bypass this issue during installation process but you should set these parameters after installation.

Error when installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.

Hi to all.
Currently, i am trying to install patches for portal server.
The server OS is Sun Solaris 8.
We are using Oracle9iAS.
Now, we are installing 9.0.1.4.0 patch set for the Oracle Database Server.
We managed to install the patch, but have problem with the Post Install Action.
We managed to run
-ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-@rdbms/admin/catpatch.sql
-ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
-CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
-update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
-commit;
But, when we come to the next command, which is to shutdown, it gives us like
this..
SQL> update obj$ set status=5 where type#=29 and owner#!=0;
1402 rows updated.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
We tried to startup the database..it gives us this error..
SQL> startup
ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
So, we tried to shutdown again..
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted
I been informed that this is maybe a Database problem related. Any ideas?
Best Wishes,
Rushdan Md Saad.

Checking for Patch Requirements for Extended Support of 11.5.10

Hello
I am trying to check for a client that they are meeting the minimum requirements to remain on Extended Support. They use 11.5.10.2 and run that on a 11.2.0.3 db
The method I am using is:
1.
Check to see what is Shared and Licensed via OAM.
This will tell me the products that we must licensed and shared and which we must ensure we meet the minimum
2.
Go to Patch Requirements for Extended Support of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10 [ID 883202.1]
and ensure that we are meeting these.
Seems very tedious ... (over 60 products to check) is there another way?

Installation of Oracle 10g in Solaris 10 zones

Hi Everybody,
Is there any Documentation for Installation of Oracle 10g in Solaris 10 Zones.
I am having multiple zones shared by one common SAN Storage.
I want to install oracle 10g in one of the particular local zone.
Regards,
Prosenjit Mukherjee.

Last time I looked at metalink the documentation said zones and containers were not supported. That may no longer be true so you should check there first.

Complexities of Migrating Oracle 10g from Solaris to HP-UX Itanium

Can anyone share their experiences with regards to migrating Oracle 10g from Solaris on a Sun platform to HP-UX 11i v3 (Itanium) on HP Integrity servers. We are trying to consider all the risks associated with such a move. How much time delay did you experience in resolving unexpected issues along the way? How complex is the process? If you had to do it all over again, would you?
In addtion, we will also be migrating Oracle eBusiness Suite 11i (11.5.10.2).
We appreciate your helpful feedback.
Thank you.

Here is more information:
- the database size is currently about 500GB
- our ASP allows us to be down as much as we want however the company's own needs can only allow a downtime window of two days (over the weekend)
- i presume further that RMAN might be an option to use to backup the database and instance to some transportable media
- it would take about four days to get that media from the ASP to our facility so durign that time the instance at the ASP would have to be used
- after we get the backup media and load everything into our in-house site, our last step would be to find a way to migrate all changes over the WAN. I am told that unless the platforms are the same on both ends, mirroring will be extremely difficult or impossible. If we have a platform that is different from the ASP platform, then the migration of all changes will require conversion and other mechanisms. I am told that HP-UX has so much complexities that this will be a daunting task to accomplish.
Do you have any opinions and recommnedations?

LRM -00109:could not open parameter file Oracle 10g in Solaris 10

Hallo! I have just installed Oracle 10g in Solaris 10.When I logged into sqlplus / as sysdba if found that I was connected to an idle instance. When I tried to startup open the db, the following error appeared
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup open;
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/export/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/initsolaris.ora'
My pfile has the name init.ora and not initsolaris.ora.How can I change the settings to make the Oracle database start via pfile init.ora.
Eventually,I would like the db to read the spfile spfileorcl.ora during the startup.How can I achieve this?
Thanks

By default, oracle will look first for a spfile named "spfile<ORACLE_SID>.ora". Lacking that, it will try to find "init<ORACLE_SID>).ora.
Eventually,I would like the db to read the spfile spfileorcl.ora during the startup.How can I achieve this?
Once you have started the db (I believe a startup nomount will be sufficient) you can issue CREATE SPFILE ... Details are in the fine SQL Reference manual found at tahiti.oracle.com
BTW, "open" is the default behavior of "startup", so no need to specify it. A simple "startup" does the same thing.
Thanks

[Beginner Oracle 10g on Solaris 10]Script Root.sh asking road

Hello,
Need help please, Iam near the end of my installation Oracle 10g on Solaris 10, Oracle installer ask me to execute Root.sh, he ask me a path, suggesting me this road /usr/local/bin
The message is Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory : usr/local/bin/ ?
my path is
$PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin/:usr/ucb
$ORACLE_HOME=/export/home/oracle/oraInventory.
This message follow after I executed orainstRoot.sh successfully.
Thx for any help.
Edited by: user583169 on Feb 24, 2009 1:41 PM

This script asks for path where oraenv, coraenv and dbhome scripts should be copied/created.
Default (suggested) path (full path to directory) is /usr/local/bin directory but you can specify your own directory.
So you have at least two options:
1. Use default location and put /usr/local/bin to your $PATH environment variable
2. You can specify your own path which exists (is set) in $PATH variable (for example /usr/bin)

Minimum system requirements for installing Oracle Application Testing Suite

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what are the minimum system requirements for intalling Oracle Application Testing Suite?
Thanks in Advance

From the release notes (12.1.0.2).
System Requirements
Oracle Application Testing Suite has the following system requirements:
4
3.1 Oracle Functional Testing/OpenScript
Oracle Functional Testing’s OpenScript scripting platform has the following system
requirements:
■ Operating System (32-bit and 64-bit versions): Windows XP, Windows Vista,
Windows 2003, Windows 7, Windows 2008
■ Memory: Minimum 1 GB
■ System: x86, 32-bit or 64-bit processor, 2.6 GHz or faster
■ Disk Space: 4 GB minimum
■ Browser: Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x., 9.x and Firefox 3.5/3.6, 6.x
3.2 Oracle Load Testing
Oracle Load Testing has the following system requirements:
■ Operating System (32-bit and 64-bit versions): Windows XP, Windows Vista,
Windows 2003, Windows 7, Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2. Oracle Enterprise
Linux 5.1, 5.2 64, 4u8.
■ Memory: Minimum 2 GB.
■ System: x86, 32-bit or 64-bit processor, 2.6 GHz or faster
■ Disk Space: 10 GB minimum free (at least 3 GB free on the system drive)
■ Browser: Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, Firefox 3.5/3.6, 6.x
■ Database: Oracle EE 10g or 11g, XE 10g
■ Application Server: Oracle WebLogic 11g (10.3.5.0). Oracle Application Testing
Suite requires the standard WebLogic Server installation (which includes jrocket
jdk.). It does not support generic versions of WebLogic Server installation (such as
those that use wls1035_generic.jar).
■ Oracle Load Testing Agent also supported on Linux 32-bit & 64-bit, in addition to
Windows 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems listed above
Note: These are minimum requirements only and actual
requirements for the Oracle Load Testing Server will vary depending
on the size and configuration of your load test. If you are running
larger load tests, of greater than 1000 Virtual Users, you should
consider deploying Oracle Load Testing on a faster server class
machine with additional RAM recommended.
Note: Oracle recommends running the Oracle Load Testing Server
and Agents on separate systems for production load testing. The
amount of memory required on the Oracle Load Testing Agent
systems may increase based on the number of Virtual Users that will
be assigned to run on each Agent. For more information, visit the
QA/Testing Technology Center on Oracle Technology Network or
contact your Oracle representative.
5
3.3 Oracle Test Manager
Oracle Test Manager has the following system requirements:
■ Operating System (32-bit and 64-bit versions): Windows XP, Windows Vista,
Windows 2003, Windows 7, Windows 2008, Windows 2008 R2. Oracle Enterprise
Linux 5.1, 5.2, 4u8.
■ Memory: Minimum 2 GB.
■ System: x86, 32-bit or 64-bit processor, 2.6 GHz or faster
■ Disk Space: 10 GB minimum free (at least 3 GB free on the system drive)
■ Browser: Internet Explorer 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, Firefox 3.5/3.6, 6.x
■ Database: Oracle EE 10g or 11g, XE 10g
■ Application Server: Oracle WebLogic 11g (10.3.5.0). Oracle Application Testing
Suite requires the standard WebLogic Server installation (which includes jrocket
jdk.). It does not support generic versions of WebLogic Server installation (such as
those that use wls1035_generic.jar).
3.4 Additional Notes
The following are additional notes about system requirements:
■ The ATS installer can automatically install and configure an Oracle 10g Express
Edition (XE) database for use with Oracle Load Testing and Oracle Test Manager.
Although this is useful for demos, for production usage switching to Oracle's 11g
Enterprise Edition database is highly recommended. Oracle 11g Standard Edition
and Oracle 10g EE or SE are also supported.
■ System memory requirements do not take into account other processes that may
be running and using memory on your system, reducing free uncommitted
memory available.
■ When installed on the same machine, Oracle Load Testing and Oracle Test
Manager will run on the same server and use shared system resources. Oracle
Functional Test/OpenScript is a separate application that have its own memory
and CPU requirements.
■ The ATS products will run in 32-bit compatibility mode when installed on 64-bit
operating systems. It is possible for Oracle Application Testing Suite to be installed
on an existing WebLogic server. However, if the pre-installed WebLogic server is
JRockit plus WebLogic (64-bit) environment, some functions in Oracle Application
Testing Suite will not work properly. Oracle Application Testing Suite can be
installed on a 32-bit WebLogic, but not a 64-bit.
■ The legacy Oracle Functional Testing, VB-based scripting platform and associated
components (such as Job Scheduler) are no longer included with the ATS installer
Note: These are minimum requirements only and actual
requirements for Oracle Test Manager will vary depending on the
quantity of test assets stored and number of concurrent users
accessing the application. If you have a large quantity of test cases,
requirements or issues stored and/or are deploying Oracle Test
Manager for a team greater than 10 users, you should consider
deploying Oracle Test Manager on a faster server class machine with
additional RAM recommended.
