Recent (July 2012) article about Oracle Linux on slashdot

Already a couple of days old, but I had some fun reading and adding in a couple of replies.
http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/07/27/0236219/cowboyneal-reviews-oracle-linux

My best guess was that there are a couple of reasons for Oracle Linux:
1) I can imagine that technical aspects resulted in the UEK kernel. The RHEL kernel, at least in RHEL 5 was pretty old, perhaps blocking the development of Oracle's own kernel drivers.
2) Red Hat officially said "Yes, we undercut Oracle with hidden Linux patches", whining that they would steal Red Hat customers. I guess that was a very good reason for Oracle to branch its own kernel.
http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2011/03/04/red_hat_twarts_oracle_and_novell_with_change_to_source_code_packaging
Like I mentioned before, Oracle was the reason why I actually got hooked up to Linux again, actually in order to install Oracle 11g to study for OCP. RHEL was one of the more visible choices, but you cannot register with e.g. gmail, to be able to download RHEL for evaluation.
I checked the timeline of OEL and Solaris. The first version of OEL according to wikipedia dates to May 2007. The acquisition of Sun by Oracle was completed beginning of 2010. So I guess Solaris had bad luck since OEL was already doing the job for the Intel market. In some way I think it is a pitty, because Solaris has a nice user interface and special features, but development on Oracle Linux has continued, e.g. BtrFS, Dtrace.
I think it might take some more time before vendor certification for Oracle Linux (UEK) reaches the same level like RHEL, but I'm sure that will happen. Personally I don't give much about vendor certification, but some do. After all, people use applications, not the OS, so Oracle by "nature" rules over Red Hat, which is just an OS.

    It has been already posted in the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=155441 , but I haven't seen it on the forums.
    You know I didn't even think to look there ..... I think the wiki quite literally has EVERYTHING!

    There is no SSD. Just a bank of EPROM memory. It can't crash.

  • How to configure Oracle Linux 6.5 to request ip address from dhcp server

    I have installed Oracle Linux 6.5 (minimal installation) on a virtual machine created on VMware vSphere 5.5.   I have tried to configure dhcp during the installation by editing IPv4 Settings of System eth0 to use Automatic (DHCP) but somehow it does not work.
    Then I changed the ifcfg-eth0 to use static ip address and that works.
    Here is the content of /etc/sysconfig/network:
    NETWORKING=yes
    HOSTNAME=TESTOL
    Here is the content of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 using static ip address:
    DEVICE=eth0
    TYPE=Ethernet
    UUID=xxxxxxxx.xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    ONBOOT=yes
    NM_CONTROLLED=yes
    BOOTPROTO=none
    HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    IPADDR:##.##.###.###
    PREFIX=24
    GATEWAY=##.##.###.###
    DNS1=##.##.###.###
    DOMAIN:test.com
    DEFROUTE=yes
    PEERDNS=yes
    PEERROUTES=yes
    IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
    IPV6INIT=no
    NAME="System eth0"
    Based on my understanding, I should able to use dhcp by changing ifcfg-eth0 (I commented the parameters not needed for dhcp by adding #) but I have tried the following ifcfg-eth0 and it does not work:
    DEVICE=eth0
    TYPE=Ethernet
    UUID=xxxxxxxx.xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    ONBOOT=yes
    NM_CONTROLLED=yes
    #BOOTPROTO=no
    BOOTPROTO=dhcp
    HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    #IPADDR:##.##.###.###
    #PREFIX=24
    #GATEWAY=##.##.###.###
    DNS1=##.##.###.###
    #DOMAIN:test.com
    DEFROUTE=yes
    PEERDNS=yes
    PEERROUTES=yes
    IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
    IPV6INIT=no
    NAME="System eth0"
    I have also tried to add GATEWAY=##.##.###.### to /etc/sysconfig/network but that does not help.
    I have checked that dhclient package is installed by using rpm -qa dhclient.
    I'm new to Linux.
    Thanks for any help

    If this is your first experience with Oracle Linux, I recommend you perform a default installation instead of going minimal, which is just going to make things more difficult for no good reason. Enterprise Linux is not MS Windows and the difference between default and minimal installations do not compare.
    You also do not want to use the rpm utility to install any software and use yum instead. The yum utility is standard. Rpm does not resolve software dependencies.
    Your ifcfg-eth0 script is missing the line that specifies to use DHCP:
    BOOTPROTO=dhcp
    You can also use the network configuration utility, even in text mode, by typing the following at the command prompt of root:
    system-config-network
    If the above utility is not installed:
    yum install system-config-network-tui
    You will have to configure an appropriate yum repository file. The process is explained in the Oracle Linux release notes:
    https://oss.oracle.com/el6/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U5-en.html
    See 3.2.3. About Oracle Linux Installation Media
    Then insert the DVD or attach the DVD iso image to your virtual machine and mount it as following:
    mkdir -p /media/ISOimage
    mount /dev/cdrom /media/ISOimage
    The path "/media/ISOimage" should be the same as you specified in the yum repository file.
    After that you can use the yum utility to list or install software.

  • About the template FSCM9.1 FP2 Peopletools 8.52.03 (v4 - July 2012)

    Hello,
    Just tested quickly this new template delivered 2 months ago (July 2012).
    As far as I undestand, it is just a recut of the one delivered in April 2012. At least it solves the main issue I reported in that other About the template FSCM9.1 FP2 Peopletools 8.52.03 (v3) about the network prompt missing.
    But I still have remarks/issues on the template FSCM9.1 FP2 Peopletools 8.52.03 (v4) released earlier in July 2012.
    _1. First of all, there a lot of errors reported in /var/log/messages_

    ...Well, I don't know if it triggers others problems yet, but the last line could reveale an error within the /etc/hosts file which has not been properly modified during deployment (especially IPV6, it probably should be removed) :

    Despite I choosed to install Microfocus, COBOL does not work. Sample COBOL processes such as PTPDBTST and PTPDTTST finished in error.
    The log is empty, here below the output from the file $PS_CFG_HOME/psft/pt/8.52/appserv/prcs/PRCSDOM/LOGS/stdout (psadm2) :

    I also use "RCCBL Redirect =1" in psappsrv.cfg (reconfigure and restart appdom), then start the COBOL through menu PeopleTools > Utilities > Debug > PeopleTools Test Utilities, and run a "Remote Call Test".
    I received "COBOL Program PTPNTEST aborted (2,-1) FUNCLIB_UTIL.RC_TEST_PB.FieldChange PCPC:2143 Statement:26", but it generated two empty files (PTPNTEST_VP1_0913064910.out and PTPNTEST_VP1_0913064910.err).
    Next step, checking the folder $PS_HOME/cblbin, it is...er... empty... does this mean COBOL have not been compiled ? Hmmm, I'm pretty sure I replied 'yes' when it was prompted though (still have the screenshots)...
    And we can see several folders dated from today and license seems ok from Microfocus directories :

    [psadm2@psovmfscmfp2 PRCSDOM]$The directory "/opt/oracle/psft/pt/apptools/cblbin" is owned by psadm3 and hosted on the database server (nfs mounted), so I assume we also need to set proper values for env variables, and compile the COBOLs before being able to use them.
    To resume what I did to make the COBOLs working on this PSOVM :
    1. As root, start LMF (this has to be done only once)
    cd /opt/oracle/psft/pt/cobol/microfocus
    ./mflmman
    2. As psadm1, set proper env. variable and compile (setting env variable has to be done each time you want to compile COBOLs)
    export COBDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/cobol/svrexp-51_wp4-64bit
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$COBDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export PATH=$COBDIR/bin:$PATH
    cd $PS_HOME/setup
    ./pscbl.mak
    ./psrun.mak
    3. As psadm2, set proper env. variable and reconfigure psprcs.cfg, restart, restart (setting env variable has to be done each time you want to start the process scheduler, so probably better to append these in the .bash_profile)
    export COBDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/cobol/svrexp-51_wp4-64bit
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$COBDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export PATH=$COBDIR/bin:$PATH
    cd $PS_HOME/appserv
    ./psadmin
    4. Same as step 2, but with user psadm3.
    HTH,
    Nicolas.
    PS: will it be the same issue on the HCM template delivered at the same time ? To be tested as well.
    PS2: and yes, I tested it twice before posting, result is same.
    Edited by: N Gasparotto on Sep 13, 2012 5:17 PM

    Fortunately, the COBOL issue does not exist on PSOVM HCM9.1 FP2 PT8.52.06 delivered in July 2012 (v3). COBOL are properly compiled (tools and app COBOLs), cblbin is not empty and they run successfully on the first shot.

    thanks for reading this contens.
    If you know about this, plz...inform this.At least if you select "desktop" during installation, then the answer is yes. But you have to run the ibus program, log out then log in to complete the process. You only need to run it once.

  • How to compile Oracle Linux source?

    I accidentally downloaded source DVD "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 source - DVD" instead of installable ISO image. Is there anyway I can compile it to make bootable ISO image?
    I tried to search this forum as well as other places but couldn't find any information hence thought of opening a thread before I proceed to download correct file which will again take 10+ hrs with my Internet speed :(
    Any help is highly appreciated. Also I need to know which packages are required to be installed for compiling the source if at all that is possible. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop.
    Thanks in advance for any help and hope to get a reply soon :) I need to urgently install Oracle 11gR2 on it.
    Edited by: user6582219 on Apr 12, 2012 1:10 AM
    While browsing the forum for any possible solution I came to a thread that discuss installation of a package oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall. When searched through search engine I came to know about recent certification Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux 6, here is the link https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/announcing_oracle_database_11g_r2
    https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/announcing_oracle_database_11g_r2
    Thing is I already have Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 (the latest) installed on my machine in dual boot mode so I dropped the idea of installing version 5.2. As per the documentation 11gR2 was not certified earlier on Linux 6.2 so I thought of installing 5.2 but it is not necessary now.
    I would still appreciate if someone could answer my question just for knowing the procedure compiling source. May be it can help someone else trying to achieve this.
    I have another couple of important questions and need guidance from the experts over here. I am not sure if it is appropriate to open a new thread but for now I am posting them here.
    Before proceeding here are my environment details:
    Machine: x86 32 bit with 2 GB RAM/250 GB HD.
    OS: Kubuntu 11.10 Desktop and Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 in dual boot mode.
    Here are my partition details for your reference but as I am planning to do the installation from the scratch following new ideal scheme you can jump to last paragraph following the line "*********************************" for my questions.
    Unfortunately my partition plan went wrong and here is what I have now:
    Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders, total 488397168 sectors
    Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0x3d5ba9e1
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 * 2048 1002047 500000 83 Linux
    /dev/sda2 151525080 361253654 104864287+ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
    /dev/sda4 1003518 151001087 74998785 5 Extended
    /dev/sda5 1003520 7002111 2999296 82 Linux swap / Solaris
    /dev/sda6 7004160 11001855 1998848 83 Linux
    /dev/sda7 11003904 51001343 19998720 83 Linux
    /dev/sda8 51003392 110041087 29518848 83 Linux
    Partition table entries are not in disk order
    /dev/sda1 here is /tmp, /dev/sda2 is my data partition, I have separate /home / (root) partition for Kubuntu and remianing around 20 GB in extended partition is used for Oracle Linux 6.2 with default Oracle suggested LVM partition. I also have separate /boot for Kubuntu and I chose not to install grub while installing Oracle Linux. I later modified grub.cfg to add entries for Oracle Linux and now I can boot both OSs successfully.
    My issue now is I cannot extend 20 GB space (in extended partition) that I have given to Oracle though I have around 40 GB space available. This is because I alreay have 4 primary partitions (one for /boot others for "data" and one extended partition). So I have to make primary partition out of free space and install Oracle in a single partition without following recommended partition layout scheme.
    Now I want to do the installation of both the OS from the scratch and really need an advice on partition layout scheme. Here is summary of what I wan to achieve:
    1. Keep the "data" partition (primary) intact and carve an ideal partition layout for both the OS with separate /boot, /tmp, /home, swap (and may be for /usr???). Also may be I can share swap?
    2. How do I go about using LVM and is it recommended for this case? What would be ideal locations for each partitions and sizes? I already used 100 GB for "data" so now I want to keep 60 GB for Oracle Linux (and Oracle DB for which I will again make few sub-partitions) and remaining will be for Kubuntu.
    Well, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask these questions but since I can see very knowlegeable top contributors here that are willing to help novice users I thought of posting these questions.
    I would really really appreciate if someone can provide me rough draft of partition scheme in my case considering the sub-partitions needed for Oracle DB. I went thorugh number of forums and documentations to come up with solutuion and finally thought of getting help after much confusion.
    I really need to carefully plan this time because it's third time I am doing reinstallation from the scratch because of poor plan I followed previously.
    Thank you very much in advance and please let me know in case more information is needed from my side.
    Regards,
    Ramesh

    I accidentally downloaded source DVD "Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 2 source - DVD" instead of installable ISO image. Is there anyway I can compile it to make bootable ISO image?Google will be your best friend for such a question, for instance, "Creating a Custom centos Linux bootable ISO Image". There is no need to duplicate the effort. I recommend you download the correct installation DVD, e.g. 5.8
    Thing is I already have Oracle Linux 6 Update 2 (the latest) installed on my machine in dual boot mode so I dropped the idea of installing version 5.2. As per the documentation 11gR2 was not certified earlier on Linux 6.2 so I thought of installing 5.2 but it is not necessary now.So you don't need to install 5.2 anymore, but you want the information how to compile a installation DVD from the 5.2 source anyway?!
    I have another couple of important questions and need guidance from the experts over here. I am not sure if it is appropriate to open a new thread but for now I am posting them here.Questions may be important for you, but not necessarily for others. No one will complain if you create a new thread for particular questions or subjects. It is better to separate your topics and questions rather than creating a multi-mega thread, which does little to help anyone else but you. It means more work on your end, but it will be easier for anyone to participate or answer your questions, and it will allow you to better award answers.
    Regarding your partitioning questions: It is generally difficult to address such topics in a forum. You are asking for a book of information. My advice is to drop the old fashioned concepts of dual or triple boot options and install Oracle VirtualBox instead. It will make all of these questions obsolete and you can use whatever defaults when installing your virtual machine guest OS. Its a far more superior way of dealing with multiple operating systems on one and the same computer.
    I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop.
    I need to urgently install Oracle 11gR2 on it.For what it's worth, if you can combine the two source below you should be able to install and run 11gR2 on Ubuntu 11.10.

  • Oracle Linux 6.4 Bootable disk?

    Hello, I am about to download Oracle Linux 6.4 and install it on a 32 bit computer.
    How can I make a bootable disk so when I reboot this computer it goes straight into the install process?
    Do I download Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 for x86 (32 Bit) and then download Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 Boot iso image for x86 (32 bit)?
    Do i burn the content of the Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 Boot iso image for x86 (32 bit) on the same disk as the  Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 4 for x86 (32 Bit)?
    Can someone please tell me how to do this?

    Installing a 32-bit OS on reasonable and recent hardware does not make sense. It will only limit your addressable memory and disk space for no good reason.
    Anyway, you need to download the binary software distribution image, which is about 2 - 4 GB. You do not need the boot or source media.
    Before burning the DVD, make sure to verify the checksum of the downloaded ISO image. It is not unlikely that the download is corrupted and won't work properly.
    You can find the checksum value when clicking the View Digest button on the E-Delivery software download web page.
    Under Microsoft Windows, see the following knowledgebase article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290
    Under Linux and Mac OS X, enter the following at the system command prompt (Terminal):
    openssl sha1 name.iso
    The checksum must match!
    To burn the iso image to DVD:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Burn-a-CD-or-DVD-from-an-ISO-file
    For information using Apple Mac OS X and older versions of MS Windows:
    http://www.wikihow.com/Burn-ISO-Files-to-DVD
    And last not least, remember to set the media startup priorities of you computer BIOS accordingly: Floppy, DVD, Harddrive, Network.

  • Certification of Oracle Linux 6 with Oracle Database 11gR2?

    Dear Oracle Corporation,
    You released Oracle Database 11gR2 in September, 2009.
    Then, you released Oracle Linux 6 on 12 Feb 2011.
    Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.1 on 1 Jun 2011.
    Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.2 on 20 Dec 2011.
    And, here we are on 21 Feb 2012, and you still have not certified Oracle Database 11gR2 (your most recent and up to date version of the database that's currently available!) with Oracle Linux 6!
    You think you'll get around to that, any time soon?
    All my love,
    -Mark

    Hi Hans;
    Thanks for answer ;)
    Because it is not a certifiaction issue. It is a timing issue, and that is in the hands of the legal department. Support can do absolutely nithing about it, and if they indicate a date, the Support Analyst will likely get fired.Please imagine, let us say my company always prefer to work lastest version of server,oracle products and also OS because of company policy. If I want to use 11gR2 with lastest version there is no problem. Because Oracle suggest to use lastest oracle version because of new futures wiht less bugs. So in my company happy with to use lastes oracle products and my company always want to work oracle linux. Big bosses ask the manager " Why we are still using old OEL 5.x version, there are already new products avaliable at market, If oracle 5.x perfect why they made annoucement new products, If they not certified wiht their other products why they create new OS, is it bad to use *nix 6 instead of 5?
    So I wonder thah question and Dont I have a right to get to find some answers from oracle which I pay xxx$million dolar each year for their products and their metalink support.
    So if its timing issue and let us say again I am only using windows not any other OS. Why oracle publish same product for different OS? If its timing issue than there are huge difference between annoucement
    You released Oracle Database 11gR2 in September, 2009.
    Then, you released Oracle Linux 6 on 12 Feb 2011.
    Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.1 on 1 Jun 2011.
    Then, you released Oracle Linux 6.2 on 20 Dec 2011.2009 and 2012 ? It isnt big timing issue? :)
    Anyway thanks for answer once more.. Let us see when some product will be certified wiht newer OS.
    Regards

  • Dual  Boot Pre install Windows 7 with  oracle linux  on a dell laptop

    I'm new in linux. want to install oracle linux on my dell aptop. it has existing windows 7. how can i install oracle linux without affecting win 7 files.
    is oracle linux can be install on laptop.

    My advice to you is, since you have established such a reputation on this board, on issues that you don't have any knowledge or don't feel comfortable about, please just keep quiet. I don't think your job is to answer every question that has been posted on this board. Recklessly, or worse, knowingly, providing a wrong answer is much worse than no answer at all. These are serious personal accusations. Are you trying to make some noise to create some visibility for yourself? Please don't steal any of my limelight! ;-)
    Personally, I don't particularly appreciiate many of your responses to some of the questions that I posted. To me, your responses are rude, idiotic (and insults to my intelligence)!Sorry, I have no idea what makes you so upset. Are you just making this up? What questions and answers are you taking about?
    Are you referring to this post: Ralink RT5390 Does Not Work on the UEK Kernel
    May I quote/remind you of your own posting:
    We installed OL6.3 and Ubuntu 12.04 on a new Asus X45A notebook. It has a Ralink RT5390 wireless card. With Ubuntu, both wifi and video work flawlessly. However, the wifi driver (from elrepo) does not work for the the uek kernel (2.6.39). While the wifi driver works when boot into the RHEL kernel (2.6.32), it created an "even bigger problem" in that the video starts at about 1/10 from the left edge of the screen.
    But again, please no one be fooled by my overly optimistic and simplistic comments*. The reality is, I am glad OL6 desktop works at all.
    * For example, I actually installed OL6 on 4 notebooks, one of them "does not work" because I couldn't dim the screen. I did not intend to lie, but subconsciously, I somewhat forgot that there was this failed case.
    So what are you really trying to tell us/me here?
    I think you have shot yourself in the foot here. I'm afraid the best I can offer to you is to remove my response if you remove your post.

  • New installation woes - SQLDeveloper on Oracle Linux x64 and Oracle 11g XE

    Note that as an experienced Oracle developer in enterprise environments running MS Windows OS, I am familiar with SQLDeveloper for Windows. I don't have a lot of experience with Linux however. I don't find it intimidating, I just don't have a lot of accumulated knowledge.
    I have recently been trying to set up a development environment on my Windows7 Professional x64 laptop.
    1. Installed Oracle VBox
    2. Installed Oracle Linux 5.2 inside the VBox (because Oracle 11g XE is not certified on 64 bit Windows, needed to go with a Linux OS)
    3. Installed Oracle DB 11.2 XE
    4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
    5. Installed SQLDeveloper 3.1.07.42-1
    No apparent issues with any of the installations.
    Problem : I can run SQL Plus from the command line, but when I click on the icon for SQLDeveloper, nothing happens. No error messages, nothing else.
    Question #1 : Unsure how to debug/troubleshoot this. Will read through the installation and release notes for SQLDeveloper, but any suggestions would be welcome.
    Question #2 : Could this be due to an issue with the JDK installation? It appeared to be successful (no obvious issues) but I can't see anything in the Oracle Linux menu system that tells me the JDK was installed successfully. How can I confirm that the JDK installation was successful?

    The Linux x64 version of SQLDeveloper doesn't come bundled with JDK. There is a version of JDK recommended, with an advisory to install it before installing SQLDeveloper. This I did, with apparent success. I guess I'll have to install the JDK again and check my Java versions afterwards. Thanks.
    >
    I don't know what JDK you downloaded since you didn't say. What version was it? Post the link.
    I find it hard to believe that the JDK version recommended was 1.4.2 since that is an ANCIENT version of Java, you have to hunt to even find it for download and most importantly the sql developer main download page clearly announces what version of Java is needed.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
    >
    JDK Support
    Oracle SQL Developer 3.1 is shipped with JDK1.6.0_11. However, you can connect to and use any JDK 1.6.0_11 or above. To use an existing JDK, download the zip files listed below "with JDK already installed."
    >
    As you can see you need JDK 1.6.0_11 or above.
    If the version you say was recommended was actually 1.4.2 then that is an error; post the details so the developers can get that error fixed.
    I don't know what is on your system and can only go by the information you provide
    >
    4. Installed JDK as instructed in the SQLDeveloper release notes for Linux x64
    java version "1.4.2"
    >
    You either downloaded version 1.4.2, which seems unlikely, or your Linux included 1.4.2 and it is being used when you try to launch sql developer.
    Perhaps your system now has multiple versions of Java on it but the version being used by sql developer is the wrong one. If so that is the issue you need to resolve.

  • Oracle Linux 6.2 restarts randomly

    Hi all,
    I'm having problems with Oracle Linux server i recently set up.
    I'm running Oracle Linux 6.2 with UEK2 (2.6.39-100.7.1.el6uek.x86_64) and all latest updates from public yum server on VMware eSX 4.1i & VMWare tools installed.
    I've been noticing that when I'm connected with SSH to my server I randomly get an error that the connection is lost and all connected sessions fail. It all happens so quickly that I can not check via console if the server really rebooted.
    But the data from last reboot command is kinda strange - output bellow.
    How it's possible that all last three uptimes are being incremented at once?
    Is the server really restarting or is there any timeout on ssh sessions or what is the problem here?
    What can I check more?

  • Oracle Linux 6 and Oracle DB for ERP System

    All,
    I have a few questions about using Oracle Linux 6 and the Oracle Database for our ERP Server. We are using a System that run off of Appache httpd and Tomcat and connects to an Oracle Database. We currently are running as a hardware installed server, with Oracle Linux 5 and 10gR2. We are looking to migrate to a Virtual environment as we run VMWare for all our other Servers and services. I have started the install of a development/test system. I wanted to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 x86_64 along with either 10gR2 or 11gR2. I noticed that 10gR2 was not certified on OEL6 hence why the thought of moving to 11gR2. The one issue I have is the ERP system is not a x86_64 system is there any way of running 32 bit apps on a 64bit OEL install? I would need to compile a few small 32bit C code programs so would need 32bit libs to compile against. Any support would be greatly appreciated. I know that OEL has an i386 install but I also know that the x86_64 has more support for Oracle DB.
    P.S.
    Our ERP System is programmed via a small company that does not certify anything. They have taken the approach if it works it works (not happy with this but it is what it is). So the main issue is I need to get Appache Httpd, Tomcat running along with ability to compile a few small 32bit apps.

    x86-64 is an extension of the x86 32-bit CISC instruction set. The 64-bit extension provides support for long mode to address larger virtual and physical address spaces.
    You can generally run 32-bit applications on a x86_64 bit CPU and a x86_64 kernel, provided you have the appropriate i386 libraries installed. When you install Oracle 11gR2 11.2.0.1 for x86_64, appropriate i386 libraries are a prerequisite.
    Since x86 on a x86_64 CPU is still hardware, there will be no performance penalty to run 32-bit application. Btw, you cannot run 64-bit applications using a i386 kernel. The only exception I know is Mac OS X.

  • Basic Questions about Oracle E-Business Suite

    I am just now starting to learn about Oracle E-Business Suite.
    I am an Oracle DBA, and I want to become an "Oracle Apps DBA".
    The following questions pertain to the DATABASE side of E-Business:
    *(1)* Is "Oracle E-Business Suite", and "Oracle Applications 11i" the
    same product?
    *(2)* Is Release 12, the current version of E-Business Suite?
    *(3)* What is the Release of E-Business Suite that most Businesses are
    currently using?
    *(4)* I want to use 1GB of RAM, for the Laptop, that I want to install
    E-Business Suite on, and it will be running under Oracle
    Enterprise Linux -- Will this type of setup be OK for building a
    personal training and learning environment (especially RAM size)?
    *(5)* How much disk space do I need, just to do a basic install (no
    demo databases)?

    Hi,
    *(1)* Is "Oracle E-Business Suite", and "Oracle Applications 11i" the
    same product?Yes, it even includes R12.
    *(2)* Is Release 12, the current version of E-Business Suite?Yes, the most recent versions of R12 are (12.1.1 and 12.1.2).
    *(3)* What is the Release of E-Business Suite that most Businesses are
    currently using?Depends, some customer still on 11i while other customer managed to upgrade to R12 (or did a fresh installation/implementation of R12).
    *(4)* I want to use 1GB of RAM, for the Laptop, that I want to install
    E-Business Suite on, and it will be running under Oracle
    Enterprise Linux -- Will this type of setup be OK for building a
    personal training and learning environment (especially RAM size)?1 GB RAM is not enough, I would suggest you have 4 GB RAM (or more if possible).
    *(5)* How much disk space do I need, just to do a basic install (no
    demo databases)?This is documented in the installation manual, please refer to it to get the hardware requirements.

  • Oracle Linux NTFS how-to

    h1. Oracle Linux NTFS how-to
    Author: Dude
    Version: B, 22-Jan-2012
    h2. Purpose
    This document contains instructions how to install NTFS support under Oracle Enterprise Linux version 4, 5 and Oracle Linux version 5 and 6.
    h2. Topics
    1) Determine Kernel Architecture and Distribution
    2) Setup Software Repositories
    3) Install the NTFS Kernel Driver and Software
    4) Find and Mount a NTFS Device
    5) Notes
    h3. 1) Determine Kernel Architecture and Distribution
    Open a Terminal command prompt and enter the following to check if your system is x86 or x86_64:
    # uname -m
    x86_64If you see "i686" or "i386" instead then your system is x86.
    # cat /etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 9)The above example shows you are running Enterprise Linux version 4.9
    h3. 2) Setup Software Repositories
    You will need to setup access to two software repositories.
    Oracle ULN or public yum:
    The installation of RPM software packages can be complex due to software conflicts or package dependencies. It is easier to use a software manager like "yum", which will automatically resolve package dependencies and prompt you to download required software if necessary.
    For those who do not have a support subscription and access to Oracle ULN, Oracle provides a public YUM software repository to give you free online access to the standard software distributions. Simply follow the instructions outlined at http://public-yum.oracle.com. You only need to enable the software repository that matches your version according to the previous step.
    Reproforge:
    The NTFS driver is provided by the Repoforge alias RPMforge software repository. For more information about Repoforge, please see http://repoforge.org/faq. NTFS-3G is a stable, full-featured, read-write NTFS driver for Linux and other operating systems. For more information check http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download, where you can also download the source code should you prefer to compile your own NTFS driver.
    Depending on your current distribution and kernel architecture, you need to install the following:
    Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x x86:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
    Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x x86_64:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el4.rf.x86_64.rpm
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.x x86:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.i386.rpm
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.x x86_64:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
    Oracle Linux 6.x x86:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm
    Oracle Linux 6.x x86_64:
    # wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpmh3. 3) Install the NTFS Kernel Driver and Related Software
    The software packages required to support NTFS depends on your current Linux distribution:
    Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.x:
    # yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.0 - 5.2:
    # yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.3:
    NTFS support under Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 is broken and you should consider to upgrade to the 5.4 or later. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481495)
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 5.4 - 5.x:
    As of Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 the the kernel fuse module (dkms, dkms-fuse) is included in the kernel and should not be installed.
    # yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g
    Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Linux 6.x:
    # yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g h3. 4) Find and Mount a NTFS Device
    You can use the "blkid" command to identify attached devices. For instance:
    sudo blkid
    /dev/sda1: LABEL="/boot" UUID="73efxxxxxxxxxxxxx_TYPE="ext3" TYPE="ext2"
    /dev/dm-0: UUID="22a2d704-f75dxxxxxxx595df" SEC_TYPE="ext3" TYPE="ext2"
    /dev/dm-1: TYPE="swap" UUID="3b74fxxxxxx411c-8671-2244b8735866"
    /dev/sdb1: TYPE="ntfs"
    {code}
    In the above example, device "/dev/sdb1" contains a NTFS partition.
    To mount the NTFS volume according to above example under the /mnt directory:
    {code}
    sudo mount.ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt
    {code}
