Red hat Linux support for Oracle

Hi! Can some body tell me which version of Red Hat Linux is supported. I was told that Oracle supports only upto Red hat 7.1 for Oracle 8.1.7.3.
thanks

I installed 9iAS on RedHat 7.3, see my post at:
Re: SQL query report columns
I don't know about versions < 7.3, but 7.3 by default includes kde 3 :)

Guide for Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Linux AS for Oracle9i Database

I put together a step-by-step guide for tuning and optimizing Red Hat Linux Advanced Server for Oracle9i. It's my first draft version and I would appreciate any comments and feedback.
The article
"Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Linux Advanced Server for Oracle9i Database"
can be found at:
http://www.puschitz.com/TuningLinuxForOracle.shtml
The article
"Oracle 9i Installation on Red Hat Linux 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, and on Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1"
can now be found at http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml
And both links for
"Oracle on Red Hat Linux"
can be found at
http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml

Is this good for Redhat Linux 9.0 and not just the advanced server.
If it is not could you please provide me the links to articles like,
"Guide for Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Linux for Oracle9i Database"
"Guide for Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Linux for Oracle9i App Server"
"Guide for Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Linux for Oracle9i Infrastucture"

Where can I get Red Hat Linux AS for Installing 10G

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 10G on RedHat Linux 8.0 and the installer is existing with error message(Requires Redhat 2.1 or 3). Is RedHat 2.1 is free downloadable and could some one point the URL where I can download.

I guess business economics and supportability has made Oracle to release products only on (a few) "enterprise class" distributions of linux. RHEL 2.1 & 3 has a subscription fee for support (one of Oracles requirements?), so it's not free downloadable (RHEL 3 is downloadable within RHN but not free).
Maybe they should look to their Unbreakable Linux campaign and release developer versions of the operating systems. With both products and os released under developer licenses, maybe they'll get support from individuals and smaller companies...

Oracle 8i/9i and Red Hat Linux version

Hi,
Does anyone know, which is the earliest version of Red Hat Linux
supported by Oracle 8i or 9i?
Regards

Hi,
I downloaded the 9i, the installation started ok and I was
able to complete the install procedure, but a few things did not
go as I planned:
1.- The installation MUST be run on the console X, and cannot
be run from a remote terminal (odd!).
2.- On a 2-CPU machine the installation didn't install all the
files for the sistem to start.
3.- During a second attempt the installer issued an error
regarding a compilation problem.
Can anyone help me, I can't get the installer running without
problems.

Installation of OracleAS 10g on Red Hat Linux ES 3.0

Installation of Oracle AS 10g on RedHat ES 3.0
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
Copy from OTN Note
Start
Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
3.     Language Selection
o     Accept the default.
4.     Keyboard Configuration
o     Accept the default.
5.     Welcome Screen
o     Click on Next.
6.     Mouse Configuration
o     Accept the default.
7.     Installation Type
o     Select Custom.
8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
(WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
- 100MB /boot partition
-1,500MB swap partitionâSet this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
-7,150MB root partitionâ This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
9.     Boot Loader Configuration
o     Accept the default.
10.     Network Configuration
o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
11.     Firewall Configuration
o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
12.     Additional Language Support
o     Accept the default.
13.     Time Zone Selection
o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
14.     Set Root Password
o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.
15.     Package Group Selection
o     Select only the package sets shown here. Leave all others unselected.
o     Desktop
- X Window System
- Gnome
- KDE
- See my comments in the RHES 2.1 section regarding choice of GUI.
o     Applications
- Editors
- Graphical Internet
o     Servers

o     Development
- Development Tools
o     System

o     Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Do not select anything in this group.
o     Miscellaneous
- Legacy Software Development
o     Click on Next to proceed.
16.     About to Install
o     Click on Next.
17.     Installing Packages
o     Software will be copied to the hard disk and installed. Change disks as prompted, and click on Next when the installation is complete.
18.     Graphical Interface (X) Configuration
o     Accept the defaults unless the installer does not recognize your video card. If your video card is not recognized, you will not be able to continue.
19.     Monitor Configuration
o     Accept the default if the installer correctly identifies your monitor. Otherwise, select a compatible monitor from the list.
20.     Customize Graphical Configuration
o     Accept the defaults.
21.     Congratulations
o     Remove the installation media from the system, and click on Next.
22.     The system automatically reboots and presents a new welcome screen.
o     Click on Next.
23.     License Agreement
o     Read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, select Yes, I agree to the License Agreement and click on Next.
24.     Date and Time
o     Set the Date and Time.
o     If you want to use an NTP server (recommended), select Enable Network Time Protocol and enter the name of the NTP server.
25.     User Account
o     Create an account for yourself.
o     Do not create an account for oracle at this time. Creating the oracle account is covered later in this section.
26.     Red Hat Network
o     If you want to use or activate your Red Hat Network account now, accept the default, click on Next, and follow the product activation instructions that accompanied your Red Hat product.
27.     Additional CDs
o     Click on Next.
28.     Finish Setup
o     Click on Next.

There will no error in installation in infrastructure
Same as done with relink file in Middle tier installation. I would like to turn ur attention for a serious problem no one asked about it. Here u have seen that a script make 3 file in /usr/local/bin for infrastructure and middle tier when u finished infrastructureâs installation plz rename that 3 files as
Mv coredb coredb-infra
Mv dbhome dbhome-infra
Mv ora     â¦     oraâ¦-infra
If u overwrite that files by creating same name of middle tier files no problem.
When problem comes?
AS will work fine but when u have to install patches on AS then problem comes if u have overwrite that files. So plz rename them before creation of same files of middle tier. Thanx

Installing Oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux

Hi,
I am new with Linux Os and have to install oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux Os for a customer. So before proceeding, I need some guidelines.
1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setup
Regards
Edited by: user640001 on Feb 25, 2011 5:44 AM

1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?Ordinarily, I'd recommend getting Oracle Linux (http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux) because the default install includes all the prerequisite RPM packages you will need. And failing that, also offers another RPM package "oracle-validated" which will cause the installation of the necessary prerequisites.
But... you mentioned customer: if this is a revenue-producing situation and customer money is at stake, I strongly recommend they obtain commercial O/S support with either Oracle, Red Hat, or maybe SuSE/Novell. Compared to the cost of a downed business, an O/S support arrangement is cheap, cheap, cheap.
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?Sure. You can run Oracle VirtualBox on most Linux, Windows, or Solaris boxes. http://VirtualBox.org for info.
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?No real differences in either environment.
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setupWhat, you didn't try http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux yet?

Oracle 8i Internet for Red Hat Linux

Hi all,
Can any one help me on this. I have setting up Red Hat Linux 6.2 and JRE 1.1.6v5-glibc also installed on /usr/local/jre directory. But when I try to run "runInstaller" from the oracle cdrom. I have the following error:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre Please wait ...
Error in Create OUIProcess(): -1
:Bad address
Any one can tell me what is the problem.
Thank you

Let me try again. I was to fast with the enter key. There is a known bug with the installer. The work around is to use the runInstall.sh that is in the subdirectory /install/linux. If you have your environment variables setup correctly this should work, also you need a minimum of 128 meg of ram on the machine.
Hope this helps.

Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat Linux on a Dell Poweredge

We have a Dell PowerEdge 6400 server with PERC 2/DC raid
controllers.
We have installed Red Hat Linux 6.2.
According to the installation guide in order to install Oracle
8.1.7 we need to recompile the Kernal to get to version 2.2.19-
6.2.7.
Recompiling the Kernal causes a failure in the Raid controllers.
I realise that this isn't strictly Oracle but I wondered if
anyone had met this problem before. It appears virtually
impossible to configure this combination to support Oracle.

Yes there is a lot of information out there. Oracle 8.1.6,
8.1.7, 9 on Linux 6, 7, 9.
Which glibc? binutils? compat-libs?
For 8.1.7 on Redhat 9
Please try: http://www3.sympatico.ca/arothmel/oracle/817.html
Still evolving. Feedback welcome :)

Oracle 9i installation on Red Hat Linux 9 URGENT

hi,
I live in london, I have tried a lot to install Oracle 9i Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 9, but couldn't do it, can any one help me to install it, I am ready to pay and visit any place in london for that purpose in the evening, if any one can help my mobiel number 07832 077672
best regards
asif

If you are only trying to learn, I would recommend either Fedora FC4 or OpenSuSE 10, and I would recommend installing ORacle Express Edition if you do not need advanced Oracle stuff (or you are not learning for OCP).
Again, use Werner's excellent site - http://www.puschitz.com or Ivan Kartik's site - http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora9_fedora.html to get good instruciton on installation.
If you want a free version that is as close to a supported Linux as legally possible, consider using WhiteBoxLinux.org, TaoLinux.org or CentOS.org linux. These are clones of RedHat Enterprise (the one that is supported). Or you could contact Novell.com and ask for an evaluation kit for SLES9.

Configuring startWebLogic.sh for Red Hat Linux 7.2

I was successful in configuring and executing startWeblogic.cmd, but have not been
so lucky getting the equivalent to run on Red Hat 7.2 using startWebLogic.sh.
For starters, even before I began editing startWeblogic.sh and just tried running
I received the following error:
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
startWebLogic.sh: line 59: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
'tartWebLogic.sh: line 59: `elif [ ! -f $WL_HOME/lib/weblogic.jar ]; then
I've included both my startWebLogic.cmd and startWebLogic.sh files so that you
can see what I'm trying to port to the sh file. I'm hoping I'm close to getting
this to execute and run within Linux so please accept my thanks in advance to
anyone who might have some suggestions. Interestingly enough I was able to get
wls to start using ant, but that is obviously only good for my development env.
The point being I'm hoping I'm close to reaching a solution.
Below is what my startWebLogic.cmd file looks like:
@echo off

@rem the server is started using the config.xml file found in this directory and
@rem that the CLASSPATH is set correctly. This script contains the following variables:

@rem JAVA_HOME - Determines the version of Java used to start
@rem WebLogic Server. This variable must point to the
@rem root directory of a JDK installation and will be set
@rem for you by the WebLogic Server installer. Note that
@rem this script uses the hotspot VM to run WebLogic Server.
@rem If you choose to use a JDK other than the one

How to upgrdae Oracle Cluster on Red Hat Linux 3 to Red hat Linux 4 AS U 7

We need to upgrade our Clustered (2 Nodes) Oracle Database environment on Linux environment to Red Hat 4 AS 7. The current OS version is Red Hat 3 update 6. We use EMC SAN Storage as shared storage (OCFS and Raw Devices) for our 9i and 10g databases
Question: We will install (on local disks) Red Hat 4 AS Update 7 and then install ocfs and ASMlib RPMs. Is there any risk of loosing the existing (on Red Hat 3 update 6) ocfs file systems and raw devices (from EMC SAN Storgae) after we do fresh install of OS and ocfs and ASMlib RPMs? How can we keep the shared storage data quickly available (without restore from the backup) to the system after installing Red Hat 4 AS Update 7 and mentioned RPMs?

Is it possible to download current Red Hat Linux for learning purpose?

Hi,
Is it possible to download current Red Hat Linux for learning purpose? On their website, you either have to purchase the regular version or download a 30-day evaluation version.
Thanks.

How different is Enterprise Linux compared to Fedora?To add Sergio's post, Fedora and Enterprise Linux are based on RedHat distribution. Fedora is non commercial distribution and is very popular. Enterprise Linux is quite new (name of distribution) in the Linux world (announced at the end of october) and it is clone (as Sergio said) of RH EL 4 U4.
All I need is an opportunity to learn Unix/Linux.Any of Linux distributions will give to you this opportunity. And for learning of Linux Fedora is good enough.
Is Enterprise Linux more popular?
Popular than what? Fedora? It is too soon... (IMHO). Enterprise Linux is ideal candidate for productions systems which needs official support and (of course) systems which where Oracle products will be running on. In this scope (commmercial sphere) Enterprise Linux will become popular than Fedora (which has support only from volunteers) but I don't think that Enterprise Linux will be more popular as Fedora at all...

Kindly give all your valuable suggestions asap....... awaitng your reply

See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/clientsod_forms10g.html for information on officially supported configs.
The only certification I can see for Redhat is using Sun JPI 1.4.2. The Sun JPI certification was added with the latest patchset (9.0.4.2.0). I know Oracle was planning on certifying Forms 10.1.2 for Sun JPI 1.4.2 and 1.5, but I'm not sure if they managed in the end. Forms 10.1.2 is already available.
We decided to go for Sun JPI and not JInitiator because we have hundreds of external users. Their sysadmins are much more comfortable installing Sun JPI then they are installing the (unknown) Oracle JInitiator.
I've written a number of blog articles about our Sun JPI confguration at http://www.oratransplant.nl/category/oracle/forms/
