Reliable Linux Distribution. Question to Oracle Team

I would like to know which linux distribution may I use to have Oracle products running? Which linux distribution/version is used by the Oracle team? I don't want to get the problems I'm having now always when I try to upgrade the Oracle. This not happens with other comercial OS's like Solaris and WindowsNT.

Use Red Hat 6.2.
I've been using RH 6.2 for a while now, and never had any problem related to oracle.

Linux distributions supported on Oracle 8i and 9i

Hello,
Can you please provide me with the web page which compiles certification information on Linux distributions for 8i and 9i, I cannot seem to find a page which does such a compilation.
Also, this is to the responder - do you work for Oracle?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah I saw that but...
Which version of Oracle can I install?
I have RH 9.0 basic version ($30.00 from best buy).
I am interested in learning Oracle with Linux for my own personal use at home.
ie
I used to have Oracle Personal 8i on my Windows 98 SE machine. Now I see Oracle Server for RH AS 9.0 (or something) and no Oracle 9i or 8i for RH 9.0 most basic edition.
Sorry... Linux begginner and I forgot my version of RH 9.0.
I am a C++ developer on Windows and use the OCI 7 and 8 wih MSVC 6.0 (at work). I would like to use same OCI wrapper with C at home on Linux.
Thanks

Attention! About problems with Oracle 8.1.6 on newer Linux distributions!!

Hello all, I've just got some feedback from a helful person at http://www.crunge.com/ about the problems concerning RedHat Linux 7.0 and Oracle 8.1.6, this MAY apply to other newer linux distributions.
I've tried, without luck, to install Oracle on RedHat 7.0 and Slackware 7 (the newest one), and it would not install properly, kept stopping right about when the database initialization started at 80% finished install procedure. Sp i wrote them a mail, not expecting an answer really, but I did got an answer, and below is what the person said;
Thanks for the feedback.
Oracle 8.1.6 does not work under Red Hat Linux 7. Yes, that's the problem
that I mentioned in the doc--you get to 80% and the DBCA crashes and the
Oracle executables die.
I've heard, but I haven't tried it myself, that if you install the latest
glibc errata (2.1.94) then the DBCA completes but the Oracle executables
still die. The DBCA problem was apparently a Java issue that is fixed in
the errata. But you're still out of luck since the exes won't work.
It might appear that this is a problem with Red Hat Linux 7. But it appears
that it is a problem with some assumptions that Oracle made, assumptions
that worked with glibc 2.1.3 (the C library included with RHL 6.2) but which
prove false with later glibc versions. As other Linux distributions adopt
the new glibc Oracle will fail to work on them as well.
The best advice I can give at this point is to install and run Oracle on
Red Hat Linux 6.2. Hopefully Oracle will address the glibc issues with the
8.1.7 release.
Chris
p.s. Do not construe this
as an official Red Hat response; I merely forwarded your e-mail from my
home account. This response and the web pages I put up are mine.
So i guess one sollution to the problem is to try a bit older version of the linux you are having problems with (i tried it on RH 6.1 and it worked like a dream).
Another solution can be to wait it out to check and see if Oracle put a fix out here on technet...?
Hope this helps people bogged down in fustration.

OK, so i followed your instructions to the letter (several times), sure I get past the 80% bug but now I have new erros coming up , -"Error in invoking target install of makefile /usr/oracle/sqlplus/lib/ins_sqlplus.mk". I get a whole series of these errors for various mk files. These errors apear during the link phase of the install, prior to the glibc workaround I was not getting this. I am a newbie to Linux and trying to give it a serious go but so far I have had little luck
Any help appreciated.

Installation problem on Linux Slackware 7.1 (Oracle 8i)

I try install Oracle 8i Enterprise in Linux Slackware 7.1 (kernel 2.2.16), but the runInstaller don't work.
I read the installation manuals and make all steps, but the runInstaller don't work.
I get this message:
./runInstaller
The Java RunTime Environment was not found at bin/jre. Hence, the Oracle Universal Installer cannot be run.
Please visit http://www.javasoft.com and install JRE version 1.1.8 or higher and try again.
: No such file or directory
I try --> ln -s /usr/local/jre118_v3 /usr/local/java
and --> ln -s /usr/local/jre118_v3 /usr/local/jre
and put in PATH --> /usr/local/jre/bin
Nothing work's.
Somebody can help me ?????
Thank's ....

Hello!
I also tried to install Oracle 8.1.6.1 (after giving up the 8.0.5 installation due to segmentation faults all over..), it also failed.
After trying to install Oracle 8.1.6.1 on RedHat 7.0 and it still crashed, i sent a mail to some guru that wrote the oracle-how-to document for redhat, here is what he replied.
My guess is that this also applies to the newest slackware version, because i presume that slackware 7.0 also use the newest glibc libraries;

A few question regarding oracle Vm (and virtualizing Db 11g)

Hi,
I've just started evaluating Oracle vm for our next deployment.
One of the systems I'll need to virtualize is Oracle db 11g. As far as I understand the oracle DB template only comes with ASM? I would prefer to use LVM. What is the best way to install db into virtual machine without asm? Should I start with EL 5.2 and configure it, or could I somehow use the EL that comes with the template?
Regarding LVM: I'm planning to create different volume groups, each with just one logical volume. These volumes would be mounted to guest as /u01, /u02 ... and so on. All volumes will be created on mirrored disks/partitions. Later, I could just move, expand, strip volumes as db usage will require. Does that sound ok?
And another question regardin oracle vm: in the manual, chapter 4.6.2 says: "Install an operating system. This may be done a number of ways.
■ Install an Oracle VM Server-enabled operating system from CD-ROMs...."
Is there a list of server-enabled operating systems anywhere? And maybe more detailed explanation of this step?
Thanks

The Database template is designed to automatically configure and provision the database with ASM and would probably take longer to dismantle.

It is also faster (particularly on Oracle VM, as it uses direct access to the disks). ASM also does automatic data levelling and striping. With 11g, I would strongly recommand ASM over LVM for your storage.
Is there a list of server-enabled operating systems anywhere? And maybe more detailed explanation of this step?There isn't a list -- that's possibly badly worded as well. If you don't want to use one of the paravirtualized Oracle Enterprise Linux templates available on eDelivery, you can use any operating system installation CD in ISO format. Note that installations from an ISO are done as fully virtualized guests (i.e. hardware virtualized) and require Intel VT-x or AMD-s extensions to be present and enabled. Hardware virtualized guests are also not as fast as paravirtualized Linux guests.
Oracle only certifies Database 11g running on Enterprise Linux in paravirtualized mode. The simplest way to deploy this is to use the provided templates.

@oracle team; forms server help desparately needed

hi
my company is trying to migrate client machines to linux. our setup should be the following:
database <-> forms server <-> linux client with applet viewer
v9.2.....................v9i.................debian 3.0, j2sdk1.3
i am working on this setup for some months(!) now but i cannot get the clients to communicate stable with the rest of the setup.
problem: quite frequently the appletviewer will just hang and cause the forms server to create a
f90webm_dump_`$PID` file
in its working directory containing the following information:
[Mon Jan 20 21:58:29 2003 CET]::Client Status [ConnId=0, PID=10033]
>> Network connection to client failed: timeout on connection
the people working on the client machines are quite quickly inputting data into our databases. the appletviewer will hang more often on machines < 500 MHz but it also hangs on machines with more than 1.5 GHz and 512 MB DDR
i have literally tried everything:
i tried these java versions:
1.1, 1.3_x, 1.4.1 from sun, blackdown, ibm and even the one that came with the forms server on the clients
i tried to tune every setting on the forms server and in the jvm.cfg. i even tried to install the forms server on the clients so that i would have one tcp connection less to definitely exclude network failure as a possible reason.
i tried to use the PREEMPT_CLOSE setting, i even patched the kernels (low latency patch), analysed megabytes of debug logging, tried to strace the appletviewer to find WHY it keeps hanging!!!!
i tried to use different linux versions for best compatibility on the clients as well as on the forms server:
debian potato, woody, sarge, sid
suse 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
redhat 7.2, 7.3
i have read almost ALL documentation you could possibly read to find the reason of this problem.
dear oracle team
PLEASE just tell me that you have even tested this product and that you know how to make it work in a stable way. we can even pay you money to give us the solution. we have been using oracle forms for 7 years now and we want to stick with it. but our clients HAVE to be able to run the linux OS.
i have posted this problem 2 or 3 times already but somehow either noone seems to read this or noone has ever tried to use a three tier setup with linux on the middle and the client tier.
as i said i have wasted MONTHS already trying to get this to work and i am out of ideas what could cause this.
thanks for ANY reaction
armin walland

sorry for not responding a few days, i didnt have the possibility to do so.
if you access and run the application from a Windows
client using JInitiator, what happens.i have tried that of course and it seemed to be stable. (no hang in about 2 and a half days). i dont think it is a problem on the forms server itself...maybe just some setting that doesnt cooperate well with the appletviewer.
Since we don't
certify Forms9i with appletviewer, we didn't test it
there.thats what i thought to be honest....since you say "we"; do you work for oracle?
So first thing to do is to check if the
problem is a client issue or a server side problem.seems more like a client proble to me though....somehow it looks like some deadlock or race condition, but im not a programmer so this could be a completely wrong impression.
If youi can, can you try a test on a Windows client?as i said b4, we tried that and it seemed to work finely but it was to test the server and ensure it isnt a complete misconfiguration issue :)
rgds, armin

Does the Linux suse10.2 supports Oracle 10g XP database?

Hi,
I like to install Oracle 10g XE Database on my Linux suse10.2 operating system. I am not sure that the Linux suse10.2 OS supports the installation of Oracle 10g XE database. If it supports kindly let me know which version of 10g XE supports.
Thanks in advance,
Senthil.

These Linux distributions are currently supported:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux RHEL3 and RHEL4

A question about Oracle 1g R2 Enterprise Edition license

Dear all,
I have a question about Oracle license and I would appreciate if you could kindly help me.
I have installed an Oracle server (11g R2 Enterprise edition) on a linux virtual machine. The pc used for this purpose
is my enterprise laptop (therefore a professional and not a personal Computer). However, I use the this Oracle Server
only for learning purpose, that is, only for running the examples in my Oracle Press books (SQL, PL/SQL and some
administration tasks) just for learning the stuff.
There is absolutely no data related to my enterprise, stored or used on this server. Whenever I want to work with my
enterprise data, I use the Oracle server of the enterprise which has of course the appropriate license. So as I said, I
use this Enterprise server on the virtual machine only for running queries/programs in my Oracle Press books just for
learning and I'm the sole person who uses this server (no remote connection for other users).
The reason for which I needed to install this server on my PC was that our DBA couldn't provide a training environment
for me with all required privileges and functionalities.
Am I supposed to buy a license for this installed Enterprise server on my virtual machine?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

Supported Linux Distributions

I am wandering if there is a recommended/preferred Linux distribution for my 450 G1.

Thank you PeerOne for your response.
I have asked the question: What are you doing that Windows itself can't provide for you? Answer: In short. I have found Linux to give me more freedom of flexibility and security. It has also opened a door to technical learning that was not there before.
As for the drivers. That was the primary basis of the posted question. It looks like the distro would be Suse according to the drivers from HP. However I prefer to use Ubuntu and wanted to see if it would be supported. I believe I may be able to use the driver no matter what distribution I go with. I just wanted to see if I could get manufacture confirmation.
Unforunately for your flexibility and security is limited to not being supported by major software or hardware support and will be limited since they will support O/S that can provide them a source of income for R&D for both Windows and Apple. Until Linux become one O/S that can go up against Windows or Apple it will be always be last place. For Servers Unix has more Control and Command overall and that is where it holds sway and has Hardware and Software support for. For Linux having to many distro will insure it never is a Consumer Friendly O/S that consumer can rally behind one O/S that can complete with Windows or Apple market shares. Most everyday Computer users want to turn on and start using their computer and turn off when done not like the savvy computer users they know the ins and out but they are far in the minority compared to the major of computer users. So that is the real story why Linux never fully took off or could compete on the scale of Windows or Apple.

An Idea for a linux distribution

Basically, I had my grandma in mind when I came up with this idea. I thought about entitling this thread "linux distro for grandmas" but decided against it, because it might be offensive to some (I'm pretty sure that somewhere in this great big world there is a grandma who is a great linux admin). Besides, I know a number of people that aren't my grandma that this would be perfect for.
Basically, there is usually a trade off between power and ease of use amongst Linux distributions. On one end of the spectrum you have umm... ubuntu and xandros(?) and on the other you have Linux from Scratch. Anyway, my grandma would have a tough time with even the simplest distributions unless it was set up by a very patient and thoughtful admin.
So my idea is to make a distribution that offers virtually no options to confuse the user. Once the computer is booted, the user is confronted with a graphical login where they simply click (user1). From there, they are presented with a few icons with titles such as "surf the internet", "check email", etc. (maybe this is too patronizing?)
I think that by default, their should be two users, one for the primary user, and one for guests, just to prevent guests from messing things up by screwing with configurations, or looking up pornography. I think that there are programs that convert linux boxes into dummy terminals which might help in such a distribution. (maybe we can make certain config files read only)
This distribution should run on just about anything by default, and be a dream come true for any admin who wants to quickly and easily setup a computer for a friend or loved one (or fellow employees). The installation process should be as simple as clicking "yes you're sure and you understand that by installing you will erase everything on the harddrive". (ok, maybe we could include a few more options than that)
This distribution would be unsuitable for anyone who would want to install or upgrade their own software, or play 3d games etc. It should include support for playing music, surfing the internet, reading email, and all of the basics that many many people want to use their computer for.(without understanding ANYTHING about it) I'd also like to make it unnecessary for end users to know any passwords, or commands period.
No one wants grandma to get hacked, but it would be nice to remotely admin these installations (although ideally, the need for administer's intervention would be absolutely minimal). So I was thinking that in addition to the two end user login accounts, we would need a login account meant exclusively for logging in via ssh, and, of course root. the ssh specific login name and password would have to be chosen during installation, and this would be the only account that is accessible by ssh. This user would be the only member of the wheel group. Root... well root is root.
Anyway, a quick google around didn't reveal any projects that had these goals in mind. I just dreamed this up an hour ago, so it is not even well developed as a concept yet.
Is this interesting to anyone else?

It's not just Grannies that could use this. Just yesterday I had some windows using friends touting the benefits of Xandros Presto. Essentially what you are talking about is a similar concept. I like the idea too, and even better would be if a very few applications could be customised as packages that are available for download as extensions. Rather than every GNU app packaged with scarce descriptions it would be great to select a main tool for each category and document it, make it installable into the chosen GUI, even have pretty little logo graphics for each app. Really user friendly. You'd have to look seriously into the Gui layout of the main selections screen as well as each individual app so that it was uniform across the board. I've always thought it would be better for this type of thing to limit the way things can be done also. Most interfaces give numerous ways of completing the same task. It'd be much simpler if there were only one primary way (even if the others were there but hidden, like keyboard shortcuts), so there is still room for advanced users to speed things up a bit.
Being able to trim it all down to single option answers to basic operational questions would be fantastic. There would also have to be no update manager, or if there was it should be designed to ship updates once a month tops. No kernel updates, no nvidia updates. Just a perfectly working balance of good apps that can't be broken easily.
"Fantastic" would also be a great distro name
The only thing I find wrong with this way of thinking though is that it seem like everyone can create a new distro but no-one seems to work on the interface of the applications, or the total system. i.e. Making a distro you can only use what applications are available and if you choose openoffice for your office suite and there is an issue with it, you can't fix it, therefore you can't control the stability of the system. It can only all come together properly when the applications can be simplified in conjunction with the OS UI and the authors have enough control to fix both the distro, and the applications.
Cheers,
Arkay.

Several questions about oracle ASM in 11gR2.

Hi, all.
The db is 11.2.0.3 on a linux machine.
I have several questions about oracle ASM functionality.
1. V$ASM_DISKGROUP.ALLOCATION_UNIT_SIZE is the stripe size in bytes??
2. V$ASM_DISK.DISK_NUMBER is unique to a physical disk??
3. if the second question is the case,
disk_number=0 (a physical disk) has 14 partition on it.
And each partition belongs to several diskgroups.
Is ths right??
with q1 as (
     select /*+ use_hash(b,a) */
          disk_number,b.group_number,b.name,a.path,sum(os_mb) tot_size ,count(*) cnt
     from v$asm_disk a, v$asm_diskgroup b
     where a.group_number=b.group_number
     group by disk_number,b.group_number,b.name,a.path
     order by disk_number,b.group_number,b.name
select disk_number,group_number,name,path,tot_size,

1. No. The stripe size always equals 128 KB in any configuration.
(http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e18951/asmcon.htm#BABCGDBF)That is not a true statement. Please read the document, the stripe size depends upon what method of striping we using (fine-grained or coarse-grained)
--from the same oracle document:
To stripe data, Oracle ASM separates files into stripes and spreads data evenly across all of the disks in a disk group. The fine-grained stripe size always equals 128 KB in any configuration; this provides lower I/O latency for small I/O operations. The coarse-grained stripe size is always equal to the AU size (not the data extent size).
--are we using fine grained or coarse-grained ? and how to change the striping method (using TEMPLATES)

AIR on non-supported Linux distributions

I work for a company that uses flash extensively and is very
excited about the new release of AIR for Linux. However I haven't
been able to install AIR on our target OS. We use a modified
Linux-From-Scratch OS because our applications run in a
semi-embedded environment; it's small and we can easily customize
it to suit our needs. Fedora/Ubuntu/OpenSuse have too large a
footprint for our applications. I even tried compiling/installing
the rpm package manager to see if I could fool the AIR installer
but that didn't work :)
I'm aware of this thread...
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=72&catid=677&threadid =1349878&enterthread=y&loc=en_us
...suggesting use of the SDK to run AIR apps.
So I have a couple questions...
Are there any plans to support installation on other Linux
distributions? This might be of value to Slackware/Gentoo users as
well.
Is there any downside to running AIR apps in terms of
performance/capabilities using the ADL via the SDK?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is much difference in terms of
performance.
But there are things that are not supported when running in
ADL. One of them is the Update API.

Oracle Team, SCHEMA DEMOS NEEDED

Hello Oracle Team,
I've been trying to use the schema parser for the last month. I've read multiple messages on this news group where people like me whine that they can't get anything to work. There are only like 3 examples that are downloaded with your parser. Obviously, with no other learning resources (besides blindly testing it to see how it reacts) more examples are needed.
Obviously there was some sort of Q.A. that the parser had to go through where it was tested before you posted it. Are those tests laying around somewhere on someone's hard drive. Could you please post some of those examples to this news group? A lot of people like me would really appreciate it.
You have responded to a couple of my previous questions by writing,
"The new beta was released today (October 26). It should fix the problem."
Well I tried to use the new beta for about 6 hours this morning and it didn't fix any of these same problems...
unique, key, keyref, extension, required(for attributes).
I know that the new parser has to work or you wouldn't keep responding to my messages saying it would. Please give some examples of how to use it.
Please post the java files, xsd files and xml files as examples of how to use these features. Please post examples that will run correctly through the parser. Also please post modified xml files that will crash the parser.

I've gone to the internet site... http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/
and went down the list of functionality that should be in a schema parser. Is this what oracle is basing their parser on? If not where is the standard oracle is going off of?
I've gone through this schema primer and I've tested the oracle schema parser. I've found that about 70% of it is not implemented or I just couldn't figure out how to get the parser to work. Also I've found there a couple of things that did work in the parser, just that the syntax was different. I've found these things (I realize that there are typos here but you'll get the basic idea).....
What Works, What doesn't work, comparing the oracle parser with the w3c spec.

Does Work...:)
use="required" Partially Working...
required actually work now for attributes, you can even type check with it now!-BUT
ONLY AT THE TOP DEFINITIONS LEVEL. I think it's supposed to work inside nested definitions.
I found some really really weird activity with nested definitions though. If I define an
element having 2 attributes and the element is nested... if I say that both elements are
required, then if in the xml file I don't use either I will get the same buggy activity.
The parser doesn't care. BUT if I only declare 1 of the attributes and NOT the other then
the parser gets mad! So, the parser will only check nested level elements attributes if
there are more than one attributes declared and in the xml file I only specify one. HOW NICE!
