RHEL V3 (2.4.21) = Unbreakable Linux: up2date too old to proceed

I am pre newbie here so be gentle !!
uname -a gives :
Linux dev1.firstixt.co.uk 2.4.21-4.EL #1 Fri Oct 3 18:13:58 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
The documentation for migrating to UL, basically states that we get a couple of new "up2dates", register the machine - sit back and relax ..
It does state however minimum software version requirements .. and i am sure i am fowl of these.
Getting the necessary files from oracle ULN and then :
[root@dev1 UL]# rpm -Uvh up2date-4.5.5-40.2.*.rpm up2date-gnome-4.5.5-40.2.*.rpm
warning: up2date-4.5.5-40.2.el3.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID b38a8516
error: Failed dependencies:
rhnlib >= 1.8.7 is needed by up2date-4.5.5-40.2.el3
rpm >= 4.2.3-24_nonptl is needed by up2date-4.5.5-40.2.el3
Can anyone advise me the way forward please? If our RH version is too old can i simply download some new "iso's" from oracle and re-install linux from scratch. Perhaps wiping the old RH ? (is someone laughing ?)
or can i simply get the missing rpm's and patch the RH system until it fits - personally that sounds a bit "untested" ..
Suggestions would be appreciated (other than "don't give up your day job")
Regards

Hi, Neill
Yes, It is reasonable. but this is backport support. so I think you need have a special license for realizing it. eg Enterprise Linux Premier Support. for more. please refer to http://www.oracle.com/technologies/linux/ubl-faq.pdf

Unbreakable Linux almost installed - wireless and up2date issues

I am trying to build a RAC/linux/iScsi test/play system and I am new to Linux. I have downloaded and installed Unbreakable Linux on 2 dualboot HP laptops with some degree of success.
1. Wireless cards are not working. lspci shows that my broadcom hardware was recognized (but I guess I don't have the driver/packages to support them). Googling leads me to think that I will need to pursue a ndiswrapper solution, or perhaps the kernel just does not support the technology. How do I solve this? Will I need a kernel upgrade?
2. I assume that I'll need patches/updates. The instructions at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum-repository-setup.html describe how to setup and configure up2date and a yum repository. The instructions also say that I'll need to enter an Oracle CSI number when I register and run up2date. I don't have an Oracle CSI# anymore due to a recent layoff. Any suggestions?
3. Should I abandon just Oracle linux and switch to another distribution (i.e. Open Suse or CentOS) ?
Thanks.

Hi tom

First you can install the driver on the wireless card cdrom.if can't ,please list the
type of wireless card.

Unfortunately. if you don't have CSI,you can't run up2date.please go to http://linux.oracle.com and click "Buy Unbreakable Linux from the Oracle Store" label.

Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?

Dear,
Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux Kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?
If supported, please point to the download link.
We require this in order to plan for the OEL 5.5 kernel upgrade to ULK and to connect SUN SAN storage array 6180.
Thanks,
...basha

From what I can gather you will need to compile the driver from source in order to use the RDAC driver with the UEK kernel. Chances are that it won't compile properly under the UEK kernel, which is more up to date than the RHEL kernel.
You will have to start the system from the supplied original RHEL kernel in order to use the binary IBM RDAC driver distribution. The following is available: http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds4000.aspx and http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds3000.aspx
You may however be able to use Multipath, which is build in also in the UEK kernel. To get the current supported configurations for IBM System Storage it is best to use the interoperability matrices located at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/product/interop.html. You can use the link to the "System Storage Interoperation Center (SSIC)" to query your specific configuration (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/ssic/interoperability.wss)

Hi,
Two methods can reach your goal as following:
1,mount the ISO and cd Enterprise/RPMS and manually install these packages one by one;
2,Use up2date packages_name install from ULN.

Unbreakable Linux Network Alert Icon - How to register?

Hi,
I just installed the Unbreakable Linux and when tried to use the up2date I get a message requesting to active my environment but I don't have a CSI as I'm an Oracle employee. Does anyone know how can I make it work?
Thanks
Claudio

Hello John,
I tried to subscribe to Unbreakable Linux Network with my company's CSI supplied to us through our Oracle partnership; I work for an Oracle Certified Advantage Partner. I have used my CSI for MetaLink registration and Service Requests, but it is not working when I try to register for "up2date" (error: "CSI is not valid").
Should my company's CSI work?
Thanks,
Jeremy

I/O Error with Unbreakable Linux on VMWARE

Hallo,
I need a little bit help.
We are using a Version of "unbreakable Linux" for a Installation of E-Business Suite
for Demonstration Purposes (in fact we ant to do an upgrade from 11.0.3 E-Business-Suite to 11i) on VMWare.
After Installation we ran into the Bug "Read-Only-Filesystem after Path-Failover",
which meant, that after random I/O - Errors the filesystem was automatically remounted in read-only-mode (which also meant that the database crashed at the same time).
After Downloading several Patches we are now on the following level:
2.6.9-42.0.10.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Feb 27 12:25:04 PST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux.
Now the filesystem isn't remounted in read-only-mode, nevertheless we occasionally
get the following errors (/var/log/messages)
Apr 26 23:33:45 appstraining kernel: SCSI error : <0 0 0 0> return code = 0x20008
Apr 26 23:33:45 appstraining kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 309473637

Apr 26 23:33:45 appstraining kernel: lost page write due to I/O error on dm-0
Consequently we get defect Blocks and Control-Files for example and database -crashes.
I didn't find any new Patches using Up2date.
Who can help?

Unbreakable Linux error: That's not the correct Enterprise Linux CDROM

I eagerly downloaded Unbreakable Linux (4 CDROMS) and tried to install it in a VMWARE (Workstation 5.5.1 build-19175) virtual machine.
I choose RHEL 4.0 32bit as a base (Typical VM configuration).
All went fine until disc 3 was asked for during install. I got a "That's not the correct Enterprise Linux CDROM" error. I tried also to mount the other ISO's but that didn't work out either.
Frustrating.
The mediacheck results in PASS for all 4 CD's - and they all are all recognized correctly. So I made sure I got the complete set.
Anyone a shot...?

Hi,
The Enterprise linux is free download and free using.License just for someone wants to update from Unbreakable Linux Network(ULN offers access to Linux software patches, updates and fixes, along with information on up2date program and support policies. ULN subscribers will find security updates and additional bugfixes for kernel and other packages. They will also be able to download useful extra packages not included in the original distribution.) or entitle to get backport support from Oracle.See more detail please refer to http://linux.oracle.com

Windows Xp and Unbreakable Linux

Anybody with an idea if its possible to have windows xp and unbreakable linux on the same system, tried it once but had problems with it maybe i did something wrong am not sure, i just need confirmation so i dont lose my files if it isnt possible. Anybody with experience on it. Have done it with windows xp and rhel 3 and it worked well.Thanks

If you are not going to use VMware do the following:
Install XP first with some partition space for Linux (15GB?)
!!!!Follow with caution, as fdisk can destroy all your data!!!
Then start linux install, select the non-window partition, format, create mount points- the usual stuff.
When it comes to grub, make sure you select the advanced grub options, and select " install on first partition of boot sector" . Select Windows XP as your default OS.
After the installation, the system boots into windows XP by default, although not through grub.
For this, you need to start linux in rescue mode (use the same install DVD/CD and at linux prompt, type linux rescue)
mount the sysimage (chroot /mnt/sysimage)
use fdisk to change the default bootable flag (fdisk a [1-4]).
eg hda is your windows system partition; hdb is your linux partition
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda * 1 13054 104856223+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdb xxx xxxx xxxxxx 83 Linux
Now reboot your system and you should have a dual boot XP/OEL.
hth,

Help starting Unbreakable Linux and Oracle

Hello
I am getting ready to install Unbreakable Linux on a 70GB hard drive is that enough space?
I will be multibooting Windows 2003 Server 10GB, XP 30GB and Unbreakable Linux 30GB on the 70GB hard drive.
These are my questions:
1)When I had installed Fedora installed the autopartition configured my partition automatically like this using Grub. Will Unbreakable Linux's autopartition do this the same way that Fedora did, what would I have to do to set this up :
VG VolGroup00 30720m VolGroup
LV LogVol01 992m swap
LV LogVol00 29728m ext3
/dev/sda/
/dev/sda1 1 255 2000m vfat
/dev/sda2 256 9545 72872m extended
/dev/sda5 256 1785 12001m vfat "W2003 was on this partition"
/hda6 1786 5609 29996m vfat "XP was on this partition"
/had7 5610 5622 101m ext3 /boot
/hda8 5623 9545 30772m physical V "Fedora on this partition"
2) Is Unbreakable Linux good for running Oracle and a web server, replication and Log shipping?
3) What web server runs on Unbreakable Linux and how difficult is it to install?
4) What kind of security is good for Unbreakable Linux ?
5) What kind of firewall is good for Unbreakable Linux ?
6) What kind of antivirus and spyware/malware is good for Unbreakable Linux ?
7) What browser runs on Unbreakable Linux and where do I get it from?
8) Do I run startx to get the gui if not then what?
9) How do I get help if I have a problem setting up any of the above?

I am getting ready to install Unbreakable Linux on a 70GB hard drive is that enough space?Yes, definitely.
1)When I had installed Fedora installed the autopartition configured my partition automatically like this using Grub. Will Unbreakable Linux's autopartition do this the same way that Fedora did, what would I have to do to set this up :Not sure that if it will EL do automaticaly the same layout as Fedora but you have all informations so you can do manual partitioning.
2)Is Unbreakable Linux good for running Oracle and a web server, replication and Log shipping?Of course it is. Note Unbreakable Linux is a support program not a distribution.
3) What web server runs on Unbreakable Linux and how difficult is it to install?AFAIK almost any major distribution is shipped with Apcache HTTP server.
So you can install HTTP server using package located in installation media.
Or you can download sources and compile your own configuration or preffered HTTP server (I preffer this option). Everything goes easy with manual: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-install-guide/
4) What kind of security is good for Unbreakable Linux?What exactly do you mean under "security" term?
5) What kind of firewall is good for Unbreakable Linux ?Each distribution (including this one) is shipped with excellent stateful (of course stateless too :-) ) firewall called "iptables" which is included in Linux kernel. More info (documentation and HOWTOs) you can find at http://netfilter.org
6) What kind of antivirus and spyware/malware is good for Unbreakable Linux ?There is some Linux antivirus SW for example AVG, NOD but viruses are very rare in the Linux world and most of them are just "Proof of concept". So at this time is client antivirus SW just waste of money.
Spyware and malware - forget about it when we speaking about Linux (at this time).
7) What browser runs on Unbreakable Linux and where do I get it from?Graphic: Firefox, Konqueror, Nautilus Text: lynx, elinks - all these are included in Linux distribution.
8) Do I run startx to get the gui if not then what?You can start X server automaticaly during boot. This is provided by default runlevel configuration in /etc/inittab file (in this case it's run level 5). If your server has default run level 3 and you want to start X server you can log as root, and temporary change the run level to 5 by command (init 5 or telinit 5).
There is not reason for starting X server when you are using Linux machine as database server or HTTP server.
9) How do I get help if I have a problem setting up any of the above? There is Ubreakable Linux program: http://www.oracle.com/technologies/linux/ubl-faq.pdf
And for non critical issues you can also use public linux forums like this :-)

How to install 10.2 DB on Unbreakable Linux , should i use GCC 3.2 or 3.4 ?

Hi !
I'm trying to install Oracle 10.2 on Unbreakable Linux (installed in Virtual PC).
My problem is on package gcc-3.2.
On distribution of Unbreakable Linux download from Oracle web - there is no gcc-3.2, so i download and try to install gcc-3.2 from RedHat, that requires cpp 3.2-7.
I have installed cpp 3.4.6 that i can't uninstall because xorg-x11 requeires it. I don't want to loose X11 in my Linux :(

I see in this forum some solutions but none works for me (I´m installing Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 x64) to solve this problem I put libXp lib but the problem is the same.
The library is installed:
[root@SRVAXILAB072 oracle]# ll /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Aug 16 18:10 /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6 -> libXp.so.6.2.0
[root@SRVAXILAB072 oracle]#
But I think the installation process are searching in /usr/lib but I didn´t have the library in 32b I tried to copy to /usr/lib and another crazy ideas but didn’t work.
I read alot of post and guides for installation process but I didn´t see nothing to install Oracle in Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5
Some ideas??
If not..... I will try with Oracle Unbreakable linux 4 :(
Thanks
Best Regards

Well, I've not been in touch with installs on linux myself for a long time, but it seems you need a few 32-bit libs. Try installing libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm.

How to make Firefox access the internet from Oracle Ent. Unbreakable Linux?

Hello
I have a Dell Duo Core x86 laptop that multiboots Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP and Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux. I use Internet Explorer to
access my email while at the library so I know my laptop can access the internet. I just installed the Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux in text mode and
I can still access the Internet but only if I use one of the Windows operating systems which is why I am keeping them for now. The reason is because when I
use Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux, when I select Firefox to access the internet I get these messages:
"Server not found
Firefox can't find server at www.hotmail.com
-check address for typing errors
-if unable to load pages check network connection
-if computer or network protected by firewall make sure Firefox permitted to access
web"
None of those reasons are true for not gaining access to the internet. I want to use Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux from now which is why I installed
but I need to know:
1) Why do I get the "Server not found" and the other error messages when I try to access the internet using Firefox and what do I have to do to make Firefox
access the internet successfully?

Hi,
First you must confirm your laptop with Oracle Enterprise Unbreakable Linux can access internet.
Please open a terminal, input the following command
1.ifconfig
2.cat /etc/resolv.conf

Installing Application Server 10g 2 on Unbreakable linux

Hello all,
I wish to install Application Server 10g 2 on Oracle Unbreakable Linux EL5. Could someone please let me know if there are installation instructions for the App Server on EL5?
Also, when I go to [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html] to download release 2 for Linux x86, the tooltip has the file named as "as_linux_x86_portal_wireless_101202_disk1.cpio". Does anyone know if this is actually the App Server???
Last, but not least, I downloaded disk 1(I'm assuming it's the correct software) and tried to "unzip" it in /home/oracle to run the Universal Installer and Oracle Unbreakable Linux doesn't recognize the file extension .cpio. So my last question then would be is Oracle Unbreakable Linux even a suitable version of Linux to install the App Server on? Because it seems strange that the software Oracle has on its website can't even be opened on their own flavor of Linux.
Any help answering my questions will be appreciated.
-Thank You,
David Wrbelis

Hi,
I did just a while ago.
If you got a joice, use Unbreakable Linux 4 (RHEL4), 10g2 on Unbreakable Linux version 5 is not officially supported by Oracle!
At least my Server was complaining about the system. After extracting the .cpio you can either use
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or go to redhat-release file (I'm not sure in the moment, I believe its /etc/redhat-release) and set it to version 4 instead of 5 until installation is done.
You will get an error during installation, when it appears rename libXtst.so.6.0.0 to libXtst.so.6.0 and press retry, the installation will finish successfully.
You might get an error that opmn could not start. Start it manually, the error won't appear, you can ignore it (press continue).
Your config wizards should ALL be successful!
About the file you downloaded, I was using a different one, since I only needed Forms and Reports service, you might want to have the full Server, so there are more than one correct downloads for 10g2. You need to look carefully what features you need or load full version (which would be several cds I believe).
