Runinstaller (oracle database) hangs the zone and global zone

We have recently installed a Solaris 10 (Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10s_u10wos_17b SPARC) on the SPARC T4 and create two zones out of it.
We tried to install oracle database on the zone by running the installer (tried xclock and it works very well so display is not a problem).
Not only the zone was hang the entire Global zone SPARC server was hang and the only way to bring the system back is to power on and off it.
-bash-3.2$ ./runInstaller

any ideas?

Hi,
Please can you confirm, is it a standalone DB that you are trying to install..
If yes, What is the DB version?
The error message is simply unable to obtain the xfont. This link might help you:

Install Oracle Database 11g in a non-global Zone

Hi Folks
If everyone install a Oracle 11g database in a non-global zone, please give me some advice.
Is there any requirements (Packages) in the global zone?
Some special about the Installation process?
Any documents or best practice?
Best regards
Martin

If your using full root non-global zones, then it would be the same as installing it on the global zone. This how we do it at my work, we install the DB on a full root zone, that is the only zone on a global zone or the other zone is a very light load.

Using Coherence and Oracle Database as the CacheStore

We are working on implementing a solution using Coherence and Oracle Database as the CacheStore. We initially implemented the Cache as a distributed-scheme which in turn uses the backing-map-scheme. We are trying to introduce transaction management and I used a scheme-ref in a transactional-scheme to point to an already existing distributed-scheme. However when I bring up the server, my custom coherence-cache-config.xml file is not recognized and Coherence comes up with the default setting. Given below is the snippet of my configuration file.
1) I would like to understand why the below configuration doesn’t work and am I doing it the right way? If not, what is the correct way of doing it?
2) There are a multiple transaction management options given in the documentation. Which are the ones that will work with a distributed-scheme and read-write-backing-map-scheme?
3) If transactional-schemes cannot work with distributed-scheme, what is the best way to have a distributed cache with a oracle database as a cache store?
<caching-scheme-mapping>
<cache-mapping>
<cache-name>id<cache-name>
<scheme-name>example-transactional<scheme-name>
</cache-mapping>

<scheme-name>example-transactional</scheme-name>

</init-params>
</class-scheme>
</cachestore-scheme>

</read-write-backing-map-scheme>
</backing-map-scheme>
<autostart>true</autostart>
</distributed-scheme>

Hi,
If you look at the documentation for transactional-scheme here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24290_01/coh.371/e22837/appendix_cacheconfig.htm#BHCIABHA
you will see that it says The transactional-scheme element defines a transactional cache, which is a specialized distributed cache. That means that a transactional-scheme is already a distributed-scheme.
You will see from the same documentation above that there is no way in a transactional-scheme to configure things like cache-stores or listeners or even the backing-map-scheme as these are not supported on a transactional-scheme - so you cannot use a cache store.
Personally I would not use transactional-scheme unless you have some really big reason to do so - the restrictions far outweigh any perceived advantage of having a transaction. There are better ways to build applications so they do not require transactions, that is what we have been doing for years with Coherence so far, and there is no real reason to change that.

Can i use "Oracle Database 12c: Performance Management and Tuning " training for getting certification on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054"

i have taken "Oracle Database 12c: Performance Management and Tuning new" training from oracle university. Now i would like to get certified on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054" exam. Is it possible ?

I essentially endorse and refer you to Matthews' and John's post above.
I would differ with slightly with Matthew because my guess is you would often be able to use like for like 12c training for an 11g certification ( I believe there are precedents). BEFORE ANYONE ASKS THE OTHER WAY DOESN'T HAPPEN.
.... but totally concur with Matthew you would ill advised to procede on that basis without one of:
- This being advertised as possible on the website : e.g. https://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=654&get_params=p_id:169 ... option 2 show courses.
- Confirmation from Brandye
- Confirmation from an Oracle Certification Support Web Ticket ( http://education.oracle.com/pls/eval-eddap-dcd/OU_SUPPORT_OCP.home?p_source=OCP )
... The more common (and in my opinion usually better) way would be get your 11g DBA OCP ( or higher first) and then take the 1z0-054. I am almost certain they will accept your 12c course for the 11g DBA OCP.
If you are choosing the route of not being a 11g (or 12c ) DBA OCP first but are on option 2 and relying on the course for certification then the issue is more in the balance and you are even more strongly advised to get confirmation before proceding (remember if the rules need to be changed for you only then any profit out of the exam is lost).
In general my understanding is Oracle would prefer to encourage people to train on the latest version of product that is available for training and will prefer to avoid restrictions which would cause you to train at a lower version. ( This is simply my guess at Oracle University Policy ... personal opinion only).
Having said all I have said I'd encourage you to go with the advice of the earlier two posts.

Oracle Database at Novel Netware and D2K at Windows Machine

One of our clients are asking Combination of Oracle Database at Novel netware and Developer 2000 at Windows machine , please send us the comments whether the above combination is possible

Hello,
yes it is possible, we are having oracle 8.04 running on Netware 5.0 with Win98 clients using D2K.
However further versions of oracle e.g. 8i,9i etc are not available and never going to be available on netware.
hence we are migratiing to Win2K Adv server.
regards.

Problem in installing Oracle database 10.2.01 and SOA suite


Hi ALL,
I have the following two problems.
I get a windows error saying "oui.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvinience" whenever i try to install Oracle database 10.2.01.(problem 1)
However, i used the Oracle database from other system and installed SOA suite on my system. It was working fine until recently when it failed to start. I had only one option i.e. to deninstall the SOA suite.(i used the oracle deinstaller to deinstall the SOA suite) . When i tried to reinstall it again, i got a warning saying "DHCP configuration was detected on this host. The installer also detected that the local host name and the network hostname differ". When i ignored this warning and continued the installation, the set up falied to detect the Oracle database which i had used earlier(problem 2). Do I need to clear any logs or do i have any way to sort out these two problems. Please help. ?:|



i am trying to install the SOA SUite against locahost. I have installed the loop back adapter but facing the same problems that i used to face earlier.

Oracle database is very slow and hangs sometime

I am using Oracle 11g on Red hat 5.2 . My RAM is of 6 GB and swap size is 12GB . When I checked the used RAM and Swap area by using $ free -m command it shows that enough free memory (almost 4990 GB and swap space (more than 10GB) is available to use. Then I checked an alert.log file as my database was hanged . It contains error like
1. audit commit delay exceeded oracle
2. unable to spawn jobq slave process oracle
3. maximum number of sessions exceeded
4. could not allocate new resource
My init.ora contains following parameters.
Processes =150
Sessions= 248
Transactions = 220
memory_target = 2400m
sga_max_size = 1500m
sga_target = 0m
So, what steps i should take to stop database hanging and how can i boost slow performance ? Is there any problem with my resource manager and if so then how can i correct it?
Thanks
Tushar Lapani

Hi,
Please check the query
SELECT username,default_tablespace from dba_users;
Ususally the default tablespace of the user should not be in SYSTEM tablespace. This might cause performance issue. Create a seperate tablespace and alter/assign this user. Also must move all the objects from SYSTEM tablespace to this new tablespace which you created.
For complete details, you can refer the document http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10752.pdf

The Oracle Database Programming using Java and Web services book is out

This book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1555583296 shows how to build pragmatic applications using the combination of PL/SQL, Java in the database, JDBC, SQLJ, JPublisher, and Web services. It is intented for database developers, DBA, data architects, Java developers and Web services assemblers.
My blog http://db360.blogspot.com/ and the free/sample chapter http://www.oracle.com/technology/books/pdfs/mensah_ch1.pdf will give you a feel of the content.
Enjoy, Kuassi

Hi Kuassi,
Thanks for letting us know that your book is available. I have been following one of your articles about "Virtualize Your Oracle Database with Web Services". More specifically "The Database as Web Services Consumer". I think that this is an area that has in the past been under estimated as to the potential benefits.
I am currently trying to develop a solution that consumes several interfaces with a couple of them being published web services, so an ideal solution. I have then spent the last three weeks having to read up about the architecture of Java in the database, Jpublisher and make sense of how it all works together.
I have got very close to getting one of the web services to work but failed due to using 10gR2 where all the java & libraries has moved to version 1.5. The solution is to load the jdk1.4.2 and configure jpublisher to use this. So far so good except this is not available on some platforms, Windows - 64 bit (not itanium).
The configuration is proving very challenging but will hopefully reap rewards.
(Thought I would give you some background to my experience).
Anyway my question to you is having looked at Jdeveloper it appears to do almost anything except consume services into the database, also with Java now being at version 1.5 outside the database for 10gR2 and supporting 1.4 inside, do you see some alignment of these in future database releases?
Finally off to buy your book now as no doubt there is a huge amount more to learn.
Kind Regards
David O'Donnell

Xraid + Oracle = Database hang?

Heya all.
Oracle 9i (9.2.0.8), Solaris 10.
I had a queer problem yesterday. I needed to recover a tablespace, and the only thing we had around with enough diskspace was an xraid. Apparently these are ok to use, so we mounted it up over nfs, jumbo frames on both sides, and copied a backup of my database onto it.
Problem was, starting up oracle, when attempting to mount the database, it would just hang.
It looked like ckpt was getting stuck trying to access the control file.
# ps -ef | grep BACK | grep ckpt
oracle 4721 1 0 16:20:52 ? 0:00 ora_ckpt_BACK
# truss -p 4721
*** SUID: ruid/euid/suid = 101 / 5011 / 5011 ***
*** SGID: rgid/egid/sgid = 1 / 7002 / 7002 ***
semtimedop(32, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1DC, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1C8) Err#11 EAGAIN
semtimedop(32, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1DC, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1C8) (sleeping...)
semtimedop(32, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1DC, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1C8) Err#11 EAGAIN
semtimedop(32, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1DC, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1C8) (sleeping...)
semtimedop(32, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1DC, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1C8) Err#11 EAGAIN
semtimedop(32, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1DC, 1, 0xFFFFFFFF7FFFE1C8) (sleeping...)
eventually an error would be generated by oracle,
ksedmp: internal or fatal error
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [2116], [900], [], [], [], [], [], []
but the sqlplus session mounting the database would just hang.
I moved the control files off the xraid onto local disks, and the database would then mount, proving that its something weird with the xraid, but then it would get stuck on the datafiles, moved them off (had to dump alot of tablespaces to get it to fit onto local disks), then it would get stuck on redo.. moved redo off onto local disks, and it all worked..
Oracle support seemed to think it was an issue with resources, and suggested adding more swap.
The oracle user could create files fine. I /think/ it was just having problems locking them. I tried restarting lockd, restarting the server, adjusting (solaris) shared memory settings, shutting down other oracle instances on the machine, adding swap. nothing seemed to work, expect getting the files off that nfs mount.
Has anyone see this kind of behavior with nfs mounted disks, specifically from an xraid? Due to the cost, I'd really like to start using xraids for some cheap oracle disks, but this experiment doesn't make it look good.
thanks.

it was a temporary mount, in what way doesn't it work? As I described?
I'm not too worried about working through it with support at the moment ( time is not something I have alot of at the moment ), I accomplished what I needed to do at the time, but in the long run, being able to use xraids would be very nice.
