Sizing hardware for 11i on linux

Does anybody have any experience/insight sizing hardware for a new 11i install on linux? We've estimated that we'll have about 300 named users, using finance, manufacturing and hr modules. How big/many servers do we start with?

Based on the document provided by Oracle corp. for sizing stated that
70 users per CPU and 8mb memory is required for each user to access Oracle Apps 11i.
So, you can think of 8 processors of 900 MHZ and 16 Gb of memory.
Swap space could be created and single time of physical memory because the physical memory is huge.
Upgradeable option has to be take care in near future requirement.
If you running Production and Demo and Test on the same server in sense that again configuration require to increased up.
The hard ware sizing is only for Apps 11i.
Based on the other requirement to access to the legacy systems and all let me know version of the Oracle enterprise database and no of users could access that and then I can give the requirement.
You can reach me through email: [email protected] so that I could be able to fill your expectation.
Thanks and Regards

Database Sizing Question for 11i

I am looking to see if there is a spreadsheet or tool that would tell me the optimal database size, for 11i.
I understand there was one for 11 that would tell you the best size after you told it the number of suppliers you have, the number of inventory items available, number of accounts, etc...
Thanks
Sanjay

Stefan,
I guess both of us were writing at the same time and hence I missed your post edited part. Let me explain the user part. You can think about them in 3 different roles:
Named users - Number of users in the system which may or may not have "Guest" users. Not much useful for hardware sizing.
Logged On Users - Users currently logged on to the system not yet logged off and user logged on to the system but killed the browser. But they are still in the J2EE system holding memory with session info. They are useful for Memory sizing.
"Active Users" - They are doing sometime with some "think-time". They could be "high/medium/low" users based on the "think-time". They contribute to both CPU and Memory sizing.
Based on the above definitions (which may vary with different models) sizing will vary. Once you know your user profile (how many of them and how they use), you can use quicksizer to have some initial estimate. In case you have access to SAP fields and/or support, you can contact for some additional information. Those are useful for initial stage. If you have your system available, run some load tests to verify your initial estimate and refine them.
Thanks,
Swapan

Hardware sizing recommendations for B2B Server

My customer Welch Foods Inc. is on 11i Oracle eBusiness Suite and is planning to uptake the latest 1Sync integration features in the PIM product. For out-of-box AS2 connectivity with 1Sync - they are planning to use Oracle B2B Integration Server 10.1.2.3.
They have an average transaction volume of 30 transactions per month. One time - initial load of 20,000 transactions.
Based on the above estimates, they are looking for hardware sizing recommendations for the B2B server.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
Asmi Maharishi
SDM for Welch Foods.

Thanks for your reply!
Here are the responses to your queries:
1. Is B2B instance going to run alone in a box
Yes, B2B instance will run alone on a box.2. what will be the size of message
Messages can be anywhere from 5-20 KB3. how many messages will be part of a transaction.
It should be 2 - Registration and publication. But sometimes it depends on how successful the first “registration” goes. Typically we get one or two errors that the users go into PLM, correct and re-send.However, Looking at your current requirement, 30 transaction per month, we can easily address in a 4 GB machine itself.
Additionally, Oracle B2B supports 10+ messages per second in 32GB, 4 processor machine.
Memory suggested above is 4GB, does that take into account memory used by the 10G App server foot print or this is only to take care of messages? Also, how many Processors (Risk IBM) will be needed?

Swap hardware for 10.2 database Linux (datafiles reside on SAN server).

Hello Gurus,
I am planning to upgrade hardware for two production database servers (currently Oracle 10.1.0.3.0 on Linux AS3 32bit) to New Dell Poweredge 6850 64 bit Linux AS4 upgrqade 7, Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 with replication enabled on certain tables.
The database tablespaces and datafiles exist on a SAN storage server. I was wondering what is the fastest way to hook up the new servers and migrate or integrate the currrent two databases into the new hardware. I was looking at the old "export/import" but that would have some serious downtime. Transportable Tablespaces looks like an option- but I have no experience in it.
My new servers have Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 installed and the servers are named the same as the old servers. Is there a way to have the new servers point to the SAN storage and just "pick up" the existing tablespaces and datafiles for the existing two databases? I have retained the block_size on the new configuration of 8K.
What is the fastest way to get the new hardware up and running connecting to a SAN storage device "seeing" the old database.
I would love any advice, I have a metalink account- but I thought this type of question would be better suited for the masses of experts out there who may have gine through this exercise before.
Cheers,
blakey

Seems You want to migrate from 32bit architecture to 64bit?
Then for upgrade to 10gR2 see metalink note 316889.1
And as oracle will change from 32bit to 64bit as well (not only linux will 64 bit, but oracle software as well), then additional step for changing wordsize to 64bit is needed. And that is described in metalink note 62290.1
Migration: as Your db is on san storage (everything including controlfiles, parameter files and so on) - then create equal mountpoints on new server (stop databases on old server, mount db related disks from storage to the new server) and that's it - next part is upgrade and migration to 64bit wordsize.
Probably oracle software is installed on local disks and that means You will have to manualy copy $ORACLE_HOME/dbs - spfile, password file to the new server. And of course listener.ora, tnsnames.ora files as well.
You can reffer to this metalink note 363609.1 for more details
Of course, before go through all configuration (/etc/sysctl.conf and so, create equal /etc/oratab and adjust oracle user profile for new server).
And before starting anything - take a full backup of oracle database (hot or cold, whatever You preffer).

Out of disk space for Oracle 11i with Linux as OS

i want to add additional space for my server, currently i have (3) 36gb harddisk on raid 5 which add up to 108gb but since i am ran out of space for my data, i planned to add (1) 146gb though i can add 3 disk as i have 3 slots available, wont there be any complication if i add this as it is not the same with the current config? wont it affect my oracle application?

In my calculation, 3 36GB Disk under RAID5 add up 72GB. You could add your extra Disk for example on the /u01 mount point (standard for 11i apps). If you want to go for performance, you should consider another Disk with the same size and use RAID1, if that's available and hard disk mirroring is a requirement.

Sizing hardware

Hi there,
i'am looking for help to size our new server hardware for 10g without any special options like spartial, xmldb...

Please help me with choosing the Hardware for my new computer

I am creating a new editing machine that i will be using After effect, photoshop, flash, illustrator, and 3ds max. I do a lot of 3d and 2d animation, video editing and graphic design.
This is the system i am currently planing on building:
CPU: intel core i7 2600k ( I will be overclocking it to around 4.8 ghz)
Motherboard: Asrock p67 extreme6
Memory: G.Skill ripjaws x series 16gb ddr3 1600 cas latency 7
Graphics Card: Gtx 570
Power Supply: Rosewill bronze series 1000w
Hard drive: 4x Corsair F120 in raid 0
Case: Bitfenix collosus
Cpu cooler: Noctua Nh-d14
I have a budget of $2500 for this computer. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on things i should change or would recommend a completely different build for my budget.
Also i was wondering if the gtx 570 was a stupid choice and i should get a quadro 2000 instead. I dont do any gaming.
One last thing, do 4 ssd in raid 0 help at all or should i just get 8 hard drive in raid 10, or should i spend less money on hard drives.
P.S. I know that the the i7 2600k has been recalled but i am in no hurry to build this computer. Also feel free to recommend hardware that hasn't yet been released but will probably be out in the next 8 months.
P.S.S All of the programs i listed are CS5.

Agree with all from Todd, and some things I'd consider:
Dual CPUs will pack more rendering punch, especially in your 3D work.
Even though 16GB of RAM is generous, I'd consider more. Remember the rule: 2GB for each CPU core, plus some more for OS and other applications. If you're running 8 threads/cores for rendering, 24GB would be optimum.
While the hard drives will provide awesome performance in that config, it's a lot of money to spend on less than a terabyte of storage. RAID 0 is also pretty volatile, so be sure to run a reliable and regular backup system.
For my money, I'd probably use one good-sized SSD for a system drive, then 3 or 4 conventional (or hybrid SSD) drives for media storage, with a decent RAID controller. You'll get 3 times the storage for half the price, and still have quite zippy I/O speeds.

Setting up Load Balancing for 11i for Intranet & Internet Access

Our current environment for 11i (11.5.5) is accessed only internally (via Intranet). We need to allow outside access (via Internet) also for self-service apps (ie. HR). Oracle Support/Metalink has stated that Load Balancing (note 148155.1) is the only supported method to have multiple (Apps Servers) systems access a single database. Could I get feedback from anyone who has implemented Load Balancing for 11i? Additionally if someone has implemented this for both intranet and internet access how has your company setup? Do the secondary server(s) from the Load Balancing note reside in the DMZ? And thus the primary app server and database reside inside the firewall? Thanks....

Hi,
We are using 6 middle tiers for internal access for intranet access and 2 middle tiers in External DMZ with only web server running for Extrenal Access over Internet for Self Service.
You Implement one Load Balancer for first 6 internal Middle Tiers with site level profiles pointing to Internal .
You implement second Load balancer for external 2 middle tiers with server level profile options for these two servers pointing to External Load balancer .
To check how to implement load balancer vsiit

APPS 11i on Linux

Has anyone worked on Apps 11i on Linux ?
What version of Linux is required to install R11i ?
Thanks in advance.

You need Kernel version 2.2 or higher. I installed 11i on Redhat 6.1 which has 2.2.12-20 with out much problem. The only thing you might want to down load is the Motif Open Libraries from www.metrolink.com.
These libraies will be needed for bringing up the forms server after installation. Redhat does not ship these lib's with it.

Which version of Ocale 9i to download for Fedora Core Linux ?

Hi.
I just bought an external drive to install Red Hat Linux Fedora (which I got from Sams Teach Yourself ...).
Im looking here http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/index.html to decide which version of Oracle 9i I should use.
My new external drive is connected to my laptop, which is an Inspiron 6000.
Any ideas ?
Thanks again.
DA

So if I installed 10g then, which one would I choose
for Fedora?
Linux x86
Linux x86 -64 ??
Thanks.Really ... rocket science ain't all that hard. Let's take a look at your rocket science:
if your hardware is 32 bit, any 64-bit stuff will not work.
if your hardware is 64 bit, and you chose a 32 bit operating system, any 64 bit applications will not work (and in this case the oracle database is an application)
if you hardware and your operating system are 64 bit, any 32 bit application or 64 bit application will work as long as you have the correct libraries (DLLs) installed.
then you decide whether the benefit of 64 bit is greater than the overhead of 64 bit
So ...........
if you have an Inspiron 6000 with the Pentium M processor, you may not have 64 bit capability.
if you have a 32-bit Fedora (which you don't bother stating, do you?) you may not have 64 bit capability
if you do not have 64 bit capability, don;t bother with the 64 bit version of Oracle.

Is there DAQ driver for MAC or Linux

I know for Labview there is version for Mac or Linux.
Just want to learn if there is DAQ driver for MAC or Linux, which can support USB DAQ.
Thanks.
Solved!

Hi Alex,
Lynn is correct. For using NI's USB DAQ hardware with Mac and Linux, the best and only driver to use is NI-DAQmx Base. The readme file lists what specific devices are supported, which specific Linux and OS X versions are supported, and which hardware features are supported.

Support for 64 bit Linux

Hey macromedia/adobe
When can we have support for 64 bit Linux? The problem is
that most new hardware
is moving towards 64 bit architectures. We have a brand new
server, RedHat
Enterprise 4, coldfusion will not run on it.
Direct Contact: [email protected]

I couldn't agree more - it's insane that an enterprise
product isn't supporting x86_64 instructions in 2007.
On a more constructive note - does anybody out there have a
compiled connector for RHEL or CentOS 4.X, the 64 bit version? I
ask because I've found numerous pages on the web describing how it
works great for people after they compile it on their own. Well, I
can't get it to work. I have CentOS 4.4 x64, and I try to run this
script after successfully installing CFMX 7.0.2 by using the method
to sed out the checks for the right kernels, etc. Here is the
script I try to run inside the connectors/src directory:
/usr/sbin/apxs -c -n jrun20 -S
LIBEXECDIR=/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/ mod_jrun20.c
jrun_maptable_impl.c jrun_property.c jrun_session.c
platform.c \
jrun_mutex.c jrun_proxy.c jrun_utils.c | more
/usr/sbin/apxs -i -n jrun20 -S
LIBEXECDIR=/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/ mod_jrun20.la
strip /opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun20.so
All the paths are correct, and when I run it I get about 1000
warning lines from apxs about invalid characters and such in the .c
file. Good times.
Can somebody tell me how the hell to get this to work on 64
bit CentOS 4.x? I'm going crazy here... and Adobe - GET OFF YOUR
***** AND PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ALREADY. IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE AMD
STARTED SHIPPING THEIR FIRST X64 BIT CHIPS.
This is approaching the no iTunes on Vista level of insanity
here....

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.
I am planning to buy a high performance PC to run my Windows and Linux servers as vitrual machines for my testing purposes.
Initially i planned to build my own computer with recommended configurations but considering space constaints and cooling factors i think Mac Pro can be a choice. But need some inputs if Mac pro (Intel Xeon E5, 12 GB RAM) is good for running virtual Machines.

You could even run Windows natively and still run your VM servers.
I have seen reports and such on MacRumors and elsewhere - run Windows natively as well as VMs (can also do testing and run Mavericks in a VM under Mavericks)
The fast internal PCIe-SSD, plus 6 or 8 cores, and 32-64GB RAM. Of course for $5,000 for 8-core, some Thunderbolt storage and 32GB/64GB RAM you can buy some serious hardware.

Hardware for oracle database

Hi,
is there any good documentation source where I can find information about hardware which is good to use for oracle database.
I need to select new hardware for single instance OLTP database with ~ 150 users. Db size is not big. < 50 gb. OS - Linux Red Hat.
Any advices?
M.

Ideally you should get some benchmarking regarding your requirements and then you can choose on the Hardware. The budget also matters here.
You need to identify the response time required for all number of users, concurrent users and total size of the database. Now a days people opt Intel based (not much costly compared to SUN,IBM) and Linux operating system also.
There is no clear cut guideline.

Do you use hardware 3D acceleration in Linux?

I'm wondering, how many Linux users use hardware 3D acceleration drivers (for OpenGL) in Linux, and if not, why not
-no hardware that supports it (do such video cards even exist today?)
-ideological reasons
-no need for it
-no drivers available
-other reason?
By 3D hardware acceleration I mean true drivers that use the graphics cards 3D hardware to render anything (even 2D textures), such as the NVidia or ATI drivers.
Mesa Software Rasteriser drivers appear to be the alternative if you don't have 3D accelerated drivers, so if you have these, please answer No.
I'm asking this to figure out how many Linux users I'm excluding if I create software that requires hardware 3D acceleration.

Running an HD4850 on the open-source xf86-video-ati drivers, so thats the "radeon" driver.
I run without a xorg.conf, so getting that configured properly... No need
2D works splendidly. Besides the normal apps on your desktop I also play Battle of Wesnoth from time to time, and I recently installed StarCraft using Wine. To get in the mood for StarCraft II, my little bro is a beta tester.
3D works, I run a composite desktop which works great. I also tried QuakeLive, runs terrific.
I haven't been able to get Sauerbraten to run properly. Well the game runs properly, but the graphics doesn't (a lot of stuff is see-through for me). But as the drivers improve, I expect things to get better. Performance optimizations would come after that. So that is still a work-in-progress but the basics are there.
For serious 3D gaming I hop over to the Win7 install. Set that up that specifically for the purposes of gaming. Helps to keep my productivity up
