Solaris 10 x86 upgrade

Anyone successfully completed an upgrade of Solx86 10 01/06 to 06/06? (Please note the system is not configured to be able to use live upgrade� damn)
I would like to be able to use ZFS, but the node is running 4 zones and 2 are rather critical. The host is also SAN attached.
Any input on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I would like to be able to use ZFS, but the node is

How to upgrade oracle 32 to 64 bit on sun solaris x86 64 bit OS?

Hi,
I want to upgrade/convert 32 bit Oracle Database 10.2.0.2 to 64 bit database. Existing 32 bit database is RAC and it is running on Sun Solaris X86 64 bit OS.
First, I want to know is it possible?
If yes, then what are the exact steps?

Hi,
Such a migration can be done, just follow the steps in Metalink note 62290.1
It is important to remember that 64-bit database requires more shared pool memory so you should increase your shared pool size.

From 7.3 on NT to 8 on Solaris x86?

Has Oracle ported Oracle8 for Solaris x86?

Hi,
usually I expect people to do a little research and I do not give everything chewed.
Point 4:
go to the
Oracle9i Database Migration Release 2 (9.2)
go to the chapter 3
Upgrading a Database to the New Oracle9i Release
go to the point:
Upgrade the Database Manually
Exactly from here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96530/upgrade.htm#1009200
Keep in mind
1) that the EXACT procedure you are following it is not indicated in this manual
2) you have to think a little ( do you have all the windows services created on the destination system? if not, you have to create them ... )
3) this procedure is not supported by SAP. It is a valid option but not supported by them. You have to practice until you get all the points correctly

Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris x86 using vmware

Guys,
I am practising 10g RAC installation on my laptop, wherein I have vmware workstation and

R12 test instance in solaris X86 OS

Hi All,
One of our customer is planning to upgrade their EBS 11i to r12 in solairs. Is it possible to keep the R12 test instance in solaris x86 os?

One of our customer is planning to upgrade their EBS 11i to r12 in solairs. Is it possible to keep the R12 test instance in solaris x86 os?No, as this OS is not supported for Oracle EBS.
You can use Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit) or Linux OS.

10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 patchset for Solaris x86 64-bit

I'm having difficulty in locating the patch (or patchset) to upgrade my 10.2.0.1 database to 10.2.0.3
This is for the Solaris x86 64-bit platform.
I'm using the metalink patches area but am baffled on how to find what I need.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance
Mark
EDIT... I believe I found what I was looking for ... Patchset 5337014 ... took me a while but I believe this is the one.

Dell Hardware on Linux or Solaris x86

Hi,
My company is considering moving to dell hardware in a move to drive TCO down. We currently run Sun sparc (240, 490,890) servers and they are nearing end of life. Doing the research, even visited some vendors and from what we've seen, running either RH 5 or even Solaris (x86) on Dell could prove to be a good move. We're running mostly 10.2 databases with a couple of 9.2 that we hope to have upgraded by year end.
Has anyone made a similar move and what is your experience? I worked on Dell about 4 years ago and back then we felt there were reliability issues. They crashed a little too often for my liking. I realize some of it was do to OS panics and not just hardware but that is part of the package.
Any feedbackup would be greatly appreciated.

If you're going to go Dell, you might aswell go the whole way and run RedHat.
Aside from the support issues mentioned (I'm not familiar with that aspect) Solaris has a history of being much more expensive to run (largely due to the cost of the employees that know it) with the major advantage being: better integration with Sun hardware.
As for Dell reliability, there's a reason we're an HP shop..

DB migration from RHEL 5 to Solaris x86(64bit)

DB version : 11.1.0.7
Platform : RHEL 5 (64bit)
We would like to move our non-ASM 11.1 DB which is currently in Linux (RHEL 5) to Solaris 10 x86 (64bit).
Both RHEL 5 (64bit) and Solaris x86 (64bit) are of LITTLE ENDIAN format.
1. I gather that I have to use RMAN's CONVERT DATABASE for this. Any Metalink note or URLs relevant to this migration ?
2. Would the migration be easier if my DB was in 11.2 ? I could upgrade my DB to 11.2 if there are any advangtages from migration point of view?

You can use transportable tablespace option to move database accross platforms.
First, you must check tablespace dependecies.
Check whether your tablespace can transfer or not?
SQL> exec dbms_tts.transport_set_check('TEST_TS',TRUE);
SQL> select * from transport_set_violations;
set status of tablespace which you want to move to Read-only.
SQL>alter tablespace test_ts read only;
Convert datafiles of tablespace
RMAN> convert tablespace test_ts to platform 'HP-UX (64-bit)' format='/tmp/test01.dbf';
Export tablespace metadata using data pump export
expdp talip/talip directory=dump_dir dumpfile=test_ts.dmp transport_tablespaces=test_ts
copy datafile of tablespace to another db.
Import metadata to another db.
impdp talip/talip directory=dump_dir dumpfile=test_ts.dmp transport_datafiles=/data1/testts01.dbf

Connect to Oracle database from Perl on Solaris x86

Hi,
How can I connect to Oracle database using Perl scripts on Solaris x86. It seems that DBD-Oracle Perl module requires Oracle client installed to work. Is there any Oracle client available for Solaris x86? Any one got a workaround? Thanks.
Angus Lee

Yes, you absolutely must have some portions of the rdbms installed before you can proceed. If your Solaris x86 machine is only a client, then you can get away with installing just ?/rdbms/mesg and ?/rdbms/lib.
I have Oracle 7.3.4, 8.0.5, 8.0.6, and 8.1.6 for Intel Solaris 2.6. I don't know if they'll run on Solaris 8 or 9 but I'm trying to upgrade at this very moment. As long as you conform to Oracle developer license, then you may download them from my machine.
I believe the reason Oracle dropped their Intel Solaris port is probably because Sun went through a period where they themselves dropped their Intel port. They've picked back up and if enough Oracle on Intel Solaris customers scream, then Oracle might pick it back up again too.
Send me an email if you're interested in the downloads.

Oracle InstantClient for Solaris x86

Hi,
Do you Oracle oracles foresee Instant Client upgrades for the Solaris x86 platform? It seems to be stuck at 10.1.0.3.
I ask because we just picked up four Oracle CPU licenses, installed RAC, and hoped to put all of our apps on those nifty AMD Opteron-based boxes that Sun is manufacturing these days.
Thanks!

Oracle never released a 9i port for Solaris on x86; There is however full
support (including a 64 bit version) of 10G

Mounting a Solaris x86 CD/DVD from a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive

Greetings, all.
Is it possible to mount a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive? I have the Solaris 10x86 Companion Software DVD sitting in a CD/DVD-ROM drive that's installed on a Windows server on my network. It is shared-out (F:) and the two servers can ping each other. I've also confirmed the NFS services/daemons are running on the Solaris x86 machine. I've tried the following variations but, all have failed to produce successful results:
# mount -F nfs x.x.x.x:/f /mnt
nfs mount: x.x.x.x: : RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retrying: /mnt

I've also tried mounting it at bootup by adding the appropriate entry in the /etc/vfstab file but, this does not work as well. I've tried Google'ing for an answer to my issue but, I haven't been able to find anything that applies directly to what I'm reporting. It's usually chatter about mounting from one UNIX server to another. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

After three weeks, you deserve a reply. Windoze does
not natively support NFS.Also deserves a decent answer...
There are two ways to do this:
Install Microsoft's free "Windows Services for UNIX," which includes a Windows NFS server; or
Install the 'sharity' package (google for it); it provides Solaris systems the ability to mount Windows shares

Oracle 8.1.5 Client/WLS/Solaris x86

has anyone been able to get Oracle's client 8.1.5 running on Solaris x86 in conjunction with WLS to talk to back-end Oracle? Any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks.

This will not work. We have not built the native libraries to work with
Solaris on Intel..
I suggest trying the platform independent type 4 JDBC driver available for
free from Oracle. It is supported (as is any JDBC driver) with WebLogic
Server. To download it:
Go to http://www.oracle.com and select the "Download" option.
From the resulting page, use the "Select Utility or Driver" dropdown to
select Oracle JDBC drivers
From the resulting page, scroll down a little (since SQLJ stuff appears at
the top).
Or, to go directly there:

Install error for Oracle 10g on Solaris x86 64-bit. NETCA won't run

Hi All,
I'm installing Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Solaris x86 64-bit. I run the Oracle installer and all runs well until the NETCA portion of the install. It then errors (error file below). When i attempt to run NETCA outside of the installer i'm getting the same error output. I have verified my OS version and that all dependent packages are installed. I'm not sure what is causing this. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

How to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center ?

Hello people,
I want to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center platform.
If I'm not wrong, SunMC doesn't run for Solaris x86, server and client only as console with Java.
In speat of it, I try to install Sun Management Center 3.0 Agent for Solaris x86.
It seems to be ok, install packages, but when execute es-setup script, intents to create the following directory:
/opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
I supose that in this directory, SunMC will install sparc binary files
At this point, I can't follow the installation and abort it.
Can anybody give me ideas to install and integrate my solaris x86 server on SunMC ?
Thanks

my problem is that i could not install the SMC agent on Red Hat Linux. as i could not find an easy document or steps to do so.
could you guide please?If you still have a copy of your SunMC media around, the same ["es-inst"|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/command-line-1?l=en&a=view] program you use to install Solaris Agents should work on Linux as well.

Hi
From the Unix prompt enter oemapp console(for v9.x). If you are using earlier versions it is oemapp console (for starting the console) and oemapp dbastudio(for starting dba studio)
For starting OMS enter: oemctrl start oms.
Hope this helps
