Start ds6 at boot in red hat?

I cannot find this info in manual. How do I set up the ds to start up upon system boot in red hat? When I installed ds6 on rhel 4 I did not choose startup at boot option. I recall that being an option although I may be wrong.
The ds instance is started by root but then run by another user on the system. In other words, the ds as its own runtime user that is not root.
I do have a file /etc/init.d/dsee_directory and this is set to run on boot but its not working. Maybe I need to edit this file and/or set ds path variable for system.

issue the following as root: dsadm autostart /path/to/your/instance

  • Order of installing Windows XP, Solaris & Red Hat Linux...

    Hi all,
    If I were to install Windows XP, Red Hat Linux & Solaris in intel dual core machine, in which order do I proceed to install. First Windows XP, then Solaris & Linux, I believe. Am I right. If not, please correct me.
    Thanks,
    ...

    Although posted under different title and content, your most recent thread
    Windows and Solaris not booting on a Windows, Solaris and Linux Machine.
    is actually the duplicate of this thread.
    The right order of install is Windows XP, RHEL, Solaris. Because, if the Linux is the last installed OS, the Linux version of GRUB will be installed on the MBR (Master Boot Record), and you will not be able to boot Solaris. Why? Because the Linux GRUB doesn't currently recognize Solaris VTOC (Volume Table Of Contents) and UFS (Universal Disk Format File System) formats. Only the Solaris version of GRUB works as common loader for Solaris and Linux. Since you installed Linux as the last OS (as per your duplicated thread), you can try to chainload from the Linux GRUB by modifying the grub.conf on Linux, eg:
    # cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
    default=2
    timeout=15
    color white/blue black/cyan
    title Windows XP
         rootnoverify (hd0,0)
         chainloader +1
    title Solaris 5.10
         root (hd0,1)
         makeactive
         chainloader +1
         boot
    title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
         root (hd0,2)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
         initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.imgwhere
    (hd0) is the first (bootable) BIOS physical disk, and GRUB boot loader is installed on its MBR
    (hd0,0) is the first primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Windows XP
    (hd0,1) is the second primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Solaris 5.10
    (hd0,2) is the third primary partition of the first BIOS disk - RHEL-4
    Modify this according to your real disk partition map if it's necessary.
    If this doesn't work (at least it should work for Windows and Linux), then I suggest reinstalling all three OSs from the ground up. A year ago I successfully installed Windows Server 2003, RHEL-4.5 and Solaris 10 on single 250 GB physical disk. You can follow my procedure. Before that, boot the system with the first RHEL-4 installation CD, type "linux rescue" and press Enter. When linux console appears, delete all partitions using fdisk. Or, alternatively, type
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=2048This will erase your Master Boot Record and MBR Partition Table inside it, even much more filling out 2 MB continuous disk area with zeros. Restart the system, insert Windows installation media and start the procedure:
    1. install Windows XP as the first OS. If it doesn't matter, create only one 25 GB C: drive on the entire primary partition rather than 10 GB C: and 15 GB D: drives, unless you are not sure Solaris had overwritten the D: drive on the extended partition
    2. install RHEL-4 as the second OS. At this point you will be able to access Windows and RHEL-4 from GRUB. Boot RHEL-4 and navigate to /boot/grub/grub.conf. As you might need this information later, copy or make a note of the Linux entry on paper. The entry is something like this:
    title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
         root (hd0,1)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
         initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.img3. install Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) as the third OS. That way the Solaris version of GRUB will overwrite Linux GRUB in MBR and will be installed as the common loader for all three OSs. At this point your system might be set to boot all three operating systems. If not, you will be able to access the Solaris and Windows only. In that case boot Solaris, navigate to /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the Linux entry you copied from Linux grub.conf in the step 2. The next time you restart the system, you should be able to boot all three operating systems using Solaris version of GRUB.

  • IPlanet 7.0.15 on Red Hat - Problems starting web server

    I completed the installation of iPlanet 7.0.15 on Red Hat Linux 5. The Admin server starts fine, however when I attempt to start the web server I get the following error:
    Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.15 B04/19/2012 21:52
    catastropheinfo: CORE3282: stdout: Error occurred during initialization of VM
    info: CORE3282: stdout: Unable to load native library: /opt/Apps/libjava.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    : CORE4005: Internal error: unable to create JVM
    failure: server initialization failed
    I am not sure what is causing this error? I selected the default, "Install JDK that is provided with iPlanet" and it is located in directory:
    /opt/Apps/Oracle/webserver7/jdk
    I am not sure why the native library in /opt/Apps/libjava.so is being referenced.
    I have tried several things including installing Java in /usr/bin from a download from Oracle. It appears to work just fine.
    I have installed and reinstalled - same problem.
    Any ideas?

    Okay this one turned out to be fairly simple. It was a permissions issue. One of my top level directories (/opt/Apps/Oracle) did not have world execute permissions. Once I changed the directory permissions the web server came up fine. It only took me 5 days to find this and fix it.

  • "Could not start Agent" with SunMC 3.6.1 on Red Hat Enterprise release 4

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to install the Linux agent from the SunMC 3.6.1 installation dvd on a RedHat system (kernel 2.6). The installation seems to go fine, but while seting up the agent I recieve the following eror:
    /opt/SUNWsymon/base/sbin/xget: error while loading shared libraries: libxcfg.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    /opt/SUNWsymon/base/sbin/xput: error while loading shared libraries: libxcfg.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Naturally, in the end you get the message "Could not start Agent"...
    Has anybody experienced this with a RedHat system or any other Linux system?

  • Unable to start oracle app server 10g through opmnctl file Red Hat linux

    Hi gurus,
    I have a VM (Red Hat Linux based). I am not able to start my application server 10g through opmnctl file (exists in opmn/bin folder).
    I open that folder opmn/bin through terminal and write the following command
    opmnctl startall
    nothing is happening... is there any way to start the server through GUI?
    can you please guide me.
    Thanks

    process has been started now..Please post the result of$ $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl status
    after that when I run the it from browser nothing is comming..Don't you get any error ?
    for app server admin i wrote http://pcname:port/
    This should work. Is port the correct one ? Check out $ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini. Did you try IP address, instead of pcname ? Do you have any active firewall on your linux server ?
    for simple form run http://pcname:port/frmservlet/
    This one should be http://pcname:port/forms/frmservlet

  • StarOffice8 On Red Hat Linux x_86_64 Won't Start

    I've just purchased the upgrade to StarOffice8 and installed it on my Red Hat Linux (AMD-64). The installation finished without any errors at all. I checked and all files were installed. However, when I start any of the apps, nothing displays. I can see the processes with 'ps' command but nothing on screen. I've changed the monitor resolution as described in the README, nothing works. All other X-WIndows stuff works fine. I have a pretty standard video card, the Nvidia FX 5200 and Red Hat came with drivers for that adapter. Can anyone help with this?

    Hi Mink,
    Confirm you have 1.5 GB free in /tmp. If not you can point the installer to another location -- set the variables TEMP, TMP, TEMPDIR to that new directory if you need to.
    Regards,

  • 8.1.7 Installer wont start on Linux Red Hat 7.2

    Has anyone experienced this?

    Installing Oracle8i on Red Hat Linux 7.1 / 7.2
    by Jeff Hunter, Sr. Database Administrator
    Overview
    The following article is a summary of the steps required to successfully install the Oracle 8i (8.1.7) database on Redhat Linux 7.1 and 7.2.
    Downloading / Unpacking the Oracle 8i Installation Files
    Download Oracle 8i from Oracle's OTN Site.
    (If you do not currently have an account with Oracle OTN, you will need to create one. This is a FREE account!)
    http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle8i/htdocs/linuxsoft.html
    Unpack the downloaded file:
    % tar xvf linux81701.tar
    You should now have a directory called "Disk1" containing the Oracle 8i Installation files:
    /Disk1
    Swap Space Considerations
    Installing Oracle 8i requires a minimum of 128MB of memory.
    (An inadequate amount of swap during the installation will cause the Oracle Universal Installer to either "hang" or "die")
    To check the amount of memory / swap you have allocated, type either:
    % free
    - OR -
    % cat /proc/swaps
    - OR -
    % cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
    If you have less than 128MB of memory (between your RAM and SWAP), you can add temporary swap space by creating a temporary swap file. This way you do not have to use a raw device or even more drastic, rebuild your system.
    As root, make a file that will act as additional swap space, let's say about 300 MB:
    % dd if=/dev/zero of=tempswap bs=1k count=300000
    Now we should change the file permissions:
    % chmod 600 tempswap
    Finally we format the "partition" as swap and add it to swap space:
    % mke2fs tempswap
    % mkswap tempswap
    % swapon tempswap
    Download and Install Libraries
    Before running the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI), you will need to install several RPMS. Failing to install these packages will cause the installer to fail. (In fact, the OUI will not even appear)
    You will find these RPMS within your Redhat 7.1 distribution CD set:
    compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm (CD1)
    compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.14.i386.rpm (CD2)
    compat-libs-6.2-3.i386.rpm (CD2)
    You can also find these RPMS on Redhat's website:
    ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm
    ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.14.i386.rpm
    ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/compat-libs-6.2-3.i386.rpm
    Install the following RPMS as the "root" user account:
    % rpm -i compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm
    % rpm -i compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.14.i386.rpm
    % rpm -i compat-libs-6.2-3.i386.rpm
    Install the Java Development Kit (JDK)
    In order to use Oracle's HTTP [Apache] Server, you will need to download the appropiate JDK 1.2.2 from Sun.
    As per the JDK documentation, install JDK under /usr/local.
    Then create a symbolic link to the JDK under /usr/local/java.
    Sun's JDK 1.2.2
    Download from: http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/download-linux.html
    Install as root:
    % cp jdk-1_2_2_009-linux-i386.tar.gz /usr/local
    % gunzip jdk-1_2_2_009-linux-i386.tar.gz
    % tar xvf jdk-1_2_2_009-linux-i386.tar
    % ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.2.2 /usr/local/java
    % rm jdk-1_2_2_009-linux-i386.tar
    Create Oracle Account and Directories
    Create Oracle User Account:
    % groupadd -g 115 dba
    % useradd -u 173 -c "Oracle Software Owner" -d /u01/app/oracle -g "dba" -m -s /bin/bash oracle
    % passwd oracle
    Create Oracle Directories:
    % mkdir /u01
    % mkdir /u01/app
    % mkdir /u01/app/oracle
    % mkdir /u01/app/oracle/product
    % chown -R oracle:dba /u01/app/oracle
    % mkdir /u03
    % mkdir /u03/app
    % mkdir /u03/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u03/app/oradata/<ORACLE_SID>
    % chown -R oracle:dba /u03/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u04
    % mkdir /u04/app
    % mkdir /u04/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u04/app/oradata/<ORACLE_SID>
    % chown -R oracle:dba /u04/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u05
    % mkdir /u05/app
    % mkdir /u05/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u05/app/oradata/<ORACLE_SID>
    % chown -R oracle:dba /u05/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u06
    % mkdir /u06/app
    % mkdir /u06/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u06/app/oradata/<ORACLE_SID>
    % chown -R oracle:dba /u06/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u07
    % mkdir /u07/app
    % mkdir /u07/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u07/app/oradata/<ORACLE_SID>
    % chown -R oracle:dba /u07/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u08
    % mkdir /u08/app
    % mkdir /u08/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u08/app/oradata/<ORACLE_SID>
    % chown -R oracle:dba /u08/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u09
    % mkdir /u09/app
    % mkdir /u09/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u09/app/oradata/<ORACLE_SID>
    % chown -R oracle:dba /u09/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u10
    % mkdir /u10/app
    % mkdir /u10/app/oradata
    % mkdir /u10/app/oradata/<ORACLE_SID>
    % chown -R oracle:dba /u10/app/oradata
    % mkdir /opt/bin
    % chown oracle:dba /opt/bin
    Oracle Environment Variable Settings:
    An example ".bash_profile" is provided in the Configuration Files / Scripts section below.
    Ensure to set the environment variable: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
    Also make sure to "source" the following:
    source /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
    Run the Oracle Installer
    As the "oracle" user account:
    Set your DISPLAY variable to a valid X Windows display.
    % DISPLAY=<Any X-Windows Host>:0.0
    % export DISPLAY
    NOTE: If you forgot to set the DISPLAY environment variable and you get the following error:
    Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
    you will then need to execute the following command to get "runInstaller" working again:
    % rm -rf /tmp/OraInstall
    If you don't do this, the Installer will hang without giving any error messages. Also make sure that "runInstaller" has stopped running in the background. If not, kill it.
    Change directory to the Oracle installation files you downloaded and extracted. Then run: runInstaller.
    % cd /Disk1
    % ./runInstaller
    During the installation, DO NOT choose to "Create A Database". This how I answered the questions:
    Inventory Location: /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory
    UNIX Group Name: dba
    Full path name of the Oracle Home: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
    Oracle Univeral Installer in: /u01/app/oracle/oui
    JDK Home: /usr/local/java
    Errors during the Relink Phase of the Install
    During the "Relink Phase" of the install, you will get several errors. When any of the relinks do fail during installation just keep pressing "ignore". After running "root.sh", and you are at the point when you are at the "Network Configuration screen", you will need to close the installer as this will also not work due to the earlier relink problem.
    After exiting the Installer, you need to apply patch for bug 1467074 (as the "oracle" OS user). Now you should be able to run ORACLE executables. To install the Oracle patch for bug 1467074, run the following in your ORACLE_HOME as the "oracle" user account:

  • Installation of Oracle AS 10g on Red Hat ES 3.0

    Installation of Oracle AS 10g on RedHat ES 3.0 (All issues are cleared and u will b done with no error like Java Configuration Failed and make files errors)
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Custom Installation
    Copy from OTN Note
    Start
    Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
    1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
    o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
    2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
    o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
    o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
    3.     Language Selection
    o     Accept the default.
    4.     Keyboard Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    5.     Welcome Screen
    o     Click on Next.
    6.     Mouse Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    7.     Installation Type
    o     Select Custom.
    8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
    o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
    (WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
    This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
    The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
    - 100MB /boot partition
    -1,500MB swap partition—Set this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
    -7,150MB root partition— This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
    9.     Boot Loader Configuration
    o     Accept the default.
    10.     Network Configuration
    o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
    o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
    o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
    o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
    11.     Firewall Configuration
    o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
    12.     Additional Language Support
    o     Accept the default.
    13.     Time Zone Selection
    o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
    14.     Set Root Password
    o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.
    15.     Package Group Selection
    o     Select only the package sets shown here. Leave all others unselected.
    o     Desktop
    - X Window System
    - Gnome
    - KDE
    - See my comments in the RHES 2.1 section regarding choice of GUI.
    o     Applications
    - Editors

    o     Click on Next to proceed.
    16.     About to Install
    o     Click on Next.
    17.     Installing Packages
    o     Software will be copied to the hard disk and installed. Change disks as prompted, and click on Next when the installation is complete.
    18.     Graphical Interface (X) Configuration
    o     Accept the defaults unless the installer does not recognize your video card. If your video card is not recognized, you will not be able to continue.
    19.     Monitor Configuration
    o     Accept the default if the installer correctly identifies your monitor. Otherwise, select a compatible monitor from the list.
    20.     Customize Graphical Configuration
    o     Accept the defaults.
    21.     Congratulations
    o     Remove the installation media from the system, and click on Next.
    22.     The system automatically reboots and presents a new welcome screen.
    o     Click on Next.
    23.     License Agreement
    o     Read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, select Yes, I agree to the License Agreement and click on Next.
    24.     Date and Time
    o     Set the Date and Time.
    o     If you want to use an NTP server (recommended), select Enable Network Time Protocol and enter the name of the NTP server.
    25.     User Account
    o     Create an account for yourself.
    o     Do not create an account for oracle at this time. Creating the oracle account is covered later in this section.
    26.     Red Hat Network
    o     If you want to use or activate your Red Hat Network account now, accept the default, click on Next, and follow the product activation instructions that accompanied your Red Hat product.
    27.     Additional CDs
    o     Click on Next.
    28.     Finish Setup
    o     Click on Next.

    Same as done with relink file in Middle tier installation. I would like to turn ur attention for a serious problem no one asked about it. Here u have seen that a script make 3 file in /usr/local/bin for infrastructure and middle tier when u finished infrastructure’s installation plz rename that 3 files as
    Mv coredb coredb-infra
    Mv dbhome dbhome-infra
    Mv ora     â€¦     ora…-infra
    If u overwrite that files by creating same name of middle tier files no problem.
    When problem comes?
    AS will work fine but when u have to install patches on AS then problem comes if u have overwrite that files. So plz rename them before creation of same files of middle tier. Thanx

  • Prime setup 2.0.0.0.294-2-K9 asks for Red Hat CD

    Ok since i have this problem with a Cisco Prime
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12333166/ncs-prime-lost-licenses-after-application-restore
    I decided to do a complete re-install.
    Since this is a physical appliance i downloaded the PI-APL-2.0.0.0.294-2-K9 image and burnt it on a DL DVD.
    Yesterday i was onsite and booted from the DVD the process starts.
    Selected the re-install option with Keyboard & Monitor attached then the setup starts and we get the "Welcome to Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server" screen after a few minutes i get a pop up asking me for the Red Hat Linux CD.....
    After trying this a few times i canceld it and removed the Prime from the rack todo a re-install at my company.
    Here i have the same problem.
    I do have an NCS-APL-1.1.1.24-1-K9 image from an earlier crash and this works fine.
    But i dont really want to do the upgrade process from 1.1 --> 2.0 again since there is an image available with a clean 2.0.0.94 install.
    The appliance type is PRIME-NCS-APL-K9 V02
    Anyone have an idea ?

    Hi Danjan,
    ****These patches cannot be applied via cli and can only be applied from GUI of Prime*****
    Go to the link below and download the "pi_dev_pack_update_2.0-10.ubf"
    http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284422771&flowid=45323&softwareid=28
    4272933&release=2.0.10&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=all
    After downloading the file, go to "Administration > Software Update", click upload
    update file, browse to the file location that you've downloaded. 
    Once the file has beenuploaded, you can select the update and click install. 
    After installing, it shouldindicate "Pending Restart" = Yes.  You will likely need to
    go to the cli and do an "ncs stop" and then "ncs start".
    Hope it will help
    Thanks-
    Afroz

    Try booting to our live image and see if that lets you use the mouse and keyboard. http://linux.dell.com/files/openmanage-contributions/omsa-71-live/
