Sun/Oracle x86 blade BIOS features - disable cores?

Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to disable CPU cores on any Sun/Oracle x86 blades like it is possible, as example, on some HP x86 blades (E5600 Xeon series)?
If this is the case does anyone know if it is possible to license a quad core CPU as an dual core using this feature?
Thank your for your replies :-)

Hi
Can anyone help me to search Sun Oracle low configuration platforms, where I can install Solaris 11 x86 arch as well as Red Hat, Suse & OEL operating systems?
Please suggest SUN Brand HBA & CNA cards which I have to connect these Sun Oracle servers.
Thanks in advance

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.

New free Runtime license for Oracle xe, and more features

This comment is related to the other post, but is different.
Why oracle don't have a free runtime license like Ms Access.
Maybe having more restrictions, allowing several instance at a time.
Having more features to make easier to install for small programs.
Thinking to write an small application I ask my self why an Oracle dba, can't use Oracle as the end database, and I have to use Ms Access.
Maybe the size of the database could be reduced, and not include apex, I think could even block database procedures, but to enable an option, please.
I ask to Oracle, to please think a solution to replace msaccess runtime, etc., making easier the install, desintall, etc. for very very very small databases.
Thanks.

Hello,
though I'm not an Oracle representative, I have an opinion on your request I want to share with you.
Oracle Database has some features which by design won't allow easy embedding. Disabling those features isn't really easy and you wouldn't look at just some features less but at a software that behaves differently in wide areas. What would be the advantage to use it?
I don't think you have to use MS Access, though. There are small embeddable databases available, even from Oracle (Oracle Berkeley DB to name one). So why should Oracle re-invent the wheel by downgrading a full-featured database that long that it is embeddable when other projects started to support this by design already?

Your recommendations on budget mobo with descent bios features?

I need a new motherboard for work, so its a budget board with descent bios features I will overclock but am unlikely to go ballistic. Also I thought I'd use integrated video. I will also be replacing the cpu and was likely to get AMD possibly dual core so I guess I will stick with a 939 version. What are your thoughts?

Quote from: amt on 02-June-06, 17:42:07
what about this one http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=693, Website doesn't detail what bios options they have.
Download the manual for it and read through the boards bios manual section . (thats what I did with the other one)

K8N SLI Platinum hidden bios features?

Does the K8N SLI Platinum have any hidden bios features? if so, how do I get access to them? (I have read how to do it on the other NEO boards, and have tried that, but it did nothing). The manual does not say anything about it. And all searches on this forum only turns up info about NEO/NEO2 boards.

Quote from: Stick on 19-December-05, 18:47:36
it all depends on the CPU that you have. what core is it?
Going to be running an Opteron 146. It has done 280x10 on my MSI Neo2 so i'm aiming for the same or more on my Sli Platinum.

Unlocking advanced BIOS features on GT80

Hello!
I am a very happy owner of the GT80, and so far everything works perfectly. I was made aware that you can unlock the advanced BIOS features of this machine, but I don't know how. I would like to try them and see what additional features can be tweaked.
Does anyone know how to unlock those features, like with my original MSI GX660R where you only had to hold Shift+CTRL+ALT+Insert ? hehehehe
I am particularly interested in memory clocks, CPU TDP/controls etc. Thank you!

Yes and no. Power consumption meters show that the GT80 with 4980HQ consumes around 326W total system power under load. That CPU can consume up to 80W on its own, while doing its own turbo. Intel 4720HQ can consume near 60W under same turbo conditions.
Obviously the system can take it, as it can hold this for about a minute until intel self regulates to the TDP of 47W. If we could adjust this to the same values the CPU already consume, like 60W, we could significantly improve long term performance.
If you overclock the GPU's though, that will surely consume more power. But at its current 330W psu, we have alot of headroom for the system to operate how it should without problems.
I wish we could set the TDP at 60W for the CPU. IT is quite limited right now when doing intensive tasks, often power throttling (not due to thermals but 47W tdp) and reducing its speed to 3Ghz, or even lower depending on the load. At 60W, we could maintain 3.6Ghz indefinitely.
Due to the low 47W TDP, there is hardly a difference in performance between any of the core i7 HQ processors, after 1 min of operation at full load.

I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?

I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Oracle 11g table compression feature

Is anybody using Oracle 11g's compression feature in production? I read a whitepaper on this and also read some forums/threads on this topic and so far I haven't read anything negative yet, that doesn't meant that there isn't anything that could have an adverse affect. I wanted to check with you guys out there to see if anyone is really using is this feature in production and see if there are any affects on the performance or any disadvantages of using this compression feature. I have tested this on one my major tablespace and I did see a big difference in the reduce size on the tablespace but I am still hesitated to put this into production. I would like to hear from you guys to see what you guys think?

I have tested this on one my major tablespace and I did see a big difference in the reduce size on the tablespace but I am still hesitated to put this into production.Nothing better than testing the solution before you can put into real.

1Z0-045: Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle 8i OCPs

Hi,
I was looking for right reference book for the 1z0-045 upgrade certification. I could not find any reference book that is related to this certification. Only one book have found out on Amazon site, which is "OCP Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Oracle Press) (Paperback)" published by McGraw Hill.
But this book does not show exem number 1z0-045 anywhere. So I am not sure, is it a right book to buy.
Please let me know if any one has any knowledge about that.
I appreciate for your information.
Thanks
Amit

The book you mention is for those individuals who are upgrading their 9i OCP to the 10g OCP. Since you are apparently upgrading from 8i OCP, there is possibly a gap in your learning. You might want to take a look at OCP Oracle9i Database: New Features for Administrators Exam Guide (Paperback) which explains the new features for Oracle 9i to someone coming from an 8i background. No additional exam would be needed in your case but this book may help to fill out your knowledge a bit. You could also take a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/toc.htm if you would rather not buy an additional book.

Implementation-specific documentation for the Sun/Oracle Java SE ?

Hi,
Some places in the Java SE API specification call for platform-specific documentation. For example, the specification of the method await of class java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition says:
"Implementation Considerations
The current thread is assumed to hold the lock associated with this Condition when this method is called. It is up to the implementation to determine if this is the case and if not, how to respond. Typically, an exception will be thrown (such as IllegalMonitorStateException) and the implementation must document that fact. "
So, implementation-specific documentation is expected to exist in addition to the API specification documentation. Sure, sentences beginning with "Typically..." suggest that that is what the Sun/Oracle reference implementation does, so the behavior of Sun/Oracle implementation can be guessed in many cases... yet sometimes troubling uncertainty remains.
If implementation-specific documentation for the implementation exists, please let me know.
I apologize if I chose an inappropriate forum for this question, but there seems to be no forum for discussing documentation arrangements.

If you want to look at the implementation sepcific documentation, the best place to look is the source.
The reason the docuementation is written generically is because they want you to write portable code, rather than rely on the specific implementation detail of the one you are using.
Even if you don't intend to use another vendor, you might want to upgrade in the future and Java 7 or 8 many change its implementations provided it meets the specification.

Gcc 4.2.1 sun solaris x86

We installed gcc 4.2.1 on sun solaris x86, but it does give me thousand of errors related to error lib and including. It used to be working under old version 3.4.3 compiler.
Here is an sample error(even the basic string function" strcmp" is not recongnized):
/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bits/c++locale.h: error: strcmp is not a member of std"
It turns out all the stand libraries are not compiled correctly.
Please help
