/tmp partition size for Solaris 10

Hi,
We are trying to install Oracle Enterprise Manager 10G release 5 on Solaris 10 machine and install is failing. Looking at installation guide for OEM 10.2.0.5, I find /tmp requirement for AIX and HP-UX but for Solaris it is not mentioned. How to find what is /tmp requirement for Solaris 10 ?
$ uname -a
SunOS xxxxxxx Generic_144500-19 sun4v sparc sun4v
This is error shown when emctl secure agent command is run from command line
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Thanks !!

Please advise. ThanksI'd look at it like this .....
Your Phyiscal Memory will be used somewhat as follows:-
- Lets say 1GB for the OS ...
- 1.5GB for zfs arc cahce if your useing ZFS.
- The sum of your PGAs and SGA's should fit within the remainder of ram.
- And your may want a little more to be sure and for other things; monitroting software agents, em etc.
In order that you can use more virtual memoy than you have physical memory for your will porably want to add a swap file, and for a 16GB machine this would probably be 4 / 8 or perhaps up to 16GB depending if would will occasionally have higher virutal memory demands or if poeple but big files in /tmp. In general swap -s can be used to monitor a shortage, though it can foolled if zfs_arc_cache is not limited.
The situation for zones not different unless you are using zone.max-swap and the physical capped memory.
If you have zone with a physical capped memory of 5GB, and a zone.max-swap of 8GB with is af the zone has a swapfile of 3GB; and you have to make sure:
- The global zone is able to give that amount of memory to the non-global zone.
- The global zone can provider the zone.max.swap from its virutal memory.
- That the sga+pga and /tmp usage and other will fit in zone.max-swap ... use swap -s in the zone to monitor.

Appropriate partition size for windows 7?

i just bought windows 7 and want to install it on my mac pro that i recently bought. i was wondering what's an appropriate partition size for windows 7 and if it matters whether i install the 32 bit or the 64 bit? i'm mainly using it for a game (league of legends) if that makes an difference. thank you for your time.
-Nikko

If you have more than 4GB of RAM or are planning on some time in the future to install more than 4GB of RAM use the 64 bit version. The 32 bit version can not address more than 4GB. Windows programs are now 64 bit. Your computer is 64 bit. 64 bit Windows runs 32 bit Windows programs. So there is no reason to install 32 bit Windows.
Windows 7 requires a lot of space. Then you need space for any data you create. I think that at a minimum you need 50GB plus data. I would opt for larger rather than smaller so the minimum I would partition is 100GB. If you conserve space now by making a small partition it is likely you will fill up that space quickly. You'll then wish you had made a larger partition initially. Search this forum, there are several questions on how to make a Boot Camp partition larger.

Partition size for Leopard

I am in the process of planning a new internal hard drive for my iMac G5 and am hoping for some advice. It will be a dual boot Tiger/Leopard partitioned 1TB drive (already purchased). I would like to maximize space in my third partition for non-sensitive files (music, photos, 40 hours and growing of home video) while leaving adequate space on the boot partitions to run the OS comfortably.
Any suggestions for partition sizes for Leopard and Tiger?

I read yesterday that a new Firewire standard is to be announced in October raising throughput to that seen on eSata drives. So maybe the new crop of external drives that will hit the market will make some of this issue disappear.
I am about to rebuild my Mac (500gb drive, Intel Core duo) and was thinking only three partitions would be necessary (OS X, BOOTCAMP / WinXP and DATA). I have an external video scratch disk for FCE.
However I am unsure how to ensure my USR folders are mapped to the DATA partition so that the 50GB is only for OS X and the applications. I have noticed the Library \ Application Support folder can get quite large depending on the apps installed.
Is there some sort of white paper or thread that gives advice on this?
Thanks

Max UFS filesystems size for Solaris 2.X

What are the max limits on UFS filesystem sizes for Solaris 2.6, 8 and 9?
Thanks

It's called a "search". ;) SunSolve Info Doc 76856.
Solaris 2.6 - 8 -- 1 TB limit
Solaris 9 and higher - 16 TB limit
Individual files, however, can only be about 1,012 GB.

Maximum Partition Size for External Drive using DU

Hello,
I just purchased a 750g Maxtor USB drive for use with Time Machine. When I went into DU to partition and format the drive I was surprised to find that every time I went to create a single partition using all available space, the operation would error out. I was however able to create two partitions with the largest one sized around 650g or so. I was using the Mac file system.
This just seems odd to me. Does OS X have a maximum allowable partition size that prevents me from creating one large partition?
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert
You should be able to delete the partition, try again using the instruction in the following article:

Maximum Core File Size for Solaris 8

I believe that RLM_INFINITY for Solaris for core file sizes comes to 2GB.
Is there any mechanism ( patch ) etc. by which this can be increasd ?

if your application is 32-bit, then the core file size would be limited to 4GB (by default) and if your application is
64-bit, then the core file size would be limited to usigned long max (by default).

Recommended Boot Camp Partition Size for Windows XP

All,
What size is recommended for a Windows XP Boot Camp Partition? 100Gb? 50Gb?
Main use is to run a few programs that are not available for Mac. Most everything else will be transferred over.
Thanks

Depending on the programs you want to install, you can get by with very little. I have virtual XP systems that live within 8GB virtual disks. If you've got the drive space, go for ~30GB. I've found that to be a nice size for running Windows 7 within, and thus you likely won't have to mess with re-partitioning should you update the OS in the future.

Partition size for clones

Hi all
in preparing an external drive to clone (CC Cloner) both my macbook pro and g5 would people recommend partition sizes on the external that matchthe physical size of the drives to be cloned or partition sizes that match the data used on the drives to be cloned plus a bit of free space ?
Kind Regards
Eric

At least 44GB, with more depending on
what you do
amount of RAM
64-bit (very slightly larger but better memory management)
page file
hibernation
Just room to breath is a factor.
SP1 and above require 10GB of free space
Any OS needs a 20% free space to function properly
What MS and Apple post are not partition sizes but how large Windows 7 is (16GB for 32-bit, 20GB for 64-bit) though.
apps, data, cache, thumbnails, photos, etc on top of that.
And how small your hard drive free space. You need to leave OS X with free space to function and grow too.
There is a forum for Windows on Mac / Boot Camp, and there is a forum for MacBook Pro owners too (not workstation community this was in)

Partition size for Time Machine

Just purchased 500 GB Maxtor OneTouch4Plus ex hd and want to set up partition to use TM to backup my 120 GB MacBkPro running Leopard. How big should the partition be for reasonable use?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello Pax4us,
3 - 4 times the space that your existing data takes up. Sooooo...
10 Gigs of data on the internal = 40 Gig partition size.
That said, with 500 available - 100 Gig will be OK too.

Max GPT partition size for Windows 2008R2

Is the max partition size 256tb -64K? for 64k stripe size?? What is the max?

Hi Jared,
From Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows XP x64 edition, and later versions, the maximum raw partition of
18 exabytes can be supported. (Windows file systems currently are limited to 256 terabytes each.)
GPT disks support partitions of up to 18 exabytes (EBs) in size and up to 128 partitions per disk.

Partition Sizes for 8iR2 on RH6.2

I want to install Oracle 8iR2 DB,iAS 1.0 and Dev 6i on RH6.2. I have a 3*10GB HDD(30 GB).
Could anybody suggest how much space I need to allocate for 'root,home and user'
If I allocate 15-17 GB for root(which occupies two Disks) will all the Oracle applications works
properly(especially iAS).
Would anybody suggest which is the best possible partition sizes can I keep.I want to
make the machine as Server for Oracle DB and apps.

I've done several Linux installations and
have seen this many times.
The previous post is correct. Apply the
glib patch and you should be ok.
The only problem I have encountered with
the patch is that if you apply it as root
all of your oracle executables become owned
by root. Not a problem but violates a
preference of some. If you subsequently
want to chown on the files after the patch
do it before you create a db otherwise you will have to do it for all of your db files
too.

[ SOLVED ] Partition Sizes For New Arch Install ?

Hi All
I have just picked up a new 250gb HDD and i'm going to do a clean install of arch & openbox and would like to know what people would suggest for various partition sizes ?
/root
/swap
etc
I have 4gb ram so not sure if swap is a required !
Many Thanks

+1 on KlavKalashj's advice!
When the installer warns you about there not being a /boot partition either(besides the swap), then just select ignore, it's no problem at all!
If you do want a swap partiton(and don't hibernate), then I would say max 1gb imho.
For an Openbox based install, then I would say 10GB is more than enough(mine's 5, although with a tiling WM: Musca).
I don't keep the cache forever increasing, but empty it at times where I know everything is OK. Also, there's scripts available which cleans the cache up, like e.g. only keeping one revision back of each package.

What is the maximum partition size for windows on 128GB MBA?

I want to use Windows 7 as my primary OS on my 128GB MBA. How big can I make my windows partition? Is there anything special I need to do?

You have two options.
1. Put OSX on an external drive - OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support and make your internal disk to be fully Windows.
2. Use minimal OSX size between 16-32G, and the remainder for Windows.

Oracle's recommended Swap Size for Solaris 10 Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.2)
