Unbreakable Linux Support

Hi All,
Does anyone know if we (will) officially support Unbreakable Linux (based on RedHat but we will release our own patches) for SOA 10.1.3.1? I have a customer who wants a "one stop shop" for support.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi there:
Please go to :
http://linux.oracle.com/supported.html
for checking current supported release.
I am not sure if you are saying oracle lifetime support:
Enterprise Linux Premier Support Enterprise Linux Premier Support will be available for five (5) years [support years one (1) through five (5)] from the date a release of the Enterprise Linux program becomes generally available.
I wish
http://www.oracle.com/support/collateral/enterprise-linux-support-policies.pdf
could help more to your 2nd question
I have no idea about 3rd question, sorry.

  • OCS on Oracle "UnBreakable" Linux?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to run OCS on Oracle "UnBreakable" Linux?
    Any information concerning this issue would be highly appreciated
    Thanks

    We have installed OCS 10.1.2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux AS release 4 without any trouble.
    Oracle Enterprise Linux is the Linux distribution, which is a copy from Redhat Enterprise Linux without the copyrighted material.
    Oracle Unbreakable Linux is the support program that Oracle provides for this OS.
    With an OCS CSI, TAR can be opened concerning OCS problem on Enterprise Linux, which is a supported distribution for OCS install.
    TAR related to Enterprise Linux operating system problems cannot be opened without subscribing to the Unbreakable Linux support.

  • Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?

    Dear,
    Is RDAC supported in Oracle Unbreakable Linux Kernel 2.6.32-100.0.19.el5?
    If supported, please point to the download link.
    We require this in order to plan for the OEL 5.5 kernel upgrade to ULK and to connect SUN SAN storage array 6180.
    Thanks,
    ...basha

    From what I can gather you will need to compile the driver from source in order to use the RDAC driver with the UEK kernel. Chances are that it won't compile properly under the UEK kernel, which is more up to date than the RHEL kernel.
    You will have to start the system from the supplied original RHEL kernel in order to use the binary IBM RDAC driver distribution. The following is available: http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds4000.aspx and http://www.lsi.com/sep/Pages/rdac/ds3000.aspx
    You may however be able to use Multipath, which is build in also in the UEK kernel. To get the current supported configurations for IBM System Storage it is best to use the interoperability matrices located at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/product/interop.html. You can use the link to the "System Storage Interoperation Center (SSIC)" to query your specific configuration (http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/ssic/interoperability.wss)

  • How to install 10.2 DB on Unbreakable Linux , should i use GCC 3.2 or 3.4 ?

    Hi !
    I'm trying to install Oracle 10.2 on Unbreakable Linux (installed in Virtual PC).
    My problem is on package gcc-3.2.
    On distribution of Unbreakable Linux download from Oracle web - there is no gcc-3.2, so i download and try to install gcc-3.2 from RedHat, that requires cpp 3.2-7.
    I have installed cpp 3.4.6 that i can't uninstall because xorg-x11 requeires it. I don't want to loose X11 in my Linux :(
    When i was try to use gcc-3.4.6-3.1 installation failed witch error :

  • Installing Application Server 10g 2 on Unbreakable linux

    Hello all,
    I wish to install Application Server 10g 2 on Oracle Unbreakable Linux EL5. Could someone please let me know if there are installation instructions for the App Server on EL5?
    Also, when I go to [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html] to download release 2 for Linux x86, the tooltip has the file named as "as_linux_x86_portal_wireless_101202_disk1.cpio". Does anyone know if this is actually the App Server???
    Last, but not least, I downloaded disk 1(I'm assuming it's the correct software) and tried to "unzip" it in /home/oracle to run the Universal Installer and Oracle Unbreakable Linux doesn't recognize the file extension .cpio. So my last question then would be is Oracle Unbreakable Linux even a suitable version of Linux to install the App Server on? Because it seems strange that the software Oracle has on its website can't even be opened on their own flavor of Linux.
    Any help answering my questions will be appreciated.
    -Thank You,
    David Wrbelis

    Hi,
    I did just a while ago.
    If you got a joice, use Unbreakable Linux 4 (RHEL4), 10g2 on Unbreakable Linux version 5 is not officially supported by Oracle!
    At least my Server was complaining about the system. After extracting the .cpio you can either use
    ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
    or go to redhat-release file (I'm not sure in the moment, I believe its /etc/redhat-release) and set it to version 4 instead of 5 until installation is done.
    You will get an error during installation, when it appears rename libXtst.so.6.0.0 to libXtst.so.6.0 and press retry, the installation will finish successfully.
    You might get an error that opmn could not start. Start it manually, the error won't appear, you can ignore it (press continue).
    Your config wizards should ALL be successful!
    About the file you downloaded, I was using a different one, since I only needed Forms and Reports service, you might want to have the full Server, so there are more than one correct downloads for 10g2. You need to look carefully what features you need or load full version (which would be several cds I believe).

  • Oracle 10g RAC on Oracle Unbreakable Linux 4, on 3 HP-DL380 Install Instruc

    I am searching for installation assistance (ie install guide) for Setting up an OUL4 RAC Cluster, I have found instructions using a VMserver but am interested in using 3 HP-DL380 machines. Is there a guide detailing such an installation or should I attempt to utilize the VMserver install guide, ignoring the VM references in support of 3 specific machines?
    Thank You for any assistance you can provide
    NickG

    I guess I need to specify that I will be responsible only for the "OS" Side of management and installation of the system. Do I follow the standard installation, of a standard download of Oracle Unbreakable Linux on each of the 3 machines, and then continue with RAC cluster installation as explained in the above link?
    Thanks

  • Unbreakable Linux almost installed - wireless and up2date issues

    I am trying to build a RAC/linux/iScsi test/play system and I am new to Linux. I have downloaded and installed Unbreakable Linux on 2 dualboot HP laptops with some degree of success.
    1. Wireless cards are not working. lspci shows that my broadcom hardware was recognized (but I guess I don't have the driver/packages to support them). Googling leads me to think that I will need to pursue a ndiswrapper solution, or perhaps the kernel just does not support the technology. How do I solve this? Will I need a kernel upgrade?
    2. I assume that I'll need patches/updates. The instructions at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum-repository-setup.html describe how to setup and configure up2date and a yum repository. The instructions also say that I'll need to enter an Oracle CSI number when I register and run up2date. I don't have an Oracle CSI# anymore due to a recent layoff. Any suggestions?
    3. Should I abandon just Oracle linux and switch to another distribution (i.e. Open Suse or CentOS) ?
    Thanks.

    Hi tom
    I am trying to build a RAC/linux/iScsi test/play
    system and I am new to Linux. I have downloaded and
    installed Unbreakable Linux on 2 dualboot HP laptops
    with some degree of success.
    1. Wireless cards are not working. lspci shows that
    my broadcom hardware was recognized (but I guess I

    solve this? Will I need a kernel upgrade?
    First you can install the driver on the wireless card cdrom.if can't ,please list the
    type of wireless card.
    2. I assume that I'll need patches/updates. The
    instructions at
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum

    Unfortunately. if you don't have CSI,you can't run up2date.please go to http://linux.oracle.com and click "Buy Unbreakable Linux from the Oracle Store" label.

  • How can i remove jdk1.4 install in oracle unbreakable linux.

    I am able to comple java program in oracle unbreakable linux but not able to run program.this is simple hello world program there is no syntax problem .I am getting error:
    Exception in thread Main java.lang.class format error:unrecognised class file version and i also checked :=> #javac -version

    #java -version
    #jadk1.4 (gnu support java)
    How can i unstall jdk1.4 gnu jdk/bin path and jdk 1.4 gnu java from with my system.
    Regards
    Prashansh Kumar

    From what I understand, the problem is that your classes are compiled for a later version of Java. I'm not sure at this point that uninstalling Java 1.4 is the right solution - it may break important system functions.
    I would rather try another approach first:
    # alternatives --config java
    -> select the java version you want as default.If you want to install java 1.6 you can try the following:
    # yum install java-1.6*
    or just the runtime package
    # yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
    For example:
    # java -version
    java version "1.4.2"
    # yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
    # alternatives --config java
    There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.
      Selection    Command
    + 1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java
    *  2           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
    Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 2
    # java -version
    java version "1.6.0"

  • Is anyone running SAP on Oracle Unbreakable Linux

    Hi all
    Is there any one out there using Oracle Unbreakable Linux as the  operating system for any SAP Installations (ECC/CRM/BI etc) ?
    If yes, can you share your experience in terms of system stability, compatability, support pack issues ?
    Thanks in advance
    Nagesh

    There's even a note for it:
    Note 997990 - Oracle Enterprise Linux / Oracle Unbreakable Linux
    Since it's based on Redhat it should work, however, if there are SAP specific issues with tools and versions it may be difficult to get support, same as with CentOS - which is a "recompiled Redhat Enterprise Linux" - same code as normal $$$ Redhat Advanced Server with a different logo.
    For to-become-productive systems I'd always use a supported operating system, however, I'm sure a SAP system will run on unbreakable Linux too as well as on other distributions; the statement of not supporting it may also be a political one, don't forget that Oracle and SAP are the biggest competitors!

  • Help starting Unbreakable Linux and Oracle

    Hello
    I am getting ready to install Unbreakable Linux on a 70GB hard drive is that enough space?
    I will be multibooting Windows 2003 Server 10GB, XP 30GB and Unbreakable Linux 30GB on the 70GB hard drive.
    These are my questions:
    1)When I had installed Fedora installed the autopartition configured my partition automatically like this using Grub. Will Unbreakable Linux's autopartition do this the same way that Fedora did, what would I have to do to set this up :
    VG VolGroup00 30720m VolGroup
    LV LogVol01 992m swap
    LV LogVol00 29728m ext3
    /dev/sda/
    /dev/sda1 1 255 2000m vfat
    /dev/sda2 256 9545 72872m extended
    /dev/sda5 256 1785 12001m vfat "W2003 was on this partition"
    /hda6 1786 5609 29996m vfat "XP was on this partition"
    /had7 5610 5622 101m ext3 /boot
    /hda8 5623 9545 30772m physical V "Fedora on this partition"
    2) Is Unbreakable Linux good for running Oracle and a web server, replication and Log shipping?
    3) What web server runs on Unbreakable Linux and how difficult is it to install?
    4) What kind of security is good for Unbreakable Linux ?
    5) What kind of firewall is good for Unbreakable Linux ?
    6) What kind of antivirus and spyware/malware is good for Unbreakable Linux ?
    7) What browser runs on Unbreakable Linux and where do I get it from?
    8) Do I run startx to get the gui if not then what?
    9) How do I get help if I have a problem setting up any of the above?

    I am getting ready to install Unbreakable Linux on a 70GB hard drive is that enough space?Yes, definitely.
    1)When I had installed Fedora installed the autopartition configured my partition automatically like this using Grub. Will Unbreakable Linux's autopartition do this the same way that Fedora did, what would I have to do to set this up :Not sure that if it will EL do automaticaly the same layout as Fedora but you have all informations so you can do manual partitioning.
    2)Is Unbreakable Linux good for running Oracle and a web server, replication and Log shipping?Of course it is. Note Unbreakable Linux is a support program not a distribution.
    3) What web server runs on Unbreakable Linux and how difficult is it to install?AFAIK almost any major distribution is shipped with Apcache HTTP server.
    So you can install HTTP server using package located in installation media.
    Or you can download sources and compile your own configuration or preffered HTTP server (I preffer this option). Everything goes easy with manual: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/
    https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-install-guide/
    4) What kind of security is good for Unbreakable Linux?What exactly do you mean under "security" term?
    5) What kind of firewall is good for Unbreakable Linux ?Each distribution (including this one) is shipped with excellent stateful (of course stateless too :-) ) firewall called "iptables" which is included in Linux kernel. More info (documentation and HOWTOs) you can find at http://netfilter.org
    6) What kind of antivirus and spyware/malware is good for Unbreakable Linux ?There is some Linux antivirus SW for example AVG, NOD but viruses are very rare in the Linux world and most of them are just "Proof of concept". So at this time is client antivirus SW just waste of money.
    Spyware and malware - forget about it when we speaking about Linux (at this time).
    7) What browser runs on Unbreakable Linux and where do I get it from?Graphic: Firefox, Konqueror, Nautilus Text: lynx, elinks - all these are included in Linux distribution.
    8) Do I run startx to get the gui if not then what?You can start X server automaticaly during boot. This is provided by default runlevel configuration in /etc/inittab file (in this case it's run level 5). If your server has default run level 3 and you want to start X server you can log as root, and temporary change the run level to 5 by command (init 5 or telinit 5).
    There is not reason for starting X server when you are using Linux machine as database server or HTTP server.
    9) How do I get help if I have a problem setting up any of the above? There is Ubreakable Linux program: http://www.oracle.com/technologies/linux/ubl-faq.pdf
    And for non critical issues you can also use public linux forums like this :-)

  • Linux Support in Solaris 10

    So where is the LINUX support in the new Solaris 10?
    I downloaded the free Software Express for Solaris x86 Platform (11/04) and installed it on a Dell 8600 P4 1.8 system. Fresh install on a new hard drive. Then I tried to install the new FireFox web browser for Linux. Received the following error: �Cannot find /lib/ld-linux.so.2�. I was logged in as Root. Ran a search of the entire system and found nothing using pattern �ld-linux*�.
    ED :(

    So where is the LINUX support in the new Solaris 10?It does not exist (at least not outside of Sun).
    There are rumours that it will be available in one of the Solaris
    10 update releases. In case S10 FCS will be available in
    january/february 2005, and the rumour are true, I'd expect that
    the linux support will be available somewhere in june 2005 (??
    S10 Update 1) or october 2005 (?? S10 Update 2). (Pure
    speculation be me, I don't know the schedule)
    I downloaded the free Software Express for Solaris

    (non existing) linux compatibility layer in Solaris 10?
