Oracle RAC for SAP on Linux and OCFS

We are going to be installing SAP with Oracle 10.2.0.4 RAC on Linux RHEL 5.2 and OCFS. The Oracle RAC documentation states:
You must store the following components in the cluster file system when you use RAC
in the SAP environment:
- Oracle Clusterware (CRS) Home
- Oracle RDBMS Home
- SAP Home (also /sapmnt)
- Voting Disks
- OCR
- Database
I'm curious about the requirement of installing the Oracle Home on shared clustered filesystem. In other RAC installations I've built, I installed the binaries on local filesystems on each node. This is to facilitate the concept of rolling patches. With the SAP's requirement, it appears rolling patches are out of the question. Can someone enlighten me on why SAP requires the Oracle Home reside on shared filesystem.
Thanks

We have even put /oracle/SID on OCFS, because the brtools cannot cope with local FS. If you take a backup on node1, then you cannot restore it from node2. Or you could start multiple brconnects at the same time (this is normally prevented with a lock file). Of course you could run all your all your br commands on a dedicated node, but this doesn't fit the RAC idea much.
Just my two cents, of course this does not fully explain, why the ORACLE_HOME has to be shared as well.
Best regards, Michael
Edit: Ahh, now i recall, i really think it is because of the BR*Tools, they need the initSID.sap file in ORACLE_HOME/dbs. This implies that it won't be a big thing to get SAP on RAC running with local ORACLE_HOME's, but that doesn't help a lot as long as SAP does not officially support it...

Redhat Linux and S10

Hi there,
this is my first post.
can anybody tell me if i can install redhat enterprise linux work server v4 in the s10??? if so, how am i gonna do it??? all the examples around d web tells abt using one iso or img file for installation using a usb/sd drive......but i've got 4 cds of redhat EL. Please can anybody help. My search of the web has been futile, so i'm asking u guys....
Cheers.

Hi, i think if you will use a linux distribution.. as a workstation , not as a server... thats a bit overdose for atom based book...
and RH Server vs.4.0 is outdated....
I prefer the smaller and out of the box running well ubuntu 9.04
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
(note the NBR Netbookremix! or standard)....
linux mint...
http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
for best online support ... and opensuse 11.0
http://software.opensuse.org/
or feodora or flux ...
http://fluxflux.net/einverstanden.html
all are available as .iso for 1 cd or as img for use to install via usb-stick....

Redhat Linux and Msi 875

I have tried both 8.0 and 9.0 to install but it gets stuck at the very early stage of the installation. Has anyone tried yet with success?

In BIOS, I set 1st boot device to CD, insert the Linux 9.0 install disk1. The CD gives 4 options for setup. I choose to run setup in GUI mode. Install begins, it starts scanning hardware, It finds USB 2.0 and after that it can't continue. The cursor keeps blinking. I waited couple of minutes, tried couple of times but of no avail.
Here is my system spec:
MB: MSI875P Neo-Fis2r
Samsung DDR3200 2x256MB
NEC-ND1300 DVD+-R/RW
MSI 48x16x48x CDRW
IBM 100GB Harddrive (partitions:2 NFS, 1 FAT32, rest for Linux)
Santa Cruz Sound card
Hauppauge WinTv PCI
MSI Gf4 Ti4600 4xAGP card
CPU 2.4Ghz 800Mhz FSB
WinXP Pro is running rock solid without any OC. BIOS temp reading for Sys is around 34-35, CPU is 41-44 degree celcius. During the initial boot process, it always reports some "device not connected to Smart controller or something and the BIOS not installed" (this message goes so first I can never get a complete reading).
Current BIOS is 1.6

Fonts for RedHat Linux

The Adobe font store lists fonts for Windows and Mac. What about fonts for Linux?
We are using LaTeX on RedHat Linux and a requirement is to use the Adobe Univers 57 Condensed font family in a report I am generating.
The IT department is leaning towards requiring use of Type 1 fonts rather than allowing use of OpenType fonts.
Which Type 1 product (Mac or Windows) do we need to license for use on Linux? And just in case they allow OpenType fonts, which OpenType product (Mac or Windows) do we need to license for use on Linux?
Is there anything else we need to consider in regards to using Adobe Fonts on Linux? Same for use with LaTeX on Linux?

You can almost certainly use Windows Type 1 fonts in your Linux app (though some require .AFM files, these are also supplied with the fonts, even though Windows doesn't need them).
On the OpenType side, the fonts are the same files for Mac and Windows.
Your only complication is that to use the Adobe download manager and get the files in the first place, you may have to do the purchase from either Windows or Mac OS.

T

How can show the Chinese character in Oracle Report Graph on RedHat Linux?

The OS is RedHat Linux and I set NLS="SIMPLIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK" in %ORA_AS_HOME%/bin/reports.sh
The report file is a JSP Web Report, including Chinese character in web HTML text and graph.
Now Chinese character in HTML text can be displayed correctly but the Chinese character in graph can not be display.
Anybody can help me? thanks a lot.

The report server is 9i and it is running in Oracle AS 904.
And set NLS_LANG="SIMPLIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK" in %ORA_AS_HOME%/bin/reports.sh

Configure BPMJ2EE 10.3.1 for Redhat Linux

install BPM J2EE 10.3.1 for Redhat Linux and weblogic server 10.3 for linux in Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.
The oracle DB is installed in Windows 2003 server sp1 of another machine.
When I configure the BPM, it is failed at about 70%.
Mush I install weblogic server and BPM and config the BPM as root?

Hi YE,
If you are deploying BPM on a Weblogic Server you'll find your workspace on the following url
http://localhost:7001/workspace
This is because the all the jar services are deployed to the WLS. You can monitor if it is installed by going into the Process administrator -> Engines -> J2EE jar deployment (or something)
There you'll find all the jars that are/can be deployed. If you make any changes using the BPM admin center configuration don't forget to recreate and redeploy the jar file.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
Nils

Anyway to dual boot either Linux and Mac OS X?

Is there a way to dual boot Ubuntu and Mac OS X similar to Boot Camp?

Here's where you start.
As an alternative you can purchase either Parallels Desktop for Mac or VM Fusion which provide virtual machines in which you can run various operating systems concurrently with OS X. Both products run various versions of Windows, Linux, and Unix.

Can any one help me. I tried to install Oracel 8.1.5 on RedHat Linux 7.0 and failed.

I am running my system with RedHat Linux 7.0 and tried to install Oracle 8.1.5.
I extracted jre required files and when i tried to start ./runIns.sh from install/linux directory it is giving me an error Unable to initalize threads: cannot find class Java/lang/Thread
Could not create JVM
i tried 3 times and i ended up here and i need instruction to sort out the problem as earlier as possible.pls do advice me in this.
pls send the solution ASAP to my email id - ([email protected])

Make sure you have IBM's Java 1.1.8 JRE/JDK installed on your server and $JAVA_HOME set. Check the Oracle installation instructions. One other problem with Red Hat 7.0. is that
there is a libc library incompatibility problem with Red Hat linux 7.0 and Oracle 8i. The database will not start after you install it. Go to MetaLink (if you have support) and search for document # 121176.1. Basically, you have to download an older version of glibc, modify your Oracle link environment files, re-link the database executables and all will work normally. I did it on my Red Hat Linux 7.0 server two weeks ago and everything is working fine. Only other alternative is downgrade to Red Hat 6.2.

Problems and solutions for 9i DB R2 install on Redhat Linux AS 2.1

Installing 9iDB R2 9.2.0.1.0 on Redhat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 (aka Redhat Enterprise Linux (AS))
and applying patchset 2 (9.2.0.3.0)
This is a certified platform but I hit many problems getting the install to work. Here are the problems I hit and how I solved them.
Note: This is not intended to be a install for dummies but just an account of all my problems and how I overcame them. I spent 10 hours on this certified install (mostly looking for solutions to the problems I was having)
I had a Intel Pentium 3 with 512 Meg RAM. (test machine)
1. Install Redhat Linux
2. Install Sun JDK 1.3.1 (this is not actually required for this install. I installed it as I was planning to install 9iAS after this)
3. Install binutils-2.11.90.0.8-13 (also not required. I installed it for 9iAS)
All other components were ok on my Redhat Linux install (i.e. kernel version, glibc)
4. Create oracle user with dba group
5. Create oracle home and oracle base directories. Ensure these are owned by oracle with rwx
6. Set kernel parameters and make sure that they are initialized every startup:
I managed to locate this script in the Redhat document called
"Deploying Oracle9iTM on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS"
create a file called oracle.sh in /etc and give it execute permissions
oracle.sh
#!/bin/bash
# configures kernel and system parameters for Oracle9i R2
# File handles
echo 65536 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
ulimit -n 65536
# Shared memory
# The default SHMMAX value is too low and likely to cause a failure during
# database creation. SHMMAX should be equal to half of your system's physical
# RAM.
# The default is for 512 MB of RAM. Replace the default value as appropriate
# for the amount of memory in your system, i.e.,
# 512 MB : 268435456
# 1 GB : 536870912
# 2 GB : 1073741824
# 4 GB : 2147483648
echo 268435456 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
# It is generally safe to leave these next two values as they are
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni
echo 2097152 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
# Semaphores
echo 250 32000 100 128 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
# Sockets
echo 1024 65000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
# Processes
ulimit -u 16384
----EOF---------
then...
# chmod +x /etc/oracle.sh # make executable
# . /etc/oracle.sh # apply changes now
edit /etc/rc.local to ensure this is run on startup
append to /etc/rc.local
# configure system for Oracle9i R2
bash /etc/oracle.sh
--------EOF--------------------
7. create a generic oracle environment setup script for all users to run
create the file /etc/profile.d/oracleenv.sh
be sure to change the variables to your environment (ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID)
oracleenv.sh
# Configures the user's environment for Oracle9i R2
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0.1.0
ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
ORACLE_SID=orcl
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORA_NLS33 ORACLE_SID LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH
----EOF---------
chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/oraclenv.sh
This file will run when a user logs in.
8. Install oracle DB
This took me quite a few attempts.
The first Install I did I received the error jre was not found. This issue seemed to be relating to the fact I was not installing on a Pentium 4. Oracle was looking for the jre in oracle.swd.jre/bin/i686 (and .../lib/i686) when some of the files were placed in i386 and java was looking in i386. This created a real mess. I had encountered a similar problem on a previous install on a different platform. I found articles of people that tried to just link the directories with symbolic links but this never worked. I tried my own version but also failed.
The solution that worked for me was to de-install, remove all the oracle directories created by the install (this part I had always done) AND also delete the file /etc/oraInstl.loc. This makes the Installer truly believe this is the first time Oracle has been installed on this box. My jre problem disappeared after that. (I don't know why it just didn't work in the first place...)
The next error I received was an ORA-03113 when creating the database (in the dbca). (It was actually at this point that I found the document from redhat as mentioned in my set 6 above) I also noticed that when running the install of the database, the default was for Oracle's SGA to use 70% of the available memory on my machine (I have 512M so that's 360M). Oracle instructed me to set shmmax to around 240M. This may be why the database creation failed as I thought the shmmax parameter needed to be larger that SGA. Anyway, I reduce the SGA to 50% and it worked.
This error may also have been caused by the kernel parameters not being set properly after a reboot so if you implementing stop 6 above. You may never get this problem, hopefully.
8. Install the universal Installer 2.2.0.18.0 (a prerequisite for installing the patchset 2)
You will need this to install the patchset 2. You can get it from metalink by searching for the bug number in the patch area. Search for bug/patch number 2878462 in patches. (37Meg for linux intel)
(Did you know that when oracle refer to a bug number, you should treat this as a patch number? General the bugs are not available for public viewing but oracle create a patch of the same number as a placeholder. So don't search for the bug in the site search or by doc id, go straight to the "patches" area and enter the bug number as a patch number, you'll have more success. - I only found that out today after struggling with metalink for the last 4 years)
9. Install the patchset 2
I downloaded patchset 2 (which will bring my DB version to 9.2.0.3.0) (220Meg). There is a special symbolic link command you'll need so make sure you remember to do this.
i.e.
$ cd $ORACLE_BASE/oui/bin/link
$ ln -s libclntsh.so.9.0 libclntsh.so
10. Migrate your database
I could not get this to work. The docs says I need at least 150M shared_pool_size and 150M Java_pool_size before running the startup migrate. As I only have 512Meg RAM (and shmmax set to 230M) I did hold much hope that this would work. I started my DB without the migrate option just to see if it would actually open with 300M in my pools. It did, so I shut it down and restarted with the migrate option. After 5 minutes of heavy processing (I still have an empty database) my server appeared to hang. I decided to restart the machine and just re-create my DB with the new patchset already applied. I delete my $ORACLE_BASE/oradata/<sid> directory and remove the entry from /etc/oratab and re-created my DB. This worked fine :)
I hope this document helps you for your install. Please drop me line if it does help and I'll endevour to write more documents like this one.
Please drop me a quick line at [email protected] even just to say "thanks".
I will include a few keywords here to help the searches find this document. (mainly the keywords I searched on and failed to find a doc like this one)
ORA-03113 ORA-3113 03113 3113 jre was not found jre not found i686 i386 i586 9iDB R2 9.2.0.1.0 9.2.0.3.0 Redhat Advanced Server 2.1 AS Enterprise Linux (AS) RH install error installation errors oui dbca problem issue
Good luck,
Tim Daniell.

The trick that worked for me was on a 2nd attempt. I installed once, let it fail with "jre was not found", de-install through the installer, delete all directories and files under $ORACLE_BASE (including $ORACLE_HOME), and also delete /etc/oraInst.loc.
I don't know why it fixes itself with this. Oracle say this is an unresolved bug 2726268 that lies in the installer. This is still unresolved by Oracle (as at 02-June-03) therefore it is not a published bug/patch. If this doesn't work, I suggest you open an iTAR and see if Oracle has any more suggestions for you.
Cheers,
Tim.

Installing Oracle 9i (version 9.0.1) on RedHat Linux 7.2

Hi All,
I've been trying to install Oracle 9i version 9.0.1 on RedHat
Linux 7.2 with kernel 2.4.7-10. This RH 7.2 is running on my
Compaq Armada M700 laptop that has 800MHz CPU and 256MB of RAM.
I have 10GB of diskspace on this laptop.
Someone in this group posted a howto on how to install Oracle 9i
on RedHat Linux 7.2 but for some reasons, Oracle Universal Installer
still hangs at 74% of the installation. Here is what I did:
1) Install RH 7.2 on the laptop. I also make sure that make, ar,
ld, nm and C for unix got installed when I installed RH 7.2.
I also verify by using the command "which make", "which ar",
"which ld" and "which nm" and they are also in the /usr/bin
directory. I also make the /tmp partition to be 800MB and
the swap file to be 500MB,
2) Modify the /etc/hosts file. This part is easy. I can ping
both the hostname, FQDN and the IP address of the laptop from
both locally and remotely (tested with SSH connection),
3) Go to blackdown.org and download jdk118_v3
4) Uncompress and put it in the /usr/local/jdk118_v3 directory,
5) Make a softlink ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
6) Download and install package:
rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
7) In /proc/sys/kernel/sem file, I modify the third column from 32 to 128,
8) Download and install package:
rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm
9) Download Linux9i_Disk1.cpio, Linux9i_Disk2.cpio and Linux9i_Disk1.cpio
to my laptop hard-drive,
10)Run cpio -idmv < Linux9i_Disk1.cpio (for 2 and 3 well),
11)Create a user account "oracle". This "oracle" account belongs to
group "oracle". Furthermore, I also create a directory /oracle
and change the owner and group permission to account "oracle"
12)Start the installer ( as Oracle User ) by typing ./runinstaller
13)The installer will ask you to run a started script as root ,
you may open a shell and type su then open Nautilus (
if using Gnome or File manager as super user if using KDE )
and drag the noted file to the shell screen and press enter,
after it is ended continue with the installer (done),
14)It asked to supply JDK home directory then it is /usr/local/java (done)
15)Unix group Name ( to update Oracle software ) : (I leave blank here)
16)Oracle home is : /oracle/9.0.1
/oracle/orainventory
From what the poster said, it should work; however, it did NOT work
for me. I've tried and tried but no avail. I have plenty of disk
space so I don't think space is an issue here.
Please help.

How to install d2k release 6i on redhat linux version 7.3?

How to install d2k release 6i on redhat linux version 7.3?

have you tried using open motif 2.1.30?
the open motif version that comes with the redhat 7.3 is 2.2 and is not compatible with 6i. Once I used open motif 2.1.30 it worked fine. The environment variable setting is very similar to any other unix version. Ensure that you are also intalling the latest patch (10) for 6i (fixed lots of problems).

Thanks for your help.

1. Redhat Linux 8 is pretty old version. If I may suggest you upgrade then upgrade the operating system.
2. In case you want stay on RH 8 then you have two options how to ommit this error.
Modify /etc/redhat-release and change the line to "Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 (Taroon)"
or
execute runInstaller with "-ignoreSysPrereqs" parameter.
