Virtualbox ORACLE Linux not installing

Not sure what the issue is. I have Virtual box - upgraded to today's version
I got a copy of Oracle linux (6) at a seminar today. The goal is to install Oracle Linux on the Virtual box to test it.
During the install the keyboard commands (options?) flash by too fast to read.
Installation says the kernel is not right "This kernel requires x8-64 CPU, but only detected an i686CPU."
Well it is a 64 bit CPU.
I tried it on a 32 bit CPU box and got the same result.
alas. is this a bust?

Here's some additional information that seems relevant to your problem: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2061
You could also check your VBox.log file, which contains, among a lot of other things, detailed information about the host CPU type and supported features.
I suggest to check if there is a BIOS update available for your computer, or try to use a 32-bit Oracle Linux distribution, which you can download for free from https://edelivery.oracle.com/linux
Regarding your hardware upgrade question, check the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization
+As of 2009[update] not all Intel processors supported VT-x, which Intel uses to segment its market.[20] Support for VT-x may even vary between different versions (as identified by Intel's sSpec Number) of the same model number.[21] [22] For a complete and up-to-date list see the Intel website.[23] Even in May, 2011, the Intel CPU P6100 which is in laptops does not support hardware virtualization [1].+

Oracle Software not installed

Hi!
I tried to install SAP NetWeaver 7.1 with Oracle 10 under Windows Server 2003 64bit in english fully updated. But I ran into two problems which prevented the SAP installation to finish : first once all the oracles updates were installed, the oracle wintows service would not start; second sapinst never managed to find the oracle installation and always answered "Oracle Software not installed".
For this installation I downloaded all the installation files from the SAP download center like this :
     - On http://service.sap.com/swdc in the left frame : download/installation and upgrades/entry by application group
     - then in the center frame : SAP NetWeaver/SAP NetWeaver/SAP NETWEAVER CE 7.1/Installation/Windows Server/Oracle/
     - I added everything to the Download basket but "Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 Patch for AIX 64bit" and "Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 Patch for Solaris 64bit"
- then I took the last patch for Oracle 10 on the SAP download center :
     - on http://service.sap.com/swcenter-3pmain in the left frame : Oracle/Oracle 64-bit/Oracle 10.2.0 64bit/Oracle 10.2.0.2/NT_x86_64
     - I added the last patch to the download basket
Then I followed this installation steps :
installation of the last jdk : jdk-6u3-windows-i586-p.exe
installation of Oracle 10.2.0.1 with : Oracle10.2.0.1-51031678\NT\I386\sapserver.cmd
installation of the last update for oracle 10.2.0.2 with : DVD_ORACLE_10.2.0.2_Patches_WIN_AIX_SOL\NT\I386\setup.exe
     => I had a problem with the installation of the patch chich detected the wrong version of windows so I forced it with : OPATCH_PLATFORM_ID=233 (I checked it before, it should really be the right one)
installation of the last patch of oracle :
     - definition of ORACLE_HOME and addition of opatch to the PATH
     - execution of "opatch apply" in the folder Oracle-10202_Patch16_MSWINX86-64-6397030\
===> *PB* : the installation of this patch enables the oracle windows service which won't run and doesn't send any errors (just timeout). I didn't find any help on this one. When I tried to start sqlplus in console, I got errors about DLLs not found but they exists in the bin directory of oracle and are in the PATH...
installation of NetWeaver 7.1 with SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 SP3 for Oracle - 51032969\DATA_UNITS\CE71_03_IM_WIN_X86_64_ORA\sapinst.exe
       - normal installation + JavaEE + CompEnv
          - Media Browser - RDBMS Client Oracle : Oracle 10.2 Client - 51033272\OCL_WINDOWS_I386\LABEL.ASC
===> *PB* : at this point of the sap installation, I got an error "Oracle Software not installed" without any details. I didn't find any help on that either. It seems to come from a registry key missing...
After that, I uninstalled (with removal of the right keys in the registry to have something clean (<a href="http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/deinstall.htm">url</a>)) Oracle many times and tried different installation steps : without the patches, with the patches but without the update (doesn't work), with the patch 15, with the patch 16. In each cases Oracle service wasn't working if a patch was installed. And in each cases the sap installation never detected an Oracle installation. This installation steps are very reproductibles and are problemful.
Could anybody have some pointers or help on that one ?
Thanks in advance,
Florian

Hello Friends,
I tried the AMD64 based Installation Source to install Oracle 10g. and It works.
I also applied sufficient patches (AMD64/x86_64 based) to Oracle, as required. It worked fine, without giving that "Platform not compatible" error, as it was giving me before.
Now,I have got that , my machine was expecting x86_64 based Installation of Oracle .
I was little bit confused between x86, x64, x84_64, I386,etc..etc..terms...
Thanks to Markus and other friends.
The problem was due to mix installation of 32bit + 64bit Oracle Software & Patches. Previously, i installed i386 based Oracle, which is 32 bit version. Then i tried AMD64 based Installation source of Oracle RDBMS. It workes.
Previously, I was applying x86_64 based Oracle patches 16 & 17 on 32-bit Oracle version, thats why definitely it was giving error of "Platform not compatible", because it was expecting 64Bit Oracle version to implement that patch.
But, now, i successfully applied these two required Oracle 10.0.2.0 patches(16 & 17),on this 64Bit Oracle. (AMD64 based Installation source).
Then, I had run SAPInst of Installation Master (Win_x86_64) and started the Installation again. I also gave Oracle RDBMS Client Source location (x86_64 based). Then, also provided other required parameters. Now, the SAPInst worked fine, without that "Oracle Software not Installed" error.
And, Ultimately I successfully installed the SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 on 64Bit Oracle 10g Database Software. Right now, the Server is working fine, without Errors.
Thanks Again.....

Oracle 10g not installing successfully in Windows Vista.

Dear Gurus,
Last week I bought a HP Pavlion Laptop with Windows Vista Operating System. Yesterday I tried to install Oracle 10g Database in it but got some errors during the installation and also it is not successfully installed. Even though there is no problem with the Software.
Please tell me whether Oracle 10g is supported in Windows Vista. If not what is the version of Oracle should I install. I urgently need Oracle Database to be installed in my Laptop, please suggest what can be done.
Thank you.
With Kind Regards,
Senthil Alagu .P.

You may be interested in reading Oracle on Vista: Statement of Direction on the topic.
Incidentally, which version of Vista is it? Oracle tend to only support the professional/business editions of Windows.

Linux not installing on my SATA HD on IDE channel 2

Hi.
I need some help ´cause i´m not able to install linux.
My PC is Core2Duo - MB Gigabyte VM900M with VIA chisets
HD 320gb in IDE channel 2 and 02mb Ram
Error is something like: "not find any drivers to installing a Linux files"
Seems the instalation don´t reconise my HD.
Regards.
Marcos
PS.: sorry my bad english

I had issues recently installing Linux on a brand new server becuase it didn't recognise the SATA disks. Fortunately, I had the luxury of using another machine but the way round the problem is to find the Linux drivers for your disk-types.
Hopefully the manufacturer will have created some!
cheers,

Unbreakable oracle linux- cannot install veritas storage foundation

can install storage foundation 5.1 on redhat 5.5 same box and it works fine. When upgraded to unbreakable kernel, veritas becomes broken.
if install kernel first, then try storage foundation install, gets this error:
This release of VxVM is for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Please install the appropriate OS
and then restart this installation of VxVM.
error: %pre(VRTSvxvm-5.1.100.000-SP1_RHEL5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping VRTSvxvm-5.1.100.000-SP1_RHEL5
I have looked and have found nothing that says it shouldn't work. Any ideas?

Not yet BUT have found this doc:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH50963&key=56211&actp=LIST
It appears that it is supported if you can reproduce the issue. Thing is the issue is the installation of the storage foundation packages. That works fine under standard linux kernel.
My question to you is if you have seen storage foundation work with the unbreakable kernel.

Oracle 9i not installing on windows 2008 server

jrew.exe has stopped working

User,
Oracle 9iR2 was desupported on July 31,2007
Windows 2008 was released in 2008.
Oracle never (re-) certifies for new versions of any O/S
Please upgrade to Oracle 10gR2 (preferred) or downgrade your server to XP or 2003.
Sorry, but you have no other choice.

Version error installing SOA on Oracle Linux

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.1.0, soa_linux_x86_101310_disk1.cpio) on Oracle Linux 5, but I'm getting the following error:
Checking operating system version: must be redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS rele

ux ES release 3, redhat-Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 or SuSE-9

Is Oracle Linux not compatible with SOA? My understanding is that Oracle Linux 5 is basically Redhat 4:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-53.el5 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Sat Nov 10 18:24:52 EST 2007.
Thanks,

You require a patch 6339508 which provides replacement pre-requisite tests. To use it you need to add two parameters to the runInstaller command as shown below.
./runInstaller PREREQ_CONFIG_LOCATION=<PATCH_LOC>/prereq –paramFile <PATCH_LOC>/oraparam.ini
PATCH_LOC is the location where you unzipped the 6339508 patch. With these new parameters the installer correctly recognizes Oracle Enterprise Linux as a supported platform. Note that OEL needs some specific patches when used with SOA Suite and these need to be installed prior to running the installer. Check the documentation for details.

ECC6 SR3- oracle not installed

i start installing sap central instance and oracle on windows server 2003 - 64 bit. first i install oracle software then start installing the sap central instace and after taking exports sap shows error saying oracle is not installed however all the oracle files are existing- any help will be appreciated.
is there any 64 bit oracle software available for SR3. i know 64 bit patch is there.
should i change the oracle home manually though it create the oracle directory automatically

Hi Rizwan Syed,
I think you have installaed 32bit oracle software and installing 64 bit sap.
Install 64 bit oracle and then 64 bit sap.64 BIT ORACLE will be there in the same package.

Oracle Linux and Automatic Installation of Oracle Related Packages

G'day,
I recently decided to check out Oracle's Unbreakable Linux as I am/was thinking of switching to it for all my company's database deployments. What originally attracted me to Oracle Linux was that I though there would have been a kickstart, package or in the GUI install, a check box to install all of Oracle's dependencies.
When I installed it first, I manually selected a bunch of relevant packages, then installed any missing packages manually via a local YUM repository that I had made. Alas however, Oracle did not install correctly. So, I reinstalled, this time as a full install. Oracle then worked like a charm.
I also noticed, when editing /etc/sysctl.conf and /etc/securetty/limits.conf that these files had basically all ready been configured.
So, my question is, as I have had no luck using the search functionality here, is anyone aware of a kickstart argument, or an Oracle package that will install and in turn by way of dependencies, install all the necessary Oracle bits and pieces? Ideally, I would like to do this by way of kickstart as to automate as much of the process as possible.
If I can do this, then with some further testing, I will make the switch to Oracle's Linux for our Oracle deployments.
Cheers,
Conor

Yes, there is a great package called oracle-validated that is available that will pre-configured Oracle Enterprise Linux for installation using the Oracle Universal Installer. It ensures that things like sysctl.conf are all correct.
It should be available in the base download, so you can test it out. :)

Failed to install VirtualBox Guest Addition on Oracle Linux 6.1

I can successfully install Oracle Linux 6.1 on VirtualBox 4.1. But failed to install VirtualBox Guest Additions with the following message: Building the main Guest Additions module [FAILED]. All other modules installed ok.

Actually you don't have do install the developer version. According to the documentation http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html you will need to install gcc and kernel-devel packages. In case Oracle Enterprise Linux does not find the required packages, you either have to install them from a different source (e.g. DVD) or use Oracle's public Yum server located at http://public-yum.oracle.com.

Why is your "requirement" to install in graphical mode? Once you are past the installation itself, the only thing that buys you is that your server will have been configured to boot up to runlevel 5, running a graphical desktop (gnome or kde, I forget which). And what does THAT buy you on a server?
I do not run ANY of my Linux servers "in graphical mode" -- running a graphical desktop. Nor did I run a graphical desktop when I had Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX servers.
