VMWare Evaluation Kit on Red Hat Linux

I have downloaded RHEL3-DVD2-Linux-v1[1].4.zip (793,301KB). When I try to open that file with WinZip I get the message "Cannot open file: bIt does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again."
I have tried this several times without success.
The Oracle Universal Installer is at "Copying files for 'Oracle on Linux Evaluation - Oracle Software 10.1.0.2.0'" and is waiting with a Disk Location messagebox message 'Please insert OracleOnLinuxEvaluation disk 2 into your disk drive or specify an alternate location.'
Why does everything related to Oracle has to be difficult - even a simple download? Can someone please help with installing evaluation kit on Windows (XP,2000,or 2003).

Please post this question in the Oracle/VMware forum:
Desktop Datacenter
Cheers, OTN

  • Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
    Thanks again,
    Virendra

    I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
    You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
    The Must PDF's to refer before installation
    1)r1152ins.pdf
    2)11iconcepts.pdf
    According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
    The installation process can be divided into
    Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
    I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
    Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
    In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
    In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
    1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
    2)1-11 CD's
    1-3 Application Top information
    4th Oracle DB
    5-6 IAS and other tools
    7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
    You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
    While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
    Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
    Installation Types
    Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
    Test ==>For test Env Purposes
    Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.
    Pre-Installation steps
    ======================
    Space Requirement for types of installtions
    Install VC++
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE
    Env path setting
    Create Applmgr user in Win2000
    Space Requirement for types installtion:
    Memory Requirement
    1 GB of RAM(512 Fine for initial Installtion)
    but planned for more user connections another 1 GB of Ram and according to the number of user's and Application needs you have to Increase the Memory.
    HDD capacity
    APP_Top(A)
    COMMON_TOP(C)
    DATA_TOP(D)
    Test DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
    Prod DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
    Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
    Plus space for ur staging area.
    This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
    Softwares on System
    Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
    Install VC++:
    Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
    It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
    NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
    Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
    or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
    Evaluation copy from
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
    Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
    Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
    You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
    Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
    It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
    The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
    1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
    This can be done by performing the following steps:
    NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
    1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
    The directory contains the following files:
    README
    djtarnt.exe
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe
    Only two of the files are required:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
    2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
    Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
    3) Point your browser to the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
    The files needed from this directory are:
    make-3.77.tar.gz
    make-3.78.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.tar.gz
    Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
    DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
    4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
    Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
    5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
    command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
    6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
    called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
    Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
    Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
    WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
    See [NOTE:115937.1]

    Installation:
    =============
    What here you require is the Patience .
    Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
    For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
    In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
    It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
    The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
    For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
    The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
    installed products it requires without any failure.
    The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
    This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

  • Oracle 9i installation on Red Hat Linux 9 URGENT

    hi,
    I live in london, I have tried a lot to install Oracle 9i Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 9, but couldn't do it, can any one help me to install it, I am ready to pay and visit any place in london for that purpose in the evening, if any one can help my mobiel number 07832 077672
    best regards
    asif

    If you are only trying to learn, I would recommend either Fedora FC4 or OpenSuSE 10, and I would recommend installing ORacle Express Edition if you do not need advanced Oracle stuff (or you are not learning for OCP).
    Again, use Werner's excellent site - http://www.puschitz.com or Ivan Kartik's site - http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora9_fedora.html to get good instruciton on installation.
    If you want a free version that is as close to a supported Linux as legally possible, consider using WhiteBoxLinux.org, TaoLinux.org or CentOS.org linux. These are clones of RedHat Enterprise (the one that is supported). Or you could contact Novell.com and ask for an evaluation kit for SLES9.

  • Is it possible to download current Red Hat Linux for learning purpose?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to download current Red Hat Linux for learning purpose? On their website, you either have to purchase the regular version or download a 30-day evaluation version.
    Thanks.

    How different is Enterprise Linux compared to Fedora?To add Sergio's post, Fedora and Enterprise Linux are based on RedHat distribution. Fedora is non commercial distribution and is very popular. Enterprise Linux is quite new (name of distribution) in the Linux world (announced at the end of october) and it is clone (as Sergio said) of RH EL 4 U4.
    All I need is an opportunity to learn Unix/Linux.Any of Linux distributions will give to you this opportunity. And for learning of Linux Fedora is good enough.
    Is Enterprise Linux more popular?
    Popular than what? Fedora? It is too soon... (IMHO). Enterprise Linux is ideal candidate for productions systems which needs official support and (of course) systems which where Oracle products will be running on. In this scope (commmercial sphere) Enterprise Linux will become popular than Fedora (which has support only from volunteers) but I don't think that Enterprise Linux will be more popular as Fedora at all...

  • Failed Installation of Oracle8i on Red Hat Linux 7.0

    Hi,
    I have successfully installed Oracle8i(8.1.6) Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 7.0 but while running the Database Configuration Assistant, it stops at the database initialization portion. I suspect the initmig8i.ora file is causing the problem. I have followed the installation guide very closely and the SID is mig8i. What might be the problem causing it to stop? Now, I can't connect to database.

    Richard,
    It's a glib problem. 8i uses the glib 2.1 libraries, while RH7 uses the 2.2. There is a patch available from oracle support, or you can find a solution that has worked for me twice on the otn discussion forum.

  • Memory Problem with Oracle10g R2 and red Hat linux  2.4.21-37.EL

    Hi All.
    i've a 64Bit red Hat Linux 2.4.21-37.EL , 5GB Ram , 3GB Swap Space.
    Oracle10g R2. i've 2 prodection database each is having 1400MB of SGA.
    when i check the free meory it shows only 12mb of ram is free..why..?
    and in swap space it's only 200mb is used...why..?
    when i check the dbwither is taking 1.2GB of RAM why..?
    can anybody help me in this ...how to get free memory or configure os level to get more free memory.
    Sarit
    [email protected]

    Linux uses Swap space to run applications. The RAM available may not be enough to run the applications so OS swaps the program between RAM and the swap space to run applications.
    You can see your swap partition being used as the swap space with:

  • Installing Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2. But when I run the runInstaller
    command it gives the following error & quit.
    [oracle@localhost cdrom]$ ./runInstaller
    Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait...
    Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
    : Bad address
    And I tried to run the Installer with jre1.1.6 & jre 1.1.7. Both producing the same
    error.
    You may think why I'm using the old version of Oracle. It's an urgent need for
    me at the moment.
    Hope someone could guide me in the correct path to install.
    Thx in advance.

    You need to install java.

    Hi.

    I've used the instructions on it for 8.1.7 and 9.0.1 on various
    RedHat versions. Not an exact answer to your problem but it
    might help.
    Good Luck.

  • Problem installing Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

    Hi,
    Due to a software requirement, I have to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. (I know Oracle 8.0.5 is pretty old and so as RH Linux 7.0 but that is what required).
    I downloaded the Oracle8051EE_Intel.tgz from Oracle and tried to installed it but it didn't work.
    It crashed out when it tried to run some of the SQL script during the installation using SVRMGRL. Later on, we found out all the binaries under $ORACLE_HOME/bin were corrupted during the installation. We did a comparison of the size of SVRMGRL and SQLPLUS and they are different from the Stage (or the one from the .tgz).
    Does anyone have this problem before? Will 8.0.5 works on Linux 7.0?
    Thanks in advanced for any help.
    Best regards,
    William

    I'm having the same exact problem. The link you have provided
    seems to be a bad link. I would really appreciate it alot if you
    could help get us through this first step of starting the oracle
    installer interface. I never thought it would be this hard to
    get started.

  • Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat Linux on a Dell Poweredge

    We have a Dell PowerEdge 6400 server with PERC 2/DC raid
    controllers.
    We have installed Red Hat Linux 6.2.
    According to the installation guide in order to install Oracle
    8.1.7 we need to recompile the Kernal to get to version 2.2.19-
    6.2.7.
    Recompiling the Kernal causes a failure in the Raid controllers.
    I realise that this isn't strictly Oracle but I wondered if
    anyone had met this problem before. It appears virtually
    impossible to configure this combination to support Oracle.

    Yes there is a lot of information out there. Oracle 8.1.6,
    8.1.7, 9 on Linux 6, 7, 9.
    Which glibc? binutils? compat-libs?
    For 8.1.7 on Redhat 9
    Please try: http://www3.sympatico.ca/arothmel/oracle/817.html
    Still evolving. Feedback welcome :)
