Which operating system: Linux or Windows Server 2003?

Hi,
it doesn't matter which operating system we install an our server.
What are your experience with Linux and Windows?
Which System do you recommend regarding performance issues?
best regards
Felix

Linux has a higher per process memory limit. The fmscore process can use up to 2 GB on Windows and up to 3 GB on Linux.
The performance increases in Flash Media Server 3.5 are roughly equivalent on Linux and Windows.

System Refresh On Windows Server 2003 ( Oracle )

Hello Gurus,
We are having ecc5.0 production server on windows 2003 server ( oracle as an database ).
We want to perform system copy.
can somebody guide me the procedure on windows server.
Server Information
ECC - 5.0
Window Server - 2003
Oracle ( 9.2.0.8.0)
I have one doubt should we use SAPinst for export/import procedure or backup restore from our production server to dev server
regards
Shishir

Hi Shishir,
I have one doubt should we use SAPinst for export/import procedure or backup restore from our production server to dev server
DEV System is your original System never refresh DEV System with Production. It is recommended to do System refresh on QA system or any other stand alone system (Test System).
Also see the below points.
1. If you have large database then use the backup restore process. this will help you to reduce your downtime.
2. You can go for the export/import process i.e R3load using SAPinst.
For more information see the system copy guide as suggested earlier.
Thanks,
Shambo

Running 10G as a non local system account on Windows Server 2003

Hi,
I have an Oracle 10G database running on Windows Server 2003, SP2. I have created the database and it all works fine while the service is running as the default local system account. However, when I change the user that the service runs as to a different account the database starts and opens, and I can log on as SYS using a bequeath connection but I am unable to log on as any other user going through the listener. The listener responds to TNSpings, and all seems to be OK. When I switch it back to the local system user again it all works fine.
Can anyone offer any advice or help?
Thanks,
Rob

That's probably because the listener is still running as the local system account. Have you tried to change the listener service to run as the same account as the Oracle service?

More than one SAP systems on same Windows Server 2003 - Oracle 10g

Hello Experts,
We have Windows Server 2003 with 32 GB RAM, 2 quadcore CPU, plenty of space. Already running with NW 700 AS Java on Oracle 10g.
Now we need to install a seperate NW 700 AS Java central instance - so please help me in clarifying following doubts - we don't want to use MCOD.
1. Do we need to install Oracle 10g software again or we can use the existing Oracle 10g installed files. If yes then will the Oracle Home for both the SAP instances will be same - any steps needs to be done for that.
2. Any other steps which needs to be taken care before and after the second instance installation.
3.SAP Note 98252 - speaks about changes in oraInst.loc before the second instance installation - Does it applicable for Windows - Oracle environment also. I am not able to find out this file.
Listener and Tnsnames file changes mentioned in this note seems to be applicable on windows platform also.
Pointers to related documentation would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Davinder

Hello Davinder,
> 1. Do we need to install Oracle 10g software again or we can use the existing Oracle 10g installed files. If yes then will the Oracle Home for both the SAP instances will be same - any steps needs to be done for that
Theoretical you can use the same ORACLE_HOME, but i would really recommend to install the database software again in a different ORACLE_HOME. It will make a lot of things easier
> 2. Any other steps which needs to be taken care before and after the second instance installation.
The same as by the first installation, but keep in mind of the listener port - you will need to specify a different one.
> Does it applicable for Windows - Oracle environment also. I am not able to find out this file.
On windows it is a registry key (for more information please take a look at metalink note #564192.1)
C:\>reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE /v inst_loc

Memory system cache on windows server 2003 standard 64-bit is too hign

Hi,
I have an issue with one of the server - OS is windows 2003 standard 64 bit. Total memory installed on the server is 16GB. When I go to task manager>performance tab, Total physical memory is 16 GB, available memory is around 500 MB almost all the time,
System cache is greater than 13.5GB. When I take a look at all the processes that are running, and if I sum those memory usage it will be around 2 GB. So all the memory is consumed by system cache. Checked the perfmon > memory> system cache resident
bytes and it is showing greater than 13.5 GB. I have gone through some articles that tells me to use RAMMAP to find which is using more system cache. But RAMMAP is not designed to run with windows 2003 version. Please can you help with a way/tool to find what
is using system cache in windows 2003 server
Thanks in advance
Regards
RJ

It is supposed to do this. Windows can be very aggressive in caching data and code. This data is released as soon as the system needs memory for something else, but when it is unused, the system uses it to cache all sorts of stuff. It utilizes the memory
which would otherwise be unused. Leaving it unused would basically be a waste.
So in other words, nothing is wrong. It is windows which decides to try and be more efficient. As soon as a request for more memory comes in, it just drops whatever is needed from the cache immediately.
This is one of the reasons that in later versions, the memory is reported differently in task manager, because people kept trying to stop the system from caching because they wanted to see more 'free' memory.

Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Move from SP1 to Windows Service Pack 2?

Hello,
Our hosting system is:
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Server 5.2 Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
or
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Server 5.2 Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
on which we have a Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.3.0
running.
Now our IT is demanding the Windows Service Pack 2 to be installed on the server.
Are there known issues or can this be done (about 30 patches) without any considerations?
Thanks,
Marco

Oracle's general policy is:
Oracle certifies against the specific Microsoft operating system (OS) and, if applicable, service packs (SPs) stated in the Oracle product documentation. Oracle will support the use of our products on any later SP or OS security patch as soon as that SP or patch becomes generally available. Depending upon the severity, quantity, and impact of the SP or patch-related issues found, Oracle may recommend that customers wait until relevant Oracle patches have been released before upgrading to a particular SP or OS patch. Oracle may recommend or discourage the installation of specific SPs or patches if it will significantly affect the operation of Oracle software, either positively or negatively. If such a statement is deemed necessary, then Oracle Development will disseminate this statement in as timely a fashion as possible after the release of the SP or patch.
There are no known issues with ServicePack 2.

Which VMware support Windows 7 as Host and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS

Folks,
Hello. I need to install PeopleSoft PIA in Windows Server 2003.
Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium Editon and cannot dual boot multiple Operating systems. I have to install VMware in Host Windows 7 and then install Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS for PIA.
I have installed VMware Server 2.0.2 into Host Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333/ui cannot display any more.
I have found that Windows 7 is not a supported Host Operating System for VMware Server 2 and strange thing might happen anytime. I found that "VMware Player 3" is fully supported Windows 7 as Host OS but is not supported Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS.
Does any folks know which VMware product support Windows 7 as Host OS and Windows Server 2003 as Guest OS ?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1.
Ensure the printer is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and the drivers are up-to-date.
2.
Try the following method:
Printers that use ports that do not begin with COM, LPT,
or USB are not redirected in a remote desktop or a terminal services session
Hope this helps. Thanks.
Regards,
Nicholas Li - MSFT
That doesn't apply to Windows 7 Machines. I'm having the same problem as Acer_, I have a RDP Session from a Windows 7 Machine to a Windows XP machine and the local printer was available a few days ago but isn't anymore. The drivers are installed on both PC's
and are compatible with Windows 7.

Windows Server 2003 R2 32bit keeps unexpectedly rebooting - System Stop Failure

Good morning all,
I am currently having a very difficult time with my servers running Windows Server 2003 R2 32Bit SP2. I have had this server running over night last night and to come in this morning to find it has rebooted 4 times due to unexpected reboots. I have applied
the latest hotfix to this server but nothing has worked. This is a unknown server as its my companys branded. its got a 13 slot PCI backplane with a processor card running a i7 2600K with 4GB RAM. The processor card is called a ROBO-8780. I have got 5 HDD's
first 2 is RAID 1 which hold the OS and last 3 is RAID 5 which holds the data.
I am getting loads of different problems aswell on different servers where on a freshly build OS of Windows Server 2003 R2 32Bit SP2, its rebooting on the Windows splash screen, can sometimes get into safe mode but very rarely.
If you need any more information, please let me know, any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Hi,
Could you offer us the system log record information,Please do the following action then monitor again.
1. Run Windows Update and make sure you have the latest patches and service packs installed
2. Check so your server have the latest drivers installed from the manufacturer homepage. If not, please update your drivers, firmware and BIOS
3. Uninstall any Antivirus.
Hope this helps.

Migration 10.2.0.1.0 windows server 2003 to linux 11gr2

Hello
we are migrating from 10.2.0.1.0 windows server 2003 to unix 11gr2
please suggest any material regarding this kind of migration
there is a test environment also, so that i can test
right now i have downloaded the oracle linux 5.7 and will be installing 11g on it
for the test server----i am planning to use 'exp' since i have to export from windows to linux and then test the .NET applications on it
any valuable suggestions would b helpful
(rman and datapump also could be used i am aware)
also what is better linux or solaris??
thanks in advance

Hi;
I suggest to go wiht RMAN instead of datapump utulity. Because If you have lots of schema,trigger etc. you need to recheck them after import.So I prefer to go wiht RMAN
I suggest review:

My computer has had a new operating system put on Windows 7 but I did not de-authorise my old computer which was Windows Vista and now I cannot sync my Ipod Classic as it keeps saying I have exceeded my maximum of 5 computers being authorised.

My computer has had a new operating system put on (Windows 7) but I did not de-authorise my old computer which was Windows Vista and now I cannot sync my Ipod Classic as it keeps saying I have exceeded my maximum of 5 computers being authororized. I tried doing this via my account in the Itunes Store but it still won't allow me to do this. Can anyone help?

Migrate oracle 10.2.0.5.0 enterprise on windows server 2003 32bit to Linux

Hello,
I am trying to find any white paper regarding the benefits of migrating oracle database from windows server 2003 32bit
to RedHat linux server 64bit.
The current db version on windows is 10.2.0.5.0
The new version on linux will be 11.2.0.3.0
If anyone crossed such a white paper describing the pros & cons for such a migration..
Thanks alot.
Edited by: user7320646 on Jan 9, 2013 5:45 AM

John makes some very good points but I would like to clarify one thing from his post: you are planning three migrations:
1. From 32bit -> 64bit
2. From Windows to Linux
3. From Oracle 10gR2 to 11gR2
The second of these is the one most liekly to give you grief. You certainly should not attempt to combine it with a database upgrade. Either move the database to RHEL and then upgrade it, or upgrade it on Windows and then move it to the new server.
Of these, the first is the least controversial. So it's a nice point whether it is worth upgrading from Windows 32bit to Windows 64bit prior to moving to Linux.
Cheers, APC
