hi Atul

Can I install VMWare on an External hard drive and then install R12 on that.

pls reply
thanks
Santosh

 

Yes Santosh ,

You can install VMware on External Harddisk & install Oracle Apps R12 on this. I have done it via USB external Hard disk which I'll be covering in my next post.

Atul

 

Would there be an advantage to create a virtual machine with the OS components on the local hard drive and then only the files for the R12 install on the USB external disk drive? Or should you just install everything on the external hard drive?

Thanks,
Brian

 

Hi Brian,
I don't see big advantage on installing OS component on Local drive , I suppose its better to install everything on external drive if this is for Apps as this is easy for moving entire APPS across servers from one machine to other

 

Hi Atul,

I am not getting Answer, Thats why I try to locate you here and there:
My Qn is
Regarding Apps DBA responsiblity:
Once we successfully installed Oracle 11i (11.5.10) from staging, what is the next step Apps DBA to do before handed over to Functional people?

Thanks and Regards,

Jo.

 

Hi Jo ,
Post Install steps are mentioned in Installation guide under post installation steps .

Few of them

Take backup
Schedule gather stats
Apply additional patches (if required for any functionality)

 

Hi Atul,
Thanks for the answer!

Another Qn:
1. Could you tell me How to purge Concurrent Request?
I did try this but not purging, could you correct if there is any mistake in this line?

G:\home\testora\prodcomn\admin\log\PROD_myoracle> fndcppur apps/apps 0 Y request
age=30

2. Also could we use OAM for purging?

Jo.

Hai Atul,

After successful installation of the LInux in VMWARE,(I used 3 cds).I didnt give any password other than root password. after rebooting,am asked for the login name and password and it doesnt accepts the root password. Please guide me asusual.
Thanks
Yusuf

 

Yusuf,
Check if Caps Lock is on. You either forgot password or your keyboard settigns have changed (US or UK)

Put password in notepad & then see.

 

Hai Atul,

Referrin to that passwor issue,(LInux in VMWARE) it is not accepting ROOT as user and am sure am typing the correct password.Please guide me.

Thanks
Yusuf

 

My two word advice .. REINSTALL Linux

 

HI ATUL,
i am installing R12 on linux operating system i followed 405293.1 doc which i got from metalink at last it is showing 6 eerors linke HTTP,VIRTUAL DIRECTORY,LOGIC PAPE,JSP, HELP PAGE,CONFIGURATION UPLOAD ALL THIS R SHOWING RED COLOUR INTO MARK

 

For any issues raise them in forum at http://teachMeOracle.com/forum

 

Hi Everyone

I've just come across this post which is interesting as I've just done exactly this. I now have a VMWare client running Oracle Enterprise Linux and E-Bus R12.

It works! However, I would caution you on expecting speed if you cannot give the client about 2Gb RAM.

I gave the VMWare client 1.3Gb and it uses about the same in SWAP at all times with R12 running. Obviously this means that the external hard drive is taking a severe IO hit running E-Bus.. I might look at putting the SWAP on another disk to improve performance.

The only issue I had during the install was some .zip files not being copied to the staging area correctly. Other than that, all went well!

Good luck!

Chris

 

Thanks chris for sharing this with Us. Your inputs and feedback will be helpful to readers in future as well.

 

Hi Atul,
Did you choose a dynamic IP or not ?
After installing Oracle Enterprise Linux, I am not able to ping internet sites.
Also, I didn't had to choose installation type as SERVER.
Thanks

 

Hi Atul,
I am not able to choose Server Installation because my dvd is not recognize. I have the following error:
"Unable to find any device of the type needed for install".
So linux is installed using:
"linux all-generic-ide"
What can I do ?
Thanks

 

Neto,
Not clear about your problem, If this is while installing linux on virtual server ..

Do you have iso image ?
Which flavour of linux u r installing (linux, suse, fedora.)

From where u r downloaded linux ?

 

I am installing Oracle Enterprise Linux on my PC not on a virtual machine. There is no problem with medias.

 

This is quite common error , check on linux forums .

Atul,
After downloading all the zip files from edelivery, next how to unzip them and in what order, please help.

Use unzip file_name.zip

Unzip can be in any order, order doesn't matter as long as all files are unzipped properly

 

Hi,
Can we install oracle over Windows & Linux in a single machine and access both from different machine simultaneously.

 

hello Atul,
I am trying to install on VMWARE- RHEL4 12.0.4 and hitting a road block.
It is giving java null error and RW50004 errors. I am not able to resolve Atul, can you please help me.

Thanks
Muthu

 

Hi Atul,

Great work. You performed single node installation of Oracle 12 on Linux VMWare. Did you attempt to install using multinode option that uses the Shared APPL_TOP feature? or mutlinode option can be possible using your configuration. Thanks.

Best regards
