• Need advice, AIX 7 to Exadata Linux ASM - major DBMS systems migration

  We use databases 11.2.0.3 and 11.2.04 on AIX 7.1 using AIX file systems.   We have some databases of 2 TB and others much more small.  Production of about 50 and 200 databases off-production.   We are migrating to Exadata 4 with Linux.   What is your opinion on the migration method that should be used.   We can take some time from power failure to do so.

• Is there a group who is to wear the firefox, thunderbird or seamonkey for IBM AIX(5.3, 6.1 and/or 7.1)?

  Just try to find a more recent version of firefox, thunderbird and seamonkey for my
  IBM AIX (5.3 and 7.1) systems.
  I was wondering if anyone in this forum knows of someone trying a port of the
  latest version of AIX. (I use firefox 3.6.28, 3.1.20 Thunderbird and seamonkey 1.1.18)
  I really must update these products. Impossible to have full access to many sites.

  Hello

  I have mail in AIX problem. I can not send an email to user Oracle but can send messages to root level, sucesssful. E-mail send user either oracle eventually dead.letter, expert pleae help. Thank you.

  Check your configuration file "sendmail.cf.

  Contact your Internet service provider (or visit their website "support"),

  to find the ID of their 'SMTP' mail server, for example, something like "smtp.verizon.co".

  Insert this value.

  Starting a command line prompt, type something like "nslookup smtp.verizon.co."

  ensure that your AIX system can contact a DNS server

  to translate this name to a valid IP address.

  If it cannot, then you must check your DNS-server configuration and update this configuration file.

• IBM AIX running 6 servers UCS

  Hello

  There is a DC environment, hosted on IBM Blade servers, they have different OS, the OS is IBM AIX Power 6 which hosts an Oracle database.

  We provide a DC recovery site using Cisco UCS servers, prior to that, I want to be certain of the points below:

  1. IBM AIX power 6 compatibility with CISCO UCS servers?
  2. If we decided to choose CISCO UCS blade servers, what are the limits to the virtaulization?
  3. If virtualize us both environments, the current domain controller and the new DR, what kind of limitations we may face in terms of features of virtuatization?

• R12.2 EBS in EXADATA

  Hi all

  Someone has known about EBS R12.2 in EXADATA?

  I understand exadata is just a RAC in SunOS?

  Is it possible to clone EBS in EXADATA to a server instance unique non-exadata?

  Thank you very much

  JC

  Yes. I've updated / installed 12.2.4/12.2.5 EBS on Exadata.

  You can clone of Exadata to Non-Exadata. You can use RMAN backups to clone as usual.

  However, if you use OHCC then you must decompress tables. You can do this using alter table... move; etc.

  Let me know if you need help more to that!

• Datapatch on the new empty container (CBD, exadata 12.1.0.2) database returns the error state of the PDB.

  I created a new CBD CAR empty database on a cluster exadata using an ORACLE_HOME (12.1.0.2) which has been patched with patch latest bundle.

  I ran the datapatch utility to apply these patches to the container before any new APB to a database that is already patched the cloning.

  However, datapatch first correctly identifies adjustments but it fails on a prereq error:

  Unfortunately the MOS score is General and I do not see this situation described. The newspaper simply indicates this same error.

  
  

  Since there is no PDB, why make this mistake?  I don't think it's possible to open the PDB$ SEEDS as upgrade?

  
  

  I had already tried cloning my non - PDB in a PDB here (successfully) file, but then I also met problems with datapatch (in PDB not at CDB patch).  I tried with the options and force database and this succeeded with warnings, but I was unable to open the PDB.  I thought, okay, what oracle says that the whole point of multitenant is to be able to update the plugin, it should be possible to patch a CBD empty.  I can't seem to find much on this point, somebody manage this problem?

  
  

  What is the best method to establish the original CDB and ensure that it is patched in line with its ORACLE_HOME?

  
  

  Thank you!

  to work around this problem, new PSU have a new dependency for the datapatch to be applied correctly.

• DB too fast growth during the migration to AIX 12 c

  Hi all

  Please, help me understand why db growing so fast.

  I have an older server (Win2003) table with 11g, which contains 400 000 000 rows and receives 79 GB tablespace

  This table is sous-partitionnée and contains number and varchar2 datatypes (up to 50 bytes)

  After copying the data to the new table (which places on AIX 12 DB) with the same structure (I used INSERT + DBLINK) size of the table takes 118 GB!

  Please, help me to understand the reasons for this growth.

  Parameters of NLS Win2003 11g:

• How to plan interfaces or packages, if the files are windows and my server is AIX 7.1?

  Hi Expertise,

  I have to plan the interfaces and packages in studio ODI tends in Windows and the server is located in AIX 7.1

  While I'm with Agent to run the interface, it is been display of the file not found error. But while running without an agent he was running, the files are placed in the windows system, but not the AIX server.

  but when I put these files in AIX, I am able to run the interface with the agent. but in my scenario, the files are regardless of operating system.

  Can someone help me in the performance of the interface in which the DISHES files are in the Windows system and ODI server is IBM AIX 7.1 server.

  Please help me correct on how to program (I just calendar because, if the interfaces are able to run with agent then obviously they must provide, please correct me if I'm wrong.  ) interfaces using agent. ???

  I am very new to AIX.

  Thank you

  Shakur.

  1. Install Agent ODI on Windows Server? It solves your problem.

  2. the second way is sharing directory with files Windows OS using samba, and your agent on AIX server could take the files in the shared directory

• RTO in Exadata

  I have a few questions on OTN, please help.

  • for the 2 TB database, what is the objective of minimum possible recovery (RTO) for the X 5 - 2 Exadata quarter rack?
  • It is possible to get 2 minutes RTO for the 2 TB database running on rack quarter X 5-2?
  • What are the ways to reduce the OTR?
  • How long it is necessary to perform a full restore of database 2 TB quarter rack?

  Thank you

  Aerts

  Abhi-

  Here are my best attempts to answer your questions:

  • for the 2 TB database, what is the objective of minimum possible recovery (RTO) for the X 5 - 2 Exadata quarter rack?
    • There are so many variables to minimize the resulting RTO of used tools, network, storage, platform, distance/time of latency between physics and sleep, etc., it is difficult to respond to the possible minimum RTO. Theoretically using a solution like Golden Gate in a multi-master (two-way replication active/active) configuration, you may reach an RTO 0. This assumes that your application and database can support such a configuration. A more traditional and less complex DR configuration, using the data guard must be able to measure the RTO in a few minutes.
  • It is possible to get 2 minutes RTO for the 2 TB database running on rack quarter X 5-2?
    • In a real recovery architecture disaster primary/secondary with Exadata, the best solution is Data Guard. If correctly configured and able to minimize latency between main and backup, Server data hold switch or fail should be measured in minutes and should be possible to get almost 2 minutes RTO.
  • What are the ways to reduce the OTR?
    • There are several factors including the adequate capacity of the CPU on source and target, I/O bandwidth and latency, bandwidth and latency that affect the RTO with data protection. Make sure you have sufficient resources and best practices to set up your environment. Some white good reference books Oracle, which include specifications for Exadata, are http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/availability/sync-2437177.pdf for the transport of synchronous recovery and http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/availability/async-2587521.pdf for transport to asynchronous.
  • How long it is necessary to perform a full restore of database 2 TB quarter rack?
    • Depends on where you are restoring from. We have seen great results in the backup and restore of time using a ZFS storage device connected via Infiniband Exadata. With 2 controller 4 disc tray configuration we were able to restore a database of 2 TB in just 8 minutes.

• Update 11.2.0.4 to 12.1.0.2 grid on Exadata

  I am currently planning and tests of our upgrade to 12 c.  Given that our data on Exadata machine and find all the databases RAC, I will be upgrading the instance of grid first.  I've successfully upgraded the grid instance on my test server, but I wonder if I'm missing the preparation steps before you run the upgrade.  Specifically, are there backups or whatever I have to do for ASM?  I know that the instance of grid is not a database, but should I save in case I have to do a full restore of the grid instance?  On my test instance I turned off the server for an upgrade, and then was able to get successfully grid back up using option - downgrade.

  Is that all that I'm missing?

  Current context:

  Exadata quarter Rack

  OEL 6.6

  All 11.2.0.4 databases

  Hello

  1. you can save the prior agreement of grid to upgrade (I mean after a stop in case if you plan to remove these binaries)

  2 take the backup of configurations to/is/opt/oracle regarding the grid

  3. to be honest, you run the place, then you are on safe downgrade to 11204 (prepare for the planning of the down-grade n-box of questions)
