support rawdevices by linux oracle.

user325931Oct 27 2011 — edited Oct 31 2011
I am not a professional technician in linux, but I need everyone's opinion to reach a conclusion regarding Oracle Linux 5 update 7 which has the kernel 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek. What is the limit for raw devices supported by this distribution and kernel?
I know that the raw device was deprecated in this update to the version 3 and after its use was released by Oracle for your database in RAC environment.
As dis in metalink note 564580.1. A summary below.

Is> = EL5U4, configure raw devices via / etc / sysconfig / rawdevices rawdevices in Conjunction with the service.
Is <EL5U4, use a custom or existing script such as / etc / rc.local to configure raw devices, for example:

Raws These devices are configured using multipath.

Thanks.

Can't show you any documentation but i've run both SE1 and EE on VMware without problems. Can't tell if all functionality works on it but the basic ones i used worked.
Absolutley it is.

Have you heard of BIC2GO ?

When I was in OCS we used to cart round a BIC2GO image to help us get up and running when doing POC's with customer data, plug the VMWare into customer network and the client can access all presentation services over there network.

Hi,

we have an OBISE1 installed on an Windows XP (OBISE1 is supported only in Windows) on VMWare.
On VMWare you can install virual machines with linux and windows OSs.
It doesn't matter if is an phisical or virtual machine. The OS matters.

From what I understand, BIC2GO is for development/demo purposes.

My question is for running OBI EE on vmware for the production instance.

OBIEE supported platforms doc: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10417.pdf

If it doesn't specify it then by inference you could say it's not supported. Best to raise an SR to clarify with Oracle if you have to be certain.

As others have said, it certainly works on VMWare - but that's not the same as supported :)
Beat me to it ! , page 30 on that doc link above
