OVM Server installation error: losetup

3481293Sep 12 2017 — edited Jul 20 2018

Hi,

While installing ORacle VM Server for x86_64 (v 3.4.2 or 3.4.3) I'm getting and error from Anaconda:

RuntimeError: Error running losetup:

Usage: losetup [-d] <loopdev> [file]

losetup: error: no such option: -f

After the message installation is aborted.

I downloaded again the iso image in case it was the wrong version but got same results

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Hi,

1) unless index is in an invalid or unusable state, it is very unlikely that it would ever need a rebuild
http://richardfoote.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/index-internals-rebuilding-the-truth.pdf

2) ANALYZE is obsolete, don't use it anymore
3) DBMS_STATS is the way to go (you don't necessarily have to call GATHER_INDEX_STATS explicitly, you can also use CASCADE=>true option in GATHER_TABLE_STATS)

Best regards,
Nikolay

Thank for your reply.

Please explain me Index Rebuild ONLINE
and what is the functionality for the DBMS_STATS.GATHER_INDEX and when we need to use ?

Why are you asking to rephrase what is already explained in the online documentation?

Why don't we go another way: you spend a few days working through the links and online documentation, and then if you have any questions left, you ask them here.

Hi ,

I am able to understand the DBMS_STATS from this link.

Could you please give me 2 lines answers for what are the advantages if we use DBMS_STATS

Answer
In order to make good use of the cost based optimizer, you need to create statistics for the data in the database.
