Frightening number of linking errors for 11.2.0.1.3 on AIX 5.3 TL11
I just applied PSU 3 for 11.2.0.1 on AIX 5.3 TL11. That would have been more straight forward, had there not been a host of errors when relinking oracle. There were loads of these: Wow, that looked like a completely corrupted installation of Oracle now, and I got ready to roll the change back. However,…

Database Gateway for Sybase
Before starting to write this article I was wondering if it was of any use to anyone. Who in their right state of mind would use the Database Gateway for xxx, be it Sybase or Adabase or whatever othere database was to be used. If you have to, simply configure another data source in your…

Build your own 11.2.0.2 stretched RAC part IV
Finally I have some more time to work on the next article in this series, dealing with the setup of my two cluster nodes. This is actually going to be quite short compared to the other articles so far. This is mainly due to the fact that I have streamlined the deployment of new Oracle-capable…

First contact with Oracle 11.2.0.2 RAC
As you may know, Oracle released the first patchset on top of 11g Release 2. At the time of this writing, the patchset is out for 32bit and 64bit Linux, 32bit and 64bit Solaris SPARC and Intel.

Build your own 11.2.0.2 stretched RAC part III
On to the next part in the series. This time I am showing how I prepared the iSCSI openFiler “appliances” on my host. This is quite straight forward, if one knows how it works :) Setting up the openFiler appliance on the dom0 OpenFiler 2.3 has a special download option suitable for paravirtualised Xen hosts.…

Build your own 11.2.0.2 stretched RAC part II
I promised in the introduction to introduce my lab environment in the first part of the series. So here we go… OpenSuSE Similar to the Fedora project, SuSE (now Novell) have come up with a community distribution some time ago which can be freely downloaded from the Internet.

Build your own 11.2.0.2 stretched RAC
Finally time for a new series! With the arrival of the new 11.2.0.2 patchset I thought it was about time to try and set up a virtual 11.2.0.2 extended distance or stretched RAC. So, it’s virtual, fair enough. It doesn’t allow me to test things like the impact of latency on the inter-SAN communication, but…

Content theft on my blog
I have received an email today from Don Burleson who informed me that a number of my articles have mysteriously appeared on another weblog hosted by wordpress on the name of http://gjilevski.wordpress.com/. For instance: My post: https://martincarstenbach.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/upgrade-clusterware-10-2-to-11-2/ has reappeared as http://gjilevski.wordpress.com/2009/11/24/upgrade-oracle-crs-10-2-to-oracle-grid-11-2/. Even the host names are identical! The next one is a bit better as…

It has gone really quiet!
Yes, it has, and I’m really sorry but at the moment all the blog writing has to take a lower priority. I am working very hard to finish my chapters of the upcoming Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux, which turned out to be a lot more work than I expected. The last chapter…
