2001-07-10 Thread Richard Huntley



Joe, Chris

uh, yeah Joe, I guess 
that's what I'm asking...I'm just trying to map the tablespaces/datafiles to the 
disk and "df -k" gives me something like

Filesystem 
Mounted on/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 
//proc 
/procfd 
 
/dev/fd/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s1/tmp/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0/u01/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1/u02/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3/u03/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0/u04/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1/u05/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3/u06/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0/u07/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s1/u08/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s3/u09
 
I'm expecting that to 
correspond to something like (c)ontroller, (t)arget, (d)isk and (s)lice. 
However, I know thereare at least 4 disks while everything is displaying 
as d0 andit's a 
test box so no RAID. However, I do have a box that uses RAID 5 and the 
same info would be helpful, however, the person
that did the original 
configuration is gone bye-bye, that's why I was wondering if there were any sys 
admin commands or a filie in the /etc or some other standard UNIX directory that 
would tell me this info.

Richard,

df -k will show you what slices of a disk have an entry in /etc/vfstab AND
have been mounted using the mount command in Solaris.  Whoever has root
privileges to the system (or have been given the right permissions) can use
the format command to see all disks attached to the machine, no matter if
they have been mounted or not - no matter if they have an entry in
/etc/vfstab or not.

Re: need to recreate database

2001-07-10 Thread DBarbour


Lyuda,

My guess is that if your networking folks performed the copy for you and
now all you have to do is get it up and running, you're probably better off
starting over.  If the database wasn't shutdown when the controlfiles were
copied, you're hosed.  I have no idea what you mean by copying the
datafiles - if the whole thing was shut down when the copies were made,
then why would you have to do an import/export? - the data is already
there.

Let's suppose that the networking guys knew about Oracle, and had shut
everything down before copying it (and copied) everything they needed to.
Safest bet is to move all the stuff to someplace else on your server or
another server, and follow this advice from Note #1080849.6 :

   

   1. Install the Oracle 
software  
   on server B.  You 
cannot simply 
   copy the orant folder 
to the
   new machine.  Registry 
entries  
   must be modified, file  

   dependencies between 
Oracle and 
   the Operating system, 
and   
   between multiple Oracle 
homes   
   (if applicable) must be 

   checked, services must 
be   
   created, etc.   

   

   2. Shut down the 
instance on
   server A.   

   

   3. Move all the data 
files, 
   redologs, archive logs, 
control 
   files, listener.ora,

   tnsnames.ora, 
initSID.ora and 
   configSID.ora to 
server B.
   

   4. On server B, open a 
Command  
   Window and execute the  

   following command:  

   

  oradim80 -new -sid 
sidname   
   -intpwd password -pfile 

   path_to_init_file 
-startmode
   auto

   

   5. Change the 
listener.ora to   
   reflect server B's 
hostname.
   

   6. Change all the 
tnsnames.ora  
   files on the clients to 
reflect 
   server B's hostname.

   

   7. Restart the 
listener.

initSID.ora dna

Shoot, had to look up pedantic...

Ok, I agree that df looks at /etc/mnttab to see mounted file systems, but in
order for an SA to mount a slice of a disk, that slice information must be
present in /etc/vfstab.  At least that's the way I learned.  It's possible
to have a mounted file system without having an entry in /etc/vfstab??  How
do you do that?  I guess I've never heard of this or tried to mount a slice
without putting an entry in /etc/vfstab first.  Can you manually manipulate
/etc/mnttab?

Re: UNIX

2001-07-10 Thread Jared . Still



Richard,

I think I know what you want. If you are trying to determine the actual
physical
disks that your datafiles are layed out on, and you're on Solaris, you
probably
need to use the 'vxprint' command.  This assuming you have Veritas volume
manager, which many Solaris sites use.

What you find may surprise  you.  I know I was when I discovered the TEMP
file system mapped onto the spare space on 156 physical disks.

Re: UNIX

2001-07-10 Thread George Schlossnagle

Nope, you don't need an entry in the /etc/vfstab.  You can just do a

mount options block_device mount_point and you're set.

Of course that won't be remounted when you reboot unless you put it in the
vfstab.  This is a classic blunder (you mount a new fs by hand, add
datafiles and forget to add it to the vfstab.  Low and behold, when the box
is rebooted, all your file 'disapear')

Best,

George

p.s.  I believe that manually altering mnttab is very very bad.

 Shoot, had to look up pedantic...

 Ok, I agree that df looks at /etc/mnttab to see mounted file systems, but
in
 order for an SA to mount a slice of a disk, that slice information must be
 present in /etc/vfstab.  At least that's the way I learned.  It's possible
 to have a mounted file system without having an entry in /etc/vfstab??
How
 do you do that?  I guess I've never heard of this or tried to mount a
slice
 without putting an entry in /etc/vfstab first.  Can you manually
manipulate
 /etc/mnttab?

 Not to be pedantic, but df -k shows all mounted partitions, regardless of

 /etc/mnttab (whihc should be readable by everyone, but I suppose some sick

As you must be knowing the first command of oradim is used for creating the

there is no compulsary thing that the second command should run , but the 
first is a must otherwise NT will not allow you to start the database.

Re: How to execute Unix Command/program within a pl/sql block.

2001-07-10 Thread Jared . Still


Unless I disrember, you can create a PL/SQL wrapper for your
Java stored procedure, and call OS commands from that.

Another way is to create an external library to do it for you.
This can also be in in Java, or in C.

 Hi

 Thanks in advance.
 -Seema

You can't. The nearest you can get is to write a daemon program which
waits for commands on a (dbms) pipe, executes them (popen(),
while(fgets()) {}, pclose() in C) and feeds the output back to the pipe.
Needless to say, it can be a serious security gap if you do not screen
the commands, since you are likely to execute them with the privileges
of the user under which the said program is run.
Many moons ago, there used to be something named 'flex' developed by
Oracle consultants and freely available on the web which was more or
less doing that. It may or may not still be around. I have had a look at
it after having developed my own (in Pro*Fortran and under VMS, nothing
stops me - no pipe, but a /OUTPUT=... was appended to the command and I
was reading and sending back the ouput file) and I can tell you that
Flex was unnecessarily complicated. To make simple seems very difficult
to many people.

  I will make the assumption this is on unix and you can write a shell 
  script. Here is a skeleton of the code. You can put your own 
  checks it.
  
  EXAMPLE 
  
  
  #!/bin/ksh
  
  tail -1f alert_x.log | while read linedo
  
   any other code you want here.
  
   echo $line | grep ORA- if [ $? 
  -eq 0 ] ; then 
  ( 
  error=`echo $line | sed 
  's=:.*=='` 
  echo "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" 
  echo "Subject: `uname -n` 
  $error" 
  echo "`uname -n` 
  alert_log" 
  echo $prevline | sed 
  's=:=-=' 
  echo $line | sed 's=:=-=' ) | 
  mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
  fi
  
   prevline=$line
  
  done
  
  
  This will run perpetually and check every line the alert log 
  writes. You can test for any messages you want and send messages to 
  whatever. Note the sed command changes ':' to '-' because mail has a 
  problem with colons in the text body sometimes. Also, some mail servers 
  cannot handle it properly without the extra "To:". 
  
  Obviously, this is just a snippet of code. You need to customize it 
  for your own needs. You may need to write other scripts to query the 
  database to get number of connections and active connections if you need 
  that.

It's possible to run a Net8 network without using domains at all.

If this is true, why create net service names that are qualified by a domain

HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT

2001-07-10 Thread DBarbour

Jared - we were wrong, there are worse applications than Remedy out there.
I may be involved with one now.  The application uses massive sql
statements generated from a VB front-end connecting to COBOL on the server
via ODBC that runs against the database.  Some of our power users have been
receiving intermittent ORA-03232 errors.

From the manual:

ORA-03232 unable to allocate an extent of string blocks from tablespace
string

 Cause: An attempt was made to specify a HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT value
 that is greater than the tablespace's NEXT value.
 Action: Increase the value of NEXT for the tablespace using ALTER
 TABLESPACE DEFAULT STORAGE or decrease the value of
 HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT.

HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT specifies how many sequential blocks a hash join
reads and writes in one IO. When operating in multi-threaded server mode,
however, this parameter is ignored (a value of 1 is used even if you set
the parameter to another value). Because Oracle computes the value for this
parameter based on the query, you need not set the value for this
parameter.

The maximum value for HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT varies by operating system.
It is always less than the operating system's maximum I/O size expressed as
Oracle blocks (max_IO_size/DB_BLOCK_SIZE).
This parameter strongly affects performance because it controls the number
of partitions into which the input is divided. If you change the parameter
value, try to make sure that the following formula remains true:

 R / M = Po2(M/C)

where:
 R = size of(left input to the join)
 M = HASH_AREA_SIZE * 0.9
 Po2(n) = largest power of 2 that is smaller than n
 C = HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT * DB_BLOCK_SIZE

Right now, I don't want to alter the value of next, as this beast is barely
under control as it is.  So I thought I might change the value of
HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT.  Problem is, I can't seem to determine a value
for R.  v$sqlarea and v$sqltext don't seem to be of much help outside of
being able to see the actual sql. Ditto with a few others I've tried.

Any takers?  Oracle 8.1.7/HPUX 11(64 bit)

RE: Sizing a new server

2001-07-10 Thread Reardon, Bruce (CALBBAY)

Hi Lisa,

I also have good feelings for VMS so don't see the problem with an Alpha.
As for the disk farms, the RAID 7000 gave very good performance on VMS so 2
of the es10K should be excellent.

You and your company are of course aware that Compaq is planning to stop
Alpha chip development in 2-3 years and will port Tru64, VMS and NonStop
Kernel OS to Itanium processor family. 
(if not see http://www.compaq.com/newsroom/pr/2001/pr2001062501.html 
and http://www.compaq.com/hps/ipf-enterprise/ceo_letter.html as starting
points).

Regards,
Bruce Reardon

Hi Lisa,
 
That doesn't sound too bad, the 8400 is a solid piece of kit. 64-bit, up to
14 CPUs and 28G of memory. They have seriously good I/O bandwidth. Needs a
three-phase power supply and weighs, literally, half a tonne. And best of
all, you can run VMS on them!

Bruce, 
It's going to be Unix, tru64.  Unfortunately I will be stuck with some old
hardware to start with - an Alpha, 8400, I believe maxes out at 8 cpu's,
along with two old disk farms (compaq esa10k).  I'm slapping together a
bunch of old pieces of hardware, upgrading where needed, obtaining software
licensing where needed, compaq hardware/software support, and with some duct
tape, political brown-nosing done by others and a few users screaming for
their data, I'll hopefully end up with some sort of reporting tool hitting
this.  (BizObj or Cogno$).  Man Cognos is expensive. 
I wish I could choose AIX here.  It's not an option.  
See doesn't this sound like a director's job?? 
Say it again:  I LOVE MY JOB 
Lisa

Thanks Kimberly, 
I wish it was that way.  I have to justify my request with hard numbers or 
they are going to laugh at me when I say, Because that's what I want.  :) 
They don't yet know how I'd react to that, it would be a knee-jerk type of 
reaction involving creative expletives...  not pretty.  
Good for you.  At least you have some real hardware and true HA.  I wish I 
did

Get the biggest, kick ass server they will let you buy.  If your site is 
anything like mine they just keep asking for more and more databases.  So no

matter what I have now I know its not enough.  I am really happy with the 
nice new N-class HP cluster I have sitting next door running Service Guard. 
I am also getting a A-class database cluster for some important but not fab 
critical databases.  Now if I can only get ride of the 5 K-class database 
servers.  Its kind of like when you go from a fast to a slow PC.  Drives me 
crazy.  Not that there are issues with performance from the databases.  It 
would only be me, while playing (which of course means working) on the 
server, that would notice.

Good morning everyone, 
Lucky me, I get to choose the size of the server this company should 
consider purchasing.  I have been poking around on the net for any 
guidelines - I can make guesses based upon my gut feel and how strapped the 
current unix server is, but I want to be able to back this up with hard 
numbers.  This is for a dw application. 
Can anyone point me to a website, book, or anything in particular that can 
help me justify sizing a machine?  It's so fun working for a company that 
doesn't have a sysadmin on staff...  
Thanks

RE: Rename alert log

2001-07-10 Thread Reardon, Bruce (CALBBAY)

Hi,

I have just found the email I posted earlier about this in the List
archives.
To find it search for when it will need to delete the alert log
file

I can't comment on the accuracy with respect to Unix as don't use it.
Under NT as others have said you can just rename the alert logfile and a new
one will be created.

The note summary is:
 Deleting the alert.log when the database is up 
 Type: Note Doc ID: 122401.1 
 Modified Date: 14-MAY-2001 
 Status: PUBLISHED 
 Platform: Unix Generic issue

 Hi,

 For information.

 At various times there has been a lot of discussion about deleting =

 Looking through Metalink I found the following note which describes =
the
 behaviour change between 7.3.4 and 805 and above.

 Hope it is of help.

 Regards,
 Bruce

 Type:  BULLETIN
 Status:  PUBLISHED
 Content Type:  TEXT/PLAIN
 Creation Date:  18-OCT-2000
 Last Revision Date:  14-MAY-2001


 Problem Description
 ---

 The Oracle background processes has an open file descriptor on the
 alert.log.
 When the database is up and running it continually holds this file
 descriptor
 open. This was not the case in 7.3.4, but is true for 8.0.5 to 8.1.7.

 This poses the question: What if the database is up and the alert.log
 gets too large. Do I have to shutdown the database to release the =
open
 file descriptor on the alert.log, then deal with the large alert.log?


 Solution Description
 

 You are able to copy the alert.log while the database is up and =
running.

 1) Create an empty file:
   (example: touch nullfile.log)

 2) Replace the old alert.log with the new empty file:
   (example: mv nullfile.log alert.log)

 The running database experiences no affects when doing this.


 Explanation
 ---

 Having the continual open file descriptor on the alert.log is =
intended
 behaviour for the database.

dunno about NT, I do know that it changed on Unix.. as per a thread here in 
the not too distant past. I believe Anita had posted something on it.. and 
that it WAS a change from prior versions.

I am an Oracle on NT ignoramus :)

In 816 on NT, you can rename it any time you want.

is this changing in 817 Rachel?

depends on the version of the database you are running.. it used to be that
yes, you could just rename it and Oracle would open a new one of the
original name when it needed to write to it.

In 8.? and above, you can no longer just rename it, Oracle now maintains an
open file pointer to it, similar to the way it handles the listener log
file. So you will need to do the same sort of tricks to the alert log as 
you

have to do to the listener log (make a copy then copy /dev/null to the
original)

Re: Why default domain?

2001-07-10 Thread Jon Walthour

In short, I don't. I use local resolution (as our ONS is frequently down and
unreliable) and none of my aliases have domain names attached to them. In my
sqlnet.ora, the entries about default domain, etc. are all commented out.

 The O'Reilly Net8 book states:

 It's possible to run a Net8 network without using domains at all.

 If this is true, why create net service names that are qualified by a
domain
 name, why define a default domain in sqlnet.ora, etc.?  What benefit do
you
 get by setting things up to use a domain?

Setting event 10032

2001-07-10 Thread novicedba




hi all,
this is an excerpt from Steve Adams 
site
http://www.ixora.com.au/newsletter/2000_12.htm
First you need to determine the largest disk sort that is performed 
by the batch process. This can be done by setting event 10032 at level 1 in the 
session and then examining the process trace file. 

I wanted to know how to set the event at 
level

I use
8.1.5,8.1.6,8.1.7 on Windows NT 4.0
8.1.6,8.1.7 on RedHat Linux 7.0

thanks in advance
