Re: Oracle networking temp files in /tmp

2003-11-26 Thread Gilles PARC
Rich,

Cannot verify now but if I remember correctly, these files
are generated by a program in $ORACLE_HOME/bin
Look for something like gen* (gennttab ??)
This program is generally called during some oracle relink.

Re: RMAN Script

Hi Ramon,

I guess you are on 8i :
your setsize and fileperset specs should be 
inside the backup command not outside i.e.
something like this :

backup
 fileperset 2
 setsize 2000
 database


RE: OFA and RAC on raw devices

2003-11-19 Thread Gilles PARC
Hi Muqthar ,

thanks for you reply.
Some more precisions :

What about the OFA admin subtree (create, pfile, udump,bdump..) ?
Did you duplicate it on each node ?

What are the steps in Service Guard to configure failover File system ? 

Do you use RMAN for backups ? if yes with autolocate 9i feature ?

If you used soft links for datafiles, it means you have some sort of
/oradata// structure on each node. Right ?
Does this prove helpful ?

Hi listers, 

 Configuration  :

 Oracle 9iR2 with RAC (2 nodes)

Oracle software is installed on each node and
the database is on shared raw devices.

 Any experience/gotchas implementing OFA on RAC without cluster file systems? 
 In particular, do you share the admin subtree between nodes ? and how (NFS

Also do you cross-mount archive log file systems ?

Urgent : Create tablespace performance problem

2003-06-25 Thread Gilles PARC
Hi Listers,

Configuration  :

Software : Aix 4.3.3  / Oracle 9.2.0.3
Hardware ; 6 CPU, 16 Go RAM, 
DAS clarriion FC4500 with 2 Storage Processors (SP)
1 Fibre channel link by SP
10 x 36 Go Disks
 512 Mo of cache
Disk configuration :
1 RAID group raid1 (2 disks)Lun bound to SPA  --> hdisk1 --> VG01
1 RAID group raid5 (9 disks - stripe size 128Ko)  Lun bound to SPB  -->
hdisk2 --> VG02
1 RAID group raid5  (6 disks - stripe size 64Ko) Lun bound to SPA -->
hdisk3 --> VG03
1 RAID group raid1(2disks) Lun bound to SPB --> hdisk4 --> VG04
1 Hot spare

Now the problem : 
Nota : Oracle block size is 8Ko

I created 8  x 8 Go raw logical volumes (aka raw devices)  on VG02
when I create a 64 Go tablespace (8 datafiles)
on these, it takes 2h30

then I created 10 x 8Go raw logical volumes on VG03
But when I create a 80 Go tablespace (10 datafiles)
on these, it takes only 30 minutes. 
That's 5 times less for a bigger size !!

What can be the reason ?

So far, the differences I see are :
- VG and so LVs are attached to a different controller (SPA vs SPB)
- stripe size is different (64k vs 128K)
- stripe width is different (6 disks vs 9 disks)
- VG Partition Size is different (256 Mo vs 512 Mo)

Which one do you think is the main culprit  ?
As I'm not on site and I don't want to change all at once, 
I plan to ask first for a double check of the FC links, controllers and
Luns configuration 
But after that except asking to rebuild with the same stripe size , width
and PPsize,
I'm at a loss.

Any ideas ?   except BAARF of course ;-))

Thanks in advance

Maybe I miss the obvious..
Considering remote_os_authent=false, why for LOCAL connections
os_authent_prefix='' is inherently less secure than os_authent_prefix=OPS$ 
or whatever string you choose.
In each case, the prerequisite is to create the user "identified externally"
(that's where you MUST be cautious)
But if scott is created with a password (i.e create user scott identified
by tiger)
then no OS user scott can log on whatever the os_authent_prefix is.
At least that's how I understand the feature.
Can you please elaborate on the security issue ?

In fact if os_authent_prefix=OPS$ and ONLY in this case,
you can still do this (it's inherited from V6 days but still working
with Oracle 9i R2) :

create user ops$arup identified by nanda;
grant create session to ops$arup;
And know you can either connect with
sqlplus /
or
sqlplus /nolog
connect ops$arup/nanda
or 
sqlplus /nolog
connect ops$arup
password  : nanda

Although it doesn't work directly from the command line 
like  sqlplus ops$arup/nanda 
or sqlplus ops$arup
password : nanda
(But works again after you get
 Enter username for a 2nd try)

Re: DATAFILE SIZE

2003-06-24 Thread Gilles PARC
Hi jerome,

I think there is still a limit.
For example, with Oracle 9i 64 bits on Aix 4.3.3
the limit is around 4 million Oracle blocks  (exactly  4194303)
for a datafile/tempfile
So the real limit depends on your db_block_size but there is one.

FYI : Bug on asynch Io for Aix 4.3 / Oracle 9.2

2003-02-19 Thread Gilles PARC
Hi listers,

I discovered recently that the init.ora parameter
filesystemio_options defaulted to none in 9.2 on Aix 4.3.3.
(In 8i it was hidden and defaulted to asynch).

This parameter is mainly here to help avoid OS bugs / problems  
by disabling certain types of IO (I think mainly Aio) on file systems.

I opened a TAR and was just told that this issue has been logged under Bug
2510406 ( UNPUBLISHED) fixed in 10i. 
Abstract: " FILESYSTEMIO_OPTIONS IS SET TO "NONE" WITH A DEFAULT ON AIX " 

As the Oracle analyst couldn't say what was the impact if I put it back to
asynch, I asked for a backport in 9.2.
I asked also for an alert.

HTH

Re: lost control files

2003-01-09 Thread Gilles PARC
Hi ,

Some precisions :

If you have ONLY LOST the controlfiles after a clean shutdown
(normal or immediate) you can just  :
1) startup nomount
2) recreate the controfiles (CREATE CONTROLFILE command)
3) open the database in NORESETLOGS mode.

If you have ONLY LOST the controlfiles after a shutdown abort
or hardware crash  you have  to : 
1) startup nomount
2) recreate the controfiles (CREATE CONTROLFILE command)
3) recover database (this will use your online logs)
3) open the database in NORESETLOGS mode.

Hope thie helps

RE: encrypted user/passwd connection

2003-01-07 Thread Gilles PARC
Hi, 

I think these 2 parameters are necessary ONLY for sql*net V2
compatibility.
If you are all Net8 (client and server), the password is always
encrypted whatever the number of failed attempts.

To test it, active the trace in your client sqlnet.ora file (level 8 or 16)
and examine the trace file.

By the way,  ORA_ENCRYPT_LOGIN must be set in the environment
(or registry) and DBLINK_ENCRYPT_LOGIN in the init.ora parameter 
file.

Hope this helps

Re: rbs' maxextents in LMT

2003-01-06 Thread Gilles PARC
Hi,

the trick is to use package dbms_space_admin (Cf Oracle Doc)
to convert from DMT to LMT.
With this method, you obtain a "USER" allocation type as seen in
dba_tablespaces view that allow you to use maxextents clause.

N.B. to ease  the conversion, it's better to have DMT tablespaces already
using "minimum_extent" clause

Hope this helps

Security risk with catsnmp catalog

2002-08-11 Thread Gilles PARC

Hi Listers,

There is a security risk with catsnmp catalog
(/rdbms/admin/catsnmp.sql) 
which is shipped with Oracle releases.
This is generic.
 
 Details :
 this file drop and recreate user dbsnmp with default password 
 "dbsnmp" and give him different privileges.
 For 8i releases, it is mostly V_$ views privileges
 But for 9i releases, it will grant "SELECT ANY DICTIONARY" 
 privilege (this one give access to any sys objects like link$ if 
 you see what i mean...).
 
 One can argue that the security policy of the site  should ensure that
default passwordmust be changed. 
 But even in this case, I'm sure that over the time many databases will
reverse
 to the default  password because catproc.sql (which execute automatically
catsnmp) is required  when applying patchsets and sometimes individual
patches. 
 
I opened a TAR  and the support analyst referred me to bug #2432163 
which is visible (i thought  naively that all security problems were kept out
from prying eyes...) 

As a patch will probably take some time, i asked Oracle to place an alert
accordingly .

In the meantime, if you don't use OEM, i strongly suggest that you
1- execute /rdbms/admin/catnsnmp.sql to remove this stuff
2- remove /bin/dbsnmp which is by default setuid root
 (at least if you have followed install procedures and run root.sh)

Unbreakable...or autobreakable ;-)

 Hi Rich,
sorry for a late answer...

Recently  i had this same problem upgrading to 8.1.7.3
and found a clue burried in a Metalink Forum
(search for thread 142012.995)

 The interesting part is :

The problem might be related to a few SQL*Plus initialization bugs, 
i.e. you should not call PL/SQL in the  same session in which you started 
the instance. You need to reconnect first

RE: Riddle me this Oracle riddle...

2002-03-06 Thread Gilles PARC


Hi listers,

continuing on varchar2 memory cost  in  PL/SQL,
note this found in Oracle 8i/9i PL/SQL user guide :
(Chapter 3 PL/SQL Datatypes - Character types - Varchar2)

"Small VARCHAR2 variables are optimized for performance, 
and larger ones are optimized for efficient memory use. 
The cutoff point is 2000 bytes. For a VARCHAR2 that is 2000 bytes
 or longer, PL/SQL dynamically allocates only enough memory 
to hold the actual value. For a VARCHAR2 variable that is
shorter than 2000 bytes, PL/SQL preallocates the full declared length
 of the variable. For example,
if you assign the same 500-byte value to a VARCHAR2(2000 BYTE)
 variable and to a VARCHAR2(1999 BYTE) variable, the former 
takes up 500 bytes and the latter takes up 1999 bytes. "

Hi listers,

in case like me it escaped your attention last December,
there is a security alert concerning a flaw in  /bin/login on some

At least AIX and SOLARIS are concerned but check carefully
with your OS vendor and patch accordingly.
( for Aix 4.3  fix is APAR IY26443 )

Here are some references :

Hi Cherie,

Sorry to be late...

and i got an error saying that i had to install
Advanced Security Option to use this algorithm 
(for simple DES you don't get this error)

So, depending on the algorithm you want to use, 
you can have extra cost as ASO is not free at all.

Check carefully with your Oracle rep as i never get

Do you know a good key generator to strengthen 
the encryption process ??

Thanks in advance

RE: 8.1.7 DB and auto registration with Listener

2001-02-09 Thread Gilles PARC

Hi Kirti,

i had support on call today : they say it's probably generic but were
speculating about a  normal behavior not documented.
But as pmon registers correctly when the instance is started,
i had to insist they fill a bug.
I will let you know

Regards

Re: 8.1.7 DB and auto registration with Listener

2001-02-08 Thread Gilles PARC

Hi Kirti,

I have the same  problem here on Aix 4.3..3  / RDBMS 8.1.7 :
restarting or reloading the listener, pmon gets stuck on socket 
(close_wait status) and never register again the database.
But today i find a workaround simply putting INSTANCE_NAME parameter 
in my init.ora file

I have opened a TAR with OWS and they are supposed to fill
a new bug.

Hope this helps in your situation

Best Regards
