Atul,

This is exactly what I am trying to do on my laptop (Windows Vista) since last few days.
The main problem I am facing is, I am able to install Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) in the virtual machine (VM) but the OEL VM only shows 800×600 as maximum screen resolution. As I am new to Linux world, I am not yet able to figure out how to address the resolution issue. I also tried VirtualBox but same proble there as well.
Also, I have downloaded Oracle 10g on my laptop but it is not an ISO image. So is it possible for me to access Windows (Host) folder from Linux in VM (Guest) ? I am not able to do that either.
My aim is to install OEL as VM and install Oracle 10g on OEL. I will use Windows only for “normal” operations like net surfing etc.
Am looking forward to your blog for next article.

I’ve always used vmware to install oracle9i to test it to the core, but i wanted to test the networking capability of it.. i heard Vmware could be used to create virtual networks.. any tutorials to create networks and testing the networking capabilities of oracle would be of great helpful

Syed,
I suppose your external hard drive is FAT32 which support max file size of 2GB. Try changing file system type on host operating system (windows external drive) to NTFS or better split datastore file in size of 2 GB file while creating datastore

khan, we don’t record lectures and training is live with real instructor and hands on practice including installation , patching and cloning. YOu can ask questions during training or after training.

Khan,
You misunderstood statement I can assure you training is not recorded (If this is recorded I can gurantee full refund) above statement means

Using Web conferencing software you will connect to online meeting with trainer and other trainees where you will see trainers screen and he will explain using powerpoint presentation and exercises (actually doing hands-on on unix system) , later he will give you exercises (installation, patching, cloning) which you need to do yourself on system provided by us (or you can do on your own system). Trainer can access/take control of your screen, if you face any issues during exercises. If you want demo, please drop your number, convenient time or feel free or contact us via http://focusthread.com/training/online-apps-dba-training-11i-r12/24-apps-dba-hands-on-training/47-oracle-apps-dba-training

Hi Atul

I have done installation exactly as above documents .
As in this document show basic requirement for storage 20G and attached datastore more then 500G. But this datastore doesn’t mention in LINUX when i am using df -h command .

I exactly follow all steps of your document .

Do I need to extend the storage capacity from 20G to 300G . Or the system can access datastore . I don,t have the exact idea about this storage .

Thanks
Syed

If you are not available right now I will catch you in evening …..

Thanks
Syed

Hi Atul,
can i install Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 on VMware server 2.0 and install oracle apps R12 on Oracle enterprise linux5?
Also do i need to have internet connection enabled while installing oracle apps R12?
Thanks.

thanks so much for replying….
you cud save my life….here is why i m dying…
Oracle Linux 5 has 2.6.18 kernel which does not support my Intel Wifi 5100 card,,,so i downloaded one microcode for that,,,and installed it , now the wireless card is active but does not connect to my existing wireless network. So while installation of oracle apps R12, the hosts file will be needed and there is no network connection so will it still install oracle apps? also ill have to install some packages which will be done through internet like gcc, g++ , rpm etc…..
please help me….i tried installing oracle apps R12 on Ubuntu ..no luck….
please help.
thanks again.

In step 3.3 can it not be the C drive? I am getting an error message that it already exists.
