In addition, about Kernel/Environment Settings:
SHMMAX 1GB
SHMMIN 1
SHMMNI 100
SHMSEG 10
SEMMNI 70
SEMMNS 200
maxdsiz and maxdsiz_64bit must be >= 128Mb

SHLIB_PATH = $ORACLE_HOME/lib (32/64 bit)

LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $ORACLE_HOME/lib64 (64 bit only)

Thx twang for ur response.
However, in your response, you have not said any thign particular about the server version rp8400.
Also I have the base release of Oracle 8.1.6. and not Rel 2 yet.
my oracle version is 32 bit whiel the HP-UX is 64 bit.
also what documentaion or tip do i need as per the SAN implementation on these paltforms.
Thx for anticipated response.

Re: HP-UX 11.00 AND ORACLE 8.1.6 on rp8400 server

Hi, I found that both 8.1.6 (8i) 64-bit and 8.1.6 (8i) 32-bit are certified on this plarform (rp8400).
Regarding runging Oracle on SAN, I have no practical experience about it, I made no comments on this, You may take a look at this link:

Hope it helps.

Hi,
for oracle there are no special hint regarding the SAN, it is transparent to it !


I raccomend you to use zoning, to separate the traffic on the switch.

What HW are you going to use ?

Re: HP-UX 11.00 AND ORACLE 8.1.6 on rp8400 server

hi,

i just checked the certification matrix on Metalink.

For Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition on HP-UX PA-RISC:

11i -- 8.1.7 (8i) 64-bit is Certified
11i -- 8.1.6 (8i) 64-bit is Desupported

I would suggest that you install Oracle 8.1.7 and patchset 8.1.7.4.

This should be completely transparent both at the database and application level. 8.1.7.4 is much better than base release 8.1.6.


hope this helps!

Re: HP-UX 11.00 AND ORACLE 8.1.6 on rp8400 server

Hi Nago,

You must rethink this setup.
HP-UX 11.0 is NOT supported on rp8400 - only HP-UX 11.11 (11i).
All cell-based systems - rp7405, rp7410, rp8400 & all SDs - require 11i to be supported by HP.

Rgds,
Jeff

Re: HP-UX 11.00 AND ORACLE 8.1.6 on rp8400 server

And as Yogeeraj pointed out the *minimum* Oracle version one can run on HP-UX 11i is 8.1.7.4.
If you HAVE to run 11.0 & Oracle 8.1.6, you'll have to find an rp7430/50/70 to do it on. But note that rp7405/10 are cell-based systems also & would require 11i. The older N-class systems can run 11.0 as well.

This is to allow me inform my management of the position.
