Posted on July 10, 2006 | 2 comments

Porject virtual unix lab. I am going to build up one online lab which contain Linux,Unix,Windows servers. You may ask what is “virtual” here. Answer is simple 🙂 all servers are virtual.. they are made up with vmware virtual hardware. my sole pupose is to build lab which i can access from internet. Suppose i want to deploy and test new php script which i can;t do on my productions ervers.. simple i will login to my lab and quickly depoly on my test domain and bingo!!! if all goes well make that script in to production env… thats it…..

here you can find my virtual lab psudo diagram…. as attachment….i will keep on blog on my private virtual lab using vmware at this section of my blog

Posted on June 12, 2006 | 1 comment

My ohter timewaste project load test vmware server (gsx) on centos 4.3

Ok i downloaded centos 4.3 from centos.org, installed on my vmwarebox server.ok now i need to install vmware gsx server.

untar setup.tar.gz (vmware gsx) to /root folder. Now need to run /.vmware-setup.pl …Bingo !!! thats it it will ask series of easy question
just give default 'enter' as answer :). it will compile kernel modules for vmware as centos is not built in for vmware gsx server. ( yo can install centos with gui …. but it requires developer tools , kernel developer  rpms. Next it will ask network settings just use default settings and don;t enable NAT option while setting  virtual networks(have some security issue with GSX 3.2 ,workaround update to GSX 3.2.1)

Now from my windows Xp laptop i used to connect vmware server vis vmware server console program. Its very fast and easy to use configure virtual boxex on your vmware server.

Ok now i created 3 virtual boxes on my  vmware server 1.RHEL smaba server+oracle 10g  2.Solaris 10 intel version 3. windows xp. i stared at a time bingo i thought my vmware server will on knee but stragly it survived well.
Although Centos "TOP" command showing high usage with vmware servd deamon…..

If you  require any help about VMWARE GSX server , just mail to me or leave a comment here 🙂 iam glad you assist no need to pay any $$$ for me :))))

Ok third time-waste project, making oracle express 10g dvdrom to cdrom

Posted on June 9, 2006 | Leave a comment

ya, I got oracle 10g express database dvd from oracle. But due to various reasons i want to have cd version. So i checked size of DVD it is 840 MB. This dvd is all one means it is having installer for Windows,Linux( Redhat,Debian). so using Ultraiso ( very feature rich software to edit,create dvd/cd iso images) i made image of DVDROM and removed debian package, windows package – Bingo now size is 450 MB only 🙂

If you Deb guy then remove Redhat rpm and windows installer file 🙂 simple. Now i can Cut ORacle 10g xe DVD to Cdrom.

Ok. How to install oracle 10g ( oracle xe – express) on cent os 4.3

First download centos from http://centos.org . it is clone of Redhat enterpise linux vr 4. install it ( For oracle 10 G no need to install GUI (xwindows ….) So remove all gui realted packages while install (this step reduces installation size,time,increases available Ram.

For oracle 10g make sure that your box having at least 512 MB ram. Ok later just follow the following steps.

source

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm

  1. If you downloaded the oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm executable, you would enter this command: 
    $ rpm -ivh downloads/oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm

    The installation displays a status of its progress.

  2. When prompted, run the following command: 
    $ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
  3. Enter the following configuration information:
    • A valid HTTP port for the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface (the default is 8080)
    • A valid port for the Oracle database listener (the default is 1521)
    • A password for the SYS and SYSTEM administrative user accounts
    • Whether you want the database to start automatically when the computer startsIf you enter Yes, then the database starts immediately

If you need to change the configuration settings, then you can do so by running the following command:

$ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure

To start the database manually, run this command:

$ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start

To stop the database manually, use the following command:

$ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
