Infrastructure at your Service
As an Alfresco developer/administrator, you probably already made a few mistakes in your DEV environment while trying to add new features, a custom model or something like that. The result of that mistake might be a corrupted Database or Content Store. Yes I know it’s hard to recognize it! But then what can be done to solve the issue and restore an usable installation? Well if you don’t have a backup or don’t want to…
Some days ago EnterpriseDB released EDB Postgres Advanced Server 9.5. As usual this release contains all new features that have been introduced with PostgreSQL 9.5 plus the additions that are documented in the release notes. Some time ago I blogged on how to install the 9.4 release. In this post I want to check if anything changed in the installation process. Installing Postgres Advanced server usually is just clicking next,next,next and you’re done if you…
What to do if you get the above error when you try to install Oracle SE2 (did not test if the same issue is there with EE, but probably it is) in silent mode?: ./runInstaller oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY \ ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle/ \ ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_2_4/ \ UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall \ oracle.install.db.DBA_GROUP=dba \ oracle.install.db.OPER_GROUP=dba \ oracle.install.db.BACKUPDBA_GROUP=dba \ oracle.install.db.DGDBA_GROUP=dba \ oracle.install.db.KMDBA_GROUP=dba \ FROM_LOCATION=../stage/products.xml \ INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/ \ SELECTED_LANGUAGES=en \ oracle.install.db.InstallEdition=SE2 \ DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true -silent -ignoreSysPrereqs -ignorePrereq -waitForCompletion You already checked my oracle support and verified that…
In the previous blog, I described How to install and manage a Kerberos Server but that’s useless if there are no clients and if no application have been kerberized! That’s why in this blog I will explain in the first part how to install a kerberos client in linux. The second part will be dedicated to the configuration of a browser to use Kerberos tickets and the last part will explain how to configure a…
For some time now, I have been working on how to set up a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution in my company. As a big fan of Open Source solutions, I have obviously proposed the implementation of a solution based on Kerberos. What I mean by that is a solution based on the true Kerberos, i. e. MIT Kerberos. Indeed, Kerberos was originally a research project at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) in the early…
Among the Oracle 12c new features there is the addition of an uninstall tool encapsulated in the Oracle database binaries. There is no more the necessity to download the deinstallation tool for Oracle products (deinstall utility). In this blog I propose an overview of this tool and its functionnalities.
In a previous article, I have shown how to configure two servers in order to deploy a two-nodes 12c cluster. This time, I am going to describe the Grid Infrastructure 12c installation process using Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). We assume that cluvfy tool has returned no errors (see previous blog). Install Grid Infrastructure Connect as grid and launch the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) from /software/grid: $ /software/grid/runInstaller.sh Starting Oracle Universal Installer… Checking Temp space: must…
Grid infrastructure 12c has recently been released. In this posting, I will show that the installation prerequisites are quite similar between Grid Infrastructure 11g and 12c. We will see parts of them during a review for the deployment of Grid Infrastructure on a two nodes RAC database cluster. Server hardware requirements Let’s see the hardware part. Grid infrastructure 12.1 Grid infrastructure 11.2 Minimal size for /tmp 1 GB 1 GB Minimal size for Grid infrastructure…
Starting with Oracle Database 12C Release 1 a set of new administrative privileges that are more task oriented are available.
Before Oracle 12c it was needed to have the SYSDBA privilege to make a backup, to monitor the Data Guard status or to administrate some features of Oracle Transparent Data Encryption. Starting with this new Oracle release it is not anymore the case. We can grant limited administrative privileges to operate an Oracle 12c database.
During one of my last consulting missions, I had to install Oracle Database Vault on an existing Oracle environment. It clearly was not a straigthforward process, since I experienced some weird errors such as: ORA-28003: password verification for the specified password failed, ORA-20001: Password length less than 8, and ORA-01917: user or role ‘LBACSYS’ does not exist. After having a look at several log files, I found the root causes of this error. Below, you…
