Oracle 10.2 in vmware image (version 0.2, with oracle 10.2.0.4)

The torrent ========= This is a VMWare image of CENT OS Linux 5, with Oracle 10.2.0.4 Enterprise Edition installed. DISCLAIMER: This if for educational porpose only. CENT OS is a free software, Oracle can be download free (registration needed) from http://otn.oracle.com so I recommend you get this working on your own. Quick Start ========= Download, uncompress, run with VMWare Player/workstation. You'll need 12.5GB for the uncompressed files. OS Users and passwords: root/root oracle/oracle Oracle users and password: sys, system, sysman, dbsnmp all with "oracle" password DB: ORACLE_SID DB1 is already created. Start as usual. Read ahead for detailed instructions. HOW TO ======= Start the virtual machine. You can use VMWare player which is a free download. Double click on sles.vmx (don't be distracted by the name, this is not a suse linux, it's a Cent OS, but I base the configuration on a suse vm). NOTE: Virtual machine is setup to use 768Mb of memory. I don't recommend downsizing this value, specially if using the DBConsole. Database uses less than that, so you can change it safetly to 512Mb, but the DBConsole won't probably start. After starting the VM you should get to a graphical login. Login as oracle and open a console. You have two ORACLE_HOMEs installed (run .bash_profile to choose one of them at any time from the oracle shell). First home (server on /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/db_1) is where the database is software is installed and DB1 instance was created. All oracle users (sys, system, sysman, dbsnmp) were created with the "oracle" password. Start all with: Listener: $ lsnrctl start Database: $ sqlplus /nolog SQL> conn / as sysdba SQL> startup; DB Console: $ emctl start dbconsole then open browser and go to https://localhost:5500/em You can login as sys/oracle using the SYSDBA role. Second home (client on /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2/client) has the Java Enterprise Manager console installed. This is a client/server tool to admin the database (works for previous releases too). From 11g this tool is no longer provided, but since it's very popular as of today, I'm installing it here. Start it with $ oemapp dbconsole (just type oemapp to see all products available). Listener only listen on localhost (127.0.0.1). To access the database from your network you'll have to make sure that VMWare networking is working properly. By default it's configured as "Bridged networking" (see vmware docs for details) and inside you see the network card as eth0, configure with DHCP. Once you can ping the box you can modify the listener.ora file and add the new IP to listen to, and restart it. DBConsole configuration to listen on that IP can be a bit tricky (try setting the iP on the ORACLE_HOSTNAME env var and then reconfigure with emca -reconfig dbconsole db). You can also access it with SSH port fowarding if you know how to do it. Changelog ========= Version 0.2 * Upgraded soft to 10.2.0.4 (db too) * DB Console working. * Linking of soft now works becouse of install of libstdc++.so.5 * Better "documentation" with torrent. Version 0.1 * First release: Vmware image with CentOS 5, xfce4, and oracle 10.2.0.3 (server and client). DB1 already created. * Known bug: dbconsole not working properly. * Posted on http://thepiratebay.se/tor/4039509/Oracle_10.2_in_vmware_image Help ==== You can post questions on the comments, althought I don't see them so often, but maybe somebody else can help you. If you need oracle support, you can search the web for help or you can have professional support from us by an email on the comments (good prices, senior dbas).

Pretty neat! I'd use this if only I had a more capable machine.
(Taking an Oracle course, but don't want the hassle of installing everything on my own computer.)

Excellent UL. Saved me tons of time.
I cannot connect to the Oracle instance from my desktop. Pinging the server IP works fine. TNSPing with the entry from the workstation tnsnames.ora does not. You mention changing something in the listener.ora file to allow remote connections. Can you please elaborate?

ChiGuy1234 (2008-05-30)

Ok, just answered my own question. Open listner.ora, and change the localhost to the DNS name of the server.
Thanks again for the UL

MD5 (VMWare-CentOS-Oracle.zip) = 4fc98b153aa3d75431bc21ecc0109e8a
In case you have problems with the zip file you can use this MD5 to verify it's integrity.

Hi there !
What am I doing wrong ?
Here is the screen shot of my problem

thorlin (2009-03-08)

I have a problem when starting up the database, I get an error ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info.
I can't find the files control01.ctl or any other .ctl file.
Please help!!

daemoncoder (2009-03-18)

7-Zip will unzip this
WinRar thinks its corrupt

aerotux (2009-05-25)

thorlin, probably the /u02 filesystem did not mount correctly. That's where the database files are located.
Regards,
Jose.

Chrriis (2013-01-16)

It works great but I have a problem with passwords.
I tried: emca -config all db
and I use "oracle" as a password for "SYS", "DBSNMP" and "SYSMAN". The problem is that it says the password is invalid for SYSMAN. Is it using a different password?
And thanks for the UL!
