EDIT: a new entry about this Exadata SL6-2 launch can be found here! During a session of Juan Loaiza with the lovely title “Oracle exadata: what’s new and what’s coming” suddenly following slide popped up. So it looks like this is really going to happen. In the session no exact timings were given, but I’m awaiting this system to play with. Basically I think this will be useful to migrate current solaris / sparc users to exadata. I’m a…
EDIT: a new entry about this Exadata SL6-2 launch can be found here! Yesterday while walking to Larry’s keynote on Oracle OpenWorld 2016, all people had to pass the engineered systems. Curious as I am, and fed by lots of rumors I wanted to have a look at them. And indeed, there was one “new” one standing. the nice thing is that you just can talk to the guys and this extremely friendly guy told me “this one is being announced…
It’s patching time again. So on one of our test systems we gave the july 2016 bundle a go. It’s a simple system, just a plain database 12.1.0.2 with the april bundle applied. No grid infrastructure, no asm, just a plain simple database system. The sequence is the same as always. Unzipping, conflict check, nothing new. In our case, no conflicts were found so the next step is opatch apply. All went good until a certain point the make command failed…
Look! I found a very nice video from Kiran Taylor ( @ktailorUK and his blog http://blog.puredba.co.uk/ ) about some tips for running TimesTen on exalytics. Check it out: https://community.oracle.com/docs/DOC-992645 As always, questions, remarks? find me on twitter @vanpupi
It all starts with creation of a database on a Database appliance which failed with the error

One of the things … is it due to running on the ODA or is it a general cluster issue? It was easy to verify as this customer had another ODA on which everything just works smoothly. So we started to compare the environments. One tiny little thing appeared to be different: the ACL. On a working ODA:

A while ago I was asked to implement a filesystem backup on a windows server. How hard could it be and basically it’s not too difficult. Only one minor thing is not too well documented and I would like to highlight this here. In this particular setup the service was running under the local system account. Personally I would like to see it under a local user account. In order to be able to perform a succesfull filesystem backup, we…
Sometimes it’s time to upgrade. So the I decided to add the oracle 12c thin client to my mac a couple of weeks ago. Yes I know, I was very happy with the oldy-but-goodie 10g version, but ok. The 12c instant client is very easy to install. I remember it took quite some time to install the 10g version, so happy about that. Unzipping the zipfiles, 2 symlinks and then a bit personal config in my .profile. So far so…
Well that’s it guys. I moved from tumblr ( http://vanpupi.tumblr.com ) to wordpress to have some more flexibility, mostly for the code-tags actually. We’ll see where it will bring us.
