Enabling and Disabling Database feature after installation using chopt tool

When you install Oracle Database, some options are enabled and others are disabled. To enable or disable a particular database feature for an Oracle home, shut down the database and use the chopt tool.

The chopt tool is a command-line utility that is located in the directory ORACLE_HOME/bin. It uses the following syntax, where db_option is the option whose status you want to modify:

chopt [enable | disable] db_option

Refer :

http://bit.ly/p1CPxR

Example : Disable Data mining options

[oracle@netbackuptest bin]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin
[oracle@netbackuptest bin]$ chopt disable dm
Writing to /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/install/disable_dm.log…
%s_unixOSDMakePath% -f /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk dm_off
%s_unixOSDMakePath% -f /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk ioracle[oracle@netbackuptest bin]$

mount Linux sharing folder on another linux machine using nfs

I have five Linux machine, I want to create one folder on one Linux machine and share this folder on remaining Linux machine? how do we do?

Use NFS. I don’t want explain more about NFS. Here I am going to show how do we do?

If you want to share one folder of linux (1) machine,

[root@siebelfs ~]# mkdir /test

Create test file

[root@siebelfs test]# vi test.conf
azar

and then Save it.

You need to check it out Whether portmap and nfs running or not

[root@siebelfs ~]#  chkconfig --list portmap
portmap         0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
[root@siebelfs ~]# chkconfig portmap on
[root@siebelfs ~]#  chkconfig --list portmap
portmap         0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
[root@siebelfs ~]# ps ax | grep portmap
 3228 ?        Ss     0:00 portmap
 4491 pts/1    R+     0:00 grep portmap

For NFS

[root@siebelfs ~]# chkconfig --list nfs
nfs             0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off
[root@siebelfs ~]# chkconfig nfs on
[root@siebelfs ~]# chkconfig --list nfs
nfs             0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
And then, restart portmap and nfs service
[root@siebelfs ~]# service portmap restart
Stopping portmap:                                          [  OK  ]
Starting portmap:                                          [  OK  ]
[root@siebelfs ~]# service nfs restart
Shutting down NFS mountd:                                  [FAILED]
Shutting down NFS daemon:                                  [FAILED]
Shutting down NFS quotas:                                  [FAILED]
Shutting down NFS services:                                [FAILED]
Starting NFS services:                                     [  OK  ]
Starting NFS quotas:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS daemon:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS mountd:                                       [  OK  ]
[root@siebelfs ~]# ps ax | grep nfs
 4664 ?        S<     0:00 [nfsd4]
 4666 ?        S      0:00 [nfsd]
 4667 ?        S      0:00 [nfsd]
 4668 ?        S      0:00 [nfsd]
 4669 ?        S      0:00 [nfsd]
 4670 ?        S      0:00 [nfsd]
 4671 ?        S      0:00 [nfsd]
 4672 ?        S      0:00 [nfsd]
 4673 ?        S      0:00 [nfsd]
 4691 pts/1    R+     0:00 grep nfs
[root@siebelfs ~]# chkconfig --list nfs
nfs             0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
[root@siebelfs ~]# ps ax | grep mountd
 4676 ?        Ss     0:00 rpc.mountd
 4694 pts/1    R+     0:00 grep mountd
[root@siebelfs ~]# chkconfig --list nfs
nfs             0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
[root@siebelfs ~]# ps ax | grep portmap
 4585 ?        Ss     0:00 portmap
 4699 pts/1    R+     0:00 grep portmap

Now We need to add shared folder directory in /etc/exports file like below , Here I have used four linux machine, If I missed any ipaddress of client linux machine
you can not able to access this folder.

[root@siebelfs ~]# vi /etc/exports
/test ipaddress(rw)
/test ipaddress(rw)
/test ipaddress(rw)
/test ipaddress(rw)
and then save it.
Again restart nfs service only.
[root@siebelfs ~]# service nfs restart
Shutting down NFS mountd:                                  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS daemon:                                  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS quotas:                                  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS services:                                [  OK  ]
Starting NFS services:                                     [  OK  ]
Starting NFS quotas:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS daemon:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS mountd:                                       [  OK  ]

Now Go to another linux machine (client).
configure portmap and nfs like above. but don’t add any line in /etc/exports file.(in case if you want to
share this machine folder for other client machine , you can add line like above).
here 10.1.x.xx — ipaddress of shared folder machine.

[root@siebelas ~]# mkdir /test
[root@siebelas ~]# mount -t nfs -o rw 10.1.X.XX:/test /test
[root@siebelas ~]# cd /test
[root@siebelas test]# ls
test.conf

Oracle Real Application Clusters, or Oracle RAC for short (formerly known as Oracle Parallel Server), is a clustering technology that provides the ability to scale performance and improve server availability for Oracle data center environments. Oracle RAC not only serves as a part of the Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) for disaster recovery purposes, but it’s also used for other purposes such as scaling up and out for performance by adding additional nodes to an Oracle data center environment.

HA means High availability is a discipline within database technology that provides a solution to protect against data loss and against downtime, which is costly to mission-critical database systems.
