Hi Kamran,
I am a newbie in oracle. I have installed VMWare workstation 7 on windows and my guest OS is Linux ES3. I have installed Oracle 10g Rel2 on the guest OS. Most of the things r working f9, except the RMAN. It hangs up when i enter RMAN at command prompt. Please suggest how to proceed. DO i need to check Bash Profile or some other area.
Thank You
Kamran Agayev A. said
Hi Mohammad
When you change PATH environment variable and add $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory to it, and when you issue rman target / command, system looks for rman executable in all directories which were registered at the PATH environement variable. There’s an rman executable (non-Oracle rman) at the folder /usr/X11R6/bin and it comes before $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory at the PATH environement variable, so system runs that file.
So you need to define $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory at the beginning of PATH environement variable and run rman target / command as follows
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
rman target /
Please let me know if you have solved this issue
Good Luck

hi kamran,
I cleard (java)SCJP,SCWCD certifications.now i want to oracle certification.can you tell me.which certification exam is suitable for me(sql queries). and how can i prepare step by step clearly.
thank you.
Narsing said
Hi Kamran,
Iam having 3years of experience in app testing,Now i made my mind to work on a better technology and completed RHCE/OCP 9i but i dnt have any realtime knowledge. Can you tell me how to make my subject strong so that i can put 2years of experience as a oracle Dba.
Thank You…
Kamran Agayev A. said
Dear Narsing
I have only one suggestion: “You have to test everything you know. You have practice everything you learn” After making a lot of practicec and being OCP you can start as a junior DBA in any company you’re invited. Why I say junior because you haven’t real time practice. And after working as a junior DBA in any company whicih uses Oracle database, you’ll be assigned a lot of tasks and thus improve yourself
Good Luck!

Hi Kamran,
How are you , Thank you very much for helping me out. Iam having a doubt .
What are the main advantages of creating DATABASE manully . And hw to allocate SGA to a particular user.
Regards,
Narsing
Kamran Agayev A. said
Dear Narsing
There might some circumstances where you might not be able to use GUI to create a required database. In such situations, the manual creation might be useful
According to the question on allocation SGA to particular user, I’d suggest you to use profiles (PRIVATE_SGA)

Narsing said
Hi Kamran,
Hello Big Bro, The information which you had provided is really good but its very high level for me to understand i think unless any realtime experience i cannot understand.
Can you suggest me how to practice real time at home on network iam having 2 systems. The reason why iam asking this is because lot of my friends are good at concepts but when it comes to implementation stage the cannot explain why it is like that.
Kamran Agayev A. said
Dear Narsing. I thinkg it’s not so high level as you have mentioned. It’s just step by step explanations. I can’t make it more easy 🙂
Let me know what problem you face. You can ask your question on OTN forums or drop me an e-mail
Narsing said
Hi Kamran,
Hey Bro How are you i did not mean that i did not understand. Ok Let me be perfect actually as in my first post i told that iam having 3 years of exp in TESTING and as i dnt have any realtime exp on Oracle DBA iam not getting any calls so i planned to put an experience of 2years as a junior DBA and try but as you know that having knowledge and working in real time environment will be total different. And the question which i asked was based on this. In 1 of the interview they asked me
How u manage sga,
What was your role as a junior dba,
Why you need pga,
What is database cloning,
Do u have knowledge on RAC,
How many databases did you maintained ,
On which database you worked i.e dev or testing,
what kind of errors u faced with respect to developers.
So Brother what exactly i want to know from you is the above mentioned points how can i practice at home with the help of two systems .
And bro People like you make life easy for people like us. And by browsing your blog iam building confidence day by day. I learnt many things.And iam very thankful to YOU.

Bcoz of some circumstances i need to change my field to Purchasing, now i would like to join as an DBA. I want to refresh all my past scripts of SQL and Oracle. I have installed Oracle10g in my Windows Vista. Please help me to refresh all the scripts from the begining. If you send any tutorial guide or video it’ll be much useful for me and appreciatable for you.

Dear Mr, Kamran
I need your help. I have a question to you please i will be very thankful to you if you assist me how to do it.
My Question is: How i can connect two linux virtual machines in vmware?
I have install vmware workstation on Windows 7 operating system.
1) In VMware workstation i made 1st virtual machine of linux 4 and install oracle 11g on it with database ready.
2) In Vmware workstation i made 2nd virtual machine of linux 4 and install oracle 11g on it without database.
Now my question is i want to play with this two virtual machines as Client and Server.
1st virtual machine will act as a server
2nd virtual machine will act as a client
now i want to connect from client to my server database using two files i.e. listener.ora and tnsnames.ora.
I justed wanted to know how i can ping with these two linux machines. If you suggest me help with snapshots i will be very thankful to you.
i dont have two pc though i am working on my laptop someone has suggest me it can be possible in vmware workstation to communicate with client and server.
Please help me.
Best regards,
Aijaz Khan
Kamran Agayev A. said
Dear Aijaz
I’ve shown it in my “Performing Disaster Recovery with RMAN” tutorial
You can get it from the following link:
Just change network configuration of both vmware machines to “Host Only” and enable the network. Each machine will get automatically DHCP ip and you’ll be able to ping from one to another

What do you mean with installing sqlplus into putty?
You can install Oracle database and install putty to contact to that database

The reason I said that, is because I use sqlplus in putty through my school, however they give me a password, but it expires pretty soon, so I want to configure sqlplus in putty. How can I install oracle and putty to contact to a database.

Hi Kamaran,
I am migratig oracle 9i DB Schemas to Oracle 11g through exp/imp utilities (This is because of user need). There are two schemas have bigger size nearly 180G and 120G. If I used exp/imp utility then it will take minimum 3-4 full days to complete the activity. I will not get that much down time. Can you please suggest which utility I can used other than exp/imp to migrate those schema which will not take more than 4-5 hrs.
Thanks in advance and waiting for your precious suggestins.

Thanks Mr. Kamran,
Such a good technical stuff to learn. I’ve just step in to oracle clustering. Can u guide me to setup a RHEL 5 based (Cluster suite) cluster with oracle 11g r2 failover in active/passive mode. Where, I node will have the share san volumes mounted and DB running at a time while the passive node will live idle. In case of failure of primary node, the cluster resources (i.e. share san vols, virtual ip etc). will relocated to secondary node, and DB in primary node shutdown properly and then start on secondary node. After resolving the primary node issue, as soon as it get online all the services & resources again shifted to primary node accordingly.
Regards
Arunabh
