HDD Formatting in Linux

-

Before you start your partitioning process make sure the disk you are going to partition is un-mounted.


Step #1 : Partition the new disk using fdisk command

[root@oraapps ~]# fdisk -l | grep '^Disk'
Disk /dev/hdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
To partition the disk - /dev/sda, enter
[root@oraapps ~]# fdisk /dev/sda
The basic fdisk commands you need are:
  • m - print help
  • p - print the partition table
  • n - create a new partition
  • d - delete a partition
  • q - quit without saving changes
  • w - write the new partition table and exit

Step#2 : Format the new disk using mkfs.ext3 command
[root@oraapps ~]#mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1

 

Step#3 : Mount the new disk using mount command

First create a mount point /disk1 and use mount command to mount /dev/sdb1, enter:

[root@oraapps ~]# mkdir /disk1
[root@oraapps ~]# mount /dev/sda1 /disk1

REP-3000: Internal error starting Oracle Toolkit

REP-3000 Issue is very common in Oracle Apps environments. If this issue persists, concurrent programs will complete with error code(Whose output is in PDF format). Generally this affects the OPP operations. I've faced this issue in both Linux and Unix platforms. The reason for this issue is common on both the platforms. Improper setting of the DISPLAY variable is the reason for this issue. In my environment, I recently faced this issue in EBS 11i Instance which runs on RHEL-5.11. Below are the detailed step by step process I followed to overcome this issue. When submitted 'Active Users' report it completed with error. When checked the log file found the below issue. Here it is understood, the issue is due to improper DISPLAY variable setting. So I start to work on setting the DISPLAY variable properly. In my server, display variable is set to value "localhost:10.0". Now I need to check whether this value is proper and can open xclock and windows using this Displa...

In my environment we are having EBS(12.2.5) running with 12.1.0.2 database. One day in our DEV Instance  Front-End is not opening and faced the below error. So I followed the below steps as a solution and it worked. First, generate the JAR files Next, reload the generated jar files to the respective database  Now compile the APPS schema to reduce the count of Invalid objects. Once everything completed, you can clear your browser cache and try to login to the application., but normally the above steps will be accompanied by clearing the middle tier cache. So I gave the below steps to clear the middle tier cache from backend. To clear the cache, follow the below steps. Stop the application services Navigate to $OA_HTML/cabo/images/cache Take a backup of contents of the folder cache and then clear all the contents inside that cache folder Navigate to $OA_HTML/cabo/styles/cache Take a backup of contents of the folder ca...
