Oracle 11 database installation crashes Virtual Box Two

[greatme]

This isn't the same crash as the thread that I previously posted.
The Virtual Machine has one big Virtual hard drive which should have been big enough for both the operating system and the oracle database

Host Machine
Version of Virtual Box 4.3.6r91406
Host operating system Solaris 11.1
Host Hardware Dell Poweredge 1950 x86
Host memory 24571 Megabytes


Guest Additions; yes
Guest Operating System: Solaris 11.1
Guest Memory: 12 Gig
Guest Hard Drive: 70 Gig Virtual Hard drive
Note: if the oracle directories are on their own 25 GIg hard drive the crash does not occur.

When I try to install Oracle Database 11.02.03 on the Virtual Machine, The Virtual Machine stops during the Installation Phase with the following error
"Virtual Box -- Guru Mediation"
A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped.

This occurs fairly well along in the install process where the oracle database software is asking about Password Management.
I think the installation was at 90% complete

The log file seems incomplete - it stops at the point the guru meditation occurs, but doesn't include the error. This was the same in your previous thread.

Also, you still have not compressed the log file, you've simply wrapped them in an uncompressed container, continuing to post as fragments. This is very inconvenient for anyone thinking of helping you. Please withdraw these fragments and replace them with a single compressed zip file.

I tried compressing the whole file and it was too big at 208K to put on this message board. So I split it into three files and compressed them seperately.
This is the log file as it looked like when the Virtual Machine was in Guru Mediation. What should I do to included the error? Do you have a preferred method of compressing a file? I am used to gzip but am willing to try other utilities.

Here is the VBox.png file which goes with the logs

Code: Select all

Guru Meditation -2701 (VERR_VMM_RING0_ASSERTION)

IIRC, you should try setting the RAM to 8GB instead of 11GB and see if it helps.

If it does I would file a ticket at bugtracker

I set the ram at 8 Gig, and its now hanging during the install process ( as opposed to crashing ). I plan to let it run overnight to see if it eventually stops on its own.

I retried this with 9 Gigs of Ram, and oracle installed successfully. What is going on?
12000 MB -- Virtual Machine crashes
8096 MB -- The Installation gui hangs
9216 MB -- The Installation is successful

Re-read my post, especially about posting a ticket at bugtracker

[greatme]

I entered this into BugTracker as bug 12676.

[greatme]

THe fix recommended in the bug tracker was to run the following command for the Virtual Machine
VBoxManage setextradata VM_NAME "VBoxInternal/MM/CanUseLargerHeap" 1

I tried this and was then able to install Oracle 11.02.03 without problems. I put on the patches without problems, and the machine ran for three days without problems. At the end of the three days I had to turn the Virtual Machine off for another project.

Thanks for reporting back.
