The following sections list the kernel parameter requirements for each platform.
The systems must have at least the following recommended kernel parameters:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
semmsl = 250
semmns = 32000
semopm = 100
semmni = 128
shmmax = 2147483648
shmmni = 4096
shmall = 2097152
shmmin = 1
shmseg = 10
filemax = 65536
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0
semmsl = 250
semmsl2 = 250
semmns = 32000
semopm = 100
semmni = 128
shmmax = 536870912

rmem_default = 262144
rmem_max = 262144

To check your kernel parameter settings, run the commands listed in Table B-1.
Table B-1 Execute Commands to Check Kernel parameter Settings

Footnote 1 This command displays the value of the four semaphore parameters in the order listed.
To change your kernel parameter settings, use any text editor to create or edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to add or modify the necessary entries. You may need to restart your system after changing kernel parameters.
Note:
Include lines only for the kernel parameter values that you want to change. For the semaphore parameters (kernel.sem), you must specify all four values in order.
If the current value of any of your system's kernel parameters is higher than the recommended value, keep your current value.
For example, your /etc/sysctl.conf file may look like this:
kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmax = 536870912 kernel.shmmni = 4096 kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 fs.file-max = 65536 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000 rmem_default = 262144 rmem_max = 262144 wmem_default = 262144 wmem_max = 262144
By specifying the values in the /etc/sysctl.conf file, they persist when you restart the system.
On SUSE systems only, enter the following command to ensure that the system reads the /etc/sysctl.conf file when it restarts:
# /sbin/chkconfig boot.sysctl on
The system must have at least the following recommended kernel parameters:
Solaris 8 and 9
Verify that the following kernel parameters have been set to a equal to or greater than the value specified in Table B-2.

On Solaris 10, verify that the kernel parameters shown in Table B-3 are set to values equal to or greater than the recommended values. Table B-3 also lists the resource controls that replace the /etc/system file for a specific kernel parameter.
Table B-3 Recommended Kernel Parameter Values for Solaris 10

To view the current values of the kernel parameters, enter the following commands:
# grep noexec_user_stack/etc/system # /usr/sbin/sysdef | grep SEM # /usr/sbin/sysdef | grep SHM
To change any of the current values, follow these steps:
Create a backup copy of the /etc/system file, by using a command similar to the following:
# cp /etc/system/etc/system.orig
Open the /etc/system file in any text editor, and if required, add lines similar to the following (edit the lines if the file already contains them):
set noexec_user_stack=1 set semsys:seminfo_semmini=100 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256 set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4292967295 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100 set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
Enter the following command to restart the system
# /usr/sbin/reboot
After you have restarted the system, log in to the system and switch to the root user.
To view the current values of the resource control, enter the following commands:
#id -p //to verify the project ID uid = 0 (Root) gid = 0 (Root) projid = 1 (user.root) #prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project user.root #prctl -n project.max=sem-ids -i project user.root
To change any of the current values, follow these steps:
To modify the value of max-shm-memory to 6GB:
#prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 6gb -r -i project user.root
To modify the value of max-sem-ids to 256:
#prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -v 256 -r -i project user.root
Verify that the kernel parameters listed in Table B-4 are set to the values greater than or equal to the recommended value shown. The procedure following Table B-4 describes how to verify and set the values.

semmap
If the current value of any parameter is higher than the value listed in this table, do not change the value for that parameter.
To view the current value of these kernel parameters, and to change them, if necessary, follow these steps:
Set the DISPLAY environment variable to specify the display of the local system. This is an optional step.
Bourne, Bash or Korn shell:
$ DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY
C Shell
$ setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
Start System Administration Manager (SAM)
# /usr/sbin/sam
Choose the Kernel Configuration area and the Configurable Parameters area.
Check the value or formula specified for each of these parameters and if necessary, modify that value or formula. Refer to the SAM Online Help for more details.
Exit from SAM.
If you have modified the value for any of the parameters, you must restart your system.
# /sbin/shutdown -r now
After you have restarted the system, log in and switch to the root user if necessary.
On AIX systems, you do not need to configure the kernel parameters. However, Oracle recommends that you set shell limits and system configuration parameters as described in this section.
Verify that the shell limits shown in Table B-5 are set to the values shown. The procedure following the table describes how to verify and set the values.
| Shell Limit (as shown in smit) | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
|
Soft FILE size |
-1 (Unlimited) |
|
Soft CPU size |
-1 (Unlimited) |
|
Soft DATA segment |
-1 (Unlimited) |
|
Soft STACK size |
-1 (Unlimited) |
Do the following to view and change the values that are currently specified for these shell limits:
Execute the following command:
# smit chuser
In the User Name field, specify the user name of the Oracle software owner, for example oracle.
Scroll down the list and verify whether the value for the soft limits is -1. If not, edit the existing value as recommended in Table B-5.
When you have finished making changes, press F10 to exit.
Ensure the maximum number of processes allowed per user is set to 2048 or higher. The following procedure describes how to verify and set the value.
To specify the system configuration parameters:
Execute the following command:
# smit chgsys
Ensure the value shown for Maximum Number of Processes allowed per user is greater than or equal to 2048. If not, edit the existing value.
When you have finished making changes, press F10 to exit.
