When you install the provisioning software remote agent (RA), be sure to set the RA to run as root. Most of the Oracle installation runs as user oracle; however, some scripts that are generated during the installation process need to run as root.
For Linux systems, the following semaphore and shared memory settings apply:
kernel.shmmax = 1073741824 kernel.shmall = 536870912 kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 32768 65000 |
These values are set during installation. You do not have to set them.
The actual value for kernel.shmmax differs, depending on the amount of memory in the target host. This value adjusts itself dynamically when the OraSpt plan runs.
For Solaris systems, you need to create semaphore and shared memory settings similar to those mentioned above for Linux systems. You should set these values before you install the Oracle database software. See the Oracle documentation for details.
To run Oracle 9i on Solaris SPARC systems, download three Solaris patches from the SunSolve web site and install them on your system:
112785-45
112963-17
113096-03
The patch list might have changed since the release of this document. Check the Oracle web site and SunSolve for the latest patches that apply to Oracle on Solaris systems.
