ORA-27102 in SUSE Linux 10.1 (64 bit)

Hi all,
We are migrating our Sun solaris OS to SUSE Linux 10.1 64 bit and database is oracle 9.2.0.6
In sun solaris server we are having 8GB physical memory but when are allocating 4gb to oracle memory, we are getting error at the time of nomount stage
ORA-27102: out of memoryThe following parameter have been set at a OS level

SCN scheme 2but i have crosschecked the same in oracle metalink 151496.1
and i got to know that
The error is reported by Oracle during allocation of the SGA and will happen
in cases where the kernel parameter SHMMAX/SHM_MAX is not set high enough.
The SHMMAX kernel parameter decides the maximum size of a shared memory segment
that can be allocated in the system. Since Oracle implements SGA using shared
memory, this parameter should be set appropriately. The value of the SHMMAX
kernel parameter should be higher than the maximum of SGA sizes of the Oracle
instances used in the server. In cases where the SHMMAX is smaller than the SGA
size, Oracle tries to fit the entire SGA into a single shared memory segment,
which will fail, and you will see the warning message in the alert.log.
The recommended value for this parameter is 4294967295 (4 GB), or the size of
physical memory, or half the size of physical memory, depending on platform.
Setting the SHMMAX to recommended value in the kernel parameter configuration
file and rebooting the server will get rid of the warning messages. See the
platform specific Oracle installation guide for detailed information on how to
modify the SHMMAX/SHM_MAX kernel parameter.but i had also set the value half of physical memory i.e 4gb but still i am getting the same error

  • Linux ORA-27102 out of memory

    A few days ago, some processes could not log in and got error message
    ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-27102: out of memory
    Linux-x86_64 Error: 12: Cannot allocate memory
    After some time, the problem was suddenly gone. We had such issues already in the past.
    Is there a way to get/monitor actual memory usage ( a)what Oracle thinks it uses and b)what OS thinks Oracle uses)?
    Tools like ps and top seam to show shared memory incorrectly and RAM used may be completely wrong!? We currently only use 30G (memory_target) on a server having 72G. We intended to increase memory_target some time ago but did not implement the change due to ORA-27102 coming up from time.

    Thanks for you reply. We may consider lock_sga=true (events like "latch: shared pool" do actually come up). The referenced thread had the problem during startup though. The problem occurred in our DB while the system was running - but maybe swapping/paging occurred exactly during that time!?

  • 10g XE: ORA-27102: out of memory, Linux Error: 28: No space left on device

    Hi,
    I just installed oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm on a virtual CentOS box. After I run "/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure", only listener is running, not the instance itself and $ORACLE_HOME/config/log/CloneRmanRestore.log says
    ORA-27102: out of memory
    Linux Error: 28: No space left on device
    According to installation requirements (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm) I checked
    RAM and swap:

    So it all looks to be OK.
    Any ideas what can be wrong?
    Thanks,

    Unfortunately the wmem/rmem params can't be changed, as I learned it's a limitation of the virtual hosting, Virtuozzo. Anyway they are "just" for network setting, not for RAM.Yes - but worthy of noting once you run into your next problem. :-)

    Couldn't be the problem that I really don't have enough disk space? Only 1.9 GB free.It's unlikely.
    I suspect that the SHMMAX setting needs to be increased to 1/2 physical RAM, as described in the doc I referenced.
    I suspect the installer is looking at the physical RAM and guessing the target SGA size based on that. It would therefore assume, for DB creation, that it should crank the SGA to around 700MB (1GB max, leave some for PGA, but use some SGA because of SHared Server for APEX)

    Please let me know for any other details.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, first, let's set aside the issue of hugepages for a moment. (Personally, IMHO, if you're doing manual memory mangement, and you're not using hugepages, you're doing it wrong.)
    Anyhow, looking at your SHM parameters:
    kernel.shmall = 2097152
    kernel.shmmax = 4294967295
    kernel.shmmni = 4096
    Let's take those in reverse order:
    1.) shmmni - This is the max number of shared memory segments you can have on your system, regardless of the size of each segment.
    2.) shmmax - Contrary to popular belief, this is NOT the max amount of shared memory you can allocate system wide! This is the max size, in bytes of a single shared memory segment. You currently have it set to 4GB-1. This is probably fine. Even if you wanted an SGA larger than 4GB, having shmmax set to this wouldn't hurt you. Oracle would simply allocate multiple shared memory segments, until it had allocated enough memory for the SGA. There's really no harm there, unless this parameter is set really low, causing a huge number of tiny shared memory segments to be allocated.
    3.) shmall - This is the real shared memory segment limit. This number is the total amount of shared memory you're permitted to allocate, system wide, expressed in pages. Pagesize here is the native OS pagesize, which is 4096 bytes, so, this is 2097152 * 4096 = 8589934592, or, 8GB. So, 8GB is the maximum amount of memory that can currnetly be allocated to shared memory, on your machine.
    So, having said all that, you haven't mentioned how many, if any, other Oracle databases are running on the server or their sizes. Secondly, we have no idea what memory sizing parameters you have set on the database that you're trying to create, that's getting the error.
    So, if you can provide more details, in terms of how many other databases are already on this server, and their SGA sizes, and the parameters you've chosen for the database that's failing to create, perhaps we can help more.
    Finally, if you're not using SGA_TARGET or MEMORY_TARGET, you really need to take the time to configure hugepages. Particularly if you've got a server that has as much memory as you do, and you're planning to have non-trivially sized SGA (10s of GB), then you really want to configure hugepages.
    Hope that helps,

  • Urgent: Plugin for Apache on SuSE Linux

    I am trying to install weblogic Plug-In for Apache 1.3.22 on SuSE linux. I installed
    apache, got the mod_wl.so from weblogic6.1/lib/linux folder. No problems in installing.
    It added
    'LoadModule weblogic_module libexec/mod_wl.so'
    I noticed that it did not add
    'AddModule mod_weblogic.c'.
    Anyway I tried running ./apachectl configtest and I get follwing error message:
    Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_wl.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_wl.so:
    ELF file data encoding not big-endian
    I added the line 'AddModule mod_weblogic.c', but I still get the same error. What
    is going on. Please help immediately. This is extremely urgent.

    Hi
    You can directly update configuration files, and at least restart the listnener.
    %ORACLE_HOME%\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
    (HOST = 1st_host_Physical_name)
    %ORACLE_HOME%\NETWORK\ADMIN\sqlnet.ora

    Also make sure that if instance parameter "local_listener" is set it is using physical hostname.

    SHMMAX is settings for max size of shared memory segment.

  • Database is very slow in oracle 9i with Suse Linux

    Hello All,
    We are using Suse linux and installed Oracle 9i on it. Our ERP product is running on this database. It is very slow. But linux configuration seems Ok. Oracle's performance is very slow. But The same thing is working fast in oracle 8.1.6 and 8.1.7. Is there any special linux configuration parameters should we consider for this or we have to do something in init.ora file?. I added the size of the JAVA_POOL_SIZE, SHARED_POOL_SIZE and LARGE_POOL_SIZE to 300 MB each.
    Thanks in advance and expecting your reply.
    with regards,
    sivababu

    Which version of SuSE Linux would possibly help here. I'm using version 7.3 Pro and it is only 10 minutes slower than my installation on XP Pro (the script is 16 pages long and takes 8,000,000 records and converts them into 30,000 records of useful information-takes 20 minutes in XP, 30 minutes in SuSE 7.3 on a personal computer). I used the orarun9i script and followed the directions for re-compiling the genclntsh from the SuSE installations online.

    kernel.shmall = 2097152This could be "it". This is system wide total, in pages. What is your page size?
    There might be other parameters that need increasing as you add instances. Check Oracle and linux documentation.

  • Windows 64-Bit Oracle DBCA creating new Instance ORA-27102: out of memory

    Wondering has anyone encountered this?
    We are running Oracle 10 R2 running on Windows Server 2003 ( This database is on a 64-bit Platform)
    Memory capacity is 16 GB on the server.
    We are using DBCA to streamline db creation of the new “EDR” DB instance – here are a few different attempts we’ve done:
    (all have failed )
    FYI - during this installation we’ve monitored the memory allocation/usage of the Windows Server and there
    was about 13-14 GB Free
    The existing instance takes up less than 4GB of space.
    We tried following:
    1. Allocating 8GB of Memory to new EDR Instance without shutting down other Oracle Instance.
    2. Allocating 8GB of Memory to new EDR Instance and shutting down other Oracle Instance
    3. Rebooted Server keeping other oracle instance shutdown.
    4. After Reboot Allocated 8GB to new EDR Instance
    5. Attempted allocating less memory 2GB to new EDR instance
    6. Early this morning we also tried omitting backup scheduling as part of configuration for DBCA
    for that instance.
    Each time we received error in DBCA GUI during DB Creation at 2% completion
    ORA-27102: out of memory

    After much effort it was discovered it was a setting during the installation of a parameter which caused this error. Using the TEMPLATE to create a new instance, you can setup parameters
    LOCK_SGA = TRUE
    causes this error. In addition if in our situation, even if we did not use the "template" created a barebones DB instance. Once the parameter is updated in SQL*Plus it will cause the datbase to be in a in operable state.
    You can start it up with a PFILE to fix it, In windows it required modifying the registry to FORCE the PFILE to load, by running on the commandline to use the PFILE it failed.
    Hope this helps someone in the future..
    ON WINDOWS DONT USE
    LOCK_SGA = TRUE
    It may work fine for Unix/LINUX OS? But in our current config it had problems.

  • How to automatically startup Oracle on SUSE Linux

    I have Oracle 11g installed on a server running SUSE Linux 11. I followed the official Oracle instructions to try to set up Oracle for automatic startup.
    My /etc/oratab file contains the following:
    sidname:/opt/oracle/product/11gR2/db:Y
    I created a /etc/init.d/dbora file, which contains the following:
    #! /bin/sh  -x
    # Change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the correct Oracle home
    # directory for your installation.
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11gR2/db
    # Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the
    # oracle owner at your site.
    ORACLE=oracle
    PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    HOST=`hostname`
    PLATFORM=`uname`
    export ORACLE_HOME PATH
    if [ ! "$2" = "ORA_DB" ] ; then
       if [ "$PLATFORM" = "HP-UX" ] ; then
          remsh $HOST -l $ORACLE -n "$0 $1 ORA_DB"
          exit
       else
          rsh $HOST -l $ORACLE  $0 $1 ORA_DB
          if [ "$PLATFORM" = "Linux" ] ; then
              touch /var/lock/subsys/dbora
          fi
          exit
       fi
    fi
    case $1 in
    'start')
            $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME &
    'stop')
            $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME &
            echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
            exit
    esac
    exit
    Then I ran the following commands:
    chgrp dba /etc/init.d/dbora
    chmod 750 /etc/init.d/dbora
    ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K01dbora
    ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
    ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
    shutdown -r now
    After restarting, Oracle was not running:
    server:~ # ps -fea | grep ora
    root      2681  2563  0 21:18 ?        00:00:00 hald-addon-storage: no polling on /dev/fd0 because it is explicitly disabled
    root      2688  2563  0 21:18 ?        00:00:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sr0 (every 2 sec)
    root      4491  4333  0 21:19 pts/1    00:00:00 grep ora
    server:~ # ps -fea | grep lsnr
    root      4493  4333  0 21:19 pts/1    00:00:00 grep lsnr
    Oracle runs fine after I start the instance (by logging into sqlplus as "sys as sysdba" and issuing the "startup" command) and listener. But it won't start up automatically after restarting the server. Why is that?

    I got it working.  I had to change the dbora file to look like this:
    #! /bin/sh  -x
    # Change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the correct Oracle home
    # directory for your installation.
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11gR2/db
    # Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the
    # oracle owner at your site.
    ORACLE=oracle
    PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    export ORACLE_HOME PATH
    touch /var/lock/subsys/dbora
    case $1 in
    'start')
            su - $ORACLE $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME &
    'stop')
            su - $ORACLE $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME &
            echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
            exit
    esac
    exit
    Then I had to delete the listener.log and startup.log files in $ORACLE_HOME because they were incorrectly owned by root.
