Command = /oracle/ora10gr2/bin/dbca has failed
INFO: Configuration assistant "Oracle Database Configuration Assistant" failed
*** Starting OUICA ***
Oracle Home set to /oracle/ora10gr2
Configuration directory is set to /oracle/ora10gr2/cfgtoollogs. All xml files under the directory will be processed
INFO: The "/oracle/ora10gr2/cfgtoollogs/configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled. This file may be used to run these configuration assistants outside of OUI. Note that you may have to update this script with passwords (if any) before executing the same.
SEVERE: OUI-25031:Some of the configuration assistants failed. It is strongly recommended that you retry the configuration assistants at this time. Not successfully running any "Recommended" assistants means your system will not be correctly configured.
1. Check the Details panel on the Configuration Assistant Screen to see the errors resulting in the failures.
2. Fix the errors causing these failures.
3. Select the failed assistants and click the 'Retry' button to retry them.
The error on the screen shows an ORA-27102 Out of Memory. This is confusing the machine has 8gb of memory and there is nothing running on it accept the install. My shmmax is set to 4180670464.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kim
