OAS 4.0.7 on SUSE Linux 6.1 gets very slow or hangs

Question

Hallo out there,
we installed OAS 407 on a SUSE Linux 6.1 system with ORACLE
Server 8.0.5.0.0. After long time solving installation problems,
we are now able to start OAS via the OAS-Manager html page.
And we are able to launch a simple PL/SQL-application, which
produces the output of a system table. Now, the thing is, that we
can start this application once or twice or maybe a few times
more but then the system hangs or gets very slow, so that only a
hard reboot of the server machine works.
We configured the NR_TASKS parameter in tasks.h to get ulimit to
512 for the user processes. System seemed to work better then,
but maybe only a little bit better.
We have also got problems with domain-names and node-names, which
sometimes are just machinename, then machinename.domainname, then
again machinename.badister.(none) .
If there is anyone out there who has got the same problems or
solved them, please tell me.

Answer 1

I have wasted a lot of time trying to get OAS 4.0.7 to run with
a 2.2 kernel... it doesn't work, even after you've fixed all the
problems like to ps command for example, the listeners hang. I
now have it working on a 2.0 kernel, which is reasonably stable,
although I have to do a reboot every few days!
