Rlim_fd_max Kernel Parameter on Solaris 9

I am trying to install Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 on Solaris 9. The installation errors out on the "Select Configuration Options" screen with the following error:
"Oracle Application Server 10g Web Cache requires the Kernel Parameter rlim_fd_max to be set to a value of 65536 or higher. Please set rlim_fd_max to 65536 or higher, reboot the machine and restart the installation".
I checked the value of the set rlim_fd_max Kernel Parameter prior to starting the install and it is set to 65536. Does anyone know why I'm getting this error? Thanks in advance!

I was able to get an answer by opening a SR with Metalink. The problem was that even though the rlim_fd_max default on Solaris 9 is 65536, it must be in the /etc/system file. Must be the installer looks at the file to determine that it is set correctly. So, adding set rlim_fd_max=65536 and set rlim_fd_cur=1024 to the /etc/system file fixed the problem.

  • Oracle 10g on solaris 10 : kernel parameter warning

    I am installing oracle 10g on Solaris 10.
    I have a warning on kernel parameter missing (shminfo_shmmax for example) during the system check.
    I understood that with the 10 version of solaris these parameters are replaced by ressources control and I have checked them. They are correctly setted.
    Need I do something before continue the install to release the warning or can I bypass this issue and continue the install as I have no warning ?
    Thanks for your answers.
    Sorry for my english.

    You are right. Since Solaris 10 kernel parameters settings in /etc/system is obsolete and some parameters are deprecated.
    The steps how to configure required parameters you can find in my paper (step #1.): http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora10gR2_solaris.html
    I bypass this issue and continue the install as I have no warning You can safely bypass this issue during installation process but you should set these parameters after installation.

  • Kernel parameter for zones

    but the value is already set to same value

  • What is the resource control corresponding to each kernel parameter

    Hi
    I am trying to prepare (i.e. tune) a Solaris 10 instance for an Oracle 10g install using a Solaris 10 project.
    I am new to using Solaris 10 project resource controls so I might get some of this totally wrong.
    I know all of the "old" kernel parameter names: what each represents and its' required value and I know some of the corresponding resource controls but not all of them.
    That is I do not know the resource control corresponding to each and all of the kernel parameters.
    e.g. I know:
    semsys:seminfo_semmsl == process.max-sem-nsems == The maximum number of sempahores that can be in one semaphore set
    shmsys:shminfo_shmmax == project.max-shm-memory == The maximum size(in bytes) of a single shared memory segment
    shmsys:shminfo_shmmni == project.max-shm-ids == The number of shared memory identifiers
    But I do not know, for example, what resource control corresponds to:
    semsys:seminfo_semmns == The number of semaphores in the system
    Is there a list somewhere of the resource control corresponding to each of the kernel parameters ?
    I know I can set some kernel parameters in /etc/system but that should only be used for system - wide kernel parameters, right ?
    I know there are project, process, task and zone classes of resource controls.
    Can a resource control of any and all of these types be set in a project ?
    Are zone resource controls equivalent to system-wide resource controls ?
    Are there corresponding resource controls to all kernel parameters e.g. such as noexec_user_stack ?
    I have set noexec_user_stack in /etc/system.
    And finally - just to be sure - using a project makes the resource control values permanent, right ?
    Thanks
    Brett.

  • SHMMAX kernel parameter

    Hello -
    I'm running Oracle 10g R2 on Solaris 10. Does anyone know how to set the shmmax kernel parameter? According to Oracle documention, all kernel parms have been deprecated except for shmmax, but I believe this is stored and set in a different location on Solaris 10.
    Thanks

    A lot of kernel parameters, including SHMMAX, were replaced in Solaris 10 by resource controls.

  • Last kernel patch for Solaris 10 x86 screwed up my kernel

    Hi,
    The last kernel patch for Solaris 10 x86 (sorry I can�t remember the patch id, but the revision is 30), available from Sun Update Manager screwed up my system.
    The system is still booting but in maintenance mode: smf can't start because of repository corrupted. Given instructions to restore the repository does not work because / filesystem is mounted read-only...
    As I am not a solaris expert, I will reinstall it from CD. I hope I won't loose the filesystem.
    I was used to blindly trust Sun solaris patches, that was a mistake.
    Laurent.

    i dont know why but still i do get default log in into the single mode
    after startup
    Requesting maintenance mode
    (See /lib/svc/share/README for aditional information. )
    Root password for system maintenance (control-d to bypass):i did removed the patch installed before so now

  • Determining OS Kernel parameter settings in HP ITANIUM

    Hi
    Can any one help me out to determine the depedant OS kernel parameters settings in HP IA-64 for Oracle database 10.2.0.4 after increasing the processes parameter value in the database level .
    As after increasing the processes parameter to 10000 , we are getting n number of issues related to one or the other OS kernel parameter , so we want to take one single downtime and settle all the issues.
    Regards,

    Hi
    Acutally we already increased the processes parameter to 10000 by modifying nproc value to 30000 , now we are receiving issues respect to database as below and inturn there is problem in getting connected to the database giving ora-12502 error

  • Installing OCS 10g on RHEL 3 (Upd 4) failing kernel parameter checks

    Hi all,
    I am preparing for upgrading my OCS 9.0.4.2 to 10g. While running the Universal Installer it fails within the kernel parameter checks. It complains about two parameters that cannot find in /proc/sys/kernel. The two parameters are: hardnofiles and softnofiles. I don't have any idea what those could be, anyone out there who can tell me what this means?
    Thanks,

    check out /etc/security/limits.conf you should add values to the bottom of that file as shown in the install guide.
    This is what I have in mine;
    * soft nproc 2047
    * hard nproc 16384
    * soft nofile 1024
    * hard nofile 65536

  • Kernel Parameter Update

    Best Friends
    Recently added new hardware to a production server, before I had:
    06 cpu
    24 Gb Mem
    Now you have:
    08 cpu
    32Gb Mem
    After that, evaluate SGA Delk increase server area was very small, the area now has 8GB SGA
    The parameters to increase in this activity increased SGA were:
                                                         Before      Now
    sga_max_size                               03Gb      08Gb
    db_cache_size                              02Gb      04Gb
    SHARED_POOL_SIZE                    816Mb    2.4Gb
    shared_pool_reserved_size          84Mb      245 Mb
    What I'm not clear is the following,:
    After increasing CPU and memory on the server and then adjust these parameters of the SGA, I have to adjust or increase any kernel parameter value??

    Hi Friends,
    That's the point, I know the parameters needed depending on the SAP installation should have some defaults.
    But here, after increasing CPU and memory, there is also some connection to increase certain parameters at the kernel level?
    I do not know.
    So my consuls, if I increase some kernel parameters.
    Thank you for your attention

  • Could not update  the kernel parameter when oracle 10g  Installation.

    Hi,
    I tried to update ip_local_port_range in sysctl.conf file.
    vi /etc/sysctl.conf
    net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=1024 65000
    After changing the value i executed following command,
    sysctl -p
    Error : Unknown error 22 setting key 'net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range'
    Please help

    You didn't specify if you are on a linux based OS, it looks like you are, but it would be so kind on your side if you clearly specify the OS version and which DB version you are planning to install.
    When I perform installations of DB10gR2 on OEL4/OEL5 or RHEL4/RHEL5 i issue this commands:
    echo net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
    Once the kernel parameter have been set, the kernel must be re-read with the /sbin/sysctl -p command.
