I have recently installed Oracle 9.2.0 on a current Gentoo system (I had
to use gcc-2.95 for one of the links, and two other programs (ctx/lib)
did not link .. but they are not needed).
Oracle (and other vendor software packages required that certain
turning parameters be set... as in:
echo 100 32000 100 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
echo 100000000 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
echo 4096 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni
echo 2097152 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
echo 65536 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
Now currently have have this in my init.d/dbora script. But this
strikes me as wrong. What if I had another package with its own
requirements which I wanted run on the same server.
So, I look around for a "standard location or script" for setting kernel
tuning parameters during system startup, where this kind of information
should really be set. That what one systems requirement would not
overwrite anothers.
I think we are talking about /etc/sysctl.conf. I presume the above
values would be stored as follows in this file:
kernel.sem = 100 32000 100 100
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmax = 100000000
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 2097152
fs.file-max = 65536
Comments anyone?
