Doing pre-installation check for Enterprise Manager Grid Control using Enterprise Manager Grid Control Quick Installation Guide for Linux x86 .
Not really sure about memory requirements. Going with 2Gb RAM.
Added an 8Gb drive as /dev/sdb. Formatted one (1) partition as ext3. Mounted as /u00. Updated /etc/fstab.
# fdisk /dev/sdb
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
# mkdir /u00
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /u00
# cat >>/etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1 /u00 defaults 1 3
Updated /etc/sysctl.conf:
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmmax = 1073741824
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 262144
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144
Changed the hostname via /etc/sysconfig/network.
Installed the sysstat package. Some of the packages listed have spelling errors!
