Procedure
Set Up Kernel Parameters
Following the advice in 3.2.1 Kernel Parameter Requirements for Oracle Management Service , I made the following changes to /etc/sysctl.conf :
sudo su - cat >>/etc/sysctl.conf <<DONE net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 11000 65500 kernel.shmmax = 4294967295 DONE
The server was then rebooted to ensure that the parameters changes were permanent.
Update System Limits
Following the advice given in 6.3 Prerequisites for Installing an Enterprise Manager System , /etc/security/limits.conf was updated with the following lines:
# ------------------------------------------------------------ # Limits for OEM 12.1.0.4 # ------------------------------------------------------------ oracle soft nofile 4096 oracle hard nofile 16384 oracle soft nproc 4096 oracle hard nproc 13312
