1- Unzip software using unzip command.
2- The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>

192.168.0.181 ol6-112.localdomain ol6-112
3- Add or amend the following lines in the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file.
fs.suid_dumpable = 1
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
fs.file-max = 6815744
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.core.rmem_default=262144
net.core.rmem_max=4194304
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_max=1048586
The current values can be tested using the following command.
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep <param-name>
Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters.
/sbin/sysctl -p
4- Add the following lines to the "/etc/security/limits.conf" file.
oracle soft nproc 16384
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 4096
oracle hard nofile 65536
