PURPOSE 
————–

This bulletin is produced to provide a central source for all the primary installation settings for the various mainstream unix platforms, e.g. IBM AIX, HP-UX, Oracle Solaris, Tru64, and Linux. 

Careful comparison of the Installation Guide and the applicable release note for an OS/Oracle version has been done to ensure that this bulletin provides the most complete source of data in hopes that it will save time for each researching analyst. 

Keeping the OS kernel current helps stabilize the system. Production systems should never run an out dated OS kernel version. As a best practice, Oracle recommends the OS kernel version be maintained to within 6 months of current. Please contact the OS vendor directly for more information, risk exposure, and patching recommendations. 

NOTE: Pre-compilers requirements are no longer addressed in this note, for a single source note 
that addresses Pre-compiler/Compiler requirements, please refer to: 
Note 43208.1 Certified Compilers

SCOPE & APPLICATION 
————————————-

This focus of this bulletin is on assisting the Oracle Unix installation community in resolving installation issues of the RDBMS. 
This bulletin places in one document all the pertinent information related to installations that has been extracted from three different documents (Installation Guides, Release Notes, and SRNs)

DISCLAIMER 
————

Whenever a contradiction arises between this document and My Oracle Support (MOS)-Certification, My Oracle Support (MOS)-Certification is the Certification authority. 
Users of this bulletin are obligated to provide real-time corrections/updates in the form of My Oracle Support (MOS) “Feedback” submissions to ensure the accuracy and up-to-date status of this bulletin.

PRE-INSTALLATION SCRIPTS 
————————————-

A decommissioned, non-supported script is still available to verify that the system has been configured correctly according to the 8.0.5 through 9.2 Installation Guides, please refer to the following My Oracle Support (MOS) Note for details: 
Note 189256.1 “UNIX: Script to Verify Installation Requirements for Oracle 8.0.5 to 9.2 versions of RDBMS”

The Remote Diagnostic Agent RDA (see Note 314422.1 for more info on RDA) has the capability to run a Pre-Installation check on several 10.1 and 10.2 Unix/Linux Platforms. 
Please refer to Note 250262.1 for specifics on how to run these Pre-Install scripts on your server.

OPatch FAQ 
————————————-

To apply one-off patches and Critical Patch Updates (CPUs) or Patch Set Update (PSU) on 9.2 and higer RDBMS versions you have to use the patching utility, OPatch. 
Oracle Support requests you always use the latest version before applying any patches to your server, to get the latest version,

AIX Kernel Settings

set AIXTHREAD_SCOPE=S in the environment: 
export AIXTHREAD_SCOPE=S

NOTE: This is only necessary on AIX5L. A change was introduced in AIX 6.1 which means that the variable does not need to be set. See section 5.5 (page 217) of theIBM AIX Version 6.1 Differences Guide

From Section 2.6 of the 11.2 Install Guide for AIX

2.5 Verifying UDP and TCP Kernel Parameters 

Use NDD to ensure that the kernel TCP/IP ephemeral port range is broad enough to provide enough ephemeral ports for the anticipated server workload. Ensure that the lower range is set to at least 9000 or higher, to avoid Well Known ports, and to avoid ports in the Registered Ports range commonly used by Oracle and other server ports. Set the port range high enough to avoid reserved ports for any applications you may intend to use. If the lower value of the range you have is greater than 9000, and the range is large enough for your anticipated workload, then you can ignore OUI warnings regarding the ephemeral port range. 

Use the following command to check your current range for ephemeral ports: 

# /usr/sbin/no -a | fgrep ephemeral 
tcp_ephemeral_low = 32768 
tcp_ephemeral_high = 65535 
udp_ephemeral_low = 32768 
udp_ephemeral_high = 65535 

In the preceding example, the TCP and UDP ephemeral ports are set to the default range (32768-65536). 

If you expect your workload to require a high number of ephemeral ports, such as high node counts or heavy use of Parallel Query, then update the UDP and TCP ephemeral port range to a broader range. For example: 

# /usr/sbin/no -p -o tcp_ephemeral_low=9000 -o tcp_ephemeral_high=65500 
# /usr/sbin/no -p -o udp_ephemeral_low=9000 -o udp_ephemeral_high=65500

Automatic Memory Management 
Starting with Oracle Database 11g, the Automatic Memory Management feature requires more shared memory (/dev/shm) and file descriptors. The shared memory should be sized to be at least the greater of MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and MEMORY_TARGET for each Oracle instance on the computer. To determine the amount of shared memory available, enter the following command: # df -k /dev/shm/

Note: MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and MEMORY_TARGET cannot be used when LOCK_SGA is enabled or with huge pages on Linux

If RAM = 1024MB to 2048Mb 
then 1.5 times RAM 
elseif RAM > 2048MB and < 8192MB
