Oracle 9iR2 on Red Hat 8.0/Kernel settings

Hi,

I'm to install Oracle9i R2 on RH linux soon as well. I have read the install guide about the kernel settings but they seem to only mention the correct settings for a single instance on LINUX. I have not had the privilege before to work on systems I had to set the kernel parameters (not needed on AIX) so I could use a little help on this.

RH linux 8.0
Oracle 9i R2
2 instances on one machine (about 25 concurrent users per db) buffer cache approx. 300MB (based on the old databases that is migrating plus some extra for upgrade)
Shared pool 25-35Mb (based on the old databases that is migrating plus some extra for upgrade)

What would my kernel settings be looking like, or could anybody point me to ocumentation that explains this???

TIA Jack

installed O92010 on rh 8.0. went fine so far until I tried to connect via "oemapp console" - whatever connectdescripter I chose it resulted in the error "connection string not properly terminated". same connect descriptors in the CLI worked fine - made them available in the "oemapp console" and got the error message.
didn't investigate any further into this - experienced it twice on two different machines. changed back to rh7.2 and things were fine again.

don't forget to make the kernel settings for memory - otherwise the database installation will fail - maybe you have to correct the entry in the ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk
file for INSO_LINK and add $(LINKLDLIBS) at the end. installing the patch to make 9.2.0.2.0 out of it may require some tweaking. or if this is a new installation just drop the typical database and create a new one after applying the patch to the other files. be careful with oid - experienced you cannot install it after applying the patch.

in general the same hints and points as on SunOS apply on RH 7.2/7.3/8.0.

have a lot of fun

thats all I can contribute.

I installed 9iR2 on both my laptop and a desktop, both running RH 8.0.

Pretty straightforward, except for the usual failure in linking intermedia. I would have thought they would fix that by now.

Jared:

I put together some notes when I installed 9.2.0 on RH7.3. I think that RH8 is probably similar.
