Re: LINUX Kernel Parameters

Thanks.

It appears that the default values given in the installation guide for LINUX are fine and would work for multiple instances (I plan 4). Since the multiple instances will be on set of development/QA servers and not production (prod will be RAC), I think I will be ok with default values.

It also appears that the kernel parameter on LINUX to watch out for is SHMMAX. Norman Dunbar <Norman.Dunbar_at_lfs.co.uk> wrote in message news:<E2F6A70FE45242488C865C3BC1245DA703CE82CC_at_lnewton.leeds.lfs.co.uk>...
