Setting Shell Limits for the oracle User

Oracle recommends setting limits on the number of processes and open files each Linux account
may use. To make these changes, cut and paste the following commands as root:

#vi /etc/security/limits.conf
oracle soft nproc 2047

oracle hard nproc 16384

oracle soft nofile 1024

oracle hard nofile 65536

esc :wq!

Shared memory and semaphores are two important resources for an Oracle instance on Unix. An
instance cannot start if it is unable to allocate what it needs.

Shared memory is exactly that - a memory region that can shared between different processes.
Oracle uses shared memory for implementing the SGA, which needs to be visible to all database
sessions.

Semaphores can be thought of as flags (hence their name, semaphores). They are either on or off. A
process can turn on the flag or turn it off. If the flag is already on, processes who try to turn on the
flag will sleep until the flag is off. Upon awakening, the process will reattempt to turn the flag on,
possibly suceeding or possibly sleeping again. Such behaviour allows semaphores to be used in
implementing a post-wait driver - a system where processes can wait for events (i.e. wait on turning
on a semphore) and post events (i.e. turning of a semaphore). This mechanism is used by Oracle to
maintain concurrency control over the SGA, since it is writeable by all processes attached

SHMMAX= max value of shared memory segment = .5 * size of physical memory

SHMMIN= min size of shared memory segment=1

SHMMNI= max number of shared memory identifiers on system = 100

SHMSEG= max number of shared memory segments per process = 10

Note:Max Sga that can be created by the one segment model is SHMMAX*SHMSEG

Oracle just needs to allocate a number of semaphores equal to the processes parameter in
"init.ora".

SEMMSL= # of semaphores in a semaphore set

SEMMNI= the maximum # of semaphores sets in the system

SEMMNS= the number of semaphores in the system.

SEMOPM= max number of operations per semop call = 100

SEMVMX = semaphore max value = 32767

When an Oracle instance is started, all required semaphores will be allocated. Semaphores are
allocated in sets. Since each oracle process* requires a semaphore, the number that is allocated is
equal to the value of the init.ora parameter PROCESSES. The total # of semaphores required is the
sum of all your instance's PROCESSES. You can allocate all of your semaphores in one or more
semaphore sets. If SEMMSL=PROCESSES, then only one semaphore set is required. The
maximum # of semaphores that can be allocated will be the lesser of (SEMMSL*SEMMNI) or
SEMMNS.If SEMMSL is not equal to PROCESSES, be sure that the total # of semaphores required
(sum of PROCESSES) does not exceed the maximum (SEMMSL*SEMMNI, SEMMNS). For
example, if SEMMSL=25 and SEMMNI=10, total # of semaphores required (sum of PROCESSES)
must not exceed 250 (10 semaphore sets * 25 semaphores/set).
