Oracle Identity Management (OID) 11g installation Issues on Linux
Last month I discussed 11g Identity Management (OID, DIP, OVD and OIF) installation here , today’s post covers issues encountered during 11g OID/OVD installation on Linux.
1. Set hard file and soft file limit to at-least 4096 for user installing 11g Identity Management (OID)
.
/etc/security/limits.conf
<os_user> hard nofile 4096
<os_user> soft nofile 4096
If O.S. user installing 11g Identity Management is “oracle” then add entry like below in /etc / security/ limits.conf
oracle hard nofile 4096
oracle soft nofile 4096
2. Database (Repository for IdM) should be minimum 10.2.0.4 (for 10g) or 11.1.0.6 (for 11g)
For complete database list click here
3. Database processes should be at-least 500 , if not change it like
SQL> alter system set processes=500 scope=both;
scope=both -> If you are using spfile .
modify init<sid>.ora -> if you are using pfile .
4. Unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL else Installation will fail at instance creation (during start of OPMN)
.
How to check if LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is set ?
echo $LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
How to unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL ?
unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
