2 Hosts File Example:

The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server. [root@sand01 ~]# more /etc/hosts
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name> 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.56.101 sand01 sand01.personal.wf.com

3 Manual Setup Example:

Sysctl [root@sand01 ~]# sysctl -p
fs.file-max = 6815744
Add or amend the following lines in the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file. kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
kernel.shmmni = 4096
fs.file-max = 6815744 kernel.shmall = 1073741824
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128 kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104
kernel.shmmni = 4096 kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
kernel.shmall = 1073741824 net.core.rmem_default = 262144
kernel.shmmax = 4398046511104 net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.rmem_default = 262144 net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304 net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
net.core.wmem_default = 262144 net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 2
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576 net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 2
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576 fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500

Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters.

/sbin/sysctl -p

7 Additional Setup Example:

The following steps must be performed, whether you did the manual or automatic setup.
Set the password for the "oracle" user. [root@sand01 ~]# passwd oracle
Changing password for user oracle.
passwd oracle New password:
BAD PASSWORD: The password is shorter than 8 characters
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

8a Set secure Linux to permissive by editing the "/etc/selinux/config" file, making sure [root@sand01 ~]# getenforce
the SELINUX flag is set as follows. Disabled
[root@sand01 ~]# more /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=permissive
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=permissive
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected.
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
