I will install oracle 11g R2 on centOS 6.4 :>

kernel.shmmni and others

All parameters have been edit except kernel.sem,kernel.shmmni

the error message shown down :>

error: 'kernel.sem' must be of the form name=value

Quote multiple values (example):

Code:

sysctl -w kernel.sem="111 222 333 444 555"

and don't forget to add them to /etc/sysct.conf.

thanks for reply, but it's the same problem !!

sysctrl -w kernel.sem="250 32000 100 128"

What does '/sbin/sysctl kernel' return?

Ummm. might not be relevent, but kernel.sem can only take four values in the list.

You're right, unless the key magically (re-)appears, it isn't ;-p

That's not the output the command returns.
Please read the question better.

I'm sorry too because the only conclusion I can draw is your system is severely fscked up. Even as unprivileged user I can do 'sysctl kernel' and get 97 entries listed on a CentOS 6.3 host.

Are you running a kernel newer than 2.6.21 (or have you got CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL disabled?)

Yes, the kernel version 2.6.32-358.e16.x86_64 , but how I know if CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL disabled or not ??

It likely is as the entire "kernel" parameter set is unavailable for some reason.

You can look in the configuration file and see what "CONFIG_SYSCTL" values you have, as well as the other values. My list has:

Code:

CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL=y

CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE_SYSCTL=y

CONFIG_SYSCTL=y

# CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL is not set

CONFIG_SYSCTL_EXCEPTION_TRACE=y

CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL=y

Yours may something different as I'm running 3.9 currently.
