3.5 Configuring Kernel Parameters
After updating the values of kernel parameters in the /etc/sysctl.conf file,
ensure that you either reboot the computer or run the sysctl -p command to
make the changes of the /etc/sysctl.conf file available in the active kernel
memory.
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.0, ensure that you set the following kernel
parameter:
disable_cap_mlock = 1
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, ensure that you set the
hugetlb_shm_group kernel parameter to the gid of the group used as the dba
group. For example, on a system using a group named dba with the following
entry in the /etc/group file:
dba:!:104:oracle
On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, ensure that you set the
hugetlb_shm_group kernel parameter to the GID of the group used as the dba
group. For example, on a system using a group named dba with the
dba:!:104:oracle entry in the /etc/group file, the hugetlb_shm_group kernel
parameter should be set to the following value:
hugetlb_shm_group = 104
