Note: This command displays the processor type. Verify that the

processor architecture matches the Oracle software release to install. If

you do not see the expected output, then you cannot install the

software on this system.

IMPORTANT:

■ Oracle recommends that you take multiple values for the available

RAM and swap space before finalizing a value. This is because the

available RAM and swap space keep changing depending on the

user interactions with the computer.

■ Contact your operating system vendor for swap space allocation

guidance for your server. The vendor guidelines supersede the

swap space requirements listed in this guide.

Note: This command displays the processor type. Verify that the

processor architecture matches the Oracle software release to install. If
