3. Kernel Parameter Requirements
- For installing an OMS or a Management Agent on Unix operating systems (32-bit or 64-bit), set the
kernel.shmmax parameter to a value 1 byte less than 4 GB or 4294967295.
- Enter the below commands to view the current values of the kernel parameters,
# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep shmmax
This will display the maximum shared memory segment size.
- By specifying the value in the “/etc/sysctl.conf” file they persist when you restart the system. For
immediate effect of the changed parameters, restart the system or run below commad.
# sysctl -p
4. Configure OS Groups and User

- Creating the OSDBA Group for Database Installations
# /usr/sbin/groupadd dba
- Creating the Oracle Software Owner User
# /usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall -G dba,oper -c “Oracle Software Owner” oracle
Set the password of the oracle user:
# passwd oracle
5. Configure “/etc/hosts” file.
- Edit and add below entries in /etc/hosts file on RAC nodes.
# vi /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

6. Configure Shell Limits for Oracle User
- Update the resource limits in the “/etc/security/limits.conf” configuration file for the oracle user by
adding the following lines.
# vi /etc/security/limits.conf
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 4096

***Checking OEM Agent Status***
(path)/agent/agent_inst/bin/emctl status agent –details
***Stoping OEM Agent***
(path)/agent/agent_inst/bin/emctl stop agent –details
***Dealing with Jobs***
1. How to find the job_id:
connect sysman@poem
select job_id
from mgmt_job
where job_name = 'BACKUP_ODS_ARCH_2HRS'
and job_owner = 'SYSMAN';
2. How to stop running job:
connect sysman@poem
exec
mgmt_job_engine.stop_all_executions_with_id('459582F20C8B6AF4E0403E0ACECC4DCB',T
RUE);
commit;
3. How to delete the job:
connect sysman@poem
exec mgmt_job_engine.delete_job('BACKUP_ODS_ARCH_2HRS','SYSMAN');
commit;
***OEM PERFORMANCE***
1. Log into Weblogic -> servers -> EMGC_OMS1 -> Monitor Tab -> Thread Tab
2. Check to see if there are stucks thread on Weblogic
3. Check to see if there are stuck thread on the database by using AWR(SQL Developer 4.0
and up)
