- Kernel Settings
Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to configure your kernel settings to the minimum values shown below. After editing the file, use the “sysctl -p” command or restart the system to invoke the new settings
kernel.shmmax = 68719476736
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 6815744

net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
fs.aio-max-nr = 1048576
Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it.
Open the /etc/security/limits.conf file and change the existing values for “hard” and “soft” parameters as follows. Restart the system after making changes.
* soft nofile 4096
* hard nproc 16384
* soft nproc 2047
* hard stack 16384
* soft stack 10240

Create the Staging area and dump the EBS 12.2.0 software
Create users for installation
groupadd oinstall
useradd oravis -g dba -G oinstall
useradd applvis -g dba -G oinstall
Select the directory for installation and give sufficient permissions for a successful installation
mkdir ebs122
chown -R applvis:dba ebs122
chmod -R 777 ebs122
Go to the staging area and build a stage for 12.2.0 as shown below
Start the installation as “root” user
Login to the application as SYSADMIN user…
