Hello ,

I was asked to specify the kerenel parameters and our RAM size is - 32 Gb and the swap is - 8 Gb.

After a lot of Googling , I did specify as

kernel.shmall=2097152
kernel.shmmax=4294967296
kernel.shmmni=4096
kernel.sem=250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max=65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 262144
net.core.rmem_max = 262144
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144

I'd like to know if they are correct . Kindly guide me .

Regards,
Raj

Nobody can certify that. If there are "specific" standard values, Oracle would have made it mandatory.
Just gander into the Oracle doc.
There would be a recommended minimal values. In most of the cases, that will do.
If you will add more instances in future, and if you find issues with the current settings, you can always change the semaphore settings.
I would also invest some quality time in trying to understand those parameters and its values.

But my only doubt is that can we take those values into consideration for Oracle 10g.

And I've read that the SHMMAX is to be configured as .5 times the size of the physical memory .

please help me on this .
