Pre-requisites  check for Oracle Database 12c failing on configuration of kernel parameters. Since version 11gR2 oracle Installer will generate fix-up scripts for those parameters which can be fixed by running fix-up scripts.  Pre-requisite check failed for kernel parameter "project.max-shm-memory" . - Execute the fix-up script from root user and check fix-up result. The fix-up result is successful but if we check again the pre-requisites are failing on the same kernel parameter. In solaris 9/10 we need to reboot the server for kernel parameters to be effective.  In Solaris 11 exit the Installer, then open new session with oracle user with which Installing the database, start the Installer and here it should read the newly configured kernel parameter. So no reboot is required. Thanks for reading. regards, X A H E E R 

I was trying to add Oracle Solaris 11.2 Host in Oracle EM 12cR4. The OMS Server is Installed on Linux-64bit. There was no agent available to deploy it on the Solaris host. In this article will demonstrate how to install download and install the unavailable agent software on EM12c OMS Server in an offline mode. Login to EM12c console and navigate: Setup >> selfupdate >> Agent Software It will list down all available agent software's.  If the agent software is available then you need to download the required patch and apply it in a offline mode. Here for Solaris 11 agent software is available but not applied. - To apply this patch on OMS download the patch "18797137" from MOS and update it in the OMS software library using emcli command in offline mode. - Upload the patch to Server accessible to OMS user. - Login to "sysman" user using emcli command [oracle@oem12c sw_home]$ /u01/em12c_home/oms/bin/emcli login -username=sysman E

Introduction:                   Oracle Solaris 11 uses Image packaging system (IPS). Oracle Solaris 11 Image packaging system  (IPS) is available to be Installed online over  the network or can be Installed using a local repository without an Internet connection. Introduction of IPS simplifies the Installation of Package(s) and its dependencies.  Before IPS, patch and package management was a tedious task, system administrators has to manually check all the dependencies before Installation of a package. IPS also simplifies the life a System Administrators.                Oracle releases periodic updates of package(s)  for the repositories and these updates are generally available to the customers as Support Repository Update (SRU). Support Repositories are available to download for customers who have valid support ID contract for Oracle Solaris 11.These updates includes updates for existing packages on the system and can Introduce new packages with each SRU.
