RHEL Tuner for Oracle

Updated -

This app generates a script that sets the tuning parameter in the operating system, which improves Oracle’s performance.

The generated script configures:

  • Memory settings in /etc/sysctl.conf
  • Huge Pages
  • Limits settings in /etc/security/limits.conf
  • Shared Memory
  • Semaphores
  • Open file descriptors
  • Disabling transparent hugepages (only recommended for RHEL 6)
  • I/O scheduler

After running the script, ensure that the Oracle database is configured to use Huge Pages.

NOTE: This script should not be considered an authoritative source about configuring Red Hat Enterprise LInux for use with Oracle products. The authoritative source of information is in the Oracle Installation Guide or the Oracle OS Tuning Guide for the appropriate version of Oracle. These documents are available on the Oracle Metalink site.
