Oracle Database Enterprise 19c fails to start with error: ORA-00800: soft external error, arguments: [Set Priority Failed], [VKTM]
Issue
-
Oracle Database Enterprise 19c is not able to start and shows the message:
ORA-00800: soft external error, arguments: [Set Priority Failed], [VKTM] -
Oracle provides a workaround to tune the kernel parameter cpu.rt_runtime_us quantum, like in the e.g:
echo 950000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/user.slice/cpu.rt_runtime_us -
The workaround fixed the issue, but when server is rebooted the parameter is lost.
-
Any attempts to make the parameter permanent does not work, and ends with the same error
ORA-00800
