Additional kernel parameter settings configuration is required on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server systems.

1. Enter the following command to enable the system to read the /etc/sysctl.conf file when it restarts:

   # /sbin/chkconfig boot.sysctl on

2. Enter the GID of the oinstall group as the value for the parameter /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group.

   For example, where the oinstall group GID is 501:

   # echo 501 > /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group

   Use vi to add the following text to /etc/sysctl.conf, and enable the boot.sysctl script to run on system restart:

   vm.hugetlb_shm_group=501

   Note:

   Only one group can be defined as the vm.hugetlb_shm_group.
