Portal installation memory requirements
For new Portal installations, the minimum server memory requirement is 32 GB. Oracle database requires a minimum of 24 GB of memory. Portal installations will fail if sufficient memory resources are not available on the Portal server.
The Portal Installation software checks the following resources:
Total physical memory (physical + virtual) must be greater than 24 GB, otherwise Oracle will fail to start. Add more physical memory to the Portal server.
Total temporary file system (tmpfs) memory must be 24 GB or greater, otherwise Oracle will fail to start. Increase the size of tmpfs, typically in /etc/fstab.
Shared memory (kernel.shmmax parameter) must be 12 GB or greater, otherwise Oracle will fail to start. Increase the value of the shmmax parameter, typically in /etc/sysctl.conf. After increasing the value for the shmmax parameter, execute: sysctl -p.
