How to Add Swap Memory using a file

Posted by Sriram Sanka on December 22, 2018


 

Swap space in Linux is used when the amount of physical memory (RAM) is full. If the system needs more memory resources and the RAM is full, inactive pages in memory are moved to the swap space.

Swap space can be a dedicated swap partition (recommended), a swap file, or a combination of swap partitions and swap files.

We can Create Swap file and make use of it as described below .

Step 1: Create a file with required size

To create the file we need to use dd command as root user .

 

I am adding 64G of Swap to my server so the count is 67108864 (1024 * 1024 * 64) 

dd if=/dev/zero of=/u03/extra_swap bs=1024 count=67108864

 

Step 2: Change the file Permission using

chmod 0600 /u03/extra_swap

Step 3 : Set Up linux Swap Area.

[root@idc ~]# mkswap /u03/extra_swap


Step 4 :Execute the Following To enable the swap file immediately, You can Check the Added swap using free -g Command .

swapon /u03/extra_swap


Step 5: Add an Entry in /etc/fstab to Make this Swap file Enabled at boot Time

/u03/extra_swap swap swap defaults 0 0

We can use swapon or /proc/swap to Get the Swap info.

Step 2:

Download assembly.sh (UNIX) or assemble_OSX.sh(for Mac) from Oracle Support Doc ID 2254565.1  Or  You can Use UNZIP Tools like 7ZIP.exe.  Generate Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.00 to Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.18 

Step 3:

UnZip All the OVA part Files to Make it as a Single OVA file.  i.e. Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova

 

Unix/Linux :

cat Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.00 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.01 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.02 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.03 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.04 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.05 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.06 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.07 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.08 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.09 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.10 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.11 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.12 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.13 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.14 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.15 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.16 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.17 \

Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova.18 >  Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.6_VISION_INSTALL.ova

For Windows, we can use Type Instead of “cat”

Step 4:

Import Appliance as below.

Apache – No space left on device / Failed to create proxy Mutex

Posted by Sriram Sanka on August 10, 2018


A Big Thanks to “https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=110

Restarting  Apache in one of the Servers failed with “No Space left on the Device ” Error and we have enough space in all available partitions.

This is something to deal with Server Kernel semaphores.

“On Linux, A semaphore is a System V IPC object that is used to control utilization of a particular process. Refer https://www.tldp.org/LDP/tlk/ipc/ipc.html

Semaphores are a shareable resource that take on a non-negative integer value. They are manipulated by the P (wait) and V (signal) functions, which decrement and increment the semaphore, respectively. When a process needs a resource, a “wait” is issued and the semaphore is decremented. When the semaphore contains a value of zero, the resources are not available and the calling process spins or blocks (as appropriate) until resources are available. When a process releases a resource controlled by a semaphore, it increments the semaphore and the waiting processes are notified.”

The system does n`t have actual resource available to serve the request, so either we need to configure the Kernel Semaphores or clear the Old entries to get it back.

kernel.sem = SEMMSL SEMMNS SEMOPM SEMMNI

SEMMSL      maximum number of semaphores per array
SEMMNS     maximum semaphores system-wide
SEMOPM     maximum operations per semop call
SEMMNI      maximum arrays

[root@r12 ~]# cat /etc/sysctl.conf |grep kernel.sem
kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142
[root@r12 ~]#

[root@r12 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem
256 32000 100 142
[root@r12 ~]#

[root@r12 ~]# ipcs -l | awk ‘FNR>=7 && FNR<=15’

—— Semaphore Limits ——–
max number of arrays = 142
max semaphores per array = 256
max semaphores system wide = 32000
max ops per semop call = 100
semaphore max value = 32767

—— Messages: Limits ——–
[root@r12 ~]#

[root@r12 ~]# ipcs -ls

—— Semaphore Limits ——–
max number of arrays = 142
max semaphores per array = 256
max semaphores system wide = 32000
max ops per semop call = 100
semaphore max value = 32767

To Clear ,  we can execute the following

ipcs | grep apache | awk ‘{print $2}’ > sem.txt
for i in `cat sem.txt`; do { ipcrm -s $i; }; done;

For Automating the removal of apache semaphores with ipcs/ipcrm, Please refer https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=572
