6 Content Specific to Linux Containers
The following content is specific to the Linux Container certification on Linux:
Preinstallation Requirements
Installation, Configuration, and Upgrade Issues
Other Known Issues
6.1 Preinstallation Requirements
The preinstallation requirements include the following:
Operating System Requirements for Linux Containers
Patch Requirements
Enabling Real-Time Processes for Linux Containers
6.1.1 Operating System Requirements for Linux Containers
Linux Container version lxc-1.0.7-2.0.10
is supported on Oracle Linux 7 and Oracle Linux 6. Ensure that you have the following minimum kernel version installed on your system:
Oracle Linux 7 | 3.8.13-98.el7uek.x86_64 or later |
Oracle Linux 6 | 3.8.13-98.el6uek.x86_64 or later |
6.1.2 Patch Requirements
You must install patch 20920711 prior to enabling RT for Linux Containers.
6.1.3 Enabling Real-Time Processes for Linux Containers
To enable Real-Time [RT] processes on Linux Containers before you start an Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation, create the container with the RT option for Oracle Real Application Clusters [Oracle RAC] and Oracle Clusterware support:
lxc-create -n node_name -t oracle -B [brtfs|ext4] -- --release=6.latest --privileged=rt
For example:
lxc-create -n node3-lxc1 -t oracle -B btrfs -- --release=6.latest --privileged=rt
This command example creates one container named node3-lxc1
, and uses the brtfs
file system to host the container.
Note:
If you have specified the Linux Container setting file, then ensure that you review each setting line in the file.
6.2 Installation, Configuration, and Upgrade Issues
Review the following section for information about issues that affect Linux Containers:
Hard Limit Value Error in the Prerequisite Screen During the Installation
Shared Memory File System Verification Fails on Linux Containers
Kernel Warnings in the Prerequisite Check Screen During the Installation
6.2.1 Hard Limit Value Error in the Prerequisite Screen During the Installation
During a 12.1.0.2 installation, a hard limit value error occurs in the prerequisite screen.
Workaround:
You must not fix the hard limit value using the Fix and Check Again button. Instead, manually add the hard limit value 65536
to the entry etc/security/limits.conf
on the host, log out and log in again, and then proceed with the installation.
This may help to overcome any issue when the user tries to connect to the Linux container.
Install_User_Name hard nofile 65536
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 20683209.
6.2.2 Shared Memory File System Verification Fails on Linux Containers
During a 12.1.0.2 Grid installation, the /dev/shm
entry is not found in the /etc/fstab
file of a Linux Container and the verification for the shared memory file system fails.
Workaround:
Check if the correct shared
memory file system is mounted on the Linux Container host. Ensure that the /dev/shm
mount area is of type tmpfs
and is mounted with the following options:
Set the
rw
andexecute
permissions on it.Do not set
noexec
ornosuid
on it.
Use the following procedure to check the shared memory file system:
Check the current mount settings on the Linux Container host. For example:
$ more /etc/fstab |grep "tmpfs" tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
Here is another example:
$ df -h /dev/shm Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 29G 228K 29G 1% /dev/shm
If necessary, change the mount settings on the Linux Container host. For example, log in as
root
, open the/etc/fstab
file with a text editor, and modify thetmpfs
line:tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,exec 0 0
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 22116467.
6.2.3 Kernel Warnings in the Prerequisite Check Screen During the Installation
During a 12.1.0.2 installation, kernel warnings appear in the prerequisite check screen due to missing /proc
parameter
files in the Linux container.
Workaround:
Add the missing /proc
parameter files and set the recommended values in the host and proceed with the installation. The following /proc
parameter files may only be set on the host and not for individual containers:
/proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
Setting the values on the host according to Oracle recommended values automatically sets these values for all the Linux containers as well.
Note:
Oracle Universal Installer may continue to show warnings despite setting the values on the host.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 20683257.
6.3 Other Known Issues
The following section contains information about issues related to Linux Containers:
The oclumon dumpnodeview Displays Negative Value for IFree Field
DBCA Displays Incorrect Memory of the Host Server
12.1.0.2 Oracle Restart Deinstallation Issue with the CRSDECONFIG Plugin on Oracle Linux 7 Container
DBCA Unable to Identify File System Paths
6.3.1 The oclumon dumpnodeview Displays Negative Value for IFree Field
In the Linux Containers environment, the inode value is not exported. As a result, the oclumon dumpnodeview
command displays a negative value for the IFree [number of free inodes] field in its output.
Workaround:
None
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 21150692.
6.3.2 DBCA Displays Incorrect Memory of the Host Server
When creating a database on Linux Container, Database Configuration Assistant [DBCA] incorrectly shows the available memory of the host server instead of the Linux Container on the Specify Configuration Options page. When you choose to allocate the percentage of memory based on the value shown, the database creation may fail in the case where total consumable memory for that Linux Container is less than the allocated memory.
Workaround:
You must allocate physical memory for the database according to the configuration of the Linux Container system.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 21546793.
6.3.3 12.1.0.2 Oracle Restart Deinstallation Issue with the CRSDECONFIG Plugin on Oracle Linux 7 Container
After successful deinstallation of 12.1.0.2 Oracle Restart, some of the files and directories are not removed.
Workaround:
After deinstalling 12.1.0.2 Oracle Restart, remove the following files and directories:
rm -r Oracle_Restart_Home rm -r /OPT/ORCLFMAP rm -r /etc/init.d/ohasd rm -r /etc/init.d/ init.ohasd rm -r /etc/systemd/system/oracle-ohasd.service
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 20566514.
6.3.4 DBCA Unable to Identify File System Paths
When creating a database on Linux Containers, Database Configuration Assistant [DBCA] cannot identify the host owned file system paths in a Linux Container environment. This results in an error on the Storage Locations screen.
Workaround:
The storage location for the data file and flash recovery area must be owned by the Linux Container file system.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bugs 21890441 and 22011207.
7 Linking Applications with Oracle Client Libraries
You must use the dynamic Oracle client libraries to link the client code on Linux. Do not link the static Oracle client libraries.

Rarely, Oracle ACFS and Oracle ADVM devices in /dev/asm
are set to the root
group ID while the udev
rules file, /etc/udev/rules.d/55-usm.rules
, specifies a different group ID. As a result, Oracle ACFS and Oracle ADVM may not mount after system restart.
Workaround:
Edit the /etc/rc.local
file and add the following entry:
/sbin/start_udev
Oracle ACFS and Oracle ADVM devices are created with the expected settings according to the udev
rules file.
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 13653789.
8.3.2 Issues in Creating Oracle ACFS Volume
Oracle Automatic Storage Management Configuration Assistant cannot be used to create Oracle ACFS volume with stripe column 1.
Workaround:
