Oracle Pre Installation Requirement

Memory Requirements For Oracle Installation
----------------------------------------------------

The following are the memory requirements for installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2:

1.At least 1 GB of RAM
 
  To determine the RAM size, enter the following command:
  # grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
  If the size of the RAM is less than the required size, then you must install more memory before continuing.

2.Relationship between installed RAM and the configured swap space requirement:

Between 1 GB and 2 GB  - 1.5 times the size of RAM
Between 2 GB and 16 GB  - Equal to the size of RAM
More than 16 GB  - 16 GB

  To determine the size of the configured swap space, enter the following command:
  # grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo

If necessary, refer to the operating system documentation for information about how to configure additional swap space.
