Hello All,

Since last 3-4 days,I am facing below error while installing Oracle 12c Database. I attached error screenshot. I have performed below sequence of steps.

1) yum install oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall -y
2) vi /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf
# Changed this
* soft nproc 1024
# To this
* - nproc 16384
3) vi /etc/selinux/config
Change "SELINUX=permissive"
4) setenforce Permissive
5) service iptables stop
6) chkconfig iptables off
7) mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/db_1
8) chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
9) chmod -R 775 /u01
10) Reboot
After performing all this steps I rebooted and this error came during boot time and stuck on this.

Please help me out to solve this.

Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

The log shows a normal progression so I would focus on the guest and what you have altered for the resolution to the issue. This however is out of the scope for us and you will need to ask Oracle for help. I would try to boot the guest in recovery and see if undoing what you have done will allow it to actually boot and then check your steps carefully.

Thanks for the reply Perryg.

I have performed a few steps and listed in my post. Could you please look at it and let me know if i've executed something which not mean to execute.

Not sure but I would check your step number (2) since I have never done that step and change the selinux to disabled instead of permissive.

Hi Perryg,

I think you're talking about step-3. Actually I set it to permissive.

Hi Perryg,

If it is not correct then what is the correct value for it ?

Thanks

Since this has nothing to do with VirtualBox you will need to ask the guests OS forum and or the Oracle folks what needs to be input.
