Question Regarding Oracle 11g Upgrade Prerequisite Check

[debbie_delaurier]

We currently run solais 10 containers.

We have a global zone and several sparse root zones.

The oracle prerequisite check is reporting the following warnings:

OS kernel parameter "tcp_smallest_anon_port" plus 3 other warnings for tcp_largest_anon_port and for the udp ports as well

This requires that we use ndd to change the values for these ports in the global zone.

These changes will affect all of the sparse root zones and not just the one we are upgrading Oracle in.

Will this pose any problems or is safe to make these port changes in the global zone.

Thanks,

Deb

Thanks, for the response.

However, I would like to know if I can make this change to these parameters in the global zone without it causing any issues for the other 5 sparse root zones. 

I am only upgrading one out of the 6 sparse root zones on this server to oracle 11.2g.
