So one of my OL7.4 x86-64 VMs running EM13 and other Oraclishness started
swapping heavily, and I was generously granted more RAM (and CPU!). But the
VM never came back up on reboot, complaining of "Failed to start Login
Service", among other things. I eventually tracked it down to a file in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d containing "/opt/oracle/12.2.0/lib". Once I removed that
file and did an "ldconfig" (in rescue mode), the server was able to start
normally.
While this particular system change was not explicitly documented (by a
particular solo DBA who shall remain nameless), I suspect it's from something
similar to the instructions on
https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/linux-x86-64-downloads.html
(but for v12.2, obviously).
I am hoping to find time to experiment with VirtualBox to duplicate this
issue. But as we're planning on moving all of our Production to OL7 soon,
has anyone run into this before? Can that change co-exist with dbus or
whoever is preventing system startup?
