This system does not meet the minimum requirements for swap space.

Christy H.Jun 28 2016 — edited Jun 29 2016

Hello,

I recently added one dedicated server that has 2 SSD hard drives with RAID1 + 64 GB RAM.

I am trying to install Oracle XE 11g2 on it but when I start its installation message appears:

[root@centos Disk1]# rpm -ivh oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

This system does not meet the minimum requirements for swap space.  Based on

the amount of physical memory available on the system, Oracle Database 11g

Express Edition requires 2048 MB of swap space. This system has 1023 MB

of swap space.  Configure more swap space on the system and retry the

installation.

error: %pre(oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0

Here is my fstab file

[root@centos Disk1]# cat /etc/fstab
