Note: we may find the parameters mentioned above already present in the /etc/sysctl.conf file. If they have a value lower then mentioned above then make sure you change it, but if they have a larger value then it is safe to leave it as it is.
Make the kernel parameters changes effective immediately:

Where "nproc" is the maximum number of processes available to the user and "nofiles" is the number of open file descriptors.

In the above if u get any errors check for the below
1.File system mounting
2.File Permissions
3.Make sure that Oracle Software is not corrupted and shld be supported by the machine.
