Hi, I downloaded the script to check hugepages_settings from note: Shell Script to Calculate Values Recommended Linux HugePages / HugeTLB Configuration [ID 401749.1].
Since our test/qa enviornment is way less activities than prod, I ran the script over current live production environment and got following outcome:

Press Enter to proceed...

***********
** ERROR **

Sorry! There are not enough total of shared memory segments allocated for
HugePages configuration. HugePages can only be used for shared memory segments
that you can list by command:

# ipcs -m

of a size that can match an Oracle Database SGA. Please make sure that:
* Oracle Database instance is up and running

Howdy, Stranger!
