Hi Nikhil, I had the same problem.
I settled with the following instructions

pront > sqlplus /nolog
SQL>connect / as sysdba
SQL>startup
SQL>quit

pront> cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
pront> lsnrctl start

The problem I am having is that although this script will start and stop oracle when run on the command line, it does not shutdown oracle at re-boot. After logging a call with RH they told me to check the status within the script by adding the following to the script
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
and then in the status case statment
status dbora # ie name of script

This then returned
[root@host init.d]# ./dbora status
dbora dead but subsys locked
because the status of the system is not running no attempt will be made to shut it down at boot.

Anyone know what code is required such that status returned will be running?

A quick search on google reveal:

To enable hugetlbpages, first you need 2.6 kernel, and then you need to recompile it with the following config options enabled:

CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=y
CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=y

or just disable hugetlb tables:

export DISABLE_HUGETLBFS=1

If you are doing this you need to have a lot of free RAM

Anyway optimizing oracle is a heavy job. Take a look after limits.conf and oracle. You need to increase the number of file descriptors and a lot of other things.
