Modifying limits.conf & pam.d

Hello all,

I'm running Oracle 10.2 on RHEL5. Current value of ulimit -n is set to a low value of 1024. I need to increase it to 65536 using the following procedure.

cat >> /etc/security/limits.conf <<EOF
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
EOF

cat >> /etc/pam.d/login <<EOF
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
EOF

Question: will the new values take effect as soon as I complete the above 2 steps or should I run something manually so that these new values take effect?

Thanks for your time.

No. You have to restart all Oracle processes.

Shut down all of the oracle instances running, then restart them.

Thanks Murphy & Jim for your responses. I'll restart the Oracle instance as you suggested.
