Description:

In centos7.2, systemd-logind Services introduces a new feature: when a user exits os completely, remove loses all IPC objects.

This feature is controlled by the RemoveIPC option in the / etc/systemd/logind.conf parameter file.

In centos7.2, the default value for RemoveIPC is yes

Therefore, when the last oracle or Grid user exits, the operating system will remove the shared memory segments and semaphores of that user

Because Oracle ASM and database use shared memory segments, remove shared memory segments will crash Oracle ASM and database instances.

Oracle Linux7.2 avoids this problem by explicitly setting RemoveIPC to no,Oracle Linux7.2 in the / etc/systemd/logind.conf configuration file

Workaround solution:

1) Set RemoveIPC=no in / etc/systemd/logind.conf

2) Reboot the server or restart systemd-logind as follows:

# systemctl daemon-reload

# systemctl restart systemd-logind

These errors are related to os, and there is documentation on mos that may refer to:
