Note:
Be sure you have above rmp on your system, you can use below command to
check whether RPM packages are installed or not
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}.%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n" |
grep gcc
q = query
a = all

Edit Host Service

/etc/hosts
Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
[ip_address] [node_name].[domain_name] [node_name]
Exemple :
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost
10.1.4.XXX erptest.talan.com erptest

/etc/sysconfig/network

vi

Version C1.0

Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:

HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]
HOSTNAME= erptest.talan.com

/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network
If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists,
remove it.
If you changed any files in the previous steps, restart the system.

Kernel Parameters

/etc/sysctl.conf
Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to configure your kernel settings. After editing
the file, use the "sysctl -p" command or restart the system to invoke the new
settings.

# Controls the maximum number of shared memory segments, in pages
kernel.shmall = 4294967296
kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.msgmax = 8192
kernel.msgmnb = 65535
kernel.msgmni = 2878
