ORA-27154: post/wait create failed / +ASM1 instance startup failed

+ASM1 instance startup failed :

SQL> startup nomount;
ORA-27154: post/wait create failed
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semget failed with status: 28
ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: sskgpsemsper


Cause of the problem
The error may mislead you. Though it indicates No space left on device but whenever I issue df -h on my OS there is enough space. The problem happened because of short of semaphores setting in the OS.


Solution:

add the following line in /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.sem = 256 32768 100 228
