I don't know about Red Hat 7.3 (I only installed it once there before moving onto 8.0), but what the installation guide actually tells you to do is to

cat 250 32000 100 128 > sem
 and

cat 2147etctectetc > shmmax

...in the /proc/sys/kernel directory.

But that only gets the settings correct until you reboot. So to make the changes permanent, you can add the lines:

cd /proc/sys/kernel
cat 250 32000 etc > sem
cat 2147etcetcetc > shmmax

...to the end of /etc/rc.local

Reboot and check, and it works. Whether it's good Linux practice or not is a different story.

What you definitely don't do is use the word "set".
