Always try to keep the shmmax value around 80% to 90% of the available physical memory. So your setting for shmmax would be
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=209715200
You said it failed ? What failed ? Software installation, Database creation ? If your database creation failed, then look under $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log directories.
Thanks

You have to increase this value.....
The default value would be too small. I'm not
aware of default on solaris, but on TRU64 it's
somewhere around 45 MB ( don't remember exactly)...
So just increase this value to 1-2 GB and try
once more, this should succeed.

Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for the info. I was not aware what shmmax value
was, though, I knew it is related to memory.
I had even left the /etc/system file unchanged during
my 2nd installation attempt (I had copied system to
system.org) and tried. But it fails there too.
Thanks,
gopi
