I've read a couple of brief passages about setting the kernel memory parameters in UNIX that are required for an Oracle installation. The information found on MetaLink and in the Oracle 9i installation guide are brief at best and somewhat confusing for a non-UNIX-sys admin. like myself. Would some of you more experienced UNIX/Oracle DBAs please provide a plain English explanation describing your strategy in setting the following 7 parameters in the /etc/system file:

SEMMNI SEMMNS SEMMSL SHMMAX SHMMIN SHMMNI SHMSEG To use a simple example, let's say the server has 1 GB of RAM to work with.

Thanks in advance for sharing,

david
