Richard Ji,您好!

                Hi , how do you know that ISM is used even if multiple shared memory 
segment are used in solaris 8?

>> Hello, List,
>>
>> Our Sun Fire 4800 server have 8 CPUs and 16G memory.I set the
>> SHMMAX kernel parameter to 4294967295 according to
>> installation guide on metalink.The SHMMAX is "max shared
>> memory segment size".What's the relationship between SHMMAX
>> and max size of SGA?Because our oracle's SGA may exceed
>> 4G,can I set this parameter to 8G,10G?
>>
>> Any suggestion is appreciated.
