Re: Solaris /etc/system values for Oracle8i

Mario:

If you are using Solaris with 2GB of memory, it will be awfully difficult, if not impossible, to run 6 instances of Oracle8i simultaneously. Basically, because of the use of semaphores and the way Solaris manages memory, I would say you could run 3 or 4 instances , depending on their size. But to have all six up and running, especially if you have to create them, will not work. Oracle usually needs 1 GB per instance while you are creating a database. While running it, you would not necessarily need that much. I advice you to upgrade the memory on the server to 8 GB. I suggest you budget 1 GB per Oracle instance.
