Hi Mark,
The systems has 24GB of memory and I was only planning on giving the database around 4GB of this for the SGA, because it is going to be a small database and the actual system requirements are not clear to me - this one of the "please come and install Oracle for us" requests that I get from time to time, with little or no more detail.

Thanks for the point about SHMALL, its set to another improbable high number - 1152921504606846720. So this is way more than the actual amount of RAM, given that its expressed in 4KB pages.

Given that the database is going to be small I was not going to configure hugepages, But it will be worth me checking up on this on SUSE, in case it comes in handy in the future.

Thanks
Pete
