Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: Oracle WG-Server fails install on Ultra running 2.5
The typical sun configuration is for very small shared memory segments. The typical Oracle install wants more. I've seen this happen before when the system allows for 4meg of shared memory and Oracle wants 6 or more.....
You need to update your /etc/system file and 'touch /reconfigure' and reboot (or boot -r to reconfigure). My /etc/system has the following settings:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=268435456 set semsys:seminfo_semmap=250 set semsys:seminfo_semmni=500 set semsys:seminfo_semmns=500 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=500 set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=500 set semsys:seminfo_semume=100 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=200 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=200 set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=200
Which allow for large shared memory segements and other relevant settings. The above is cut and pasted from the Sun answerbook .....
You may just want to rerun the install after you fix this since this probably prevent the install from putting all the pl/sql packages and data dictionary in the system (the database was never able to start to finish the install).
