Hello Gurus,

I'm trying to install oracle 7.3.4 on a sun solaris box ultra SparcII with 512 MB RAM . When I start the installation process , at the point of the creation of the database, it says DAtabase creation failed. Check log file. When i check the log file I read the error as

ORA-07331: smsnsg: unable to allocate the variable portion of the SGA.
> > Additional information: 4
> > create database "ORCL"
> > *
> > ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

The variables set in initORCL.ora are shared_pool_size =3500000
and
db_block_buffers=200.

I've tried increasing the shared_pool_size and also db_block_buffers ,but without any success.
I also tried to decrease the above variables and tried reinstalling without any success.

I chose the default installation option.

Can anybody out there guide me through?

Thanks,
