Re: Large SGA 8.1.5 and Solaris 2.6

The problem is you need to relocate the SGA:

1. Run tstshm - this gives you a lower & upper memory address
2. Make sure they line up on 512 byte boundaries (some systems require this)
3. cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib genksms > ksms.s raise or lower sgabeg (in this file)
4. Shut down the database
5. make -f oracle.mk ioracle ioracle backups up the old kernel etc.

Hope that helps,
Cheers,
Stephen Spence
