Check out if the OS has enough semaphores defined. SEMMNS from memory in the
UNIX config screens of HP/UX. Have had this problem before. Used to be the
SHMMAX but latest versions are not limited on this. SEMMNS is still a problem.
Basically, you need one semaphore per user process. The default of HP/UX is
usually 120, which get consumed by all sorts of stuff, not only ORACLE. Jack
the number up to 256, re-create the OS, re-boot and you should be able to use
more than 60 processes in ORACLE.
