Re: Trying to Install 7.3.4 database on a Solaris

Looks like the SGA it's trying to create is larger than shmmax or shmseg. Run the sysadmin utility and check the kernel parameters. While you're there, check semmni to make sure there are more semaphores free than the processes parameter in init.ora.

You can do something like:

$ ipcs -b | grep oracle

to show semaphores and sh mem segments for oracle assuming the unix user is called oracle.

Andrew.
