Hi Venu,
The problem here is that Solaris doesn't have enough shared memory available
to fit the SGA in.
On database creation a startup nomount is being issued, this creates the SGA
in shared memory (as every startup does) and that startup fails.
I'm no Solaris expert. From other posts is would appear you need to increase
SHMMAX. Please look into the Solaris doc on how to resize the shared memory.
Hth,
