Re: Can NOT start second database

Hello Kevin,

correct, shmmax=64MB is much too small.
The 2 SGA's should fit into your 256 MB RAM, so be careful about size of

 db_block_buffer
 shared_pool_size

Each user process get one semaphore, so lower

 processes to < 20 (or increase semmni)

Good luck,

    Roelof
