Re: ORA-03114 - 8.1.7 Install on Solaris

I'm new to Oracle also and may not be qualified to answer your question.

Just sharing my exp. in a recent installation in Solaris 8. I've problem starting oracle at first.
After some searches, I go and change the values in /etc/system. The recommended value from Installation Guide for semmns is 200 but I have found another recommendation (sorry, I don't hv the reference here) mentioning 2000 as appropriate. After changing this, it works fine.

Perhaps u can look into that?
(As I hv said, my exp. may not apply.)

regards,
jackling.
