Jessica,
Most probably you did not setup Solaris kernel parameters for Oracle or you
did set them up too low.
Open your /etc/system file and check:
- SEMNNS is the sum of the PROCESSES parameter for each Oracle database,
adding the largest one twice, and then adding 10 for each database.
- SEMMSL is equal to the largest PROCESSES parameter of any Oracle database
on the system plus 10.
Check the rest of the parameters according to the installation guide. You
cab try first to lower your PROCESSES parameter in init$ORACLE_SID.ora file
and try again.
Do not forget to reboot the Solaris box if you change /etc/system file. You
cat get the current settings by running:
$sysdef
Hope that helps,
