A couple of things to suggest ...

Try running the command " ps -ef | grep ora " and this will show you if any unix processes are running that belong to oracle.

What does the bottom of your /etc/system file look like (this has the memory parameters).

As sybbrand noted the ipcs command will report back if you have allocated any shared memory segments.

There are specific install docs available from oracle for 9.2 on solaris have you followed them?

I would have to disagree about most oracle books being windows centric it is actually the complete opposite. Received on Wed Aug 24 2005 - 07:36:58 CDT
