Re: Oracle6 & sun4m

Anyway, we're experiencing problems w/ running Oracle6 on the Sun sun4m architecture(SPARC10 & SPARCClassic) and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. We have no problems running on the sun4c architecture. Here's the error:

Platform: On a Sparc10 (SunOS 4.1.3), Oracle 6 (SQL*DBA 6.0.26.8.1) yields

        the following error during a "create database" statement:

	SQLDBA> ORA-07307: sms1sg: shmat error, unable to attach sga.
	SunOS Error: 22: Invalid argument
	Additional information: 1



--> 	You probably do not have shared memory configured, or not


	enough of it.

	Try 'ipcs -a' to see if they are configured.

	You would need to put in share memory and semaphores options in your
	kernel configuration and re-gen the kernel.

	Below is an example. The values would depend on your Oracle SGA
	requirement.

options SEMMNI=10			# max semaphore clusters
options SEMMNS=60			# max# of semaphores for system
options SEMUME=10			# max# of semaphores per process
options SEMMNU=30			# max# of process that use undo

options SHMMAX=12582912			# max shared memory size
options SHMMNI=100			# max. shared memory segments

I hope it helps,
