I have a cogent question for all the Oracle/Solaris whizards.
I am beginning to configuring a SunOs 5.3 sun4m sparc for oracle 7.0.
The installation manual states that I have to modify the following
(kernel) parameters:
SHMMAX=8388608
SHMMIN=1
SHMMNI=100
SHMSEG=10
SEMMNS=200
SEMMNI=70
SEMMSL=64
However, it does not tell me how.
I have never reconfigured a Solaris kernel, so far, but I have goten to the point
where I know I have to change the /etc/system file - only, I do not know how, and I
could not find any info in the documentation I have at hand.
Simply sticking the above lines (with set prepended) in the /etc/system file makes
boot complain thet those variable are undefined in the kernel.
Furthermore ipcs gives me the following:
# ipcs -b
IPC status from <running system> as of Tue Jan 31 15:24:59 1995
Message Queue facility not in system.
Shared Memory facility not in system.
Semaphore facility not in system.
However, sys/shmsys is listed as a loadable module in sysdef -i.
This may or may not have something to do with my attempts to modify
the system file.
Summarizing:
i) how do I load the shared memory and semaphore things in the kernel
(at startup, I mean)?
ii) how do I change the abovementioned variables?
Advanced thanks.
Bye,
Alessandro Forghieri
