Yes, the main thing to watch is that you allocate enough semaphores for all your process and make sure that SHMMAX can accomodate your SGA.
We found that for a non-MTS Oracle, each portion of the SGA (shared pool, log buffer etc.) could be loaded into a seperate shared memory segment, but for MTS, the entire SGA had to fit into a single segment.
This didn't seem to be documented anywhere, or maybe we've done something wrong.
Cheers.
Martin.
