Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> ORA-07429: smsgsg: shmget() failed to get segment. on SUN
I received this message when trying to build a new database with a large
value (90) for maxdatafiles.
I thought this might arise because I had too many instances running, but
when the others were completely shutdown I still get the same message. When
I tried to take one of the existing databases (maxdatafiles=30) , dump the
control file to trace to change maxdatafiles, and then try to rebuild the
controlfiles I also get the same message. I don't have the SUN manuals with
me...is there something special re: the SUN system I am missing?
I have built databases on HP, VMS, and AIX before but this is my first time on SUN.
