This is a configuration problem. You have not set up Solaris correctly.
You need to set various shared memory and semaphore parameters in the
/etc/system file in order to accomodate your init.ora settings. Eventhough
you have no other application running on the machine, the default Solaris
settings are set high enough to handle only the smallest Oracle SGA. The
configuration guide you got with the Oracle Software will give example
settings of the most critical parameters for your platform.
