Hello,

I have the following configuration:

O/S: W2K
RAM: 3GB
Pagefile: 4GB
Oracle version: 8.1.7
SGA: 1,290,397,724
Current usage of RAM: 1.5GB

Since this server is dedicated only to Oracle database, I want it to utilise the full available RAM of 3GB. I tried to increase the sga size by by changing the DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS. But during database startup, I receive the following messages;

ORA-27101 shared memory realm does not exist and ORA-27102 out of memory.

Could anybody help me to solve this problem?

thanks,
