I also expericencing same issue for an Oracle9i installation on Solaris 10. I have a 1 GB RAM, 2 GB swap and lot of disk space. I am getting Ora Err: Out of Memory.

The oracle documentation asks for increased value in shmmax, shmmni etc in /etc/system. But the Sun docs says those changes are not required as Solaris 10 uses "rcladm" to manage these resources and by default shmmax is 1/4 of memory installed and OS will adjust the value dynamically.

I did not find a simple command to see the existing values for these shared memory variables or a way to increase it in case I need it. Yes I agree there are some resource control programs available. But I am not able to interpret it correctly. Sun needs to come up with a better tutorial for this feature.
Any tips? Received on Sun Apr 03 2005 - 13:02:40 CDT
