shmmax parameter
I am running HPUX 11.0 with Sybase 12.0, I have 10GB physical memory.
1. I'd like to increase shmmax parameter, does anyone know the threshold value? I was told by one source that you can set it to 0xffffffff (max value) -OR- 50-60% of physical memory to be on the safe side. I was told by another source that HPUX may have a 2GB limitation.
BTW, I am not a DBA so any information would be helpful

Re: shmmax parameter
'shmmax' defines the system-wide maximum allowable shared memory segment size in bytes. Its minimum value is 2048 bytes. Its
maximum value is 0x40000000 (1024 MB) on 32-bit systems and 1TB on 64-bit systems. The default value is 0x04000000 (64 MB).
For more information on configurable kernel parametes, see:

Re: shmmax parameter
According to the article you directed me to, it is possible for Oracle to use more than 1.75 GB of RAM.. But I need the Memory Windows product.. Is this something that must be purchased? Or can I download it..
Pedro,
Here is a snippet of my ipcs command
#ipcs -mopb
IPC status from /dev/kmem as of Fri May 11 09:29:13 2001
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP NATTCH SEGSZ
Shared Memory:
m 155 0x00000000 --rw-rw---- oracle dba 9 1073741824
m 156 0x5bc5a610 --rw-rw---- oracle dba 9 518119424
One segment is exactly 1GB, the other is about 518MB..
Also, according to HP, the maximum setting for SHMMAX in HP-UX 64-bit is 1 TB.. not 1792 MB..
Check out this link for more info..
