kernel parameter

[Dmitryi Anosov]

Hi all.

I install Oracle 10.2 on HP-UX 11.11.
I have same problem and I know ,that I must increase shmmax to 17179869184 bytes. But then I try to increase I see this :

The value specified for tunable parameter "shmmax", "17179869184",evaluates to "17179869184" which is more than the maximum allowed value of "1073741824".


But than i read doks http://docs.hp.com/en/B3921-90010/shmmax.5.html maximum value is more

Can anybody help?

That is for 11.22, not 11.11.
Do you have more than 17 Gb of memory?

Hello,

What kind of hardware are you using there? Do you have a 64 bit architecture (maybe a PA-RISC based)? In this case you should check if you have applied the patch PHKL_24032 (or some patch/bundle that supersede this one.)

How much physical memory do you have installed on this node?
