Re: Shared Memory Realm Does Not Exist

I encountered this problem on HP-UX 11i with Oracle 8i (8.1.7). None of the previously suggested ideas helped me. Here is what fixed the problem for me:

1. Increased kernel parameter mx_thread_proc to 256 (which is the minimum recommended by the Oracle 8.1.7 installation guide)

2. Re-built the kernel.

3. Re-installed Oracle 8.1.7 with Global Database Name in the format of "XXX.YYY" (my previous, failed installation had just "XXX").

I didn't need to apply any HP-UX 11i patches or Oracle patches for this.

Good luck.
