shared memory segment/value?

To which parameter is this referring: shmmax,shmmni, or shmseg or ....?
"The default total logical memory parameter for HP is 45,056 2K pages (88MB) on the 64-bit operating system. To adjust the shared memory value of the operating system, use the System Administration Manager (SAM)."

You need to change shmmax according to your requirement.

Re: shared memory segment/value?

It appears to be referring to shmmax but the statement is incorrect. It is specified in bytes and the default is 64MB. (0x4000000). The maximum values are 1GB (32-bit) and 4TB
(64-bit) with a minumum of 2K.

It is just possible that this a a vague reference to maxswapchunks which also can set an upper limit on the amount of shared memory available.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
