With Multiple Instances Do I need to change shminfo_shmmax kernel value on Solaris 9?
I am running Oracle 9i on Solaris 9 Sparc platform. Our server (Sun Fire E20K) has 64 Gigs of ram. We have 6 different instances of Oracle running. The sga_max_size for each database is set to 5 gigs. Our shmmax kernel setting is set to around 6 gigs. Should the shmmax be larger? In particular someone said that the shmmax kernel parameter should be set to the sum of the sga_max_size of the instances we have running. Is this true? I have thus been unable to find any documentation on this.
Thank you
