RE: processes vs sessions

Kernel parameters?  Your kernel parameters are awfully low (meaning you
probably didn't set them per the install guide) if more than 150
processes requires changing your kernel parameters.

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken please.

Subject: Re: processes vs sessions

This is the reason i brought up this discussion I have a database which 
is reporting "ORA-00018: maximum number of sessions exceeded"

So i was wondering if i need to bump up my processes parameter from 150 
to a higher number. since this requires modifying kernel parameters. I 
was wondering if there is a way to calculate what this value be set to.

Thanks
