Hi all,
I've recently inherited several large Solaris servers that need to be
reconfigured for Oracle databases, starting with the the kernel settings.
In HP-UX, it's possible to set the value of shmmax to as high as 0x80000000,
the amount of physical memory on the server.
I believe back in the 32-bit days the equivalent could be achieved in Solaris
with
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xFFFFFFFF
In Solaris, is a shmmax setting of
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0x40000000
or
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0x80000000
legitimate and is it "infinite", i.e. the amount of physical memory
available on the server?
Thanks,
Lou Avrami
