I don't work on Solaris that much, but on Linux this would be mapped against 
/dev/shm- if /dev/shm was only set to less than 20gb you would run into odd 
errors.  Also, are you trying to mix hugepages and ASMM together?  Perhaps 
there is a limit and its not allowing enough hugepages to be allocated.  In 
linux you cannot mix hugepages and /dev/shm together but I think you can in 
Solaris.

Thanks Han.

Unfortunately that did not work. I set all targets to the exact value that they 
currently occupy, i.e.:

shared pool = 1280M
large pool = 128M
streams pool = 128M
java pool = 256M

pga_aggregate_target = 2496M
sga_target = 4672M
db_cache_size = 2752M

Setting memory_target to 16G and even to 20G ( i.e. memory_max_target) still 
gives the same error "ORA-00846: could not shrink MEMORY_TARGET to specified 
value" :(

Cheers,
Tony
