Hi All, I'm trying to lock my sga in memory on a RedHat Linux 3 AS server. When I try to start the database with the "lock_sga=true" paramerter in my init file I get the following error: SQL> startup nomount; ORA-27102: out of memory Linux Error: 12: Cannot allocate memory SQL> Any ideas? Thanks, Magnus Andersen Systems Administrator / Oracle DBA Walker & Associates, Inc.
