<SPAN

class=718075221-27022001>    Recently I have setup a couple 8.1.6 databases on Solaris 8.  The databases appear to function normally, but when I shutdown either of them I receive the following message in a trace file:
<SPAN

skgm
warning: EINVAL creating segment of size 0000000004100000fix shm parameters in /etc/system or equivalent
<SPAN

class=718075221-27022001>(the message is repeated several times except for the segment size being different)

I
checked the /etc/system parameters and they are the same as some of my other boxes (Solaris 6 machines running 4-6 databases each) and they seem to work fine.  Memory shouldn't be a problem on this machine since it has 4 Gb of RAM with only 2 databases up and running.  Running 'top' shows that plenty of memory is available also.  Here are the /etc/system parameters for Oracle....

semsys:seminfo_semmni=750set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=600set 
semsys:seminfo_semmns=1200set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=67108864set 
shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=1200set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=180set 
shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=30<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

Does
Solaris 8 require some of these parameters to be higher?  I tried looking on MetaLink, but....well, you know that story.  Ask Ross Mohan for the details on Metalink....
