hi, list friends:
About SGA , shmmax, ISM on solaris
Sun Solaris 7 64bit oracle

Current database sga:
19:57:31 SQL> show sga
Total System Global Area 4711026364 bytes
Fixed Size 102076 bytes
Variable Size 415678464 bytes
Database Buffers 4294967296 bytes
Redo Buffers 278528 bytes
As the document said, if the sga is larger than shmmax, oracle=
will allocate more than one shared memory segment,right?
But in my case, as you can see,SGA =3D 4.7Gb, shmmax =3D4GB
As the document said, oracle should allocate two shared memory=
segment.
but from the ipcs result we can see that there is just one shared=
memory segment.
How can i understand it?
And, can i enlarger the parameter shmmax larger than 4GB? I have=
12Gb physical memory.I never see parameter shmmax larger than=
4GB in any document so not sure.
Thanks.
