Interesting...
It works for me on AIX

oracle rs015 [DBMP]: oslevel
4.3.3.0

oracle rs015 [DBMP]: sysresv -l DBMP DBCP

IPC Resources for ORACLE_SID "DBMP" :
Shared Memory:

ID              KEY
262150          0x566bfa00

Oracle Instance alive for sid "DBMP"

IPC Resources for ORACLE_SID "DBCP" :
Shared Memory:

ID              KEY
7               0xa086ab38

Oracle Instance alive for sid "DBCP"

But if I tried a non-existent SID name:

oracle rs015 [DBMP]: sysresv -l junk

IPC Resources for ORACLE_SID "junk" :
Shared Memory
ID KEY
No shared memory segments used
Oracle Instance not alive for sid "junk"

HTH,

Kirti

I was logged in as oracle, owner of the shared segments.

Poking around metalink I found a reference to a utility called sysresv (note 123322.1). According to the document it displays the id and key for each for the shared memory segments which the Oracle instances have created.

I tried it on an AIX 4.3 system running three Oracle instances and it does not work.

Example:

# sysresv -l vdev delmia ngcdev

IPC Resources for ORACLE_SID "vdev" :
Shared Memory
ID KEY
No shared memory segments used
Oracle Instance not alive for sid "vdev"

IPC Resources for ORACLE_SID "delmia" :
Shared Memory
ID KEY
No shared memory segments used
Oracle Instance not alive for sid "delmia"

IPC Resources for ORACLE_SID "ngcdev" :
Shared Memory
ID KEY
No shared memory segments used
Oracle Instance not alive for sid "ngcdev"

If I do Aipcs -m | grep oracle

I get:

m   1179648 0xf50105e0 --rw-r-----   oracle oinstall
m   1179649 0xfa5fbc28 --rw-r-----   oracle oinstall
m         2 0x02da4bbc --rw-r-----   oracle oinstall

Anyone else have similar experiences?
