Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Oracle 9 on redhat 9...kernal settings
The macho way is: echo 1073741824 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax.
If you put the line
kernel.shmmax = 1073741824 in your /etc/sysctl.conf, RH Linux will do
that for you during the next startup. When you do that, you should remember
two things:
a) Don't panic!
b) Always have your documentation CD and a towel with you.
Now, it's the time for me to hit the beach (Golf Beach, Milford CT if somebody
is interested.) Happy 4th of July to everybody!

Nice. I haven't even looked at setting these parms in linux
in a couple years, didn't know this was available.
So, how do you set SHMMAX, etc on linux using sysctl?
The man pages weren't much help.
