Re: Solaris 10 Project(4)

Hi Charlotte,

you basically need these project definitions to define how much IPC resources can be used. The default setting calculated by the OS are not always what you want :-( Everything is allright except the allowed shared memory.
You need to define a project and kind of attach a max shared memory to it. I assume you already have a user 'oracle' and a group 'dba'. If not add these to you system.

Create a default project like:

projadd -c "Oracle default project" group.dba

This assigns a default project (called group.dba) to the UNIX group dba (the one that user oracle is a member of).

Now modify this project so adequate shared memory can be used:

projmod -sK "project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,2G,deny)" group.dba

Thats it. You can now use SGA up to 2G in size.

Good luck and have fun with that best OS in the world :-)

Cheers
Paul

Look in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and /etc/project to see how this info is stored in these files.
