Here's content of my /etc/system file for Solaris 2.6:

set shmsys: shminfo_shmmax = 209,715,200
set shmsys: shminfo_shmseg = 300
set semsys: seminfo_semmns = 4000
set semsys: seminfo_semmni = 210

set rlim_fd_max = 1024
set rlim_fd_cur = 1024

Does this mean my shared memory space is equal to 206 mb * 300 = 62.914 gb?

And if I only have 0.5 gb of physical RAM, would this be a bad thing for the OS? The reason I ask is that Oracle 7.3.2.2 installer apparently modified these values to these settings. But they are way over their recommended documented values.

Any insight would be much appreciated.
