Re: SGA size limited to 1GB?

Solaris 2.6 and Oracle 7.3.4 support SGA of the size 3.75Gig, as I am told. And this is limited to the 32bit OS that Solaris is. The limit on Digital Unix is 14Gig. The variable you have to change on solaris is SHMMAX in /etc/system it is also discussed in your installation guide, in the Setting Up The Environment section.
