Hi All,

I am very new to Solaris admin ( I am an Oracle DBA by trade), so I wa
wondering if some kind person could help me out please. This is th
issue:-

I am attempting to set shared memory, semaphore settings (prior t
installing Oracle) on an Ultra 2 machine running 5.9 Solaris SPAC.
have edited the /etc/system file but on a reboot (init 6) the setting
aren't being reflected.

I am checking with sysdef|grep -i SHM
sysdef|grep -i SEM

Can anyone offer any explanation why these settings are being ignored,

I don't believe I have mirroring on the root disk. Any help would b
gratefully appreciated because I can't install Oracle otherwise.

Thanks In Advance

Gar

What exact lines are you adding to /etc/system ?
