Shared memory changes taking effect modify /etc/system - no effect

I am having a severe issue with shared memory on SOlaris 8. We have a
number of machines all configured the same. Servers are in pair.
Active and hot standby. On one pair, the standby will not obey our
shared memory configuration. This is causing our Database to fail!

The /etc/system files are identical. We configured set
shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 0x60000000 a number of times. with no luck

We have 6GB memory on a V240 with two processors.

Normally /usr/sbin/sysdef | grep SHMMAX gives this:
1610612736 max shared memory segment size (SHMMAX)

but on the bad server, we get this no matter what we do!
536870912 max shared memory segment size (SHMMAX)

Patch levels are the same.

I would appreciate any suggestions.
