Hi All,

We have a new ES45 with 2 x EV6.8CB cpu's, 4GB memory, 12GB swap
running Tru64 5.1A PK1 and using Advfs. The DBA's are trying to
start Oracle 7.3.4 but get the following error :-

uxfmis1 (root) #> su - oracle

              SIDs on this machine are
                  mprd FPRD

ORACLE_SID = [FPRD] ?
FPRD@uxfmis1:> svrmgrl

Oracle Server Manager Release 2.3.4.0.0 - Production

Oracle7 Server Release 7.3.4.4.0 with the 64-bit option - Production

SVRMGR> connect internal
Connected to an idle instance.
SVRMGR> startup nomount
ORA-07307: sms1sg: shmat error, unable to attach sga.
Digital Unix Error: 12: Not enough space

SVRMGR> exit
Server Manager complete.

And yes, there is plenty of disk space :)

HOWEVER if edit the file /ora_apps/oracle/admin/FPRD/pfile/initFPRD.ora
and change the following parameters :-

from
db_block_buffers = 20000
shared_pool_reserved_min_alloc = 10000
shared_pool_reserved_size = 10000000
shared_pool_size = 500000000

to
db_block_buffers = 2000
#shared_pool_reserved_min_alloc = 10000
#shared_pool_reserved_size = 10000000
shared_pool_size = 5000000

then the database starts up fine.

The DBA's think it is a tunable paramter setting which
needs changing.
We have been looking at the tunable parameters but we
are really just taking a stab in the dark when changing
them. Below is a list of some of the parameters

Does anyone have any ideas with this problem??

Thankyou in advance
