Installing Oracle9i on Solaris9

Installation docs suggest settings for the kernel parameters and it says that you can obtain a list of the system's current shared memory and semaphore segments by issuing the command ipcs.

I set kernel parameter settings in the /etc/system file and rebooted.

I issue the command ipcs but but basically get no results. Were the parameters changed or not? How do I see the current values?

The shared memory and semaphores will not show if not used. You have to have your database instance up and running, the shared memory allocated and semaphores in use in order to see them.

If you edited the /ets/system file and rebooted already, then the changes are there.

You can see the current IPC Semaphores and IPC Shared Memory with sysdef command. Look at the end of the output.

$sysdef
