/dev/shm Vs MAX_MEMORY_TARGET

JhilOct 1 2016 — edited Oct 1 2016

Dear all,

I have seen following statement  i am getting bit confused.

" /dev/shm must be greater than the sum of MEMORY_MAX_TARGET for all instance on the server"

>> Allocated memory on my personal system for single database.

SQL> show parameter MEMORY_MAX_TARGET;

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------

memory_max_target                    big integer 872M

SQL> show parameter MEMORY_TARGET;

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------

memory_target                        big integer 872M

>> My current configuration of /dev/shm on my machine

tmpfs    tmpfs 1.2G   596M   547M  53% /dev/shm

>> Allocated memory on my personal system for single database.

Right now i have only 1 database on my machine.

if i have '10' databases on my machine, 

should i allocate  value of /dev/shm  is  greater than,   sum  of all instances (10)  memory_max_target value ?

>> Is this correct ?

value of  /dev/shm   >  memory_max_target  * 10 (all instances )

OS : Oracle Linux 5.6

DB : 11.2.0.2
