Optimal value for shmmax and shmall

582561Jul 13 2011 — edited Jul 14 2011
Hi Experts,

Am new to the database administration side. Need help/suggestions from you all. My requirement is narrated below:

I was going the kernel parameter for oracle 10gr2. But I have a doubt the following two parameters.

kernel.shmall=2097152 (Default)

kernel.shmmax=2147483648 (Default)

Also I know that this is the recommended value for these two parameters. But just want to check if I have physical RAM of 4GB then what should be the optimal value for these parameter.

Also can anyone suggest how to set the optimal value for these parameter.

Thanks
