Dear community,
I am dealing with an issue I am yet not able to explain to myself. Let's start with the environment im am using:
- Oracle Solaris 11.2 successfully installed into a VM (Oracle VirtualBox 4.3.28 in Windows 8.1 x64)
- VM has 120gb disc space, 8gb RAM (Host has 16gb)
- Installation starts fine, all prequesites are fullfilled
Relevant values from the OUI:
- Create and configure db
- Server-class
- Single instance
- Enterprise Edition
- Common usage
- no container db
- Memory: Setup recommends 3.276mb on a VM with 8gb RAM, where 800mb to 1000mb are in use, while the setup is running. I chose the suggested value.
- shm.max-memory-size set to 4gb in project for user oracle
When the installer calls dbca, the process fails with ORA-27102: out of memory.
At that point a maximum of 1.2gb is actually in use by the system, top shows over 6gb of available memory but the system states it ran out of memory.
For my understanding there should have been more than enough memory for the dbca to work with. 8gb - 1.2gb = 6.8gb free where 3.3gb are needed.
Anybody to enlighten me in this?
Thanks a lot,
Florian
