Solaris 10: shminfo_shmmax

807567Oct 15 2007 — edited Dec 28 2007

Hello,
I�m an Oracle DBA trying to understand the impacts that shmmax can have in a Solaris 10 system.

1. how does shminfo_shmmax setting affect the system performance (memory,paging,CPU) in Solaris 10?
2. Our server has 8G of RAM and runs with shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffffffffffff . Is this setting correct and why?
3. What shmmax value do you suggest for our environment?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Giuseppe Centioli
