Very Large Memory(VLM) configuration

284264Aug 4 2003

Hi,
I am trying to configure Oracle9i on Windows 2000 Advanced server, so that Oracle can access more than 4GB of RAM.

Here are the settings I have done on windows and oracle

1.User account under which oracle runs (local system) has the "Lock memory pages" windows privilege.

2.Added registry parameter AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY with a value of 1.2GB

3. Added /PAE switch in the boot.ini file

4.USE_INDIRECT_DATA_BUFFERS=TRUE in the oracle initialization file. The DB_BLOCK_SIZE is set at 8192 bytes

My problem arises when I change the total number of bytes of database buffers(DB_BLOCK_SIZE * DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS) to greater then 3GB. The instance does not start and I get a "ORA-27102 Out of memory" error.

Am I missing any settings? I appreciate your help

Reddy
