What are difference between shared memory and physical on Solaris 10 sparc?

Problem Description

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

1) I have SAP ASE Sybase DBMS 15.7 running on Solaris 10 local zone, i want to increase memory for SAP ASE Sybase DBMS, how can i do on OS level for increasing memory?

2) What should do is increase share memory based on /etc/project for sybase process? for instance, list below info, now share memory for sysbase is 60GB, we need to increase share memory by 10GB, then we should increase share memory from 60GB to 70GB, correct?

bash-3.2$ cat /etc/project

system:0::::

user.root:1::::

noproject:2::::

default:3::::

group.staff:10::::

user.sybase:100::sybase::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,64424509440,deny)

bash-3.2$ cat /etc/release

bash-3.2$ id

uid=100(sybase) gid=4(adm)

3) what's shared memory? is it physical memory? allocated 60GB to sybase means allocate 60GB physical memory?

4) what are the difference between shared memory and physical memory?
