Allocating a Shared Memory Segment for Linux Users

Configure adequate shared-memory resources for the database server in your operating system.

  1. Add the new value in bytes to the file /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax. The new value takes effect immediately.
  2. Add a line to the file /etc/sysctl.conf. The new value will be retained the next time the machine is rebooted.
