DB doesn't startup

[tomate]

Hey Guys,
i have a small problem. I want to start our db on a sun solaris ultar80 with solaris2.7.
I connect me as internal at sqlplus. Then i make a startup and after that the error occurs:
ORA-27102 out of memory
SVR4 Error:22:Invalid argument
Then i look after the error ORA-27102
and i should consult the trace file for details:
i looked after all the trace-files but there are no. So i controlled our init.ora if the all path are right. All is right.
Whats now.
Thanks for help

You either need to adjust your kernal parameters or reduce your memory parameters in the init.ora.

But way i thake round about 50MB from the ram and with top i can see that there are 831MB RAM are free. Why memory problems

I think the error from thre next line says more but i don't know what this mean:
Here the line again:
SVR4 Error:22:Invalid argument

On SQL/Plus after connecting as internal try to start the db in steps to narrow down the problem --

SQL> startup nomount;

SQL> alter database mount;

SQL> alter database open;

and then post the exact error message and what stage it comes at.

Hey rsuri,
this have i make as one of my first steps:
The error is the same after i connect to sqlplus or svrmgrl as internal and i make startup mount the error occurs:
ORA-27102 out of memory
SVR4 Error:22:Invalid argument

This is a very good joke from oracle, that there is no more information.
Do you know more

Thanks

As Jeff mentioned, you need to lower your memory parameters, could you post the following parameters from the init.ora file --

db_block_buffers
shared_pool_size
db_block_size

- Rajeev

[tomate]

db_block_buffers = 5000 and this is reduced from me from 9746
shared_pool_size = 26613760
db_block_size =8192

But i think the parameters are all right or??

Thanks very much for the help

It's not an Oracle error, it's an OS error. This is why Oracle can't give you any more information...
