    I installed Oracle 8.1.6 on Sun Ultra 5 / Solaris, set all the kernel parameter, .profile paramter for
    ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE, TNS_ADMIN etc etc.

    Now, I want to create the new database, for that, I start the server manager (svlmgrl), and connect internal.

    When I type, startup nomount pfile=.....
    I get the error

    ORA-27146: post/wait initialization failed

    Please advise me the procedure to create the new Oracle database on Unix.

    Increase semaphores (based on the # processes for the db) in the etc/system file, save, reboot the server and retry.

    Wink DB creation on Solaris

    The ORA-27146 means that the system is running out of semaphores. You can either decrease the "processes" parameter in the init.ora file, or increase the kernel setting in /etc/system file. The semamphore parameter is called "semmns".
