Lock SGA in memory

[hendrimaul]

Hi lists,

Anybody knows how to make SGA locked in memory for Oracle on Solaris ?

Thanks.

You did not worry about lock the SGA in memory,
As soon as you start the database instance, the oracle
it self occupy the required space in memory(by using init<sid>.ora).
it will not release until you shutdown the database.

Good Luck.

[pss]

You can use init.ora parameter LOCK_SGA=TRUE and Oracle will never allow OS to put SGA in a swap area.

LOCK_SGA is OS dependant. It may be available for all environment.

Thank you for the helps.

But, does Solaris kernel parameter has something that must be set ? I heard that on Sequent Unix, there are some kernel parameters that enable shared memory locking: SHM_LOCK_OK, SHM_LOCK_UID, and so on.

Thanks.
