Oracle in non-global zone



Dear managers,

I am trying to install Oracle 10g in a non-global zone on a machine
with 2 x 1.6 GHz and 6 GB RAM (Solaris 10 SPARC) and am getting the
following error

ORA XXX Out of memory

I got the same error when installing Oracle in the global zone and
got that fixed by doing the following in /etc/system

set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100

I hoped that the zone oracle would automatically benefit from these
modifications since there is no /etc/system (of course) in the
non-global zone.

I am stuck! Any ideas? I really would like to run Oracle in a zone to
separate this monster from the rest of the machine as much as
possible. I found some articles via google that this is doable!?
Hints are greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot for the numerous responses I got so far. The bottom line
is (my current conclusion from the replies) that Oracle can be
installed in a zone and that the only parameter that needs to be added
to /etc/system on Solaris 10 is

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 4294967295

When installing in a non-global zone one instead has to add the
following to /etc/project

user.oracle:100:orawp01:oracle::project.max-shm-memory=(privile ged,
4294967295,deny)

I am just trying this out... Is the modification to /etc/system
necessary when installing in a non-global zone or do I need that only
if I wantto install Oracle in the global zone? I have to repeat the
installation on a remote machine today and I would prefer not to be
forced to reboot this machine.

My installation in the zone failed in the first place because of
insufficient swap space. I temporarily added some with the following
commands:

mkfile 9500m /newswap
swap -a /newswap

It looks better now...

Thanks,

Andreas
