Does anyone know what is the command line to increase the SHMMAX on a linux 6.1 operating system? Please help. Any other parameters to increase memory space for Oracle? sharee () unregistered posted August 31, 2000 02:37 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can use 'sysctl' command or '/etc/sysctl.conf' file. Add following line to '/etc/sysctl.conf' : ------------------------------------- kernel.shmmax = you want size ------------------------------------- and reboot your system. if you check changed shared memory size, use 'ipcs -l' command.
