ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system

      今天晚上新裝一臺Oracle 11g的數據庫，打算將SGA設大一點，知道 11g 中有一個新特新 MEMORY_TARGET，于是嘗一下鮮，誰知報了個 ORA-00845，報錯比較容易迷惑人，不借助Google真得想半天：

SQL> alter system set memory_max_target=3G scope=spfile ;  System altered. SQL> alter system set memory_target=2G scope=spfile ;       System altered. SQL>SQL> shutdown immediate Database closed.Database dismounted.ORACLE instance shut down.SQL> startup ; ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system
      來自Oracle的官方解析是：
Starting with Oracle Database 11g, the Automatic Memory Management feature requires more shared memory (/dev/shm)and file descriptors. The size of the shared memory should be at least the greater of MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and MEMORY_TARGET for each Oracle instance on the computer. If MEMORY_MAX_TARGET or MEMORY_TARGET is set to a non zero value, and an incorrect size is assigned to the shared memory, it will result in an ORA-00845 error at startup.
      簡單來說就是 MEMORY_MAX_TARGET 的設置不能超過 /dev/shm 的大?。?/p>
[oracle@FWDB FWDB]$ df -h | grep shmtmpfs                 2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev/shm      還真是撞到這個槍口上了：
      馬上把它加大：
[root@FWDB ~]# cat /etc/fstab | grep tmpfstmpfs                  /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults,size=4G 0 0      現在可以通過重啟使這個配置生效，也可以通過重新掛載來修改其大?。?nbsp; 
[root@FWDB ~]# mount -o remount,size=4G /dev/shm[root@FWDB ~]# df -h | grep shmtmpfs                 4.0G     0  4.0G   0% /dev/shm    再次啟動數據庫，沒有報錯了。
