I am running HP-UX B.11.11.


I'm increasing a parameter for a database engine so that it uses more memory to buffer the disk drive (to speed up performance). I have over 5GB of memory not being used.

But when I try to start the DB with the increased buffer parameter I get told.

"Not enough Shared Memory"

I am told that there is a Kernel paramater that I need to adjust so that I can use that "unused" memory for this DBs startup.

Does anyone know the kernel parameter that will allow me to use more of my available memory as shared memory?
