Hi,

Does anyone know what the System Parameter 'SHMSZ' is and how do I find it? I'm looking for the shared memory size of this particular parameter.

Thanks.

Does SHMSZ mean 'Shared Memory SiZe?

I am 99,9% sure it stands for Shared Memory Size, but on AIX I never had any issue for it so far. Found this one:
How to check AIX 5.2 Shared memory size ? - Unix Linux Forum - Fixunix.com

For what particular thing do you have to check SHMSZ (I think it is not available that way in AIX)?

We have someone troubleshooting a timesten error and they believe the issue has to do with the shared memory size on the system. They want to know what the value of it is. So, I'm hunting.

I found this command: ipcs -b - That shows the shared memory for system, who owns it, segment size and some other information.

Thanks for the link. I'll have a look and see what it offers.

I looked at the link and it showed information that I had already seen. I'm looking specifically for a value of the Shared Memory on AIX 5.3.

After more research, I found this is a parameter in the oracle db. Using the below command against the DB I was able to get the info.

(select * from SYSTEM_PARAMETERS where PARAM_CODE = 'SHMSZ';)
