oracle11g数据库在执行dbca或者调整sga后重启oracle的时候可能会出现:
ORA-00845 MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system
究其原因就是Linux系统的shm的大小比SGA设置的小，造成的。

具体说，SGA设置4G，而shm可能只有1G，网上提供两种解决办法：
01、调整sga的大小，这个明显不是我们所希望的
02、调整shm的大小，这样相对简单，具体操作如下

vim /etc/fstab
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0  0
修改为：
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,size=6G 0  0

重新mount下shm使其生效

mount -o remount /dev/shm

通过df可以查看下，没有问题就可以继续安装数据库或者启动数据库了！
说明：服务器上有两个不同数据库实例，启动一个实例的时候没问题。在启动第二个INSTANCE的时候报ORA-00845错误。该测试服务器仅8G内存。 tmpfs 默认是4G

4.0G  1.6G  2.4G  40% /dev/shm. 

两个实例的使用内存应该超过了4G，所以修改tmpfs，问题解决了。 
但是新问题tmpfs 大小的限制如何确定呢？观察一下内存使用在说吧
