Issue:
When trying to startup Oracle Instance, you may encounter following error:
ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system
Root Cause:
Your shm size is smaller than Memory_Target.
Solution:
- Open pfile in "/u01/app/oracle/admin/<instance>/pfile" and check parameter ‘memory_target’
-
df -h /dev/shm
-
mount -t tmpfs shmfs -o size=4096m /dev/shm # make sure the size '4096' is greater than the 'memory_target' in the pfile.
