转：ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system

      今天晚上新装一台Oracle 11g的数据库，打算将SGA设大一点，知道 11g 中有一个新特新 MEMORY_TARGET，于是尝一下鲜，谁知报了个 ORA-00845，报错比较容易迷惑人，不借助Google真得想半天：

01 SQL> alter system set memory_max_target=3G scope=spfile ;
02
03 System altered.
04
05 SQL> alter system set memory_target=2G scope=spfile ;
06
07 System altered.
08
09 SQL>
10 SQL> shutdown immediate
11 Database closed.
12 Database dismounted.
13 ORACLE instance shut down.
14 SQL> startup ;
15 ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system

      来自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.

      简单来说就是 MEMORY_MAX_TARGET 的设置不能超过 /dev/shm 的大小：

1 [oracle@FWDB FWDB]$ df -h | grep shm
2 tmpfs                 2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev/shm

      还真是撞到这个枪口上了：

      马上把它加大：

1 [root@FWDB ~]# cat /etc/fstab | grep tmpfs
2 tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults,size=4G 0 0

      现在可以通过重启使这个配置生效，也可以通过重新挂载来修改其大小：

1 [root@FWDB ~]# mount -o remount,size=4G /dev/shm
2 [root@FWDB ~]# df -h | grep shm
3 tmpfs                 4.0G     0  4.0G   0% /dev/shm

      再次启动数据库，没有报错了。
