ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system

ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system

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：

?

SQL> alter system set memory_max_target=3G scope=spfile ;

System altered.

SQL> alter system set memory_target=2G scope=spfile ;

System altered.

SQL>
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup ;
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：

[oracle@FWDB FWDB]$ df -h | grep shm
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：

[root@MHD-DB-SERVER oradata]# df -h | grep shm
tmpfs 15G 4.8G 11G 32% /dev/shm
[root@MHD-DB-SERVER oradata]# vi /etc/fstab
