AIK: ORA-00845: "MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system"
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 19.01
Problem Symptoms:
Error in running AIK: ORA-00845 "MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system".
Cause:
/dev/shm is less than MEMORY_TARGET (or MEMORY_MAX_TARGET):
Resolution:
There is 4 Gig of memory; more of it needs to be "shared memory" -- so that /dev/shm Available is greater than MEMORY_TARGET.
Additional Information
/exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/AIK21/log/db_target.log shows:
*.memory_target=1536m
while df -m /dev/shm shows:
aleph@library(a21_1) XXX01> df -m /dev/shm
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 1975 1296 680 66% /dev/shm
680m is less than 1536m, so /dev/shm is less than memory_target. This means that, while this database wants to have 1,536M shm (shared memory), this server "library" has only 680M available.
