We are using 32 bit rhel 4 u5.Our database version Oracle 10g R2.
My Physical Memory(RAM)=16gb
SGA_MAX_SIZE=2G
SGA_TARGET=2G
kernel.shmmax=2G
Now I want to change SGA_MAX_SIZE to 6 GB
BUT ORA 27102 error occured.
HERE I have given the details procedure:
1st I have checked the physical memory in 3 different way:

This is a 32bit Oracle install, not a 64bit install. The OS would also be 32bit.
You'd need to configure VLM to address >4GB

Hi - with 32bit Linux, your technique can't work. I think you'll need to use the Linux PAE kernel, and then configure your SGA with
use_indirect_data_buffers=true
db_block_buffers=something-big
rather than using automatic shared memory management.
[update: typo]

With a 32-bit os, each process can only see 4gb of ram natively. The os will map some of that ram to itself. I have had struggles getting sga's over 1.8 gb no matter what you set sga_max to. Remember also that all processes including connection threads need to fit into that 4gb footprint. Also - you really can only increase your buffer cache by implementing pae - not the sga. If the machine is 64-bit capable you are much better off implementing 64-bit os and oracle to utilize the 16gb of ram you have in the box.

very sorry for not to implement your advice.Actually I did not understand properly whatever u said.
1st should I enter use_indirect_data_buffers =true in pfile?
2nd DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS=something big means?
our os linux RHEL 4 U5
I have checked that the range of DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS is 50 to an operating system-specific maximum
IF I enter this parameter in pfile,then what about db_block_size which already in my pfile with value 8k.
should i close the sga_target parameter after entering use_indirect_data_buffers =true in pfile?
I am requesting u to help me to understand the matter properly.
please,please help me.

Do some arithmetic. You know your block size, divide that into the size you want your buffer cache to be.
Quote:should i close the sga_target parameter after entering use_indirect_data_buffers =true in pfile? Yes (if by "close" you mean "remove"?)
