下午想把一个11.2.0.2实例的memory_target AMM内存初始化参数修改到2000M，改好后重启发现实例起不来了，出现了ORA-00845错误:
[oracle@rh2 ~]$ [oracle@rh2 ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdbaSQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Tue May 3 19:43:50 2011Copyright (c) 1982, 2010, Oracle.

This feature requires the /dev/shm file system to be mounted for at least 2097152000 bytes. /dev/shm is either not mounted or is mounted with available space less than this size. Please fix this so that MEMORY_TARGET can work as expected. Current available is 1871466496 and used is 200790016 bytes. Ensure that the mount point is /dev/shm for this directory.memory_target needs larger /dev/shm
看起来是因为采用了Automatic Memory Management的特性，所以Oracle采用了一种基于POSIX的共享内存使用风格，在AMM中Oracle不像之前版本那样利用”一整块”内存作为SGA，而是使用一块块小的”chunk”，以满足SGA与PGA之前交换内存的目的
针对上述ORA-00845错误，我们需要修改映射内存文件夹/dev/shm的装载参数，针对正在运行的Linux操作系统，可以remount这个tmpfs装载点，如:

上述umount/mount的方式只在操作系统的此次生命周期中生效，如果重启的话shmfs目录仍会以默认方式装载；如果需要永久生效的话，我们需要修改系统参数文件/etc/fstab中的shm条目:
/* 修改前的shm装载参数 */[root@rh2 ~]# grep shm /etc/fstab tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0/* 修改后的shm装载参数 */[root@rh2 ~]# grep shm /etc/fstab tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,size=4000m 0 0
