kernel rebuild

[breaz25]

I had a request from the DBA to change the kernel parm SHMMAX for oracle database. Where do I change and how do I rebuild kernel on aix 4.3.3 platform. I am familar with HPUX and Tru64 kernel rebuilds.

Thanks for your help

Hi breaz

As aix memory management is dynamic u need not allocate any
shared memory segments.Oracle DBA can do this on his side...

Please look at this link for more comprehension on shared memory

hi,

in AIX kernel is dynamic and dont need to be recompiled.

When you install Oracle, follow its instruction to AIX
installation: using scripts coming with Oracle, you
necessary modify system parameters.

I remember that a reboot is required, thing almost
strange for AIX.

bye
