His database version is Oracle 11g R2.
I tried to start up database but it raised :
SQL> startup
ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system
SQL> exit
Hmmmmm, that`s new for me, never faced before.
Checked disk space
[root@localhost ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 209G 27G 171G 14% /
/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 903G 265G 592G 31% /oradata
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 99M 24M 71M 26% /boot
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm
[root@localhost ~]#
Increased tmpfs size. To do that open fstab file via any editable program (gedit, vi etc)
[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/fstab
...
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,size=8G
(Some one decreased this value that is was reason)
[root@localhost ~]# more /etc/fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/oradata /oradata ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,size=8G 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
LABEL=SW-cciss/c0d0p2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
To make change effective immediately run:
[root@localhost ~]# mount -o remount /dev/shm
Check
[root@localhost ~]# df -h

[root@localhost ~]#
Let`s start a database
[oracle@localhost dbs]$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"
