Disable DISM

Dynamic Intimate Shared Memory (DISM) is not supported for use on Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 Oracle Solaris environments in instances other than the ASM instance. For more information, see DISM Restrictions.


Note - Do not disable the use of automatic shared memory management (ASMM) within the database, which is a very useful and desirable feature to reduce DBA management of the database.
  • Disable the use of DISM by the database on Oracle Solaris in one of two ways; either unsetting the SGA_MAX_SIZE / MEMORY_MAX_TARGET / MEMORY_TARGET parameters, or ensure SGA_MAX_SIZE is set to the same value as SGA_TARGET parameter or equal to the sum of all sga components in the instance.
    • For example, to set a 64 G SGA:
       
      alter system set SGA_TARGET=64G scope=spfile;
      alter system set SGA_MAX_SIZE=64G scope=spfile;
      alter system set MEMORY_MAX_TARGET=0 scope=spfile;
      alter system set MEMORY_TARGET=0 scope=spfile;
