解决Linux上11g的ORA-00845错误

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:

ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system

======================= ALERT.LOG======================

Starting ORACLE instance (normal)
WARNING: You are trying to use the MEMORY_TARGET feature. 
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，具体可以参考下图:

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:

[root@rh2 ~]# umount /dev/shm
umount: /dev/shm: device is busy
umount: /dev/shm: device is busy

[root@rh2 ~]# ls /dev/shm
JOXSHM_EXT_0_PROD1_8323079   JOXSHM_EXT_25_PROD1_8323079  ora_+ASM1_7569414_11  
JOXSHM_EXT_10_PROD1_8323079  JOXSHM_EXT_26_PROD1_8323079  ora_+ASM1_7569414_12  
............

/* 可以看到如果ASM实例也使用AMM的话同样会在/dev/shm目录下产生内存映像 
    为了umount该装载点，我们不得不首先shutdown ASM instance ! */

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
