SUMMARY: Solaris10 resource control - max-shm-memory

Thanks to all who responded. In all I got responses from

o Casper.Dik@Sun,  who said:

   (The old limit was the maximum size *per segment*; the new limit is
   the maximum shared memory allowed, total)

o Joe Webpro <aielloster@gmail.com>, who said:
  ...."I had spotty
	luck using projects and simply continue to use the /etc/system entries
	which globally sets the max shared memory value."

o peter.van.gemert@accenture.com>, who said:

  Resource controls on projects are enforced on all process in a project.
  All process combined together will have a 4GB shared memory set. Is not
  set per process but it's a limit on the project.

  One process in your project will have a 4GB shared memory set. Ten
  processes will also have one 4GB shared memory set.

o Usama Zubair" <uzubair@hotmail.com>, who said:

  It is for combined usage.

o Deborah Crocker <crock@bama.ua.edu>, who said:

  Each is entitled to 4Gb. What they actually take, of course, is set in
  the oracle init.ora (or spfile) for the instance. Note that the default
  is 1/4 of memory, so on a 16Gb machine you would already have this.
