Abiy,
I'm
not positive, but it appears that the server's Shared Memory may not be
configured. Is the database started and open? I'm assuming not...if
in fact Oracle can't allocate the SGA in Shared Memory. You may need to
reconfigure your Shared Memory settings and recompile the UNIX Kernel.
Check to see if these shared memory settings exist first.

Subject: ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not existI have this error when I try to connect to a 8.1.7 database instance. I don't really know what's happening. To give just an information, on the server machine I've 2 database engines (7.3.4 and 8.1.7) and on both engines there are 2 or more instances running. I've only one listener.ora file for both engines, with the correct ORACLE_HOMESThank you folks ...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------@biy @lemuCril Telecom SoftwareFrance
