Connie,

HPUX 11.0 is a bit memory hungry.

You would need to leave some memory for the OS before allocating to the 
SGAs else your system will start swapping / paging.

Before allocating memory to the SGA's leave some to the HPUX buffer, 
Unix OS, users logging onto the box.

Check what size the the Unix buffer is set to.

Use top and glance performance monitor to check how memory is already
used (and free) even before your allocate to the SGA's.

We have 6 databases on one HPUX box (not my idea) that has 3GB RAM.  In
this type of situation, can the total of the 6 databases SGAs add up to
3GB?   Are there any special types of calculations that should be done
in this type of situation to determine optimal performance sizing for
the databases?
