Oracle 11gR2 on Solaris 11: ORA-00371: not enough shared pool memory during instance startup with default shared_pool_size

Posted by bnahlovsky in oracle on 2014/11/26

Dear folks,

today i ran into an oracle bug. On Oracle Solaris 11 the Database (11.2.0.4.3) will not start with default shared_pool_size in init.ora parameter-file.

SQL> startup nomount pfile=’/home/oracle/pfile/pinit.ora’;
ORA-00371: not enough shared pool memory, should be atleast ‘XXXXXX’ bytes

The paramter file pinit.ora contains no SHARED_POOL_SIZE parameter. To solve the problem please use the workaround of setting the SHARED_POOL_SIZE parameter to a sufficient value. This bug will be fixed in 12.1.

Oracle Documentation Note:
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1560386.1

The issue was investigated in the unpuplished Bug 13606499 – PHSB: DEFAULT MEMORY PARAMETER (INIT.ORA) IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO START A INSTANCE

Stay tuned,
Benedikt
