Large memory segment vs smaller ones
Dennis: One segment is better than many, so whenever you see several virtual segments it is best to increase SHMVIRTSIZE to incorporate all of that into a single initial segment unless you know that the increase was caused by an unusual event such as a large session that runs say…

Memory issue on Informix primary server
Amit: All of those additional virtual segments are in use. I think that the only thing you can do is merge them all into the initial SHMVIRTSIZE and increase the SHMADD size by 10X or more. Solaris is REALLY slow to allocate shared memory, so the fewer segments the better. Art --…
Shared Memory
Yes, you can set SHMVIRTSIZE parameter to 6375342 KB in ONCONFIG file . Please take into account, whether you are using of mgm facility for DSS queries or not? I mean at first use of "onstat –g mgm" and investigate in output to find out, you are using of DSS Queries or not?. If…
