RE: Contiguous shared memory segment allocation failed at 0xd0000000

SHMBASE is different in your config from standard - why? How much shared memory is allocated to this instance (onstat -g seg) ? How many locks do you need for this process (16:10:23 dynamically allocated 100000 locks) ? OR you could lock the table. You need to configure LOCKS to what you require. When it adds locks it may require more shared memory! (I have forgotten whether there is a limit on the number of shared memory segments on AIX 5.2).
