Preparing to Make the Changes

The space allocated for the physical log must be contiguous. A fatal shared-memory error occurs when you attempt to shut down and restart the database server in these situations:

• If you move the physical log to a dbspace without adequate contiguous space
• If you increase the log size beyond the available contiguous space, a fatal shared-memory error occurs when you attempt to restart the database server with the new values.

If this error occurs, resize the physical log, or choose another dbspace with adequate contiguous space and then shut down and restart the database server.
