Hi folks,
We're running an Oracle 8.1.7.2 database on a Sun 420R, Solaris 2.6. Recently we had a look at the shared memory allocation via the 'ipcs -a' command and noticed that there is a "no-entry" listing in the semaphore section: $ ipcs -a IPC status from <running system> as of Sun Mar 10 15:07:42 2002 Message Queue facility not in system.

Does anyone know what the "no-entry" semaphore listing means?
