Poking around metalink I found a reference to a utility called sysresv (note 123322.1). According to the document it displays the id and key for each for the shared memory segments which the Oracle instances have created.
I tried it on an AIX 4.3 system running three Oracle instances and it does not work. Example: # sysresv -l vdev delmia ngcdev IPC Resources for ORACLE_SID "vdev" : Shared Memory ID KEY No shared memory segments used Oracle Instance not alive for sid "vdev" IPC Resources for ORACLE_SID "delmia" : Shared Memory ID KEY No shared memory segments used Oracle Instance not alive for sid "delmia" IPC Resources for ORACLE_SID "ngcdev" : Shared Memory ID KEY No shared memory segments used Oracle Instance not alive for sid "ngcdev" If I do Aipcs -m | grep oracle I get: m 1179648 0xf50105e0 --rw-r----- oracle oinstall m 1179649 0xfa5fbc28 --rw-r----- oracle oinstall m 2 0x02da4bbc --rw-r----- oracle oinstall Anyone else have similar experiences?
