Hi Mark, How much memory do you have on the system? By default, Solaris now allows a user to allocate up to 1/4 of that for shared memory. If you don't have 80G or more, the allocation will fail.
You can change that by altering the project value for the user for project.max-shm-memory. See "man projmod" for details.
