Can Oracle use shared memory in a Container?
In Solaris, Oracle uses ISM (Intimate Shared Memory) or DISM (Dynamic ISM). DISM is preferred because it provides more flexibility. ISM can be used in a Solaris Container, for any release of Solaris 10. Because we keep improving Containers, there are slightly different answers to the question “can DISM be used,” depending on the particular release of Solaris 10.
