Increasing the size of the SGA

Hello all.
I am having a memory allocation problem on Tru64 (4.0f & 5.0a).
I am running Tru64 4.0f system with 6gig of memory & a Tru64 5.0a system
with 5gigs of memory. I wish to allocate all (well nearly all) of the
memory to Oracle. Unfortunately, I have been unable to get Oracle to use
over 2gigs of memory. I believe this is limited by the kernel parameter
shm-max (shm-max specifies the max size of a single shared memory region)
which can be no larger than 2147483647 (2 gigs). I have set this value to
2147483647 (2 gigs) and watched the memory usage grow accordingly! However,
management believes I should be able to allocate all the memory to Oracle.
Does anyone know how to overcome this limitation????

regards,
David
