May 23, 2017 ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system
Errors/Workarounds11gOracle Database Material

ERROR

SQL> startup nomount;

ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system

SOLUTION

[oracle@oel6 ~]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_oel6-lv_root
                       43G   15G   26G  37% /
tmpfs                1001M  212M  789M  22% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1             485M   55M  405M  12% /boot
.host:/               245G  126G  119G  52% /mnt/hgfs

Change the size of that files System by issuing the following command:

mount -t tmpfs shmfs -o size=2g /dev/shm

The shared memory file system should be big enough to accommodate the MEMORY_TARGET and MEMORY_MAX_TARGET values, else Oracle will throw the ORA-00845 error.

Note: While changing something with the mount command, the changes are not permanent.
To make the change persistent, edit your /etc/fstab file
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults,size=2G         0 0
