Unrecognized shared memory "entry"

2007-12-24 22:08:00

Hi folks,

We're running an Oracle 8.1.7.2 database on a Sun 420R, Solaris
2.6.

Recently we had a look at the shared memory allocation via the
'ipcs -a'
command and noticed that there is a "no-entry" listing in the
semaphore
section:

$ ipcs -a
IPC status from <running system> as of Sun Mar 10 15:07:42 2002
Message Queue facility not in system.
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP CREATOR
CGROUP NATTCH SEGSZ CPID LPID ATIME DTIME CTIME
Shared Memory:
m 0 0x50000a88 --rw-r--r-- root root root
root 1 68 248 248 21:24:00 21:24:00 21:24:00
m 1301 0x03309dc4 --rw-rw---- oracle dba oracle
dba 15 687087616 14289 14409 15:06:06 15:06:08 15:04:26
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP CREATOR
CGROUP NSEMS OTIME CTIME
Semaphores:
s 3801088 0xe8945334 --ra-ra---- oracle dba oracle
dba 152 15:05:09 15:04:36
s 1048577 0xe8945335 --ra-ra---- oracle dba oracle
dba 152 no-entry 15:04:36
s 851970 0xe8945336 --ra-ra---- oracle dba oracle
dba 152 15:04:39 15:04:36

This doesn't appear on any of our other Solaris 2.6, 2.7 or 2.8
servers.

Does anyone know what the "no-entry" semaphore listing means?

The specific OS version is:

$ uname -a
SunOS scmsdb01 5.6 Generic_105181-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
