Optimized Shared Memory & MEMORY_MAX_TARGET in Solaris 11.2 + Oracle 12c

Starting with 12c, Oracle Database uses the Optimized Shared Memory (OSM) model of Oracle Solaris on Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 or later and Oracle Solaris 11 SRU 7.5 or later systems to implement Automatic Memory Management.

OSM allows dynamic resizing of System Global Area (SGA) without restarting the instance. It does not use the oradism utility and swap disk space. OSM is NUMA-optimized.

If the column ALLOC shows an integer, it specifies that OSM is in use. If the column ALLOC shows a hyphen, it specifies that OSM is not in use.
