From .../postgresql-7.0.3/doc/FAQ_Solaris (from the postgresql source
distribution):
1.3) Why am I getting "IpcMemoryCreate" errors when I try
to run the postmaster?
(See also 3.4 in the main FAQ file)
Under Solaris 2.6 and probably others, the default shared memory
maximum segment size kernel parameter is set too low. The solution
is to put something like the following line into /etc/system and
reboot the system.
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0x7fffffff
Excellent info regarding shared memory under Solaris can be found here:
