The host ran out of disk space and ASM and the RDBMS were unable to create audit files.
The environment was shutdown to correct this.
After freeing up space the ASM instance is unable to start reporting the following errors

Ora 27125 unable to create shared memory segment linux
Building a single Oracle10G on CentOS6, starting after the completion of the shutdown, the error message is as follows:
[[email protected] ~]# su - oracle [[email protected] ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba SQL> startup; ORA-27125: unable to create shared memory segment Linux-x86_64 Error: 1: Operation not permitted SQL> Disconnected
ORA-27125: unable to create shared memory segment
Linux-x86_64 Error: 1: Operation not permitted
Database version: Release 10.2.0.1.0
analysis:
The root source is that Linux errors, the system is not allowed by issues such as permission, so the database cannot create a shared memory segment. You need to use hugepage when you create a shared memory segment, and the system will perform permission restrictions.
Solution:
temporary plan: Query the group ID of the DBA group, add it to the system kernel, as follows:
[[email protected] ~]$ id oracle uid=500(oracle) gid=500(oinstall) groups=500(oinstall),501(dba) # Switch to root users to add [[email protected] ~]# echo 501 > /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_shm_group

Temporary program, the method of failing after the system is restarted, the permanent change is as follows

How to Resolve ORA-27125: unable to create shared memory segment
We found error ORA-27125 when we create the second database by Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA).
ORA-27125 means that oracle has been bound to the limit of maximum shared memory in UNIX server, you should check the maximum shared memory, then raise it.
Solutions
There’re 3 ways to solve this error.
Increase Shard Memory
To increase the shared memory limit ( max-shm-memory ) in Solaris, you may do this:
root@test:~# projmod -sK «project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,20GB,deny)» user.oracle
In this case, we raised the limit of maximum shared memory to 20GB. Let’s see the result.
root@test:~# projects -l user.oracle
user.oracle
projid : 100
comment: «Oracle Products»
users : (none)
groups : (none)
attribs: process.max-sem-nsems=(privileged,256,deny)
project.max-sem-ids=(privileged,256,deny)
project.max-shm-ids=(privileged,256,deny)
project.max-shm-memory=(privileged, 21474836480 ,deny)
Shutdown Unnecessary Processes
If the physical memory is very tight and you don’t want to raise the shared memory, then all you can do is to close unnecessary oracle processes. Furthermore, you can shutdown other databases before starting this one.
System Reboot
Sometimes, we might have already configured the shared memory far enough for Oracle to create or startup another database. In such case, a system reboot is necessary to flush something cached in the system.
For more about project creation, you may check the post: How to Install Oracle Database 19c on Solaris.
Java Solutions
You got the below error when starting up the Oracle database.
ORA-27125: unable to create shared memory segment
Linux-x86_64 Error: 28: No space left on device

This occurs when the Kernel parameter kernel.shmall is too small.
Follow the steps below to fix the problem.
1. Determine the page size.
2. Determine the Total System Global Area (SGA).
Total System Global Area 6442450944 bytes
Variable Size 3892316248 bytes
Database Buffers 2533359616 bytes
Redo Buffers 13836288 bytes
3. Calculate the recommended value for shmall.
With SGA = 6 GB and PAGE_SIZE = 4096, the shmall is
shmall = 6 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 / 4096 = 1572864
4. Update the kernel.shmall parameter.
Login the Linux machine as root.
Scroll down to find kernel.shmall and change it’s value to 1572864.
* If you could not find the SGA at step 2, you may try to double the current value of shmall.
7. Login to the Oracle database as sysdba and start the database.
