Hi all,
We installed ASE 15.7 on RHEL 6.7 with Hugepages support on a server with 256GB memory.
ASE started fine with max memory of 120GB and logs indicate using Hugepages.

(1 row affected, return status = 0)
However, /dev/shm is not 120GB used, as seen below.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 127G 17G 110G 13% /dev/shm
17GB used is, tempdb devices are under /dev/shm.
Questions are:
1) When ASE uses /dev/shm ?
2) Is it good to put tempdb devices on /dev/shm ?
Thanks for your answers.
