It looks to me like you must not have SysV shared memory support enabled
at all. I have no idea where to turn that on in Solaris ... there is
some info in the PG Admin Guide, which may or may not help:
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.3/postgres/kernel-resources.html#SYSVIPC

Also, I'd suggest pestering Verity to adopt a more modern release of
Postgres. You appear to be running 7.0 or something even older.
