Re: IDS GE license restriction limits warning messages...

Good catch Art, fixed that but as you have stated it had nothing to do with it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Art Kagel" <art.kagel@gmail.com> To: "June Nebab" <jnebab@idealcut.com> Cc: "jrenaut" <jprenaut@yahoo.com>, informix-list@iiug.org Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2010 1:59:58 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: IDS GE license restriction limits warning messages... June: This one setting, at least, is not correct: SHMNOACCESS cpu,num=1,noage This looks like your SHMNOACCESS and VPCLASS settings got combined somehow. Don't think this has anything to do with the warning you are seeing, but.... Art Art S.

If that is turned on, then when trying to start up the server and create the initial shared memory segments, the oninit process will open up /proc/meminfo looking for HugePages_Free and Hugepagesize. I'm not familiar with this concept on Linux, but I would assume it is some sort of OS configuration thing. From the message you got, it would appear that we found Hugepagesize set to be 0 from our query to /proc/meminfo, at which point we would no longer attempt to use that feature.
