Re: shared memory not initialized

Thanks Andreas, The system is resolving the host name fine. uname -n reports informix. when i ping informix, i get a reply from the correct IP, 192.168.26.66 Still no luck Tom On Aug 9, 4:55 am, Andreas Breitfeld <abrei...@de.ibm.com> wrote: > Maybe my hint regarding the 'setarch' command is not the solution of > your problem.

Looks like your environment is a real challenge for installing IDS;-) I would propose you should try a new install: 1. reboot your machine 2. move your old installation away 3. follow the instructions for installing and configuring an example instance of IDS at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0603breitfeld/#N10196 4. if 'oninit -iv' fails with the same error, then change onconfig parameter SHMBASE to 0x10000000L , reboot your machine and run 'oninit -iv' 5. if this fails again, reboot your machine and run oninit with strace command as root (with set environment ids.env from the example above): strace -o /tmp/oninit.strace -f oninit -ivy 6. Please 'gzip /tmp/oninit.strace' and send /tmp/oninit.strace.gz to my Email address. 7. Please add output of following command: cat /procs/$$/maps Andreas On Friday 10 August 2007 06:34, tom.priore@gmail.com wrote: > Thanks Andreas, > > The system is resolving the host name fine. > uname -n reports informix. > when i ping informix, i get a reply from the correct IP, > 192.168.26.66 > > Still no luck > > Tom > > On Aug 9, 4:55 am, Andreas Breitfeld <abrei...@de.ibm.com> wrote: > > Maybe my hint regarding the 'setarch' command is not the solution > > of your problem.

Hi Tom. Just a thought. Is your machine available iptables (firewall) ? Here is my result. No rules is setting. # /sbin/iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination If you can see any rules in your machine, you need configure iptables entry using GUI or iptable command.
