Have you read the release notes? grep -il kaio $INFORMIXDIR/release/*/* and check that you have all the requirements 2. Have you set RESIDENT to -1? To ensure that ALL segments get forced resident (even extra ones that get added). 3. Have you ensured that you have the appropriate mlock privelages for Informix? 4. Have you got enough RAM available to actually force resident > 100 Mb? See what top reports 5. I think you mean shared memory segments and not extents. 6. 7.30.UC6 is ... old (supported it may not be)
