Sort of a nubee type question ...
... I have a six year old HP NetServer LH3 that use to have SCO Unix and IDS
7.3 on it running with NetRaid (HP Hardware). I am attempting to put SuSe
Linux 8.0 and IDS 9.4UC3 on it.
I discovered that I could NOT get the Linux to recognize the HD's if NetRaid
wass enabled in the BIOS. I shut it off, fired up the Linux install and it
allowed me to see the drives (3 scsi's) and to partition them. Partitioning
shown following:
Device | Size | F |Type | Mount |Start|End
/dev/sda | 8.4 GB| |9.10GB A 80-DC1B| | 0|8677
/dev/sda1 | 106.0 MB| |Linux LVM | | 105
/dev/sda2 | 3.0 GB| |Linux LVM | | 106|3178
/dev/sda3 | 5.3 GB| |Linux LVM | | 3179|8677
/dev/sdb | 8.4 GB| |9.10GB A 80-DC1B| | 0|8677
/dev/sdb1 | 1.5 GB| |Linux LVM | | 0|1536
/dev/sdb2 | 3.0 GB| |Linux LVM | | 1537|4609
/dev/sdb3 | 1.0 GB| |Linux swap | | 4610|5634
/dev/sdb4 | 2.9 GB| |Linux LVM | | 5635|8677
/dev/sdc | 8.4 GB| |9.10GB A 80-DC1B| | 0|8677
/dev/sdc1 | 500.0 MB| |Linux swap |swap | 0| 499
/dev/sdc2 | 7.9 GB |Linux native |/ | 500|8677
/dev/rootvg| 15.9 GB │LVM rootvg | -- | -- |
You will notice that I set up the logical volume manager as well.
I then loaded the IDS 9.4 with everything in the proper order and the engine
installed.
However, after repairing the "Fatal error initializing ASF with
'ASF_INIT_DATA' flags asfcode = '25507'" by making the onconfig and
/etc/services correct (by changing the /usr/infomix/etc/sqlhosts file entry
NETTYPE ontlitcp to onsoctcp), I'm at the infamous "oninit: Fatal error in
shared memory creation".
I think I have all the things correct but don't know if the old box has
something in it that Linux/IDS doesn't like.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Jerry
