Have You checked your kernel parameters with 'sysdef'? By using the original Semaphore Parameters without changes i had also a limit on 2 Instances at one time. I have often to initialize 4 or 8 Instances on a server for trainings. If you have a Question to my SCO-Open-Server-5-Kernel-Parameters Please contact me Ruediger
