OUT OF SEMAPHORES -25580

Posted in 2000

Summary

The original poster could not initialize Informix 7.3 UC2 on SCO OpenServer 5.0.4, getting 'system out of semaphores' and asfcode -25580. Tom advised raising SEMMAP, SEMMNI and SEMMNS to 8192 in stune and rebuilding the kernel. Paul Watson said to check the release notes for recommended shm/sem settings and rebuild the kernel. Watawinona replied with a dismissive remark. No confirmation of a fix.

Check the release notes and make sure the shm/sem settings are at least the as large as those recommended, rebuild the kernel and you should be OK doons@bsi.co.za wrote: > > I am trying to initialize an informix database (7.3 UC2) running on SCO > Openserver 5.0.4 but I keep getting this message > > (2) failure, system out of semaphores > oninit: Fatal error in initializing ASF with 'ASF_INIT_DATA' flags; asfcode > = '-25580' > > What is wrong > > Thanks -- Paul Watson # WF Software Ltd # You are only young once Tel: +44 1436 674729 # but you can be immature Fax: +44 1436 678693 # for ever www.wfsoftware.com #
