RE: Two different instances with IDS 7.31

well you need to give us the error messege when you say oninit them we can start from there. Then you need to check that yuo onconfig is set prparly for the second instance and usually it is the env problem -----Original Message----- From: Murray Wood [mailto:murray@quanta.co.nz] Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 1:48 AM To: 'Informix List (IIUG)' Subject: RE: Two different instances with IDS 7.31 There could be many reasons... And what did your online log tell you (us) regarding the reason it could not start? Start oninit using the v (verbose) option.

I'm sorry but I have to give you some technical data: 1) Host: Sun Ultra-10 / Solaris 7 - 128 MB RAM 2) The /etc/system file was configured in accordance with the release note of the engine 7.31, in this way: set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=268435456 set semsys:seminfo_semmap=64 set semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096 set semsys:seminfo_semmns=4096 set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=4096 set semsys:seminfo_semume=64 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=100 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100 set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100 (I tell you I'm not an expert configuring shared memory and kernel parameters !!!). 3) I could start one instance but not the second. The on-line instance has the following shared memory parameters: Max # of Bufferes: 20000 Resident shared memory size: 43626 KB The second not initialized instance has set: Max # of buffers: 1000 Resident shared memory size: 12090 KB When I tried to initialize the second instance, I got the following sign: "Shared memory not initialized for INFORMIXSERVER 'ol_test_shm'. I ask you: what could be the error ??? What should I modify to start my 2 instances ??? Thanks a lot !!! Alejandro Cabrera Obed http://www.sisdis.gov.ar E-mail: sisdis@tournet.com.ar Bs.
