Vedr: Allocating shared memory IBM S80 / AIX 4.3.3 / IDS 7.3

--0__=j0etU4NWjMW6B6iYutEhs1skC24BNfEfQvzRAblh9Ps3KSUGE8R5KrK8 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Have you checked how many shm segments the server has allocate before i= t stopped ?? On AIX the Informix server can only allocate 8 shm segment. To avoid problems with this limit you have to increase the initial shm segment s= ize. In the onconfig-file you have to set these two parameters: SHMVIRTSIZE 819200 # initial virtual shared memory segment= size -- 800MB SHMADD 102400 # Size of new shared memory segments (Kbytes) --- 100MB x 7 Hope this can help.

I obtain the following messages ... shmat: [EMFILE][24]: out of shared memory segments, check system SHMSEG shmdt: errno = 22 (5) shm creation of shmem segment failed I cannot increase the number of BUFFERS nor than the SHMVIRSIZE. Does a limit exist ? /etc/security/limits has been modified to -1 for all parameters. Does anyone know a platform with huge database server. Configuration of S80 is 16 Gbytes and 18 processors.
