Check your settings of SHMBASE, SHMVIRTSIZE, SHMADD and BUFFERS in your onconfig. Sensible values just to get you running are: BUFFERS 20000 SHMBASE 0x10000000L SHMVIRTSIZE 73536 SHMADD 32768 If this doesn't work I would try and see if you can get the server up with a new rootdbs completely separate from anything you're using now, the default onconfig with perhaps some adjustments to point to the right log files, your new rootdbs and anything else you think appropriate. Don't use a 7.30 onconfig for a 9.40 server. Initialise the server with "oninit -ivy" and see what you get. What displays on the console when you initialise the server? Ben.
