Reynolds > email: rsr@rogerware.com rsr@softix.com > Web: http://www.rogerware.com I installed IDS 7.3 UC 2 on Solaris 7 but haven't gotten the database setup correctly. This is on a dual Pentium II machine. I downloaded the evaluation (try & buy) for Solaris 2.6 Intel and installed it successfully. When I try to initialize shared memory I get this message in the online.log: 12:05:58 Requested shared memory segment size rounded from 888KB to 16384KB 12:05:58 shmat: [EINVAL][22]: shared memory base address illegal 12:05:58 using 0xe0000000, needs 0xdfd6e000 12:05:58 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment Now, in my onconfig file I have the SHMBASE set to 0xdfd6e000 as it has recommended - originally that value was set to 0x50000000L. So now I have no idea what to try. And I called Informix's "Tech Support" 800 number. The guy couldn't tell if they offered a Solaris 2.7 for intel version of IDS! He saw that they had a Solaris 2.7 SPARC IDS but said I had to call a salesperson to see if there's a 2.7 Intel IDS available! But I guess this report conflicts with the other - maybe they sell it but don't "certify" it?? If anyone else has some wisdom or experience on this it'd be nice to hear from you! ___________________________________________________________________________ | Joel H.
