Help! Running Informix Online on SCO
Posted in 1997
Topics: General Discussion
We are struggling with getting Informix Online 7.2 to come up on SCO Open
Server Enterprise 5.0.2. I know it can be done, I have received emails from
many people stating that they are doing this successfully. And this
platform is supported by Informix. Our consenus is that we just have not
found the right settings for kernal parameters. We have methodically tried
many settings on many parameters and Informix just won't come up. This is
what we get in 'online.log' each time we do oninit:
16:43:02 shmat: [ENOMEM][12]: out of available data space, check systemMAXMEM
16:43:02 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment
This would seem to suggest that its not getting enough memory somehow. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. We have worked extensivly with Informix
tech support on this and they seem to be stumped too. The machine has 128
megs of RAM and will be dedicated to running one Informix application and
nothing else.
