Why should I force Informix to use only 1 VIRT segment? I assume you are referring to shared memory. I'm bringing up 7.23.UC5 on HP-UX 10.10. The production machine will be 2 processors, 1 gb memory. I'm starting on 1 processor, 128 mb memory. This is still pre-production, so I've got play time. Please cc via e-mail; my newshost is not reliable.
