Configuring IDS 7.3 uc2 on SCO 5.0.4, (RAW Devices ?)

Please can somebody help me with the installation of IDS 7.30 uc2 on Openserver 5.0.4. I have a P2-400, 256mb memory, 9gb hd with a 4 gig ntfs, 1.6gb sco, 2gb and 1gb available. I'm not sure if I've set up the raw devives properly. Fdisk 2gb and 1gb partition. divvy -m /dec/rhd01 & 02. Set up areas (mirror 25000 blocks, rootdbs 25000 blocks, chnk1-4. 8032 blocks have been reserved for the system) with NON FS option. This creates r"division name" in /dev. I have linked to this file, informix 660 etc. as it seems that it is the character kind and not the block (crw not brw). Where can I find info on raw devices (whch book in sco help)? Kernel params have been changed and relinked. I Keep getting this message. oninit: Fatal error in shared memory creation What is wrong ? Anybody have any ideas .....

Peter, you are doing just fine. The r<division-name> device, or the character device with 'c' at the beginning of the ls -l listing, IS the RAW device. The block device, named <division-name>, is the COOKED device and not the one you want to use. You did not mention it so I'll ask the dumb question: Did you boot the new kernel you built? Run oninit -i -v and see what it is trying to do when it bombs. Art S.

You should not change the SHMBASE in onconfig -- use the value shown in the default onconfig.std file (this is also documented in the Informix release notes for SCO) Although the Informix error message suggests the SHMBASE value is wrong -- the message may be misleading. This problem is probably caused by inadequate shared memory resources, mostly likely an insufficient value for SHMMAX. I think the default is only 524,288 bytes on SCO 5.0.4. SHMMAX must be greater than the total shared memory requirements for your engine. Run the SCO kernel configuration manager or manually edit the appropriate configiration files to increase the value of SHMMAX to satisfy your total shared memory needs, re-link and reboot. I think this should solve your problem. If you are using fairly large amounts of shared memory, you may need to increase MAXUMEM as well. "Art S. Kagel" wrote: > Peter, you are doing just fine.
