shared memory problem

On 7.2.0, I'm getting a message in the log that is as follows: 14:34:11 shmat: [EINVAL][22]: shared memory base address illegal 14:34:11 using 0xd0000000, needs 0xffffffff 14:34:11 out of virtual shared memory Could someone explain this for me and suggest a remedy?

Hi David. Plz. supply your $ONCONFIG file. Reviewing your kernel parameters would be good. If your server is still running, output from onstat -g seg may be helpful.

Here is the onstat -g seg...and it's 7.3 and 7.2.... $onstat -g seg Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.30.UC7 -- On-Line -- Up 1 days 11:19:51 -- 9 2272 Kbytes Segment Summary: id key addr size ovhd class blkused blkfree 262156 1381386241 30000000 27574272 1280 R 3358 8 262158 1381386242 40000000 8192000 724 V 1000 0 262160 1381386243 50000000 2195456 632 M 260 8 131085 1381386244 60000000 8388608 724 V 370 654 19 1381386245 70000000 8388608 724 V 267 757 20 1381386246 80000000 8388608 724 V 260 764 21 1381386247 90000000 8388608 724 V 179 845 22 1381386248 a0000000 8388608 724 V 119 905 23 1381386249 b0000000 8388608 724 V 166 858 24 1381386250 c0000000 8388608 724 V 158 866 Total: - - 96681984 - - 6137 5665 (* segment locked in memory)

Check in the files $INFORMIXDIR/release/0333/en_us/IDS* $INFORMIXDIR/release/0333/en_us/ONLINE* You probably need to add an entry for SHMBASE into the ONCONFIG file. Also increase SHMVIRTSIZE so that onstat -g seg only shows 1 segment of type 'V'. -- David Williams

Usually due to the kernel parameter SHMMAX not being high enough.
