RE: anyone tried IDS/IUS on solaris 7 yet?

I too downloaded IDS 7.3 UC 2 for Solaris 2.6 on the Intel platform and experienced this error : 10:27:23 Requested shared memory segment size rounded from 888KB to 16384KB 10:27:23 shmat: [ENOMEM][12]: out of available data space, check system MAXMEM 10:27:23 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment This was on a box with 32 meg of ram. I ended up setting SHMTOTAL to 1 half of available memory (16 meg) and the engine came up fine. > -----Original Message----- > From: The Joelman [SMTP:jwisne1@gl.umbc.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 1998 12:49 PM > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: Re: anyone tried IDS/IUS on solaris 7 yet? > > > I installed IDS 7.3 UC 2 on Solaris 7 but haven't gotten the database > setup correctly.
