Installing IDS 7.30 on SCO Open Sever 5.0.7

Hi, I'm trying to migrate our Informix Dynamic Server 7.30 UC2 system from SCO Open Server 5.0.4 to a system running Open Server 5.0.7. Every time I try to bring it online I get the following error message in the log file: 15:27:43 PANIC: Attempting to bring system down 15:32:33 shmctl: errno = 1 15:32:33 Shared memory segment 0x82000000 could not be forced resident.

One worked and was deployed, the other did not and was reverted back to 5.0.5 Informix tech support did not have much in the way of answers. We ordered updates to (IIRC) 7.25 a few months ago, but are still waiting, so I am unsure if this will help. Two things to keep in mind: programs compiled on 5.0.7 will not run on prior versions unless they have a few patches installed. I am unsure but think these patches are not available for 5.0.4 - something to research. Second, Informix will not be releasing any more updates for some (all?) SCO products - http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/ids/sco-update.html I wish you the best of luck, though. -- Scott Burns Mirrabooka Systems Tel +61 7 3857 7899 Fax +61 7 3857 1368
