shared memory ininitialization problem

Greetings! We're in trouble because we can't initialize shared memory. What might be the problem? Here is an excerpt from the error log, showing the different types of error messages we have got so far: 10:21:39 shmget: [EEXIST][17]: key 52564801: shared memory alreadyexists 10:21:39 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment 11:51:00 shmat: [EMFILE][24]: out of shared memory segments, checksystem SHMSEG 11:51:00 mt_shm_init: can't create virtual segment Trying to solve this one... 10:21:39 shmget: [EEXIST][17]: key 52564801: shared memory alreadyexists 10:21:39 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment we removed the process with the key 52564801 (had to become su first, because owner = root ). Then we changed Shared memory parameters in the onconfig file, ran oninit -s, but then we have got the second type of error message. Is it a Unix (Solaris) or Informix problem? Where is the place to look at for documentation?
