Shared memory problem

Hi, I am using IDS Workgroup edition 7.30 on SCO unix 5.0.0. When I try to startup informix, I get several warnings: WARNING: Shared memory could not be directly allocated. Informix is working OK after startup. I set kernel parameters like release notes says. Can anybody tell me what is the meaning of the warning. Thanks in advance. +--------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Zeljan Silje | e-mail: zeljan@laus.hr | | CC Computer Consulting | | | Put Republike 7 | Tel: +385 (20) 356-877 | | 20 000 Dubrovnik | Fax: +385 (20) 356-877 | | Hrvatska (Croatia) | URL: http://www.laus.hr | +--------------------------+-----------------------------+

You have RESIDENT set to 1 and the size of the resident segment (see onstat -g seg) is larger than available physical memory that can be locked. This may be because of an OS tunable limiting the amount of memory that can be locked into residency (PERCENTLOCKABLE in DGUX) or you may just not have enough free RAM. Art S. Kagel
