Re: I can't bring up the KAIO on IDS 7.30 under SCO Open Server.

I manage to get KAIO on SCO Open Server with the following steps: - enable aio and suds support in kernel - edit /etc/conf/sdevice.d/suds so that N will become Y - enable aio with command mkdev aio - compile new kernel and reboot machine - install patch for suds oss441a - configure kernel parameters: NAIOPROC =16 NAIOREQ =200 NAIOBUF =200 NAIOHBUF =50 NAIOREQPP =200 NAIOLOCKTBL=20 - if you use SCSI disks configure parameter SDSKOUT - export environment variable KAIOON=1 I have to say that I have problem with KAIO on SCO ODT5. After 2 or 3 days running machine was slowed down. The only thing which helps was reboot. I was not able to solve this problem, so I move to Linux and on Linux Informix works FAST.
