Have you checked your release notes? , I think this is a problem with
the communication method you are using, try to use an alternate one,
I would like to see your sqlhosts , are you using ipc through shared
memory? onipcshm, then try to initialize through the network, even if
you are standalone, and specifying your services in the /etc/services
files. then instead of onipcshm Net type parameter, your configuration
should look like ontlitcp or onsoctcp.
I hope this helps,
