Livewire Informix Error on IRIX 5.3 (ASF_INIT_DATA)
Posted in 1996
Topics: Installation, Setup & Upgrades, Server Administration
I used to be an Informix 5.x DBA, but have been out of it for a while.
I recently got the Netscape Livewire Pro Beta (with Informix 7.1) and am
having problems bringing the engine up in IRIX 5.3. Others are
experiencing the exact same problems, but we are getting no help from
Netscape and are hoping that it is a problem that someone here can help
with.
After installing, I attempt an oninit -iy as specified in the readme.txt
and get the following error:
% oninit -iyoninit: Fatal error in initializing ASF with 'ASF_INIT_DATA' flags;
asfcode = '25507'.
There are tuneable parameters specified in the readme.txt file that need
to go in /etc/system. I'm assuming these are shared memory parameters,
so we attempted to change them with systune -i. Most were changed
successfully, but others were not tuneable to the parameters listed.
These are the parameters Netscape says to tune in the readme.txt file:
set enable_sm_wa = 1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=16777216
set semsys:seminfo_semmap=64
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semume=64
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
In addition, below is my hardware configuration. Thanks in advance for
your help!
