Installing Informix Online (Solaris 2.5.1)
Posted in 1997
Whenever I install informix i get the following error in the online.log:
12:28:01 mt_shm_init: can't create virtual segment
Doing it a second time after setting some variables added some more errors:
14:09:00 shmget: [EEXIST][17]: key 52644801: shared memory already exists
14:09:00 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment
From what I've been told by a number of people, I need to make kernel
modifications to the Solaris 2.5.1 machine to those recommended by
Informix.
Question is, under a out-of-the-box system, which changes do I need to
make and how do I got about making them? Any advice would be helpful and
appreciated.
I'm not exactly a proficient sysadmin for Solaris and we're not sure
we'll use Informix yet so it isn't worth big problems if that is what
I'm going to face.
Thanks,
Jason
