5818.0. "install-e-notshradr, how to solve?" by RULLE::LUNDEBORG () Wed Apr 02 1997 10:56

    
    
    	Hi!
    	I have a customer who runs 40 AXP-sattellites, VMS V6.2-1H3 and
    Motif V1.2-4 and Open 3D V3.4, which all have this problem. We have
    tried to move the startup for decwindows earlier in the startup as
    mentioned in other notes-entries but it doesn't fix it the whole way.
    The only thing that really does it is to define the logical
    "DECW$IGNORE_SHARE_ADDRESS TRUE" but this solution isn't good enough
    for the customer. He feels like he loosing to much memory/performance
    with it. Has anyone else any idea what to try with??

What problem?  Was this intended as a reply to a previous note?

What error messages are they seeing during startup?  Please post a complete
log.

What is the value of the GH_RSRVPGCNT parameter?  This parameter is
temporarily boosted during system startup and then lowered, which can
prevent DECwindows from starting if it isn't started during the initial
boot.  But increasing GH_RSRVPGCNT (to 512, I think) allows DECwindows to
be started at any time without having to define DECW$IGNORE_SHARE_ADDRESS
to TRUE.

	Sorry, I missed a part in the middle, but here are the errors that
    he gets when motif are starting.
    
    We have tried to rise the parameter GH_RSRVPGCNT to 1024 but the
    problem is still there.  Any more ideas?

"Virtual address is already in use" looks like the images might already be
installed.  Once images are installed with shared linkage they can't be
replaced.

Is DECwindows starting normally despite the error messages?  If not,
how is it failing, i.e. is the server starting but the login box fails to
come up?

    If you ignore the errorprintout everything works ok. I have included
    DECw-logfiles below.

Could they be starting DECwindows twice?  DECwindows is started by default
in sys$startup:vms$lpbegin-050_startup.com, so make sure they aren't also
starting it in systartup_vms.com.

The error message "DECW$XLIBSHR is not installed with shareable address
data" is interesting.  Make sure they don't have an old decw$xlibshr.exe image
in sys$specific:[syslib], or any decw$*.exe images in sys$specific:[syslib] or
sys$specific:[sysexe] for that matter.

5818.6This solved it!!RULLE::LUNDEBORGWed Apr 09 1997 07:2610
    
    	YES!!!
    
    That did it. We looked through the startup once more and found a 
    strange commandfile (DCL.COM) that were submitted. This file
    made INSTALL on some DECW$*.EXE and after removing this file all
    went OK. Thanks for your help.
