I have a new customer that is Sun "centric" trying out Sybase 11.0.2 on Digital UNIX 4.0b. I have helped him to configure the Digital UNIX kernel for the minimum acceptable shmmax parameter (67108864) as is documented in the "SYBASE SQL Server Administration Guide Supplement for Digital UNIX". I got the guide off of Sybooks on the www. After confirming that the change is in effect (# sysconfig -q ipc), he still cannot start up Sybase. He is getting the following messages (translated over the phone, probably not exact): OS create shmat invalid argument kbcreate couldn't create kernel region ki startup could not create shared memory Can someone help? I believe that there is either a couple more params I need to "up" in the kernel config file, or there is an ownership violation on some file(s) from doing the install improperly.

Hi Bob, os_create_region(), kbcreate() and kistartup() are Sybase SQL Server functions that create/attach to shared memory segments. These messages show up whenver the Server cannot create shm segments for some reason or the other. At this stage, I'd ask you to check another ipc parameter - ssm-threshold. You should set ssm-threshold to zero. By the way, what is the "total memory" Sybase is asking for from the system ? - Ranjan. | |||||
