Hi: one of the application I am trying to install needs the shminfo_ and seminfo_ attributes set properly. I have my /etc/system as follows and rebooted the machine ================ forceload: sys/semsys forceload: sys/shmsys set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0x2000000 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1 set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=256 set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=256 set semsys:seminfo_semmap=256 set semsys:seminfo_semmni=512 set semsys:seminfo_semmns=512 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=32 ================ but when I run sysdef (shown below), the shmin and shmseg are not available and as a result the application is complaining about these two attributes =============== bash-2.05$ sysdef |egrep "SHM|SEM" 512 semaphore identifiers (SEMMNI) 512 semaphores in system (SEMMNS) 30 undo structures in system (SEMMNU) 32 max semaphores per id (SEMMSL) 10 max operations per semop call (SEMOPM) 10 max undo entries per process (SEMUME) 32767 semaphore maximum value (SEMVMX) 16384 adjust on exit max value (SEMAEM) 33554432 max shared memory segment size (SHMMAX) 256 shared memory identifiers (SHMMNI) ================== Application error is as follows =============== shmsys:shminfo_shmmin not found via sysdef, min value required is 1 shmsys:shminfo_shmseg not found via sysdef, min value required is 256 =============== Anybody have an idea what else do I have to do? Thanks Ray
