Hi all,
I have been having trouble increasing the "shm-max" parameter for
the OS kernal.
I need to increase this value to get the SYBASE database server working.
I have added in "/etc/sysconfigtab" the following lines:
#----------------------------------------------------------------
ipc:
shm-max = 2147483648
#----------------------------------------------------------------
When the kernal reboots it reads this file and gives the response -
shared mem parameter must be >= 0
SYBASE support know of this problem where the shared mem parameter seems to
be taken as negative. They suggest to build the kernel manually and not
use 'doconfig'. Though the problem persists.
Running the follwoing command 'sysconfig -q ipc' still shows the shm-max value
as the default.
Has anyone had this problem or know of it, help in this matter will be
greatly appreciated as we need the database up like last week.
Thanks Joe.
