Hi:
I ran into an error while running the visualization package (Flavia module
on top of the computational fluid dynamic package,ie. CFX 4.1)
The actual error message is below while running Flavia
....
shmget: Invalid argument
avs: UCDstructure_alloc: shared memory allocation failed.
...
It seemed that I may need to change some system parameters. I did a little
of research and found that I may have to modify the shared memory parameter
in the IPC subsystem.
The three parameters that are involved:
shm-max = 4194304
shm-min = 1
shm-seg = 128
(I found these values from command: sysconfig -q ipc)
Should I modify the two values: shm-max, shm-min and am I on the right track
on this problem.
I contacted Digital Tech support and they passed the buck to the application
vendor saying that I should contact the vendor. They refused to show me how
to modify these values ( I do purchase technical support for Digital Unix).
The vendor office that I contacted do not have the expertise in Dec Unix
platform.
I am currently stuck and can only help myself on the problem.
I would appreciate on any suggestions, even on general directions on solving
this problem.
Thanks,
