Hi managers,
I cannot get the Sybase 11.0.3.3 server to start on an AlphaServer 2100,
Digital Unix 4.0B, 871 Mb RAM on it. It bails out with the following
message in the installation log:
>----------

I have got some tips that state that the problem may be the Sybase server
size, but mine is currently at 20 Mb size (way smaller than 2Gb shm-max in
the kernel).
So, in short, I´m at loss on what to do to fix the problem, and would
appreciate any help with it.
The current IPC parameters on my Alpha are:
>----------
>ipc:
>msg-max = 8192
>msg-mnb = 16384
>msg-mni = 1024
>msg-tql = 4096
>shm-max = 2118123520
>shm-min = 1
>shm-mni = 128
>shm-seg = 32
>sem-mni = 256
>sem-msl = 200
>sem-opm = 200
>sem-ume = 200
>sem-vmx = 32767
>sem-aem = 16384
>num-of-sems = 200
>max-kernel-ports = 38615
>port-hash-max-num = 1930750
>port-reserved-max-num = 38615
>set-max-num = 6405
>ssm-threshold = 8388608
