The problem turned out to be a kernel tuning parameter. I've enclosed the
changes sys_check recommended, along with the old values. Once these
changes were made and the system restarted, the 8.1.6 install proceeded
without difficulty.
ipc:
# ssm-threshold = 0
ssm-threshold=8388608
vfs:
# name-cache-hash-size = 512
name-cache-hash-size=4096
vm:
# vm-maxvas = 4294967296
vm-maxvas = 2147483648
# new-wire-method = 0
# ubc-minpercent = 1
# ubc-maxpercent = 2
new-wire-method = 1
ubc-minpercent = 4
ubc-maxpercent = 20
# added lines below
ubc-borrowpercent = 4
vm-page-free-target=256
# added the section below
generic:
msgbuf_size=16384
message-buffer-size=16384
Original message is below:
I've got a DS10 w/1gb memory running Oracle 7.3.4, T64U 4.0F PK1. that
needs to be upgraded to 8.1.6. When the oracle executable is built, the
system freezes (still pingable, but nothing else). This issue is discussed
in
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/tru64-unix-managers/2000/05/msg00272.html
but no summary was posted (Miika, did you find a solution? :)). I've tuned
the kernel per Oracle's recommendations and several suggestions from this
list. We've got several other systems (different hardware but same OS/PK
version) on 8.1.6 just fine. Any ideas greatly appreciated.
