Database failed to start. SQL1084C - Shared Memory Segments cannot be allocated. SQLSTATE=57019

[Boris Bialek]

you obviously have not set the paramter on your system for the kernel
shared memory segment sizes...

Please add the following lines to /etc/sysctl.conf

# Added for 32-bit DB2
kernel.sem=?250    256000     32    1024?
kernel.msgmni=1024
kernel.shmmax=4294967296
kernel.shmall=<amount of memory in bytes on the system>
#end additions for DB2

The following lines should be added in for a 64-bit system:
# Added for 64-bit DB2
kernel.sem=?250     256000    32    1024?
kernel.msgmni=1024
kernel.shmmax=<amount of memory in bytes on the machine>
kernel.shmall=<amount of memory in bytes on the machine>
#end additions for DB2


then run sysctl -p (normally RedHat is doing sysctl automatically after
reboot in RHEL - I am not sure if you need to add to rc.local for Fedora...

This should work.

Boris

PS: Normally those parameter gets automatically set but it can be that the
DB2 kit thinks some other application changed them and leaves the hands off
it.

I installed the NetWeaver 04 / Linux / MaxDB Technology Preview DVD without
any problems.


Now, after installing the NetWeaver 04 / Linux / DB2 Technology Preview DVD
from TechEd - I get the following error when trying to startsap:


Command:  startsap si4host


Database failed to start.  SQL1084C - Shared Memory Segments cannot be
allocated.  SQLSTATE=57019


I am running on a P4 1.4 GHZ, 1.5 GB RAM, Fedora Core 2


Has anyone else seen this problem?


Thanks. _______________________________________________
