Trouble starting databases on Solaris 2.8

[Carl Olivier]

Greetings.

 

I have recently installed SAP-DB 7.3.00.21 on SOlaris 2.8.  This seesm to have gone fine, except that whenever I try and run the create_demo_db.sh script, the following output and error is returned: (and yes I am running the script as sapdb and not root!)

 

create database PLATFORM...
set parameters for PLATFORM...
start PLATFORM...
start PLATFORM failed: ERR
-24994,ERR_RTE: runtime environment error
1,Kernel died before reaching COLD state

 

In the [indep_data path]/wrk/PLATFORM/knldiag log file the following output is found:

Now I have found other people with the same problem on the mailing list archives, but alsas, either I am too stupid to figure it out, or no-one else has solved this problem?!  Is the problem with the system wide semaphores?  Is the problem with the C libraries?

 

Can anyone at SAP tell me whether this release should work with Solaris 2.8?

 

I would really appreciate some assistance as I am going mad!

Thanks in advance,
