I'm setting up a test server and I am running into a problem during the
installation process. If you're familiar with installing PI/open, please help.
Database: PI/open Rev. 3.6.2.r6Operating System: HP-UX B.10.20Hardware: HP 9000
Series 800 System
>From "PI/open Installation Menu" (UNIX script ./pi_install)I execute option "6
>updateisys Update ISYS account"and receive this error message:
Updating /usr/isys ...updateisys: Failed to bootstrap shared PI/open.
UNIX script updateisys runs command./piopen -boot 102which generates the
following output:... Loading PI/open*** Status 2 (OS: No such file or
directory), severity WARNING, subsystem STARTUP Full details have been
directed to: /usr/isys/&PILOG&/WARN.0
Error: Maximum shared memory segment size is too small.
Please check your system configuration parameters against those listed under
option 5 of the PI/open installation menu
Fatal Error: could not setup shared memory
*** Status 12940 (from PI/open), severity WARNING, subsystem SMM Full
details have been directed to: /usr/isys/&PILOG&/WARN.1*** Status 12940 (from
PI/open), severity WARNING, subsystem SMM Full details have been directed
to: /usr/isys/&PILOG&/WARN.2Exiting PI/open
Looking at the details in &PILOG& file I see the following error messages:
In /usr/isys/&PILOG&/WARN.0... *** Status 2 (OS: No such file or directory),
severity WARNING Detected by the STARTUP subsystem in st_get_limits at
location 3.
In /usr/isys/&PILOG&/WARN.1... *** Status 12940 (from PI/open), severity
WARNING Detected by the SMM subsystem in sm_inits at location 0.=> Unable
to allocate 154208 bytes of shared memory.System maximum is set to 0
Called from st_cold_boot at location 1.=> error doing shared
initialisation of shared memory subsystem
In /usr/isys/&PILOG&/WARN.2...*** Status 12940 (from PI/open), severity WARNING
Detected by the SMM subsystem in st_bproc at location 29.=> bootstrap
processor error doing a cold boot of PI
The error messages seem to point to HP-UX configurable kernel parameter shmmax,
which sets the maximum size of the shared memory segment for the system. I
have increased shmmax to the maximum allowed value (1073741824 bytes), but it
makes no difference to piopen.
I have played with PI/open boot.params file, increasing and decreasing CS_BYTES
(which defines shared memory catalog space) and DIO_BYTES (which defines shared
memory for disk I/O subsystem tables), but nothing makes a difference to piopen.
I have checked all the HP-UX and PI/open system configuration parameters I
could think of.
I have tried making all the parameters identical to the existing PI/open
production server, which is running successfully, but I still run into the same
problem on the test server.
The message (OS: No such file or directory) in &PILOG& WARN.0 is obviously
suspicious, but I have no indication what file or directory it refers to.
Can anyone with experience installing PI/open make any suggestions?
Thank you in advance,
