Thread: Solaris 7 settings
Howdy, I'm setting up PostgreSQL (6.5.1) for the first time, under Solaris 7. I'm getting the infamous IpcMemoryCreate error, which I've found in the FAQ, so I know why I'm getting it - I'm just not sure how to fix it. I'm fairly sure I need to tweak settings in /etc/system to get it working - can anyone give me an idea which variables need to be set and what some good values are? Thanks, Bryan -- Bryan Fullerton http://www.samurai.com/ Core Competency Samurai Consulting "No, we don't do seppuku." Can you feel the Ohmu call?
try stating the postmaster with -N 20 setting (# of backend processes). This worked for me.

Yep, that got it working, which is great for development, but once we get to putting this thing into production I'll need more than 20 backend processes. So I'm set for now - can anyone give me an idea about what to use for production? Thanks, Bryan On Tue, Sep 07, 1999 at 11:58:13AM -0400, "Dmitri G.

You'll have to up the default system values in /etc/system...don't use these values necessarily, since they are from an Oracle server at the University, but: * Semaphore parameters: * * semsys:seminfo_semmns - Number of semaphores in the system * semsys:seminfo_semmnu - Number of undo structures in the system * semsys:seminfo_semmsl - Max # of semaphores created per semaphore id * semsys:seminfo_semume - Max # of undo entries per process * semsys:seminfo_semmni - Number of semaphore identifiers set semsys:seminfo_semmns=900 set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=600 set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100 set semsys:seminfo_semume=50 set semsys:seminfo_semmni=128 On Tue, 7 Sep 1999, Bryan Fullerton wrote: > Yep, that got it working, which is great for development, but once we get > to putting this thing into production I'll need more than 20 backend > processes.
