Re: IBM DB2 V9.5 32 bits failed to allocate share memory



Ok After well testing on both system ... I have found that DB2 V9.5
FixPack 0 doesn't work on 32 bits system properly
Redhat sets automatically some sysctl value after installation:

kernel.shmmax

So that's why db2 don't crash

I have do the same tuning on debian, and now installation work but ...
performance is awfull !!!

Even system doesn't say that they is some issues in memory, it seems db2
has a problem on 32bits system...

So I have try v8.2 version, and speed is wonderfull with same tuneage of
memory
I do this :


kernel.sem = 256 256000  100 1024
kernel.shmmax=256M (in octet so)
kernel.shmall=3.7G

So speed is excellent with older version of db2 but not this version,
even in redhat or debian

I have post on db2 my issue, but it seems that nobody use this version
yet on net ...

I can't download v9.1fixpack4 anymore on db2 (link is really well hide
on they site)

So I'm stuck for this system

We will need to move to a 64 bits system to solve the problem

a fixpack 1 should be good now

thanks for support
