Allocating and attaching to shared memory...FAILED

Allocating and attaching to shared memory...FAILED

Dear All,
if you are at this blog, it means taht you have already been to many places and it still is not working for you. first note that if the sysmaster database is correctly installed. if you are getting this error it means that it is not installed properly.

First let me tell you how i got here ...

installed unix, installed the N/w card driver, SCSI card driver (for tape drive), the tape drive was mounted.
we installed the secondary master HDD to install all of our applications, the primary drive was for UNIX only.
we installed i4gl from install4gl program.
we installed DB from ./instlows

this is where we were stuck.... unable to install sysmaster database, try again? i said YES, configuring complete, launch the

database server PROBLEM, i tried reinstalling but to no avail. so i proceeded.
tried oninit -v.
Allocating and attaching to shared memory...FAILED

so i uninstalled the Informix DB through the /bin/uninstlows. It also uninstalled/deleted some of my informix files,

so i installed the i4gl through ./install4gl
after that instead of installing DB from the mounted Cd drive, i copied the contents of the Cd on my root drive "/" (primary master where UNIX is installed). there i had to give execute rights to root for the 2 files
chmod u+x instlows
chmod u+x setup.sh

then i ran the ./instlows. This time again the sysmaster database didn't install correctly, so i exited the setup without moving

on to next step of configuring and launching my server.
after exiting, i had to fix the entries in my /ifmx.sh i changed that to the SERVER name i gave when i was installing

the DB.

HERE I listened to Joe The guru (http://www.iiug.org/forums/ids/index.cgi/noframes/read/1312)... he writes ...

The most frequent cause of this error is when the shared memory segments you are trying to create when starting the engine already exist. Look in the online log for an error 17 - that means the segments already exists.
That means either the engine is already running (run 'ps -ef' and look for any oninit processes running), or shared memory segments have been left orphaned by the operating system even if the oninits aren't running.
Run an 'ipcs -m' and look for a segment with a key starting with 5258. Specifically, 52584801.
If that exists, you'll have to remove it (them) before you start your engine (see your System Admin for that).

i checked the processes with ipcs -ma and then I removed all the processes which started with 52 and had user informix in them.

now i did oninit -v .... and VOILA !!! it worked, i went to dbaccess and PROBLEMS, i restarted the PC and then dbaccess, the

database was working...

Huma Akram buried in Lahore

Huma Akram, the wife of former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram, who died on Sunday due to a multiple-organ failure, was buried in Lahore on Monday. Her funeral was attended by hundreds of people, including Wasim's former team-mates Saeed Anwar, Ijaz Ahmed, Mushtaq Ahmed and Moin Khan. Anwar led the funeral prayers.

"Huma's loss is great and I request my fans to pray for me so that I am able to raise my kids," said Wasim, who has two sons, Akbar and Taimur.

Huma was admitted to the Apollo Hospital in Chennai, India, last Tuesday after her condition deteriorated on board an air ambulance flying from Lahore to Singapore, where she was due to be treated at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital. She developed heart and kidney complications and died on Sunday morning.

Huma worked in Pakistan as a psychologist and a hypnotherapist. She also worked with the Pakistan team for a while as a psychological counselor.

	Sunday, 11 Oct, 2009 8:19 am
ISLAMABAD : The search and clearance operation to locate and eliminate terrorists holding 42 persons hostage, holed up in security office of General Headquarter, was successfully completed on Sunday. Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Athar Abbas told media-persons that 39 hostages were freed safely in two phased operation launched at dawn. A total of nine terrorists were killed while their leader Aqeel alias Dr Usman was captured in injured condition. Three hostages also embraced Shahadat, while 5 others sustained injuries as result of firing by their captors. Twenty seven hostages were released in first phase and four terrorists were killed by the valiant commandos of the Pakistan Army. While 12 others were rescued in the second phase, also leading to the arrest of terrorists leader, he added. A total of nine personnel, six on Saturday and three on Sunday, including two officers embraced Shahadat during the episode. The Shaheed officers included Brig. Anwar and Lt. Col. Waseem Ahmed. The terrorists were carrying arms and explosive devices, including suicide jackets, grenades, Improvised Explosive Devices, detonators and other explosive material. The early Sunday operation lasted for about 45 minutes resulting in death of four terrorists, with the foremost aim to target those two wearing suicide jackets. Terrorists' leader Aqeel alias Dr. Usman who somehow managed to escape during the first phase of operation was traced and arrested in the second phase from the adjacent offices of the security building. DG ISPR told media that in the second phase terrorist Aqeel was successfully overpowered within few minutes and remaining 12 hostages were also safely rescued from the clutches of the terrorists. Terrorist commander, Aqeel alias Dr. Usman is allegedly the mastermind of terrorist attack on Sri Lankan cricket team. The hostages had been shifted to safer places and were in good health conditions while those injured were accordingly removed to CMH , he added. He said the combing and search of security office of General Headquarters, where the militants made hostage to the security personnel was over. He said that there had been no senior officer among the hostages and the majority of hostages comprised army personnel and civilian servants. Earlier, on Saturday six Army personnel embraced shahadat while five others were injured when the terrorists were challenged by the security staff at the checkpost on the Mall Road near GHQ. The episode unfolded that at about 11.30 a.m, 9 culprits, riding a suzuki van, started firing at the personnel deputed at the barriers and also hurled hand grenades. The injured were rushed to hospital as the security officials tried to secure the safe release of security-men who had been taken hostage by those assailants who survived the counter firing by the security guards. They tried to enter the building while storming a checkpost No.2 near GHQ after initially facing resistance at checkpost No.1 where all the casualties occurred, he said. He said all terrorists were dressed up in camouflage uniform and had been riding a Suzuki van bearing fake army number plate, attacked the checkpost No. 1. Later, they headed towards Checkpost No. 2 where they were again intercepted by security forces.
