Re: SHM segments error

You may have exceeded your shmseg kernel parameter.

Do an ipcs -ma and count the number of lines. That should be less than your kernel parameter shmmni.

The shmseg defines the segments per shmmni.

I have increased my shmmni to 256 and shmseg to 128.

/usr/sbin/kmtune -q shmseg
