NoteSolaris 10 is shifting to a new method of controlling system resources. shminfo_shmmax is technically obsolete. If you have an entry for it in /etc/system it will still work. The new way to set this up is to add an entry to the file /etc/project and reboot Adaptive Server.

NoteIf you install on RHEL5 or SuSE 10, before you start your server (including backup server), set:

We recommend that you patch up your system to the latest available OS patches before installing Adaptive Server components.

Contact your operating system provider for any patches recommended for your installation. Do not use a patch that is earlier than the version suggested for your operating system. Use the patch recommended by the operating system vendor, even if it supersedes the patch listed.
