Re: [GENERAL] postgres solaris 2.6 error message

Might be in the FAQ, but add this to /etc/system and reboot:

set semsys:seminfo_semmap=64
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semume=64
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=268435456
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100


Not sure if these are the *best* values, but if I remember back when I was
solving this error, these were good suggested values.
