The files shipped by Oracle in the 7.2.x product are incorrect in assuming that you want to setup a parallel server configuration. The shipped init.ora file has the following line in it: # define parallel server (multi-instance) parameters ifile = ora_system:initps.ora To fix the problem simply comment it out: # define parallel server (multi-instance) parameters #ifile = ora_system:initps.ora 8.2 I'm getting segmentation faults in svrmgrl under version 7.3.4.x. I've had this problem reported to me by a number of people. Gerald Weber gerald_weber@master.co.at solved it: Hi Paul, first of all thanks for your help,but none of the possible problems you are thinking about were responsible for my problem. The problem is the iBCS-emulator itself. It seems that Oracle performs an sysconf-calls which isn't supported in the current version of iBCS. Look at the trace : <7>[22]615 sysconf(34) <7>iBCS2 unsupported sysconf call 34 <7>[22]615 sysconf error return linux=-22 -> ibcs=22 <Invalid argument> <7>[24]615 sysconf(34) <7>iBCS2 unsupported sysconf call 34 <7>[24]615 sysconf error return linux=-22 -> ibcs=22 <Invalid argument> Solution: patching the iBCS-source.apply the following diff-pach : --- sysconf.c Sun Apr 19 19:19:15 1998 +++ sysconf.c.ori Sun Apr 19 19:28:45 1998 @@ -60,7 +60,6 @@ #define _SC_JOB_CONTROL 5 #define _SC_SAVED_IDS 6 #define _SC_VERSION 7 -#define _SC_HACK_FOR_ORACLE 34 #define _SC_PAGESIZE 11 @@ -97,11 +96,6 @@ case _SC_SAVED_IDS: { return (1); } - - case _SC_HACK_FOR_ORACLE: { - return (1); - } - case _SC_PAGESIZE: { return PAGE_SIZE; Next Previous Contents
