I'm trying to install 5.2 on solaris 2.8 and I get a message telling me I don't have enough storage available when I run the pkgadd utility. Any idea what pkgadd is checking for during the early part of the install?
I've got a *very* simple disk setup, one slice containing all disk space (14GB). (I know, I know, not the right way to do it but that's what I inherited).
I've created the directory /var/mqm and it is owned by mqm:mqm.
I've updated the kernel parameters (and rebooted).
Is it possible that the pkgadd utility can't work with a disk slice that big or
that MQ can't be loaded on a partition that big? Does MQ require an actual, separate /var mount point (This disk only has / as a mount point).
I went ahead with the install anyway (since I knew I had enough storage)
and files all look o.k., but crtmqm fails with a storage error.
Thanks, Ben |

Hi,
did you set your kernel parameters and reboot before creating your queue manager? And how much free disk space have you got?
The directory /var/mqm doesn't have to be a seperate mount point - it's just recommended.
I very much doubt that the problem is the partition is too big (> 2Gb) - we have filesystems as large or larger on earlier revs. of Solaris and MQ.
HTH
P.S. Can you cut and paste the actual error message(s), both for the pkgad and crtmqm? |

Turned out to be a kernel problem. I'd set shmmax thinking the value was in 1K blocks instead of just bytes. Once I multiplied by 1000, it worked much better <grin>. Interesting the the pkgadd noticed the problem during the install. I'd expect crtmqm to complain but its pretty neat that pkgadd did a check.
Thanks, Ben |
