syscheck -v not producing the expected results

[Nigel Fletcher]

Hi,

We are running Ingres II 2.0 9808 on Solaris 2.6
The installation is up & running, but when I run 'syscheck -v' I get
the following:

Checking host "ampcimdb" for system resources required to run
Ingres...

214 file descriptors per-process required.
1024 is the current system hard limit.
1024 is the current system soft limit.

-1 symbols not found

I note the following entries in config.dat:

ii.*.cbf.syscheck_command: 'syscheck >/dev/null'
ii.*.config.server_host: ampcimdb
ii.*.config.syscheck: 'syscheck >/dev/null'
ii.*.image_size.iigcb:
ii.*.image_size.iigcc: 875152
ii.*.image_size.iigcn: 753452
ii.*.image_size.iimerge: 8398600
ii.*.ingstart.syscheck_command: syscheck

I wonder if the 'syscheck > /dev/null' entries are relevant, but I
cant find anything meaningful in the manuals.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Nigel,

My memory is fading, but I believe your problem is that you are
running your Solaris box in "64 bit" mode, and syscheck doesn't
function in that mode in II 2.0/9808.

I believe I replaced 'syscheck' with a link to '/bin/true', basically
ignoring it. The 'syscheck' command is only a guess at whether or not
you have enough resources to run Ingres. It has never been foolproof,
nor has it been either conservative or liberal in its estimations.
