Cannot read kernel parameter

We are getting the following warnings during DataStage Server Install on Solaris.

 
Cannot read kernel parameter msgmax
Cannot read kernel parameter msgmnb
Cannot read kernel parameter semmns
Cannot read kernel parameter semmsl
Cannot read kernel parameter semmni
Cannot read kernel parameter shmmax
Cannot read kernel parameter shmmni
Cannot read kernel parameter shmseg

Has anyone encountered these error messages before?

Appreciate any input, Thanks

It's trying to validate minimum values... do those exist in the Solaris kernel?

I do not see them in /etc/system.

Ran sysdef -i and it appears that IPC Module is not loaded

Code: Select all

IPC Messages module is not loaded

* IPC Semaphores module is not loaded

* IPC Shared Memory module is not loaded

Sounds like that could be an issue, but I have no clue. Perhaps someone with Solaris experience will pipe up, otherwise open a case with your official support provider.

Are you certain that you have a Solaris version of DataStage server?

yes build platform is Solaris

The issue was resolved after we commented out few lines from the install.sh script which Support vendor proposed.
If you are using Solaris 2.10 with DS 7.5.2/7.5.3, there are kernel parameters which have become obsolete.
Thanks
