Run SAM as root and tune the shared memory parameters. As you have read in the
error messages, the instructions are in Admin. guides.
Shridhar
P.S. Did you read admin guide for tuning shared memory?

Maybe you should read this:
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/faq-english.html#3.4
It tells what you should do.

Well what does:
df -k
and
df -i
tell you about disk usage, you're mostly interested in the partition the
postgres data directory is in, although whatever /tmp is on may be significant
as well.
Have you tried reducing the max_connections parameter in postgres.conf?

Hello all,
I treid to compile and install postgresql on PA-RISC.
it is insatlled , but while trying to start as
./pg_ctl -D data -l logfile
i got following messages in logfile.
plz tell me how to overcome this.
IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget(key=5432006, num=17, 03600) failed: No space left on
device
This error does *not* mean that you have run out of disk space.
It occurs when either the system limit for the maximum number of
semaphore sets (SEMMNI), or the system wide maximum number of
semaphores (SEMMNS), would be exceeded. You need to raise the
respective kernel parameter. Alternatively, reduce PostgreSQL's
consumption of semaphores by reducing its max_connections parameter
(currently 32).
The PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide contains more information about
configuring your system for PostgreSQL.
Thanks and Regards,

And maybe I should _read_ the error message before posting a reply. D'oh.

Hello Niqel,
I started postgresql by tried with "postmaster -D data -N 16", now it is ok.
but i want to avoid this without using -N switch. (i.e i want to start
without -N)
is it possible? if so how.
thanks a lot for your efforts.

The simple solution if 16 is enough for you is to edit the max_connections
parameter in $PGDATA/postgres.conf By default it is 32 so change it to 16.
However, your system could be low on resources and you may just be delaying
the problems. I don't know if HP-UX gives something like sysctl, if so try and
find out about what and how it let's you change in the kernel
configuration. Alternatively, someone else already mentioned using SAM. You
should be able to change kernel settings through that tool. You do need root
priviledges to change the kernel though.
Good luck,
Nigel Andrews

Isn't the error message clear enough?

Run SAM, adjust those kernel parameters, make a new kernel, reboot.

Hello Tom and all,
Thanks for reply. I'm able to understand, but previously(2 to 3 weeks back)
with same machine i can able to run withour any problem. But after
recompilation, this runtime pbl areises.
Just to clear myself i'm sending the mail.
If only way is to change the kernel parameters, then i'll try and let you
all lnow if any pbl arises.
Regards,
