Following CFT installation on Sun Solaris, we are not able to start the monitor.

Problem

We are able to start Copilot correctly.  But when starting CFT, we get a segmentation fault "core dump" and timeout every time.



We have also tried to start CFT from the command line using the cftstart command and got the following error message-



Starting CFT with IDPARM "IDPARM0" and 256 transfers active
Starting CFTMAIN ... started
Starting CFTTPRO ...10427 Segmentation Fault - core dumped
.............................. Out of time



Error while waiting for process CFTTPRO
Please check your configuration.



Performing cftstop.
CFT is already stopped.


Resolution

Problem is due to the too low values for Kernel parameters.
     -The mandatory values for running the CFT are



rlim_fd_cur=0x300
msgsys:msginfo_msgtql=8192
shmsys: shminfo_shmmax=33554432



So please verify whether the above parameters have sufficient values. If not, please ensure necessary modification and reboot the server. You should then be up to start CFT.



     -If all the above parameters are correctly set, please verify whether any CFT processes are running using command "ipcs". If it exits then kill them using "ipcs rm" command and start CFT



Recommended values are the minimum for CFT, if other applications are running on the system; those values may have to be increased.
