Hello.
i just installed db2 on my mac. i have problem with starting the db2.
i installed DB2 V9.5.0.2 and Fix Pack 2.
i run $db2fs command with no problem but i cannot create sample database. when i do the $db2start i get this error

SQL1220N The database manager shared memory set cannot be allocated.

and when i try to create a new db by using this command

$sb2 create database test

i get this error

SQL1032N No start database manager command was issued. SQLSTATE=57019

and when i run $db2sampl i get

Starting the DB2 instance...
Creating database "SAMPLE"...
Attempt to create the database "SAMPLE" failed.
SQL1032N No start database manager command was issued. SQLSTATE=57019


'db2sampl' processing complete.


Please help me i am looking for a solution for a week now...
thanks...

Are you are using DB2 Express-C? If so, you should get support for that on the DB2 Express-C community forum on the IBM website. There are some people who have used DB2 on Max OS who have posted on that forum.

I would aslo suggest that try the latest copy of DB2 Express-C which is 9.7.2.

Try updating instance_memory dbm cfg to automatic

Hi...
How exactly i should change that instance_memory to auto?
Thanks

from command line:
db2 update dbm cfg using instance_memory automatic

thanks... the command was successful, however still same problem

Is DB2 on MAC OS similar to DB2 on Linux? In this case, verify that the kernel parameters are properly configured. If this doesn't help, execute:

db2diag -A
db2start

Attach db2diag.log here

Seen this? Installing DB2 on Mac OS X - ChannelDB2

i use same commands in terminal as i used to use in Linux. So i guess so,i ve attached the log.zip file here...

yeah twice... watching it again to see if i missed anything during installation...

Verify how your kernel parameters are set using "ipcs -l". The video on channelDB2 is recommending setting shmmax to 1GB and shmall to some other value. Try making shmall the same as shmmax and reboot.
