Hi,

I Increased the processes in my init.ora file, and got the following error on startup :

07279, 00000, "spcre: semget error, unable to get first semaphore set."
// *Cause: An error occurred when trying to get first semaphore set.
// *Action: Check errno. Verify that system is configured to have
semaphores.
// Verify that enough semaphores are available. Additional information
// indicates how many semaphores were requested.

HP-UX Error: 28: No space left on device Additional information: 1

Oracle 7.2.3 on HP-UX 10.20

I'm no expert (what else is new) so as always, help is greatly appreciated ...

Greets,

Kirsten
