Error messages after adding RAM in an SGI Octane
I have just installed more RAM in my Octane2, increasing from 2gb to 3 Gb. When I run Huygens I get "...failed to attach shared memory segment"
First thing to know is whether the motherboard in your Octane allows 2 or 8GB RAM.
Type at the unix prompt: <br>
hinv -m
You should see: <br>
< 103 snoek ~> hinv -m <br>

The IP30 030-1467-001 is the 8GB board.
It is VERY important that the largest DIMMs are first in the DIMM bank!!!
The remainder of the hinv output reports the memory size, on our <br>
Octane:
CPU: MIPS R12000 Processor Chip Revision: 2.3 <br>
FPU: MIPS R12010 Floating Point Chip Revision: 0.0 <br>
Main memory size: 2048 Mbytes <br>
Xbow ASIC: Revision 1.3
Here 2GB; in your case that should be 3GB.
If this is all fine type: <br>
systune resource

rlimit_vmem_cur = 5368709120 (0x140000000) ll
The rss values should be a bit less than 3GB; the vmem sizes could be as above (5GB). <br>
How you can change this see the FAQ (search for reconfigure).
