ccmsrv create [-f|-file config_file] [-s|-server servername] [-y]
Use the ccmsrv create command to create a database server.
You must run this command on the database server, as user informix.
shmget: [EEXIST][17]: key 52574801: shared memory already exists
Either a previous attempt to create this server failed, but did not remove the shared memory. Or another Informix® server with the same server number exists on this machine. The server might be from an earlier release of Rational® Synergy, or for your own use of Informix.
If you are certain there is no other Informix server with the same number, delete the shared memory with the specific key using ipcrm. If there is another server using the same number, retry ccmsrv create with a different (unique) server number 1 - 255.
Also, if you need to increase the size of your shared memory kernel parameters, you might see a similar error in the log file:
16:53:12 shmat: [EMFILE][24]: out of shared memory
segments, check system SHMSEG
16:53:12 mt_shm_init: can't create resident segment

Create a database server named hydra1.
$ ccmsrv create -s hydra1
