No more id's are available from the system id pool

[mephisto]

During installation of both the community version and the demo version on SuSE I get this error in log/fatal:

Code: Select all

SERIOUS ERROR                  Administration(omaddu        ) 11.23.05 00:48:53
[OM 8154] No more id's are available from the system id pool.
Pid of logging process: 31865
Current errno value: 2

I used the provided tomcat and the java sdk rpm from sun. Scalix does not start.

Hello,

What version of the SDK are you using?

Top fix the system ID pool issue, see below:

How do I increase the number of Unix ID’s allocated to Scalix?

Each Scalix mailbox that is added will require a Unix/Linux ID. In cases where more than 1000 users will exist on the Scalix server, you must increase the pool or add additional pools to draw ID’s from. To first display the pool, run the following command (which is also the default amount).

# omadmidp -u

Start of block: 64534
Range of block: 1000
Used in block: 7

Now increase the pools, in this example, we’ll add 1000 ids.

# omadmidp -a -s 66000 -n 1000

omadmidp: Unix IDs pool 66000..66999 successfully added

Now review what has been allocated.

# omadmidp -u

Start of block: 64534
Range of block: 1000
Used in block: 7
Start of block: 66000
Range of block: 1000
Used in block: 0

Hi Mathew,

I've installed Sun JDK 1.4.2-10

If I'm running "omadmidp -u" I get:
No system id's are configured in the system id pool.

Do you have any users configured at all? (omshowu -m all) and what happens when you run omadmidp with the -a flag to add more IDs to the pool (making sure, of course, that you don't add any IDs to the pool that are already in use).

It's interesting that you've managed to get a message store with no IDs in the pool, but if memory serves me correctly I think it's possible to have enough unix users defined so that the script that looks for an unused slot will fail.

Here is the result:

omshowu -m all
omshowu : [OM 8037] There are no local mailnodes configured

I realized what the problem was: every time I ran the setup my vnc remote desktop connection crashed at the same position during the setup. So I re-ran the setup and just configured the services - not realizing that the ids weren't created.
Now I completely re-ran the setup locally and it worked fine.

Thanks for your time.
