I originally posted this as a private question but have been requested to add this to the "public" discussion....
Tonight finally had a chance to try to start up UT.
Followed instructions using the upw file that David had created for me. o, I know that the USB Key was properly "activated"....
Everything seemed to work.
HOWEVER, when I tried to run ./runzpdt
I had a serous error as follows...
1. First few lines looked good and supplied the Build date, Version, etc.
Then Map File Name specification followed by:
2. A message that zPDT log files were purged "as requested"... THEN message that:
zPDT started in my Home Directory... FOLLOWED by:
3. Starting Independent 1090 instance... (first time I ever really tried this....) FINALLY:
"Insufficient memory for 1090 to start...."
As there are about 6 GB of memory installed on my Laptop, it seems something is a bit "fishy"....
I did look at the "profile" (I think) that is part of the ./runzpdt start-up and it indicates a parameter on the first or second line as follows: memory 6144 m
I do not know how to "parse" that parameter -- so if that is the problem, I do not know how to fix it....
suggestions anyone??
--Zvi

Odds are I wont be any help at all on this but Ill go ahead and ask... Could you include your aprof11?

Can you post the devmap you are using?
In particular, does the memory line say 6144m? If so, I would reduce it. I think mine is set to 3000m.

Just to let all know that Wilbert was correct...
I dropped the memory allocation to 4600m and everything works...

You probably cannot set RDz UT to use all the physical memory in the machine as some is still required by the OS (Linux)

As wilbert had already posted, the "problem" was that the file hat I had obtained from Regi had memory settings (for "zOS") for a laptop with 8 GB. Since I had "only" 6 Gb, I ended up with an error. When I cut the "z/OS" emeory allocation down to 4.6, everything worked just fine.
