Dear all, 

On a fresh installation of NetView Server 6.0 (we want to install 6.0.3
actually) on a Solaris 2.7 Managed Node
 (Framework 3.6.2B), installation stops with errors in FILE43.PKT. More
specifically, ovwdb crashes on signal 11. 
The output  of "update.log" is as  following:

 At this point the installation stops. Ovwdb crashes, producing a core file.
>From what I saw
in the list, a similar thing was happening with pmd and the answer given by
James Shanks
was to check on ulimits (system resources) for the number of  file
descriptors.

An output of ulimit -a on my Solaris produces:

 time(seconds)        unlimited
 file(blocks)         unlimited
 data(kbytes)         unlimited
 stack(kbytes)        8192
 coredump(blocks)     unlimited
 nofiles(descriptors) 64
 vmemory(kbytes)      unlimited

 Could this be a similar problem? Could someone please give me any hints?
