basis_dlock: file '%s' already in use by a SQL Server
This error may be caused by a hardware problem.
During startup, Adaptive Server tries to lock the master device.
If Adaptive Server finds that the master device is already locked,
the above message is written to the error log and Adaptive Server
does not start. <%s> is
the name of the master device file.
The most common reasons for this error are:
Trying to start a server with a master device that is already being used by another Adaptive Server
The server you are trying to start is already running
At the operating system level, check the processes that currently exist and determine whether an Adaptive Server using the master device you specified is already running.
If an Adaptive Server using the specified master device is already running, and this is not the Server you want to start, determine the correct master device name for the Server you want to start.
If you cannot determine whether the master device is already in use, reboot the operating system.
If the master device resides on an operating system
file system, copy the file to another name, modify the RUN_server file,
and start Adaptive Server with the new file. See “Using
a RUN_server_name file” in
chapter “Starting and Stopping Servers” in the Configuration
Guide for UNIX.
