Sybase 11/Solaris 2.6 Table Creation Problem

I'm running Sybase ASE system 11 on Solaris 2.6. After a fresh install of the server software, I'm able to create all objects in my database. After I shutdown and recycle my machine then restart the data server I can create any object in my database EXCEPT tables. Creation of tables in both 'master' and 'model' is permissable, but when I try to create a table in my database I get the following error:

Server Message Number: 11202

Unable to create table '####' because it has no remote storage location defined. Creation of local user tables is allowed only in the master and tempdb databases.

How do I resolve this error???

I had answered this type of question some times in the last year.

To resolve this , you need to check couple of things such as :

1. SYBASE variable is set correctly.
2. ASE was booted as user sybase.
3. dsopt1 file is existing in $SYBASE/install directory.
4. SHLIB_PATH variable is set to $SYBASE/lib.

After following the above checks and if does not work, give your next attention to the following :

dsopt1 & dsopt2 may be missing on your server or installed incorrectly. You may need to install these files on your $SYBASE/install directory from Sybase installation CD-rom and restart the server.

I hope this will resolve your problem.

Please note that if your ASE version is 11.5 and above,then you may need to consider the files dsopt1 & dsopt2.

Applied the changes to Solaris and checked /install directory for dsopt1 and it exists, but the problem still remains the same...

dk99,

I still can't get this to work. My /install/dsopt1 file has all accesses (777) and my .cshrc profile file looks like this:

set SYBASE = opt/sybase
set SHLIB_PATH = $SYBASE/lib
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $SYBASE/lib ;
set export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

wcampb_ell,

Is dsopt1 file on $SYBASE/install ( /opt/sybase/install) directory ?
Is Server started with sybase user login ?

Thanks
