Delete Domino® Shared Memory (DLTDOMSHM)

The delete domino shared memory (DLTDOMSHM) command deletes Domino®/Sametime® shared memory segments of a specific Domino® server or all Domino® servers. Use this command if the server will not restart after it is shut down abnormally. When a server is shut down abnormally, bad shared memory segments might remain in the memory, which prevents the server from being restarted. This tool helps to delete any bad shared memory segments so that the server can be restarted.

Restrictions

To use this option, you must have *ALLOBJ, *JOBCTL, *IOSYSCFG, and *SECADM special authorities. The option does not display if your user profile does not have the required authority.
