Error during system copy

Question

Hello Experts,
                           I am doing a heterogeneous copy. During the Start Instance phase of the copy the instance fails to start. The services are started, the DB is up too, everything looks fine but still copy is not continuing. Here are my findings.
Below is the response of niping -v

Can someone please help here.
Thanks!

Just for completion: You need to have a certified migration consultant on-site to do heterogeneous migration, otherwise you'll loose SAP support for the target system (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ).

This seems to be an OS specific IPC shared memory configuration issue.
What OS do you use?
