Hello again Dave
Ok, well then.... I for one am puzzled!
 
Firstly (and importantly), why did Symantec not pick this up?
Second, why do you need to increase the swap? - Has something actually
changed without you knowing?
Third, would a reboot have actually solved the problem?
 
Finally, how long has the box been up for ? Maybe a reboot would clear down
the memory / swap and release it (similar to what Windows does!)

Just doubled the swap and it seems to be working now.

Well it sounds like a process or a process part of a tree may be down. How
and why, I cannot explain, but it may be an idea to reboot and see if it
comes back?
 
As you stated, no changes have been made; How long has the server been
online without a reboot? It does sound like another Daemon or Service has
either hung, or not properly started. In which case I would reboot first,
before doing anything else.
 
Surprised Symantec did not ask to perform a reboot though

NO reboot as of yet as we want to get to the bottom of it so we can avoid it
happening again.
 
Yep all disk space is fine.
 
Just increased the swap too and still the problem occurs.

Is there enough disk space where the images are stored? Or where the
application is installed?
 
Im sort of assuming a reboot was and had been carried out ?

Hi All
 
Have a weird scenario going on, master/media  server Solaris 8 
 
All of a sudden with no system changes whatsoever, we started getting error
code 81's  (Media Manager volume daemon (vmd) is not active) early this
morning Initially I thought that vmd had died however it was still chugging
away although seemed to have a resource limit on it now.
 
We are in a situation where where have 5 NDMP jobs running, as soon a
manually kick off failed jobs from the evening . another 10 would kick in
and ten would fail with the above. the ten that kick in go through and
complete.
 
Whilst the new ten jobs are running , if you run a vmoprcmd on the
master/media you receive the following 
 
hostname:/# vmoprcmd
volume daemon fork failed (85)
 
and the daemon log reflects the below.
 
09:54:04.892 [5688] <2> process_request: passing VxSS credentials to oprd
09:54:04.892 [5688] <2> start_oprd: starting oprd, sockfd = 6, nosig = yes
09:54:04.893 [5688] <16> start_oprd: fork() failed: Not enough space (12)
09:54:04.894 [5688] <16> listen_loop: abnormal exit: 85
 
It seems as though a resource issue somewhere along the line, Symantec have
no ideas so I'm at a loose end ..
 
Has anyone come across this situation before.
 
Regards
 
Dave
