Randy,
When running on NBU 5.1 MP6, we would experience this
error about every 10 days and we had 16GB memory on the master, but on HP-UX
11.11 you are limited to 1.75GB of shared memory on 32-bit
apps. This technote describes the issue/memory
leak (http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/294251.htm),
but our only recourse was to recycle NBU once a week.
We upgraded to NBU 6.0 last fall and this issue doesn't
occur due to the elimination of bpsched.
Mike
All,
I have a Master Server which is a
RP2470 with 1024KB of memory and we process about 1500 backups per day through
it. In the past two
weeks I have experienced Code 150’s, but the
backups were not cancelled by an administrator, but by the system. Here is
the error we receive when it
occurs:
3688660: 05:05:29.648 [10196] <16> start_backup_job: fork
error: Not enough space (12)
3688661: 05:05:29.648
[10196] <16> run_any_ret_level:
failure starting backup job, PID=-1
When this happens nothing else
will schedule unti we either
restart all the NB process or reboot the server, and I have done both. We
logged a call on this and
there is no fix for this as of yet but there is one planned in 5.1MP7 which is
due out sometime this month. The recommendation was to increase the memory on the server (I realize
1GB is extremely low), and we should be receiving it shortly. I have load
balanced the schedule as much as I can. Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so do you
have any information that
would be helpful? The first two times this happened I
rebooted the server and the subsequent outages all I did was recycle the application.
I’m looking for any and all opinions on this
topic.
Thanks,
Randy K.
