In general this means that the TSM client process has run out of
addressable memory.

The amount of addressable memory varies by platform.

For obvious reasons, the maximum amount of addressable memory on a 32-bit
platform is
4 gigabytes, the usable amount actually available for allocation by the
user mode process
can be as little as 1 gigabyte (some variations of HPUX) to between 2 and
3 gigabytes on
Windows.

As mentioned full incremental backup processing (that is
memoryefficiant=no) of very large
file systems can exceed the amount of available process addressable
memory.

Different variations of incremental backup use less memory,
memoryefficiany=yes uses less
than the default of memoryefficiant=no, while memoryefficiant=diskcache
(introduced in client
version 5.4) uses hardly any.

The problem with journal backup is that it requires successfully
completing a full incremental backup before
the journal can be used .

There are trade-offs in performance and disk space utilization in using
any of these variations so
your mileage may vary.

Hope this helps....

Or add "memoryefficientbackup yes" in the dsm.sys file.

The TSM client must receive a list of files for each filesystem before
it can start backing up. It looks like this host got about 1.5 million
files of the listing and then ran out of memory.

One way to fix this would be to turn on Journalled backups if possible
on your system. Either that or add more memory to the host.

Hello all,


One of our AIX clients is failing, The dsmerror.log shows the ANS1030E
The operating system refused a TSM request for memory allocation message
below. I found some information but I am still confused to according
what I found this is some sort of "Fat Binary issue" I assume this is
not a TSM problem? Or does it varies in possibilities?

Thanks in Advance!
