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
