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.
         
        Regards

        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
