REALLOC error.

Hi,

When trying to perform listings from the Data Protector IDB I get the following error in the debug.log.

10/23/06 16:40:53 DBSM.22474.0 ["lib/cmn/safemem.c /main/dp51/r51_fix/1":188] A.05.10 bPHSS_33178/DPSOL_00156
REALLOC failed Size=75366400, errcode=12

It seems as the realloc size is rather huge, perhaps some system parameter(s) must be increased.

Any idea about which ?

Hi Leif:

Errno 12 is not enough core. Make sure that you have enough swapspace, but look to the data (heap) size in 'maxdzie' for 32-bit processes or 'maxdsiz_64bit' for 64-bit processes.

You can use 'swapinfo -tam' to query swap and 'kmtune -q maxdsiz' (or '-q maxdsiz_64bit') to interrogate your kernel parameter settings.

Regards!
