Process quota exceeded during patch installation (VMS731_ACRTL-V0300)

Henrik Karlsson — Tue, 11 May 2004 00:16:39 GMT

Hi
We use an Alpha server DS20-E with OpenVMS 7.3-1
During installation of the patch: VMS731_ACRTL-V0300 (Note:I have installed the dependencies: VMS731_SYS-V0500 first)

I get the errormessage:
-----------------------
%LIBRAR-E-WRITEERR, error writing DISK$ALPHASYS:[VMS$COMMON.][SYSLIB]STARLET.OLB;1

-SYSTEM-F-EXQUOTA, process quota exceeded
-----------------------

But in the 'special instructions' chapter of the installation instruction it says:
--------------------------------------
SYSTEM-F-EXQUOTA, process quota exceeded error

During installation you may see a "SYSTEM-F-EXQUOTA, process
quota exceeded" error:

%LIBRAR-E-WRITEERR, error writing
DISK$:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSLIB]STARLET.OLB;1
-SYSTEM-F-EXQUOTA, process quota exceeded
This error happens near the end of the installation process
and occurs on systems with a large [SYSLIB]STARLET.OLB. To
correct this error the Pgflquo process parameter value should
be increased. The new value will be different for each system
but a value equal to or greater than the size of STARLET.OLB
should elinminate the problem.
-------------------------------

I have increased the pgflquo in UAF on the user that install from and it's greater then the size of STARLET.OLB -> But still have the same problem?, anyone had this problem or know the solution for it?

Cheers
Henrik

Perhaps just try more (my account has a PGFLQUOTA of 1.500.000 and I never had these problems :-) )

Thanks for the reply - I tried again to increase up to 1.500.000 for the pgflquo, which is 30 times bigger then the STARLET.OLB file, but it still fails on the same error, any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Apologies if this is obvious.

Did you remember that you need to log in again to get the new page file quota?

Hi,

I agree with Martin. Anyway, checkout the following thread. Here you will find some links which you can use to monitor your process quotas ...

Hi
Thanks for the answers, I have log in again to the system, and checked the pgflquo are set to the new value. But still a problem with the quota during installation of the patch.

I will now look at the link for mointoring the qoutas, and get back if that solve the problem.

Thanks to you all, now it worked.
The solution was to increase the all the quotas (not just the pgflquo as it said in the installation notes) This after I monitored the installation process:
show process/quota )

I hit this problem on our test lab box. For me it was BYTLM
