dynamic memory error

Gregg Parmentier — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:20:13 GMT

I recently upgraded to VMX 7.2-2 from 7.1 and I'm having a problem adding proxies.

Attached are the error message and output from show memory.

It seems to me that the memory isn't being freed when I remove the proxies, as all the entries loaded at boot and ones I've been reloading to fix a problem are causing this error.

This is probably a known implementation bug in the TCP/IP Services package, and particularly in its obscure handling of a boundary condition:

I doubt that the INSFMEM complaint has
anything to do with your actual memory.

SHOW WORKING_SET
and report back.

Oh, yeah, TCPIP 5.1, since I didn't mention that before.

Working Set (pagelets) /Limit=8144 /Quota=32000 /Extent=960512
Adjustment enabled Authorized Quota=32000 Authorized Extent=960512

Working Set (8Kb pages) /Limit=509 /Quota=2000 /Extent=60032
Authorized Quota=2000 Authorized Extent=60032

When I installed tcpip 5.1, it transfered proxies, hosts, and other config information from ucx 4.2. For some reason, the proxy limit of 1000 was not transfered and the default of 533 (?) was used.

I have more than 533 proxies.
