Backup failure dur to resource issues

[Dan Copeland]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to know if any of you have faced veritas netbackup problems with the following error message :
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 525336 bytes (pga heap,KSFQ Buffers)

I think this might have got to do with some kernel paramter values like msgmap, msgmnb, msgssz,msgtql,msgseg,msgmni,shmmni,shmseg,shmmax. Any input will be appreciated.

Here are the Kernel Parameters

Name New Value
msgmap 500
msgmnb 65536
msgssz 8
msgseg 8192
msgtql 500
msgmni 50
shmmni 220
shmseg 120
shmmax *

by the way, the last one is a star because it's a formula so you shouldn't have to do anything with that, it will change automatically

Hi:

The most likely suspect is maxdsiz or maxdsiz_64bit (if this is 64-bit Oracle).

Hi Jeff,

I already checked those parameter values. It is higher than the specified values.

[Jeff Machols]

you may also want to check these

maxdsize=67108864
massize=8388608
shmmax=1073741824
