Idris,

You've run out of nproc entries - you need to increase value of nproc or determine if something abnormal caused this.
See Paula's link.

Hi Idris,

The system resources are out of range. The table full message is because of the low value of 'nproc' parameter. You have to increase it to a higher value.

You can check the current value with:

# sysdef | grep nproc

Use SAM - Kernel Configuration - Configurable parameters, to change the value. More about nproc parameter, see this:

HTH,

Hi,

You have exceeded the threshold set for the maximum number of processes in your kernel. The size of the process table is created based on this value.

Either increase nproc in the kernel or if this increase of processes is abnormal (ie. never occur before), identify the errant culprit parent process or software by scan through the ps process list for abnormal processes or no. of processes.

Hope this helps. Regards.
