encountered "out of virtual memory" using fbackup -0vf

[Bernard Bravo]

we already increased the swap space from 1 to 2GB but the same encountered.

Hi

i also advise also to increase the MAXDSIZ and MAXSSIZ & MAXTSIZ.

also do you get en eror code of the fbackup ?

[Don Morris_1]

Don't worry about changing maxtsiz or maxssiz - tsiz is just text (doesn't grow) and if you were going over stack size, it would die with a SIGSEGV.

In this case, if the error looks like:
fbackup(1106): out of virtual memory
[the number may be different] and upping your
swap had no effect (indicating it's not a matter of the malloc failing due to a swap reservation failure, upping MAXDSIZ should fix it (if you're not already at the maximum). The default is 256Mb - since you've got 2Gb of swap, you can easily double that... and in fact there shouldn't be a big problem putting it up to 1Gb -- it's just a fence line after all.

Bernard,

As Don suggested increase the maxdsiz, this should solve your problem.

check the following

Hello,

The virtual memory issue should be addressed by setting swapmem_on=1.
Just have a look at the attached kernel parameter used for K580 for a Oracle 8 database.

Hi,

I also came pass with these error before and increasing by x2 would fix it.

thanks.
