Error when trying any SWcommands or FTP

when i attempt to perform any sw commands or attempt to FTP files, i get the following error,
/usr/lib/dld.sl: call to mmap() FAILED - TEXT /usr/obam/lib/libobam.1
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Not enough space
Abort (coredump)

can anyone shed any light on the subject

Re: Error when trying any SWcommands or FTP

The error is due to
1.Amount of memory and swap available.
If you have 80% used.
What is the value of dbc_max_pct on your kernel.
If it is 50% of memory bring it down.The value depends the amount of RAM on the server.
Make sure that you keep it to around 300MB.

The buffer cache half the memory is too high.

check the individual process usage using
UNIX95= ps -e -o ruser,pid,vsz=Kbytes

to check the process usage by each process.
How is the usage of the swap on the machine
Just do a
swapinfo -ta

you can use glance to monitor the process which is throwing out the error.

2.If the amount of memory used is less and there is quite amount of free memory available then

You have to increase your kernel parameters like
These paramters define the upper limit for a process.
They have default values like 8MB.

maxdsiz
maxdiz_64
maxssiz
maxssiz_64
maxtsiz
maxtsiz_64
ALso make sure that you check these values.

Revert with the amount of swap utilization

Re: Error when trying any SWcommands or FTP

You'll probably find your out of RAM. You could try and reduce buffer cache as suggested by TG, but of course this will require an outage. Have a close look at your swap usage. To keep your system going you could create some extra swap and close down some applications that you don't need, even the system diagnostics.

Of course if it is just the sw commands, you could try and restart it.

# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

Hi


You are running out of something.

Check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for messages
and use swapinfo -at to look at available swap.

Re: Error when trying any SWcommands or FTP

You ar ehaving problems with memory. Check swap space utilization. Also check following kernel parameters.

maxtsiz and maxtsiz_64bit
