NIS Server Problem

[prasathc_1]

Hi All

I have a situation here like, in my NIS server [9000/800/R380, 10.20 OS , 1GB physical memory] there is error message called "proc table is full".

If i try to enter in the console after typing the userid 'root' it's giving error called "Fork resource temporarily unavailable" then after typing passwd it's giving error calld "could not execute quote command ".

Can anybody can help in this issue.

[Note:- I have configured this server very recently, It's working as a WEB server,NIS Server, Applicatons Server]

Thanks in Advance

Hi,
You have to Interrupt the boot sequence
ISL>hpux -is
Go to single user mode
Increase nproc and nfiles thru SAM.
nfiles = 1500
nproc = 2500
Rebuild the kernel and reboot.
Now system should boot normally.

regards,

Hi,

Siva is right,
Enter into single user mode, look at the value of nproc(a kernel parameter) thru SAM. increase the nproc value( double of the curent value is advised). when u exit SAM, system will build the kernel and reboots.

Hi Siva / Ravi

Thanks for the response

I'll get back to u, once it's happen.

[Before doing this anything i have to do, for safety purpose.]

Thanks and Regards.

Sounds like you've hit the maximum number of process for the server.

If you can get on the machine via an existing connection run "sar -v" to show you the process table limits and current size.

You can ask people to log off, thus freeing up processes. Then increase the nproc kernel parameter and rebuild the kernel.

If you can't free up process AND can't get on the machine then:


'ctl-b'
'rs'
interupt boot process.
'hpux -is "

Run Sam and increase nproc=NNNNN

Rebuild the kernel and reboot.
