out of memory

[Dale Corrington]

I use HPUX 11.0 on C3600 & C3000 w/512 RAM.
1GB swap.
All have same problem. After several days of use all of the swap is in "reserve" and I can't start any new processes. Rebooting frees it up and it's o.k. for a few more days. It seems what ever process required memory reserved didn't release it when done.
I did not have any problem until I upgraded from HPUX 10.2

I had that problem on my B132 as well after installing 11.0. Apparently there is a memory leak somewhere. Here is a list of patches I have installed on my machine that have to do with memory leaks. You might try these and see what happens.

PHCO_16795 1.0 memory windows cumulative patch
PHCO_20443 1.0 memory windows cumulative patch
PHCO_21602 1.0 audisp(1m) memory leak patches
PHKL_20731 1.0 fix vfork(2)-caused panic when low on memory
PHKL_21535 1.0 Enable IDS/9000, shared memory core dumps
PHKL_21610 1.0 Large Data Space, kernel memory leak fix

Increase the swap with SAM and verify the utilization with swapinfo -mt.

I have the following patches now
PHCO_20443
PHKL_20731
I will read release notes on the others suggested and possibly load on one machine to test.
I don't think increasing swap is a long term answer.
