shared memory error

[vladimir gershman]

Hi,

I am getting an error message: "shmit: deposit_cleanup attempting to clean up an unavailable buffer"

This is in HPUX10.2.

Anybody seen this error?

Thanks,

Vlad

The following is a quote from ITRC doc id UPERFKBAN00000726, I would definetely suggest that you investigate further with the guidelines enumerated in the document:

.. run sar -b 5 30
Ideally we want to see an average %wcache of 95 or greater. If the system
consistenly shows %wcache less than 75 it would be advisable to lower the value
of dbc_max_pct. In 32 bit architecture, the buffer cache resides in quadrant 3,
limiting the maximum size to 1 Gb. Typically values less than 300Mb are
preferable.

G`d luck
