Sys admin

Hi

I am getting "vmunix: proc: table is full" in the syslog file and notable to access the system. I have to Physically restart the server.

Please helpm me in solving this

Hi Suryanarayana,

You need to increase the "nproc" kernel parameter (which will include a reboot).

It's also worth checking your other parameters using Glance to see other potential bottlenecks.

Hi,
you should change some kernel tunable parameter, like NPROC.


What is its actual value ?

Please post a "cat /stand/system".

If you want to keep track of usage of this table, you can use "sar -v 3 10".

Refer to "man sar" for details :)

HTH,
Massimo

It seems proc table did fill up, you may fix it increase nproc and rebuild the kernel and reboot.
- check current "nproc":
# sysdef |grep nproc

You need to increase the kernel value of nproc. Unfortunately it cannot be done on the fly, and your system must be rebooted.

# cd /stand/build
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
# vi system (make your changes bearing in mind that 'nproc' is usually a formula and will affect other parameters.)
save the file
# mk_kernel -s system
# kmupdate
# cd /
# shutdown -r -y now

Or you can use SAM to make the changes.

You should also take the time to have a look at your points assignments, currently 0 from 15

Since you can't access the system, I think you must boot into single user mode to modify the uproc parameter.
You physically restart the server, so you must run:
#/sbin/fsck -y
first , then use:
#mount -a
to mount the file system.
Now you can do anything just as Clay gave above!

Good luck!

Sorry, I prefer Michael Tully above,not Clay!
I'm terrible sorry for my mistake!
Thank you all!

Hey man ,
just increase the value of nproc.

it means number of process in your system is equal to nproc value.

if you ahve any session open just try to kill some process after that you will be able to login to system and shutdown system properly.
as other told you have to change the value of nproc....
