Re: [U2] [UV] Help with 'Available memory exceeded' on 8Gig Ram server

2004-11-20 Thread Ray Wurlod 
Check swap space.  I recently saw this text on an AIX 5.2 machine that also had 
8GB of RAM.  Unfortunately they'd only configured 2.5GB of swap space.  A 
heavy-duty sort/merge needed more than could be delivered.

(I didn't follow up whether they'd increased swap space to my recommendation of 
at least 16GB so can't report whether that was the problem.  But I suspect that 
it was.)

RE: [U2] [UV] Help with 'Available memory exceeded' on 8Gig Ram server

I don't know if this is the problem or not but these symptoms can be caused
by a UniVerse file that was being RESIZEd and the RESIZE aborted.  This can
leave the "Active Resize" bit set for records in the file and cause the
'Available memory exceeded' failure when you try to edit or otherwise access
records.

Try using uvfixfile or the new UniVerse file tool (can't remember the name
off hand).  That might tell you if this is a problem.

To repair use "filepeek" at the UNIX prompt and within filepeek execute the
RCL command to reset the active resize bits.  Probably should be done with
no users in the file and I'd make a copy of the file first just in case.

Hope this helps!

Subject: [U2] [UV] Help with 'Available memory exceeded' on 8Gig Ram server

Hi Everybody,

A crucial job has failed on a client server with the error message
'Available memory exceeded'. The machine has 8Gb RAM and I do not see how
this could be happening. I have also noticed that DELETE(ing) or ED(iting) a
record more than 16MB will fail with the same error message even when I'm
the only user on the system.

What UV/Unix tunables must I change to solve this problem if any?

Regards, Marco.
