hcimonitord Virtual Memory too full error

[Elden Jahnke]

Hello

We are attempting a fresh install but getting the following error when trying to startup the engine

Lockmgr    is running on pid 27215

hcimonitord is NOT running

Virtual memory is too full; must be less than nan

hcimonitord failed to execute properly

We are running on a RHEL5 virtual machine with 2Gb of RAM and 4 Gb of swap

Our kernel parameters seem to satisfy your requirements according to your guide

What is the output of either ‘free’ or ‘vmstat’?

[Elden Jahnke]

here is the output

on another note, it seems the integrator comes with it’s own TOP binary inside the /bin directory. Here is the output that command produces. Notice that the Memory information is blank. Perhaps that’s causing the issue?

I believe “nan” stands for a generic error for “Not a Number”

So perhaps the top command having memory information blanked is causing that generic error
