Linux Virtual Memory is too full

[Bob Moore]

HP DL360

QDX 5.3 Rev2 Fresh install on Red Hat 3 ES

Gui comes up and lock manager will start, but

hcisitectle -s m produces the error

Virtual Memory is too full; must be less than nan

hcimonitord failed to execute properly.

QDX Support provided us with the following kernel reccomendations

/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax – 2147483648

/proc/sys/kernel/sem – 250

are there any errors in ..

$HCISITEDIR/exec/hicmonitord/hcimonitord.log

or in the hcimonitord.err file?

also .. just as a ref ..

here are my settings

[hci@swlx226 hcimonitord]$ more /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

2147483648

[hci@swlx226 hcimonitord]$ more /proc/sys/kernel/sem

250     64000   100     256

[hci@swlx226 hcimonitord]$ more /proc/sys/fs/file-max

209702

also .. how much memory do you have on your machine?…

looks like 2GB .. but just checking…

Thanks for the info Dennis

the log files didn’t exist and only get the one I posted if start from a shell prompt – Gui doesn’t produce it.

we have 4GB memory

And how much swap space do you have?

Redhat recommends 1.5 to 2.0 x installed memory (RHEL4 — not sure about RHEL3).
