This may be slightly off topic, so apologies ahead of time.
OS is Tru64 5.0a, PK2. Hardware is an ES40. 2GB of RAM, almost 6GB of swap
We are running PeopleSoft on this server and the DBAs are reporting an error
in Tuxedo:
828: ERROR: Cannot create error process - fork() failed
The Tuxedo Documentation says:
828
ERROR: Cannot create error process - fork(failed)
Description:
The system, in trying to initiate the user error handler, could not fork a
new process (the fork() system call returns -1).
Action:
This error is directly related to system resources (too many processes, lack
of swap space, etc). Consult your UNIX system administrator for appropriate
actions.
So they have contacted me. The number of processes does not appear to be
anywhere close max-proc-per-user (set at 512), swap space appears to be
fine. Assuming I know nothing (fairly close to true), how would I attempt
to troubleshoot this problem? I look at that error documentation and don't
see enough information to solve the problem? Anyone seen and worked through
this?
Thanks
