Hey there:
I'm trying to give users access to the full amount of memory available in a
system. Here are the particulars:
Alpha 4100/600, 2 gb memory, 8 gb swap.
I keep having batch process fail with error messages that the user was not
allocated enough memory.
The specific error message is: (this is in the software app, not a unix
message)
"warning: System only allocated 107862913 out of 164400120 bytes of memory
requested"
I called the software vendor for the application in question and was given
some values to play with in the sysconfigtab. Here they are: (excerpted from
the vendors email):
I'm not supersysadmin myself, but I guess if you had values like this
at the end of your /etc/sysconfigtab you might not get those errors...
vm:
vm-maxvas=8589934592
ubc-maxpercent=60
ubc-minpercent = 30
ubc-borrowpercent = 35
vm-mapentries=16384
vm-vpagemax=1048576
vm-page-free-target=1536
proc:
per-proc-data-size = 8589934592
max-per-proc-data-size = 8589934592
max-per-proc-address-space = 8589934592
per-proc-address-space = 8589934592
max-per-proc-stack-size=201326592
--
Now I did change those values (actually added them to the end of
sysconfigtab file - by hand, not through sysconfigtabdb), rebooted the
machine, tried the same software app and the batch process bombed again -
with <exactly> the same error (same memory values), as if the sysconfigtab
is either - a. not the place to make these changes, or b. that these changes
have for some reason not been implemented at reboot. What to do?
Any help? Please?
