Installation Issues
124 Installation and Administration Guide
Resource Temporarily Unavailable
If the installation fails with the following error message on the console:
fork() failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
The value of HP-UX nkthread tunable parameter nay not be large enough. The
nkthread tunable requires a minimum value of 600 on all systems in the cluster. To
determine the current value of nkthread, enter:
# kctune –q nkthread
If necessary, you can change the value of nkthread using the SAM (System
Administration Manager) interface, or by running the kctune command. If you change
the value of nkthread, the kernel must be rebuilt for the new value to take effect. It is
easier to change the value using SAM because there is an option to process the new kernel
immediately. See the kctune(1M) and sam(1M) manual pages for more information on
tuning kernel parameters.
Inaccessible System
◆ The system you specified is not accessible. This could be for a variety of reasons, such
as, the system name was entered incorrectly or the system is not available over the
network.
Checking communication with system01 ................. FAILED
System not accessible : system01
Suggested solution: verify that you entered the system name correctly; use the
ping(1M) command to verify the accessibility of the host.
◆ If a system cannot access the software source depot, either swagentd is not running
on the target system or the swlist command cannot see the source depot.
Correct /etc/{hosts, nsswitch.conf} and continue from here
Continue? [Y/N] :
Suggested solutions: check that swagentd is running. Check whether there is an
entry for the target system in /etc/hosts. If there is no entry, then ensure the hosts
file is not the primary lookup for the “hosts” entry.
