Severity
Error
SWAL-MALLOC_FAILURE
Message
Probable cause
A SWAL memory allocation failure occurred. The system is low on memory or has a memory leak.
Recommended action
1. Use the top command to look for a memory leak.
The top command displays memory usage on the switch and the daemons running. Most daemons
should show approximately 1 MB. The nsd daemon typically shows 30 MB. If any daemon is running
up to 10 MB or the nsd daemon shows above 50 MB, then there might be memory leak.
2. Check the last value in the memory line of the top command output for system free space.
This value varies, depending on configuration, but should be approximately 800 MB free. A memory
leak usually indicates a problem with the XPath OS.
3. Contact your switch supplier for an updated version of the XPath OS. Use the firmwareDownload
command to update the firmware.
