XPath OS 7.4.x system error messages reference guide 65
CM-MEM_ALLOC_ERR
Message
Probable cause
A memory resource is not available because of 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 and the iswitchd daemon
typically shows 50 MB. If any daemon is running up to 10 MB or the nsd daemon is above 50 MB,
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 firmware.
3. Contact your switch supplier for an updated version of the XPath OS. Use the firmwareDownload
command to update the firmware.
