Insufficient File System Space In /var
Symptom If one or more of the following issues occur:
• You receive Log Manager failures.
• You are unable to setup Servicecontrol Manager initially (mxinitconfig fails).
• You are unable to add any new objects due to failures in writing the repository.
Verification Use df(1) to check for free space on /var.
Fix Increase size of /var or remove unnecessary files from the /var file system (such as
large log files from other programs).
Insufficient Kernel Resources
Symptom If one or more of the following issues occur:
• You receive “Remote Exception” errors from mxexec.
• You receive “Connection Refused” errors from mxexec.
• You receive “Out of memory” exception from mxexec.
• Tasks run forever with some targets never completing.
Verification Verify the kernel parameters against those listed in the system requirements at:
http://software.hp.com/products/SCMGR/
Fix Increase associated kernel tunables including threads and stack space as required. For
HP-UX, use SAM to increase kernel tunables.
You can use the Java Out-of-Box for HP-UX 11.0 and 11i to modify system tunables and
provide a better "out of the box" behavior for Java. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/java/ for
more information about this tool.
