Hi All,

We are not able to ping to a AIX box...Network is ok..when we give ping from that AIX box..it is giving 0821-067 ping: The socket creation call failed.there is no enough buffer space for the requested socket operation.

refresh -s inetd is also giving socket error.

Please help to solve this..

Thanks in advance...

I would check kernel parameters related to network, such as your "mbufs" and "thewall" and consider doing some testing with different (i.e., increase one or both and values and see if that resolves the issue). IBM Redbook SG24-4989-00, while a bit dated, may be helpful.

Was the server stable before and this just started to happen? Any changes to application, hardware or software (since it is network issue, you may have to look outside of AIX server).

Hope this helps!
