I'm having a bit of a problem with Solaris 10u8 and one of our applications requesting memory and being told, "no space left".
The break down:
24GB Physical Memory
8GB swap
at the time of occurance, here's what a memory breakdown looks like:
As you can see, there is 900MB physical memory left and 1.1GB of swap free. There are around 1100 processes, all running as a spawned child of one process. I've looked at projmod for limitations, but haven't found any.
@aychbee45: I'm afraid not. Solaris reports "no space left" when a reservation cannot be fulfilled. Depending on how much memory is requested, this can happen with a significant amount of free swap.
It depends how much memory your application is requesting.
Each session is about 30-50MB (including shared libs) 10-20MB anon. We go from 1080 users to 1087 and the error starts happening.

Even if there is 900MB physical memory available as well?
You cannot think of available memory as "physical + swap". Swap is only used as backup in case of physical memory shortage, which Solaris requires for every running process. So to avoid errors you should have few GB of swap more.

My Big Brother monitoring is complaining for very less swap space available, but I am not able to find, what process has consumed its swap space and how to clear it. All zones including global server have almost blank /tmp with very less data.... (3 Replies)
Hi,
I am not sure how many scripts / java processes running on my HP-UX server.
I need to calculate the total heap of these processes.
I then need to recommend increasing the swap memory to be increase and equal to total heap if that is the right concept.
Currently we are facing... (2 Replies)
hi guys, me again ;)
i recently opened a thread about physical to zone migration.
My zone is mounted over a "bigger" LUN (500GB) and step is now to move the old files, from the physical server, to my zone.
We are talking about 22mio of files.
i used rsync to do that and every time at... (8 Replies)
