9658.0. "Can't allocate space" by TAMARA::NEUMAN::Neumann (Stan Neumann) Tue Apr 29 1997 14:50
We have a heavily threaded process, running on a UNIX 4.0B system (with
the new-wire-method turned off), that reports that it cannot allocate
space (in a C++ new function). The system has lots of real memory, lots
of swap space, and the image size is only 100 meg. Maxusers is 2048, and
vm-mapentries is 1024.
In an earlier note, it was suggested that this was probably vm-vpagemax.
We had vpagemax set to 131072, so we tried to bump it to 262000 , but
that didn't seem to "take". sysconfig -q vm still shows it at 131072 -
is that the maximum?
Any other ideas on what we should look at to figure out why it cannot
allocate space?

| 9658.1 | 131072 is not the max for vm-vpagemax | MSBCS::SCHNEIDER | Say it with ASCII | Thu May 01 1997 09:36 | 4 |
| My shop is running vm-vpagemax = 262144, and it definitely had the
desired effect. Have you rebooted?
