Configuration File Issue

Post by RobertScarbrough »

It appears that I have an issue with my configuration file. The AIX box has 8 CPUs. If I create a 7 CPU config file and validate it, everything is fine. If I create an 8 CPU configuration file I get the following message. Can someone help explain how to resolve it?

##W TOCK 000000 10:30:59(008) <main_program> Warning: Config file checker on node node1 can only create 461 processes. Ascential Software recommends that ORCHESTRATE users be able to create at least 64 processes per logical node. This node is one of 8 on the physical node MyServerName. Therefore, ORCHESTRATE users should be able to create 512 processes on this node.
.


If I try to run the job with the 8 CPU config I get the following.

Contents of phantom output file =>
RT_SC1123/OshExecuter.sh[20]: 450752 Segmentation fault(coredump)

Hi,
7*64 = 448 processes per user
8 * 64 = 512 processes per user
your system has a limit of 461 processes per user
Since the "reccomended" limit of processes of 8 nodes is beyond your system configuration you need to run with only 7 nodes
Or have your limit raised to at lease 512

IHTH,
