APT_PMPlayer::APT_PMPlayer: fork() failed -- Fatal

Post by prashanthgovindaraj »

All,

I get an error as stated below.

node_node1: Fatal Error: Unable to start ORCHESTRATE process on node node1 (colby): APT_PMPlayer::APT_PMPlayer: fork() failed, Not enough space.


Not enough space. - What does this mean?

There is no space in /pxwork disc slice or
There is no space in Virtual Memory or
There is no RAM space in server or

Something else..??


Kindly advise.

It's not a particularly helpful message, is it? It can even occur if the process table is full (operating system can not start a new process).
It can occur if the section leader process has already reached the limit on number of sub-processes it's allowed to create (this limit is set in the UNIX kernel). And lots of other possibilities.
