2833.0. "MALLOC Error on 3.2A" by glass1.reo.dec.com::OTTEND (ottend@mail.dec.com) Wed Apr 02 1997 07:30

DMQ 3.2A on VMS 6.1, Decnet Phase V (Decstep 6)


We have a particular bus that keeps on putting out Errors as 
follows:

%DMQ_0139_01031-EVENT-LOGGER-E-MALLOC failed to allocate a console 
buffer, C errno: 12

Any pointers on what we should look at/for?

2833.1Ran out of virtual memory....KLOVIA::MICHELSENBEA/DEC MessageQ EngineeringWed Apr 02 1997 12:2810
  I would expect that the Event Logger has run out of virtual memory.  You should be
able to tell by comparing the "peak virtual size" with the "page file quota" which
will appear at the end of the DMQ$EVENT_bbbb_ggggg.LOG file after it is shutdown.  I
would not expect this to occur unless alot of the events are being logged in a burst.
To adjust the page file quota for that process edit
DMQ$USER:DMQ$SET_SERVER_QUOTAS.COM and look for the section for the Event Logger
(EVL).
