FMV3410E
The operating system refused a Tivoli Storage Manager request for memory allocation.

Explanation

Tivoli Storage Manager requires access to memory in order to store information as processing proceeds. In this case, more memory was requested than the operating system would allocate. Possible reasons include:
  • The system is low on memory.
  • The process in which the program runs has exceeded the maximum memory that it is allowed to allocate.
  • Some other error condition occurred that caused the program to think it is out of memory.

System action

Tivoli Storage Manager cannot complete the requested operation.

User response

Close all unneeded applications and try the operation again. If the operation still fails, try dividing the task into serveral smaller units. For example, if a file specification contains several high level directories, run the Tivoli Storage Manager task serially for each directory. If the Tivoli Storage Manager task is an incremental backup, use the option "-memoryefficientbackup=yes".

For UNIX systems that support resource limits, check to see b if the memory resource limit is too low by entering the following command: ulimit -a

Based on the resulting data, you can ask the UNIX system root user to increase resource limits so that it will override the current default. The UNIX system root user has the authority to increase resource limits.
