IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

FMV9064E

error-program: Cannot fork a new process: error.

Explanation

TSM cannot fork a new process that is needed. If the operating system errno is EAGAIN, then the limit on the total number of processes running on the system or by a single user has been exceeded, or the system does not have the resources necessary to create another process. If the errno is ENOMEM, then there is not enough memory to create the process.

System action

TSM cannot complete the requested operation.

User response

Depending on the error code (errno), either allocate additional virtual memory (swap space) or increase the operating system process limit. Then restart the HSM daemons or reboot the system.
