7.7.07.06: ERR_SHMLINESEXCEEDED

[Former Member]

I encountered a strange phenomenon on one of our boxes (Solaris x64). The system was running nicely for the last weeks but suddenly it started about 100 dbmsrv processes consuming LOTS of system time. I saw messages like

2009-09-18 15:27:56 0x00005c03 INF          5 DBMEd    Event with name

The instance was stoppped, database stopped and restarted. If I now try to start the instance again I get

2009-09-18 15:29:37 0x0000407f ERR -24692 DBMSrv ERR_CHECKER_THREAD_INTERNAL: Checker thread has an

% dbmcli -U c db_state
Error! Connection failed to node siauvia for database VT1:
-24691,ERR_EXIT: The DBM server must be aborted.

-24726,ERR_SHMLINESEXCEEDED: Too many lines of type 4
-24726,ERR_SHMLINESEXCEEDED: Too many lines of type 4

There are no shell limit changes etc.

What can be the cause of that? I'm unable to start the instance.

Hello,

do you got a solution? I encountered the same Problem on Linux with Version 7.7.07.18. I found no OSS-Note or threat with an answer.
