hi all

we are experiencing a strange error in our p5 server. this server is
running with aix 5.3 ML03.

we are connecting this server through telnet and a tty console. when
something happened, we are not able to connect anymore and after sign
in system through tty console, the error showed up like the follwing.

INIT: command
"exec /usr/sbin/getty /dev/console"
failed to excute. error=12 (exec of shell failed)

in a opened telnet sesson, we also got error like this - 0403-013 there
is not enouth memory availiable to run the command.

any idea?

thanks in advance,

Frank

Some application has been hogging all the memory and you're running out
of physical and/or paging space.

You'll have to figure out which application has 'run away' with the
memory usage.

# ps -efl | more

would be a good start, if you can get that far.

Also, if you have to reboot to recover, check out 'errpt -a|more' to see
what process the VMM killed off to recover memory. That might offer some
clue as to what were the really big memory hogs.

You could also try
svmon -Png|pg

If its installed it will report processes in decreasing usage of paging
space
