Not enough memory while trying to install OC 5.0.1 on 64bit Linux

[marcinl]

Hello,

I was trying to install OC Core 5.0.1 on 64bit SLES 11.2 with 4GB of RAM (hosted on ESX).

The installation quits with following messages:

Setting up sql ...

Problem initializing the database.

error: %post(NTAPdfm-5.0-7864.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

In /var/log/messages I can see this:

I have increased RAM to 6GB and got the same error. There is enough memory during the installation (checked via top on 2nd console while installing, was never below 2GB free RAM).

There is enough free space on disk:

monitoring:~ # df -h

Filesystem Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/sda6 9.9G  2.9G  6.5G  31% /

devtmpfs 1.9G  144K  1.9G   1% /dev

tmpfs 1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /dev/shm

/dev/sda7 36G  1.4G   33G   5% /opt

/dev/sda5 2.0G  162M  1.8G   9% /var

I have increased number of semaphores and open files, /etc/sysctrl.conf contains following lines now:

kernel.sem=250 32000 32 1024

fs.file-max = 65535

I have also changed dfm option for database cache (while it was partially installed) but I don't think this is preserved between the installations (before installing it again I need to remove the NTAPdfm package).

Has anyone experienced such behavior ? What could cause it? 6GB RAM for OnCommand 5 without any objects in the database should be more than enough.

But as far I know OnCommand 5.1 is officially compatible with SLES 11 SP2 so the kernel trick should not be needed.
@Martin - it may be better to open new thread as this is different issue.

Hi Marcin,

     You are right, the compatibility mode would not be required as in case of OC UM 5.1 we use sybase version 11 where the sybase issue is fixed.

OC UM 5.0.X was using Sybase ASA version 10 whereas OCUM 5.1 is using 11.
