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

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:

Jun 14 13:56:52 monitoring SQLAnywhere(dbinit_engine): Not enough memory

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.

I was having the same problem. Launched it in Linux 2.6 compatibility mode and it worked:

cbnapsysman:~ # uname26

cbnapsysman:~> ./occore-setup-5-0-1-linux-x64.sh -l blah

Unpacking files needed for the installation ...

By default, the DataFabric Manager server sends AutoSupport event messages

and weekly reports to NetApp Technical Support. Messages are sent

over secure HTTPS, HTTP or SMTP(HTTPS by default). This information is used to

assist you with troubleshooting and problem resolution. AutoSupport will

significantly speed problem determination and resolution should a problem occur

on the system.

Status AutoSupport event messages will be sent to NetApp once per

week and will start 24 hours after installation. If you do not want

AutoSupport event messages sent to NetApp, you can disable

AutoSupport by setting the AutoSupport Enabled global option to "No".

This option will initially be set to "Unknown" unless manually set, and

will automatically become "Yes" after 24 hours if not set manually to "No".

If you do not want to include private data such as IP addresses, host names,

and user names, set the AutoSupport Content global option to "minimal".

Please respond with "Yes" if you have read and agree with the use of the

AutoSupport feature on this DataFabric Manager server or "No" to abort the

installation.[y,n,?]:y

Please choose the edition of OnCommand Core Package installation.

[1] Express edition

- Simplifies deployment with automated configuration.

- Provides the same level of data protection capability as the

Standard edition, but with reduced monitoring capabilities.

- Runs OnCommand Core and OnCommand Host on the same server.

- Recommended for use with up to four storage systems and one virtualized server.

[2] Standard edition

- Recommended for full storage monitoring capabilities in all deployments.

- Must be installed on a dedicated system.

        The Express edition of the OnCommand Core Package, including the DataFabric Manager server, has

        been installed on your computer.

        Please do not change any setup options without consulting NetApp support.

        If you are managing a virtual server environment, you must now install the OnCommand Host Package,

        if you have not already installed it.

        You can now access OnCommand console at

            http://cbnapsysman.dfci.harvard.edu:8080/start.html

        to configure and monitor hosts and storage with DataFabric Manager server.

        OnCommand console must be run from a Windows-based browser.

        For help on the dfm command, enter

            dfm help

        at the command prompt.

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.
