ANR0173I
The database failed action action because of insufficient system memory available.

Explanation

The TSM server encountered an error while performing the specified action. Specifically, the server database did not have sufficient memory to communicate with the server database or was unable to acquire the memory needed for the server buffer pools.

System action

Server processing terminates, the requested action fails.

User response

In most cases, this indicates a lack of available resources on the system. This may be a lack of physical resources or it may be an environment setting that prevents the server from having access to the needed resources. For instance, on Linux systems, this may be caused by the SHMMAX value (maximum allowed shared memory) being set too low. On Linux, this can be viewed using the command "ipcs -l". Similarly, for Linux, this value can be increased using the command "sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=nnn" where nnn is the new maximum memory value to assign to be used for shared memory. As a general recommendation, this value should be set to approximately 1.25 GB or higher depending upon the actual physical memory (RAM) available on that system.
