				Hello,
 
 
Since a few time , we have an error message like as : 
 
cannot fork: too many processes
 
when connecting with user mqm.
 
 
On this HP-UX Server we have installed MQSeries 5.3.05 and 5 qmgrs.
 
Is there a max number of process count for this mqm user or is there a configuration problem (qm.ini) on anyone of the qmgrs.
 
 
On the other side is there perhaps a kernel parameter to modify to solve this problem.
 
 
Can you help us on this problem.
 
 
Thanks. |

				unable to fork new process usually indicates that you are having a problem with the paging space on the server not MQSeries. _________________ Yes, I am an agent of Satan but my duties are largely ceremonial. |

				Hello ,
 
 
Thanks for your answer.
 
Just for a few minutes we have the same Problem. So we test all our parameters and the results are :
 
227 processes and 79 processes mqm
 
 
Our kernel configuration is :
 
nproc:16404
 
maxusers :2048
 
 
So we think there isn't a kernel Problem.
 
 
So perhaps have you an other idea.
 
 
Thanks. |

				Hi,
 
 
I am not really sure, but wouldn't you get the same if your user limits are not sufficient/to low? I know on AIX the comand to see them is ulimit -a. There must be something equal on HP-UX.
 
 
cheers
