• Customize the handling of cookies by clicking Advanced and enabling Override automatic cookie
handling. Then select the appropriate radio buttons for first-party and third-party cookies to Accept
or Prompt. If you select Prompt, the browser prompts you on how to handle a cookie each time a
cookie is received. You can choose to block or allow the cookie each time, or for all times. Enabling
Always allow session cookies does not resolve the problem because the Web Agents do not use
session cookies.
• Individually specify the handling of cookies for each system. Click Edit in the websites section and
add the address of the system in the specified field. Click Allow to always allow cookies to that system.
Repeat this for all systems.
Memory
Many things can cause an out of memory condition when running the HP SIM product. The two common
ones are not enough physical memory or not enough swap space. Others may be related to how the kernel
parameters are tuned. For example, if the maxssiz parameter which is used to set the maximum size of the
stack for each of the user process is set to 256 MB, you may get an "Unable to create native thread" error.
In this case try lowering the value to 32 MB or lower to resolve the problem.
