067 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 067: V-2-67: mount of device_path requires

HSM agent

• Description

The ﬁle system mount failed because the ﬁle system was marked as being

under the management of an HSM agent, and no HSM agent was found

during the mount.

• Action

Restart the HSM agent and try to mount the ﬁle system again.

069 WARNING: msgcnt x: mesg 069: V-2-69: memory usage speciﬁed by the

vxfs:vxfs_ninode and vxfs:vx_bc_bufhwm parameters exceeds

available memory; the system may hang under heavy load

• Description

The value of the system tunable parameters-vx_ninode and

vx_bc_bufhwm-add up to a value that is more than 66% of the kernel

virtual address space or more than 50% of the physical system memory.

VxFS inodes require approximately one kilobyte each, so both values can

be treated as if they are in units of one kilobyte.

• Action

To avoid a system hang, reduce the value of one or both parameters to

less than 50% of physical memory or to 66% of kernel virtual memory. For

more information on performance and tuning, see Chapter 2, “VxFS

Performance: Creating, Mounting, and Tuning File Systems,” on page 37S

NOTE: The tunable parameter vx_ninode is used to set the value of

vxfs_ninode.
