AIX "InternalAlarm: Unable to get CPU data (temporarily out of resources)"

[WMeyerVantiv]

Hello. I am getting, "InternalAlarm: Unable to get CPU data (temporarily out of resources)" for a few of our AIX servers. I've tried multiple versions of CDM with no luck. The only solutions I have found are for windows.

 

Any known solutions for AIX? 

 

I'd really appreciate the help.

 

Thanks,

Download and deploy cdm v6.30

In cdm, via Raw Configure add the following parameter and value.

 

<cpu> section of cdm

 

Add a new key if it does not exist with the following value:

 

sliced_cpu_interval = 30

 

Lastly, please also check that the machine's NTP settings are correct and accurate. A few seconds of  drift may cause this issue.

Under Fixed Defects you will see:

The probe reported frequent internal errors for CPU and Memory on AIX 6.1 and 7.1. Support Case Number: 00803946

Thanks for your response Stephen.

 

I'm currently running 6.30 but still receiving this error. I did try to changed the sliced_cpu_interval from 1 to 30 but it did not seem to help. As for the NTP settings, everything looks fine.

 

We have a few AIX boxes that are reporting this issue. I will open up a case and go from there.

 

Thanks again for the info.
