Receiving `errno=Cannot allocate memory` and `File access error: cart BP9011 data file 350 read failed` against the `vtl` process within logs during high load
Issue
- During heavier than normal load times, a third party process
vtl
fails to have memory allocated to its process and logs the following to/var/log/messages
:
vtl[13203]: (14120) 3830: File access error: cart BP9011 data file 350 read failed
- The following errors are also seen within the custom
vtf_internal.log
file that's associated with this third partyvtl
process:
vtl[13203]: (13509)[ERROR]: Sctp: SctpEngine::Send: sendmsg() failed - size=5760, charsSent=4294967295, errno=Cannot allocate memory
- When the system reaches this condition, all the threads start to fail and the only way to get out of this condition is to reboot both nodes in the cluster.
