ZCM Content Replication fails with errors 'Insufficient space to replicate content' and/or 'too many open files'

ZCM on SLES server fails to replicate content with error 'Insufficient space to replicate content' .

 

ZCM on SLES server fails to replicate content with error 'Too many open files' .

 

SLES content volumes have Gigabytes (GB), 50 - 100 or more, of free space.

This is fixed in version 11.2 - see KB 7010044 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2 - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://www.novell.com/support

 

Workaround:

 

Make a backup copy of /etc/security/limits.conf file.

 

Change the /etc/security/limits.conf by adding a zenworks entry.

 

Example from limits.conf :

 

#@student                       hard       nproc              20

#@faculty                       soft       nproc              20

#@faculty                       hard       nproc              50

#@student                       -          maxlogins          4

 

After editing the limits.conf is complete and the file is saved, restart the server.

To see the file system maximum:  sysctl -A | grep fs.file-max , or cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max .
