- I've gotten lot's of responses saying that VIRTUALPAGECNT is probably the
- culprit. I think I need to give more information :-)
-
- I have a cluster with 6610, 6420 and 6410. They use a common sysdump.dmp and
- uaf. The 6610 and 6420 have idential virtualpagecnt (270144) and memory
- (262144 pages). The 6610 has no problem reading the dump, the 6420 gets
- virtual memory exhausted using the same USERNAMES. They have identical size
- pagefiles (and number of pagefiles).
-
- I can try increasing virtualpagecnt, but then I would need to understand why it
- would work at the current level on the 6610. Any further thoughts?
-
- Thanks to all my respondents so far (I tried replying to each, but the numbers
- were getting a bit large :-)
