Subject: Memory issues Domino 8.5 on Linux
Feedback Type: Problem
Product Area: Domino Server
Technical Area: Crash
Platform: Linux server
Release: 8.5.2
Reproducible: Intermittent

I am running 8.5 FP2 on a Linux VPS I rented. When the server starts, I keep getting these errors:

Error - can't open /proc/sys/fs/file-max.
errno: 13
Permission denied
Error - can't open /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax.
errno: 13
Permission denied
Error - can't open /proc/sys/kernel/sem.
errno: 13
Permission denied
Error - can't open /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout.
errno: 13

Error - can't open /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_syn_backlog.

errno: 13
Permission denied
Error - can't open /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range.
errno: 13

I have found a technote describing this issue, and the fix:

https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21279813

Unfortunately, this does not solve my issue. The tunekrnl file seems set correctly:

-r-sr-xr-x 1 root root 52824 Aug 11 2010 tunekrnl

So the permissions for tunekrnl are right (and I have also tried with root:daemon, which didn't help), and yet I keep getting this error.

I suspect this is causing problems for my Domino server, as it keeps crashing multiple times a day, with errors such as these:

** Error attaching to shared memory [loc=AllocSharedRegion,error code=12,ptr=ffffffff] -- check Notes configuration variables (ConstrainedSHMSizeMB, PercentAvailSysResources).

I have toyed around with these notes.ini variables, but never gotten the server to stabilize.

Some info on the Linux server:

[notes@host ~]$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.27.4-vs2.3.0.35.9 (root@iad01-06-05-15.openvps.net) (gcc version 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)) #2 SMP Sat Nov 8 15:47:45 EST 2008
[notes@host ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)

Any ideas are welcome!
