Symptoms

NetWorker manual and scheduled backup failure as it starts. Oracle installed on the Linux operating system

Cause

On Oracle client host: #ps -ef | grep nsrexecd (take note of the process ID PID for next command) #cat /proc/PID/limits Output shows: Max locked memory 65536 65536 bytes

Resolution

On Oracle client host: cd /etc/systemd/system ls -ltr | grep networker.service output will be: networker.service -> /opt/nsr/admin/networker.service vi /opt/nsr/admin/networker.service Append the line below to networker.service (do not change any other line entry in networker.service): LimitMEMLOCK=infinity Save the networker.service Then run the below commands: systemctl daemon-reload systemctl restart networker ps -ef | grep nsrexecd (take note of the process ID PID for next command) cat /proc/<PID in above command>/limits Max locked memory unlimited unlimited bytes => the value changes from 65536 to unlimited Run the Oracle database or FS backup from NetWorker NMC.
