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//limits
Max locked memory unlimited unlimited bytes => the value changes from 65536 to unlimited
Run the Oracle database or FS backup from NetWorker NMC.
