Symptoms
Data Domain Physical Capacity Measurement (PCM) tasks fail and exit with code 333.When viewing the Data Domain messages.engineering log file from the CLI, and searching for matches of "exited with code: 333", we see;
# log view debug/messages.engineering
Mar 11 14:00:02 example-dd ddsh: NOTICE: MSG-DDSH-00017: (tty=, session=1230, client_IP=) sysadmin: command "compression physical-capacity-measurement sample start force priority normal objects-from-schedule pcm-schedule" exited with code: 333
Cause
The PCM jobs failed because the system does not allow more than 8 of them to be running at any given time. The messages.engineering log shows:
Mar 11 14:00:02 example-dd ddsh: ERROR: **** Operation is rejected because the system doesn't allow more than 8 identical operations running at the same time.
Mar 11 14:00:02 example-dd ddsh: NOTICE: MSG-DDSH-00017: (tty=, session=1230, client_IP=) sysadmin: command "compression physical-capacity-measurement sample start force priority normal objects-from-schedule pcm-schedule" exited with code: 333
Resolution
This behavior is by design and is intended to prevent excessive resource usage by running too many simultaneous system operations.
