KB#00954-BLM will not Start on Sun Solaris, FLEXlm error -16
Title:
BLM will not Start on Sun Solaris, FLEXlm error -16
Description:
The following error message is received in the BLM log file:
>16:41:51 (basis) Server started on server_name for: PRO5_DEV
>16:41:51 (basis) Vendor daemon can't talk to lmgrd (Cannot read data from
>license server (-16,287:22 "Invalid argument"))
>16:41:51 (lmgrd) Vendor daemon died with status 39
>16:41:51 (lmgrd) Since this is an unknown status, lmgrd will
>16:41:51 (lmgrd) attempt to re-start the vendor daemon.
The file will grow extremely large in a short amount of time as it attempts to start the vendor daemon. It is necessary to kill the blm process id.
Resolution:
Modify the BasisRunLM file to include the following lines:
#!/bin/sh
ulimit -n 1024
ulimit -n -H 1024
Or create a script file :
#!/bin/sh
ulimit -n 1024
ulimit -n -H 1024
/path/basis/blmgr/BasisRunLM
The same error can also occur on the client side if the ulimit is set too high for the user that is starting PRO/5 and so the same thing needs to be added to whatever script the users are using to run PRO/5.
