Situation
There is a condition that exists where running any
memory-monitoring utility on the server could cause an abend (i.e.
SEG, NRM, iManager). The abends can differ somewhat, but the stack
always shows us going through the call
PORTAL.NLM|SHealthMonitorProcess. Below is an example
stackwalk:
0032A97C SERVER.NLM|AnalyzeCache+60
81827EC8 0023CCFF SERVER.NLM|GetLogicalSpaceInfo+3F
81827F0C 83E377A3 PORTAL.NLM|SHealthMonitorProcess+3C7
81827FE4 00222D48 SERVER.NLM|TcoNewSystemThreadEntryPoint+40
0032A97C SERVER.NLM|AnalyzeCache+60
81827EC8 0023CCFF SERVER.NLM|GetLogicalSpaceInfo+3F
81827F0C 83E377A3 PORTAL.NLM|SHealthMonitorProcess+3C7
81827FE4 00222D48 SERVER.NLM|TcoNewSystemThreadEntryPoint+40
Resolution
This abend is resolved in SERVER.EXE dated April 11 or later. This
can be found in patch NW65OS5a.exe.
