STEPS TO RECYCLE THE SHARED MEMORY:
1. Stop all the processes which use the SPMI shared library
(xmservd,filtd, xmperf, 3dmon, ptxrlog, harmd, topas, any PSSP process)
if they are currently running your AIX LPAR.
2. Stop the ITM system P agents (PX, PK, PH) that you have running on
this system.
3. To find if any zombie processes are running on your machine.
a. Run
# ps -ef | grep Provider
Kill each one of them "kill <pid>
b. Run
ps -ef | grep kpkagent
ps -ef | grep kpxagent
ps -ef | grep kphagent
Kill each one of them "kill <pid>"
c. Check if there are any defunct processes
"ps -ef | grep defunct"
4. Kill the processes that are using the shared memory.
genld -l | grep -p Spmi
5. Run "ipcs -m" command and check for any segment "KEY" that begins
with '0x78', as listed below:
T ID KEY
m 0 0xc76283cc
m 1 0x78002323
If there are any such segments starting with 0x78, make sure the process
which uses those shared segments is stopped (or terminate it with kill
command)
6. Then run: "ipcrm -m <ID #>" to clear the shared memory segments.
7. Run "slibclean"
8. Restart system P agents - PH PX PK
