OT: Any ESXI experts on here?

Posted by Jeff Ledbetter on 15-Feb-2017 14:26

We have been googling far and wide without much luck..

On our ESXI 5.5 server, the Dell Server Administrator engine doesn't want to start-up due to "a semaphore set has to be created but the system limit for the maximum number of semaphore sets has been exceeded".

It seems like normal linux-like commands are not available to view or modify this are not available.

ipcs -a

will list all semaphores, shared memory, and message queues and their owners

forgot to mention that you can use the ipcrm command to delete things. read man page first

I sure wish that command were available in the ESXI hyper-visor but it is not.

then you are going to have to restart it.

unless there is some other tool that will do the job, but that is beyond my meager knowledge
