Amanda Enterprise / Zmanda Recover Manager PHP Memory Exhausted

This article is for Amanda Enterprise (AE)

Issue Symptoms

• Getting a blank page when attempting to reach pages on the ZMC.
• In /opt/zmanda/amanda/apache2/logs/error_logs file output similar to:

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxx bytes exhausted (tried to allocate y bytes)

Issue Description

PHP limits the amount of memory per process to limit the impact of running scripts on the machine.

Resolution

• Navigate to Admin | preferences page within the ZMC.
• Select Advanced Options.
• Increase the Per-Process Memory Limit (a good starting point is likely 256 MiB, i.e. twice the default).
• Restart the ZMC service: /etc/init.d/zmc_??? restart Note: replace “???� with “aee� or “zrm� depending on your product.
