[Info-vax] system-f-vasfull problem on alpha vms 7.1

[Chris Casey]

Hi guys,

I am having some performance issues and at the same time seeing the
above errors when doing common functions such as sh dev/m. As yet my
applications are not receiving these errors but they are seeing image
activation times of 7 secs plus and increasing slowly.

I have spent ages trying to see what is going wrong but have not been
able to find too much about this error and its possible causes as all
my searches find solutions that only seem to apply to vax vms.

It takes about 80 days after a reboot for this issue to reappear and I
only get a few days to look at it before being forced to reboot.

I am assuming that it has something to do with some sort of memory
laddering but am stuck as to how to track it much further than that. I
have been around VMS for longer than I care to remember but have never
had to get into the depths of memory issues like this before so am a
bit stuck.

Any pointers on where to start tackling or investigating this issue
would be much appreciated as thus far I have gone around in circles.

I am running Alpha VMS 7.1 on an Alpha 4100.
The applications are DSM 7.1 based.
