When I use vddk to read some sectors of a virtual disk, I received this error message:
Warning: [NFC ERROR] NfcFssrvrProcessErrorMsg: received NFC error 5 from server: Failed to allocate the requested 33554456 bytes
I check /var/log/vpxa.log on ESXi host and found
2018-09-04T10:50:04.188Z warning vpxa[8DC4B70] [Originator@6876 sub=Libs opID=lro-109-6cde2fa7] [NFC ERROR] NfcCheckAndReserveMem: Cannot allocate any more memory as NFC is already using 33554456 and allocating 33554456 will make it more than the maximum allocated: 50331648. Please close some sessions and try again
I have tried to modify maximum allocated memory of nfc as VMware Knowledge Base , but it does not work. An warning message in /var/log/hostd.log says
2018-09-04T07:54:29.849Z warning hostd[FFA30AE0] [Originator@6876 sub=Libs] [NFC ERROR] Nfc_SetServerMemoryLimits : maxMemLimit is greater than the default Nfc limit
and the maximum memory is not changed.
I have three questions:
- Can nfc allocates a small memory when A new disk read request comes?
- How to correctly increase the maximum allocated memory of nfc?
- How to solve this problem and is there some things I missed?
