This is actually a small test LUN.

Size: 110GB
Used: 58.55GB
Available: 51.45GB
Size of test machine: 25GB (including SWAP and .vmdks)

I could clear the entire lun or add more space if you think that would
help.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] VCB Error 36

I'm configuring a new VMWare infrastructure with VCB 1.1 on an existing
NBU 6.5.1 install on Windows 2003.  I've got everything running, and I
thought it was going well until error 36.  Here's what I've noticed.
 
Policy Fires - Creates Parent Job
In VMFS Datastore a snapshot is created for the VM I'm backing up VMFS
Snapshot disappears and snapshots appear on backup proxy Parent Job
Creates Child Job Child Job fails with Error 36 "Out of Memory"
 
The system has plenty of memory available.  I've looked at the bpcd,
bprd and bpfis logs and the only thing that look promising is the
following:
 
>>From the bpfis log on the proxy:
12:22:13.562 [3880.5832] <2> rebuild_fim_list: Virtual_machine_backup=2

12:22:19.171 [3880.5832] <4> bpfis: INF - EXIT STATUS 0: the requested

I've looked at all the systems involved and they all have plenty (3+ GB
Free) of ram avalible.  Any ideas?
