CIM_ERR_LOW_ON_MEMORY Error Occurs When Trying to Add Data With WBEM (4312409)

The following error message is displayed when memory is low:


CIM_ERR_LOW_ON_MEMORY
You cannot add more entries when the Common Information Model (CIM) Object Manager has run low on memory. You must reset the CIM Object Manager Repository.

Workaround: To reset the CIM Object Manager Repository:

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Stop the CIM Object Manager.


    # /etc/init.d/init.wbem stop
    

  3. Remove the JavaSpaces log directory.


    # /bin/rm -rf /var/sadm/wbem/log
    

  4. Restart the CIM Object Manager.


    # /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
    


    Note -

    You will lose any proprietary definitions in your datastore. You must recompile the MOF files that contain those definitions using the mofcomp command. For example:


    # /usr/sadm/bin/mofcomp -u root -p root_password your_mof_file
