ACE: Can't allocate resource class due to resource in use

danger_mousie · ‎11-03-2007

When I try to enter the member [resource_class] command under the context config mode I get...

Error: resources in use

Any idea how I get around this?

Note: I am trying to do this so that I can configure stickiness in my context and I get

Error: sticky resource not available

DJBuechner · ‎11-04-2007

The issue you are running into is that you have already allocated all of the sticky database resources. If for example you define a resource-class with a limit-resource command which specifies a minimum of 20% of the sticky database resources then you can only have 5 contexts as members of this resource-class (5 x 20 = 100). You will then get the "resources in use" message when you try to add a sixth context as a member.

This is the first resource class/context relatoionship I have created. There is the default class however, do I need to cut that down? I was planning to divide it between the 5 contexts anyway so 20% is fine. Have I understood correctly?

I think it is due to the fact that the resources themselves are in use, as the error says, not that they are allocated. How do I get around this, do I have to wipe he config, then create the resource classes? But I don't know what kind of resources are required for each application until SIT testing is done, and for that, I need the config in place.

DJBuechner · ‎11-04-2007

Could you attach or include your running-config from the Admin context as well as a copy of the output of 'show resource allocation'? These would be most helpful.

It's ok, I have it working now. I had to allocate all the 'not in use' resources individually, this included sticky. So it's fine now. Thanks for your help.
