Solaris 9 zabbix agent 2.4.4 -- cannot create Semaphore

[jstefano]

Hi zabbix gurus,

need a help here with an old Solaris 9 and zabbix agent 2.4.4
when starting, getting this error:

zabbix_agentd [24872]: cannot create Semaphore: [28] No space left on device
zabbix_agentd [24872]: unable to create mutex for log file
zabbix_agentd [81]: cannot create Semaphore: [28] No space left on device
zabbix_agentd [81]: unable to create mutex for log file
zabbix_agentd [14799]: cannot create Semaphore: [28] No space left on device

zabbix_agentd [12356]: cannot create Semaphore: [28] No space left on device
zabbix_agentd [12356]: unable to create mutex for log file


checked semaphores:

...anybody has any idea how to fix this problem?

Many thanks in advance!!!

You need to increase number of semaphores. It would be better as well if you would try to use at least zabbix 3.4 if not 4.0.
