MATLAB: Do I receive the error “vendor daemon died with status 39” in the logfile on the Sun Solaris server

39daemondiedMATLABsignalsolarisstatusvendorwith

Why do I receive the following error in my logfile on my Sun Solaris server?

     9:10:08 (lmgrd) Vendor daemon died with status 39
     9:10:08 (lmgrd) Since this is an unknown status, lmgrd will
     9:10:08 (lmgrd) attempt to re-start the vendor daemon.
     9:10:08 (lmgrd) REStarted MLM (internet tcp_port 63984 pid 2320)

This is a known bug in the Solaris operating system. It is SUN bug #1200460.

To work around this issue, add the following line in the SOL2 section of the

$MATLAB/etc/lmopts.sh script,

(where $MATLAB = MATLABs root directory on your machine)

 ulimit -n 1024

This line can be added anywhere in the SOL2 section as long as it is not in the IF Statement. If this does not solve the problem, you can also try putting the above ulimit statement in /etc/init.d/lmgrd right before calling lmboot instead of in lmopts.sh.

MATLAB: Does the license manager quit with the error: “Vendor daemon died with status 240”

This error can occur when the operating system running the license manager runs out of file descriptors. It is known to happen on Solaris and Linux systems.

On Solaris, this is a known bug in the Solaris operating system. It does not allow for more than 256 file descriptors. To workaround this issue, add the following line to the file: $MATLAB/etc/lmopts.sh (where $MATLAB is the installation folder on your machine)

ulimit -n 1024

This line can be added anywhere in the SOL2 section as long as it is not in the IF Statement. Once added, restart the license manager. The license manager should now be able to start successfully.

Similar ulimit statements can be used on other operating systems to expand the number of file descriptors available to the vendor daemon.

MATLAB: Am I receiving license manager error -16 when starting FLEXlm 8.0d on a Solaris 9 machine

This issue has been corrected in MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1). MATLAB 6.5.1 (R13SP1) is now supported on Solaris 9. If you are using a previous version, see the following workaround:

To change the limit of your file descriptors, add the following line in the SOL2 section of the $MATLABROOT/etc/lmopts.sh script.

 ulimit -n 1024

This line can be added anywhere in the SOL2 section as long as it is not in the IF Statement. Note that $MATLABROOT refers to the MATLAB root directory.

If this does not solve the problem, you can also try putting the above ulimit statement in /etc/init.d/lmgrd right before calling lmboot instead of in lmopts.sh.

For Example:

In lmopts.sh file Sol2 section, add the ulimit -n 1024 line following the line beginning with LM_BOOT_FRAGMENT.

 # Platform specific section:

     LM_BOOT_FRAGMENT=/etc/init.d/lmgrd
            ulimit -n 1024
