Cause:
========
The error occured because the expected shared memory size (see parameter memorysize) exceeds the limit allowed by the system which is defined by the max-shm-memory kernel parameter.

Resolution:
==========
Increase the max-shm-memory kernel parameter to a larger value than the node memory size.
