How to solve the Sybase client error "cs_ctx_alloc -> CS_FAIL"

Check if your Netprobe or Gateway process has enough file descriptors.

When Netprobe ran out of file descriptors

Netprobe log entries:

<Wed Jun 7 18:11:22> ERROR: VERITAS-CLUSTER-SERVER Failed: Problem executing hastatus command to check status of veritas [hastatus -summ]

<Wed Jun 7 18:11:22> ERROR: PROCESSES Could not get the number of logical processors (24)

<Wed Jun 7 18:12:22> ERROR: Failed to execute Processes Gateway - plugin PROCESSES timed out

<Wed Jun 7 18:12:22> INFO: CONMGR Details: checkListenPortActivity(); ; 24; -890; accept() failed;

Ensure the Sybase client locales folder has no issues.

SYBASE environment variable must point to the directory where the locales folder is located.
locales folder must be present.
Value of session's $LANG variable does not match any value in locales/locales.dat. Below shows how to check this:
- [sandbox@lawin sybase]$ echo $LANG
  
  en_US.UTF-8
  
  [sandbox@lawin sybase]$ grep "en_US.UTF-8" locales/locales.dat
  
  locale = en_US.UTF-8, us_english, utf8
  
  locale = en_US.UTF-8, us_english, utf8
  
  locale = en_US.UTF-8, us_english, utf8
