Error with memory allocation when running readout.exe

Dear experts,

When running readout.exe file://readout.cfg , we are getting an Error:

Please point me to the way to solve this problem?

Thanks,

As said in the error message, you can check (as root) that you have enough hugepage buffer allocated on this machine with hugeadm --pool-list

According to the message you sent by email yesterday afternoon,
the machine has only 4G allocated but you are trying to use 8G.

cheers,
Sylvain
