OACI IM log contains the error:

2015-06-21 14:10:04,363 () ERROR InstanceManager [RequestController-2] - Uncaught exeception encountered in thread: Thread[RequestController-2,10,main] java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread 
at java.lang.Thread.start0(Native Method) ~[na:1.6.0_45]
    at java.lang.Thread.start(Unknown Source) ~[na:1.6.0_45]

Cause

The underlying OS did not allow OACI service to create a new thread due to the nproc limit of PACI user.

Resolution

  1. Set nproc limits for PACI user as unlimited in /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf:

    # Default limit for number of user's processes to prevent
# accidental fork bombs.
# See rhbz #432903 for reasoning.
*          soft    nproc     1024
root       soft    nproc     unlimited
PACI       soft    nproc     unlimited
  2. Restart OACI IM services per the article: How to restart OACI Instance Manager services?
