Low Kernal parameter settings will cause this error.
RESOLUTION 1:
The above errors are a result of low system settings.
Log on as root.
List the current kernel parameters with the sysconfig -q ipc command at the UNIXprompt.
#/sbin/sysconfig -q ipc
#/sbin/sysconifgdb -l ip
The following kernel parameters need to be set at the minimum specified below. The first one sem_msl is not currently listed in documentation, but this parameter will be updated in our documentation:
sem_msl 128
sem_opm 64
sem_mni 70
sem_ume 255
RESOLUTION2:
Check the paramdb file from vardir/data directory and look for the value corresponding to SP_QUE_MAX_QUEUES. Default value for this is 25 and If this is set to a higher value than the Kernal parameters, reduce this and restart sp_cop.
