Good morning. I was wondering if anyone has experienced a problem similar to this. Here is the setup.
2 ClusterXL Active / Standby Clusters. 2 members each. One cluster is now running R60 HFA05 and the other HFA04. Both clusters are RHEL3.0 for OS and not SPLAT. All 4 servers are running on DL360's with 2GB or more of ram and are running in SMP mode. Over the past few months I've noticed that whichever cluster member is active in each cluster has a fw ctl pstat read out for hmem as the examples below. I know there were issues with Broadcom nics and Clusterxl but we have those disabled and they seem to be out of this scenario. Internal Cluster Active member pstat for hmem Hash kernel memory (hmem) statistics: Total memory allocated: 31457280 bytes in 7672 4KB blocks using 8 pools Initial memory allocated: 6291456 bytes (Hash memory extended by 25165824 byte s) Memory allocation limit: 31457280 bytes using 512 pools Total memory bytes used: 24679232 unused: 6778048 (21.55%) peak: 2463684 8 Total memory blocks used: 7672 unused: 0 (0%) peak: 7672 Allocations: 367577057 alloc, 4819638 failed alloc, 367460490 free External Cluster Active member pstat for hmem Hash kernel memory (hmem) statistics: Total memory allocated: 31457280 bytes in 7671 4KB blocks using 9 pools Initial memory allocated: 6291456 bytes (Hash memory extended by 25165824 bytes) Memory allocation limit: 31457280 bytes using 512 pools Total memory bytes used: 26327976 unused: 5129304 (16.31%) peak: 27140032 Total memory blocks used: 7671 unused: 0 (0%) peak: 7671 Allocations: 2432183286 alloc, 75845782 failed alloc, 2432006434 free Both clusters have capacity optimization set to auto. Now I would have believed that this readout was simply a Checkpoint feature but about a month back upon noticing these number (actually this was going on for 3 or 4 months), I adjusted the memory parameters to about double in the Capacity Optimization sceen of the Cluster object. Since that time I have been getting kernal panics about every 7 to 10 days. Does anybody have any recommendations for hmem settings or info that this may be some sort of bug in NGX? I do already have a ticket opened with Checkpoint on this but figured I would shoot out an email to the list. Let me know if anyone needs any further info from me and thanks in advance.
