zVM: 8 GB + 4 GB Exp. There are two guests with the described problem: guest1# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 995 987 8 0 58 349 -/+ buffers/cache: 578 416 Swap: 2047 416 1631 guest2# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 995 985 9 0 57 334 -/+ buffers/cache: 593 402 Swap: 2047 281 1766 All other guests with less workload don't have this problem. > If you drastically reduce its memory > allocation, things will move much better. I often read this hint on the mailinglist to reduce memory, but what if the application (SAP) needs it? Two days ago my guest2 got stuck because mem and swap was 100% used and it began to kill processes to free memory. I thought I have to add mem and swap... And: it doesn't get stuck. It's alive. I only cannot do any networking with it.
