Re: [Veritas-bu] commited memory growth on RHEL 4 and NBU 6.5.2

2008-10-15 Thread Dean
That's interesting Jon. I'll look into nbevtmgr.

But one thing I forgot to mention in my previous email is that
restarting NBU does not clear up the issue for me. That makes me think
it might be something to do with PBX or ICS.

 Restarting NBU (all of it or just nbevtmgr) seems to fix the problem.
 I just checked it now, and after 23 days, it is sitting on 2g of ram.
 Restarting it fixed a lot of things related to performance, and my swap
 utilization went way down.

 I'm 6.5.2a.

 Hello folks,

 We are running NBU 6.5.2 on RHEL 4 on Intel X86_64. The master server
 is a dedicated NBU master, there is one dedicated NBU Media Server
 (also RHEL 4 x86_64) and several RHEL 5 x86_64 SAN Media Servers.

 The master has 8 GB of RAM.

 I am seeing strange constant growth in commited memory usage, on the
 Master server only. Apparently this is memory being requested by an
 allocation, but not actually being used.

 It doesn't appear to be causing any problems, other than that memory
 utilisation graphs look pretty whacky

 This is not occuring on any of the media servers. I can't determine
 what process is allocating the memory.

 It's a standard RHEL 4 install with no other applications installed of note.

 I didn't actually notice it until our Linux admin installed this Munin
 monitoring tool which produced the graphs linked to above, at which
 time the commited memory was over 300GB. As you can see from the
 graphs, a reboot obviously clears it all out.

 Has anyone else seen this?

 Cheers,
 Dean
