Hmmm - high "sys" CPU usage, high loadavg, system not talking to anyone. Smells like it's busy doing its own stuff. If it were me I'd want to know trends for things like swap-in and swap-out rates, tasks in uninterruptible sleep, context switch counts. SAR is too granular to be any use even if

Yes, I have pinged the repository server when using the manual setup program. I also FTPed the reader files from the repository server to LNXMAINT 192 disk. There are no firewalls that should be blocking this traffic. Is there a way to check the NFS connection from the manual setup program? Rud

Hi Mark, At the IBM devworks (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/development_recommended.html) I found that four-port OSA is supported with a patch against kernel 2.6.25. We are running in SLES10 SP2 at level 2.6.16. So does our system support this option? Regards, Berry. Op 27-07-

The memory sizes here look different than you posted before. You have 8G of memory here (well 8220492k) but only 780M of swap. Your WAS heap sizes totaled around 7G if I recall (28 JVMs x 256M ). You can see what the running heap size is with "ps -ef | grep Xmx" and look for the value on the Xm

Unfortunately it did not. It continued to grow and grow until oom killed in a loop. We're supposed to have a max size of 512MB per VM. Last time i did any WAS stuff was on Linux but on version 3 when it was new.. a long time ago. top - 14:04:46 up 2:09, 5 users, load average: 60.09, 18.03, 6.

Hi, Ruddy. We may be in a better position to help you diagnose your problem if we had a few more details. Can your SLES11 VM guest see the the repository server (FTP, HTTP, etc.) across the network? Is there a firewall between the repository and the VM guest? DJ On 07/27/2010 11:28 AM, Mel

WAS calls non-heap memory "native". That's what you seem to be using up. Look at this http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21373312 And if these things don't help, open a PMR with WAS support. Did it stabilize at 18G? The panic_on_oom is a good idea - you can then get a dump (set up a

Yes, but no memory ever gets freed. The system stops responding and is too busy dumping information to the console screen to respond to anything at the console or network. And a system-wide panic would provide me with a core file to analyze and send off; though the progress we've made thanks to t
