So i have a host node running 20 VEs.
From time to time HN just hangs, no ping, no ssh response. i have to reboot it by powercycling to bring it back to work.
Its 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5.028stab064.4PAE running centos 5.2

and as you can see from /var/log/messages from 10.49 to 11.25 (reboot time) server doesnt respond.

Where do i look? I have same thing happening from time to time with 2-3 of my servers.

Oh. You overcommitment very very very much. See, for LowMem you have a value of 50000%, while normal values for your number of containers is about 100 to 120%.

See much more detailed description here: http://wiki.openvz.org/UBC_systemwide_configuration. Learn to use UBCs.

And why doesnt memory use swap space? I mean system memory. I know that individual VE has no swap.
Lets say system memory usage reaches its top, what happens next?
In my situation system just hangs and needs a reboot.

Thanks.

AFAIK, low memory is kernel memory (kmemsize + socket buffers) and should be related to vmguarpages and numprocs. Look up in the wiki! And validate your config with vzcfgvalidate.

However, IMO your overall mem commitment is very high too. The MemSwap commit is 1355% (!) and this should be somewhere at 100% as far as I understand. Because if it is not, you promise your containers more memory than you have in your HN.

You will need to read up on this. See the above posts.

Most expert forum users will ignore you and other newbies -unless you prove yourself and/or it helps the paid tools guys.

You were lucky so far Wink

. Use a webgui to run your VZ nodes, if you do not have the time to learn and tinker on your own. Some vz manager software will make sure you do not overcommit resources and even adjust your UBCs for you.

Just remember there is a war in progress: vz/xen/vmware among other virtualization tech. (and of course the paid vs. free tools.)
