Hello all
i have the following problem
the server average load get too high over 80 or even 100 suddenly then gets okay from itself when i run top command i cannot find anything causing this and when i run top on the hosted vps i cannot find any processes having too much load

Hardware node specifications
P4 3.6 HT dual core
1 GB of ram
3 GB swap
kernel
Linux node.xxxx.org 2.6.8-022stab078.21-smp #1 SMP Sat Sep 9 00:34:35 MSD 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

i have 3 vps hosted on the server and they run cpanel with few websites on each vps
and the conf file for each one have this

DISABLED="no"
CLASSID="2"

DISKINODES="2147483647:2147483647"
QUOTATIME="2147483647"
CPUUNITS="100000"

so what is the configuration recommended so each vps cannot use up all cpu resources and make the load average over 80 and make all other vps and the node itself inaccessible i also want to limit maximum usage of ram to 350 Mb each
and will this conf be good for a cpanel vps or not
waiting your reply
thanks

This isn't a vz specific question, realistically you should read about how to monitor system resources and rates in the Linux OS. Obviously, some metric is exhausted. cpu power, memory, disk io, etc.

send us the output of:
vmstat 5 (let it run for a minute)
iostat -k 5 (run for a minute)
free -m

I can probably point you in the right direction.

If you are asking why one vps could be overrunning the entire node, send us the output of:

vzmemcheck -vA
vzcpucheck -v

im sorry im new to vz i just want to prevent one vps from making the Hardware node to reach high values and slows down everything

thanks for your help

Based on your output, your server load is fine right now. Give us the output of those commands when the problem happens. Your cpu and memory allocation parameters look ok.

The HN load value is not a huge concern for you, since its possible for one VE to have 75 concurrent processes, while its cpu usage is limited by the cpulimit. In such a scenario, the HN load would then be 75++, but the speed of the other VPS should not be effected. If this is incorrect, someone please correct me.

Hello
the problem is that when the load is suddenly rise from 0.25 to 95 , 100 or even more
i cannot login to the server and if im already inside i can run no command and i have to hard reboot the whole server

so please guide me on how to limit the cpu usage to 300 MHZ only and 256 as a maximum and hard limit for each vps so if one vps experience too high load then its only that vps affected and not the whole server
thanks in advance

You can limit these vps to 15% of the cpu power each, the maximum usage from those VPS will be 30% of the entire Hardware Node

vzctl set 101 --cpulimit 15 --save
vzctl set 102 --cpulimit 15 --save

Cpu units are no more than one sugestion, if you want to limit the power usage of each VPS you should use cpulimit

hello
after applying this and restarting vz and both vps i got this only after few seconds

Hardware Node
16:01:20 up 1:43, 4 users, load average: 22.78, 11.85, 6.71
VE 101
22:01:21 up 11 min, 0 users, load average: 1.13, 0.56, 0.34
VE 102
22:01:28 up 11 min, 0 users, load average: 20.34, 10.38, 4.86

also how can i gurantee 128 MB ram with maximum of 250 MB ram for each vps and how can i calculate how much Mb is their current usage ? i know i ask too many questions but many many thanks for your help

when you are limiting VEs your loadavg can go higher due to delayed VEs processeses and it is ok.

So you need to understand first what is your problem...
loadavg?
or node hangs and your statement that sometimes node becomes inaccessiable?

BTW, try loading kernel with "elevator=cfq". under some load patterns this decreases loadavg and makes disk I/O feel better.

hellothe problem is that one vps suddenly has its load average hit the roof to 80-90 and the load average on the hardware node get too high as well and reach over 100 load average therefore the hardware node itself becomes inaccessible
i just want to prevent the ve from increasing the load average of the hardware node to that very high amount

also how to load kernel with "elevator=cfq"

i appreciate your help

As I said before, and as Dev verified, the load value of the HN is not a primary indicator of the server being *slow*, overrun, overcommited, or generally a problem situation. Sinces your VEs have a low cpu limit, their running procs get queued. Since the load is just the number of processes that are "trying to run at the same time", this should seem normal. Think if one VE had a cpulimit of 2 (very very low) and launched 50 concurrent running processes. This would absolutely add 50 to your HN load while using very little cpu resources. In this case, despite your HN having a load of 50, your server is extremely responsive, the other VEs are uneffected, and overall there is no general problem.

You put the cfq scheduler definition in the grub.conf as a boot argument to your kernel.

Hello
i understand that problem configuration of the ve should lead to node stability but in my case the node becomes inaccessible

i have this in my grub so how to add

title CentOS VZ smp (2.6.8-022stab078.21-smp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-022stab078.21-smp ro root=/dev/sda7 acpi=ht
initrd /initrd-2.6.8-022stab078.21-smp.img

so it should be after modifictaions

title CentOS VZ (2.6.8-022stab078.21-smp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-022stab078.21-smp ro root=/dev/sda7 acpi=ht elevator=cfq
initrd /initrd-2.6.8-022stab078.21-smp.img

also what about my previous question "how can i gurantee 128 MB ram with maximum of 250 MB ram for each vps and how can i calculate how much Mb is their current usage ? i know i ask too many questions but many many thanks for your help "

if node becomes inaccessiable, try collect some information about why. For this you can do the following:

1. connect your box to another one with serial cable and install serial console. (http://wiki.openvz.org/Remote_console_setup)
Make sure all that it works and messages are saved on the 2nd box.

2. load vzwdog module. It will print some health information every minute.

3. When your node becomes inaccessiable press Alt-SysRq-P 5 times and 1 time Alt-SysRq-T and Alt-SysRq-m
(http://wiki.openvz.org/Magic_SysRq_Key)
Collect these message from 2nd node and send/post for us.

The only way to guarantee is to have enough memory.
You can also set oomguarpages/vmguarpages limit to this value to make sure that VE gets its guarantees even in case of global shortage.

Use privvmpages to set upper boundary on user memory.

Hello
thanks for your help
i wish i could do that but its a dedicated server on a DC i cannot connect a serial cable or anything to it as i only have ssh access to it

but what is the benefit of elevator=cfq what does that do i tried searching the forums nobody has talked about it
also
the ram , memory limitations are obscure to me in openvz

could you please provide a sample configuration file to use for a server in order to gurantee 128 Mb ram with max of 256 MB of ram and 333 MHZ of cpu please

it is known that anticipatory elevator used by default in 2.6.8 can sometimes lead to high loadaverages, and cfq behaves much better.

use vzsplit to "split" your node equal pieces. or take a look at example configs in /etc/vz/conf
