CSCvm97558

storfs restarted due to Out of Memory

Affected Platforms:

Cisco HyperFlex Systems running the following software versions

HyperFlex HX Data Platform Releases: 3.0(1a), 3.0(1b), 3.0(1c), 3.0(1d), 3.0(1e), 3.0(1h)

Symptom:

The HyperFlex controller VM restarts and a ‘Out of memory’ stack trace is seen in /var/log/kern.log

Conditions:

Controller VM is initially at the high end of memory consumption when the nightly ASUP causes the cluster to temporarily become unhealthy due to a large spike in memory usage.

Workaround:

Recommended - Upgrade HX Data Platform to Release 3.0(1i).

Optional - In case you see the issue and an upgrade cannot be done immediately, disable HTTPS based nightly ASUP collection using the following command

(From a SSH session to the controller)

# stcli services sch disable

After subsequent upgrade to release 3.0(1i), enable ASUP using the following command:

# stcli services sch enable
