Here is a screenshot of my three nodes and their increased memory usage over 30 days. Note that node #2 had 1 single VM that had 4GB of RAM assigned to it. I had since shut it down and saw no memory reclamation occur. Further, I flushed page caches and inodes and ran 'sync'. I tried everything but nothing brought the memory usage down. vdsm was low too (couple hundred MB)

and there was no qemu-kvm process running so I'm at a loss http://imgur.com/a/aFPcK Please advise on what I can do to debug this. Note I have restarted node 2 (which is why you see the drop) to see if it raises in memory use over tim even with no VM's running

Hi Nir - Thanks for getting back to me. Will the patch to 3.6 be backported to 3.5?

As you can tell from the images, it takes days and days for it to increase over time. I also wasnt sure if that was the right bug because VDSM memory shows normal from top ... PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 5134 vdsm 0 -20 4368m 111m 10m S 2.0 0.3 3709:28 vdsm

Res is only 111M. This is from node1 which is showing currently 20GB of 32GB used with only 2 VMs running on it - 1 with 4G and another with ~1 GB of RAM configured The images are from nagios and the value here is a direct correlation to what you would see in the free command output. See below from an example of node 1 and node 2 [compute[root@node1 ~]$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 32765316 20318156 12447160 252 30884 628948 -/+ buffers/cache: 19658324 13106992 Swap: 19247100 0 19247100 [compute[root@node1 ~]$ free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 31997 19843 12153 0 30 614 -/+ buffers/cache: 19199 12798 Swap: 18795 0 18795 And its correlated image http://i.imgur.com/PZLEgyx.png (~19GB used) And as a control, node 2 that I just restarted today [compute[root@node2 ~]$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 32765316 1815324 30949992 212 35784 717320 -/+ buffers/cache: 1062220 31703096 Swap: 19247100 0 19247100

Note how 1772 in the image is exactly what is registered under 'used' in free command

Hi Nir - do you have a release target date for 3.5.8? Any estimate would help.

If its not VDSM, what is it exactly? Sorry, I understood from the ticket

CentOS 6 is the servers. 6.7 to be exact I have done all forms of flushing that I can (page cache, inodes,

Sandro - Do you have available documentation that can support upgrading self hosted? I followed this http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-5/ Would it be as easy as installing the RPM and then running yum upgrade?

Thanks Sandro. Should clarify my storage is external on a redundant SAN. The steps I was concerned about was the actual upgrade. I tried to upgrade before and it brought my entire stack crumbling down so I'm hesitant. This bug seems like a huge bug that should at least somehow backported if at all possible because, to me, it renders the entire 3.5.6 branch unusable as no VMs can be deployed since OOM will eventually kill them. In any case that's just my opinion and I'm a new user to ovirt. The docs I followed originally got me going how I need and somehow didn't work for 3.6 in the same fashion so naturally I'm hesitant to upgrade but clearly have no option if I want to continue my infrastructure on ovirt. Thank you again for taking the time out to assist me, I truly appreciate it. I will try an upgrade next week and pray it all goes well :-) On Jan 23, 2016 12:40 AM, "Sandro Bonazzola" <sbonazzo(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: > > > On Fri, Jan 22, 2016 at 10:53 PM, Charles Kozler <charles(a)fixflyer.com&gt; > wrote: > >> Sandro - >> >> Do you have available documentation that can support upgrading self >> hosted?

Sorry to be clear..the only way to resolve the memory leak I am facing now is to upgrade to el7?

Also the engine can stay running on el6 yes?

I successfully upgraded my engine to ovirt 3.6 in el6. Do I need to make my engine vm el7 too?

Thank you. I am in the process of upgrading my nodes to 7 although since the upgrade of my engine to ovirt 3.6 the network on the VM itself has become very instable. Ping packets are unresponsive from time to time and I cannot get a reliable SSH connection. My guess is something inside ovirt 3.6 does not like to run on a 3.5 node (expected I guess) and something is occurring inside of the brains somewhere. My hope now is to get my EL7 node up and running and hopefully join it to my cluster then start my hosted engine there On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 3:12 PM, Nir Soffer <nsoffer(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: > On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 7:52 PM, Charles Kozler <charles(a)fixflyer.com&gt; > wrote: > > Sorry to be clear..the only way to resolve the memory leak I am facing > now > > is to upgrade to el7? > > If you want to use official packages, yes. > > But this is free software, so *you* are free to build your own package. > > The patches you need are in the ovirt-3.5 branch: > https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/tree/ovirt-3.5 > > You clone vdsm, checkout this branch, and build it.
