Novell-named on DSfW servers leaks memory

Hi,
before I open a SR, does this ring a bell for anyone? Any configuration
pitfalls?
Here the symptoms are that on all our 3 Xen-VMs running DSfW (OES11SP1
fully patched) novell-named reaches ~2GB virtual memory usage after 14
days and usually dies a few days later because of OOM (the VMs have 4GB
assigned). Only workaround I found so far is to set the cache size to 0,
but that's not what we want.
Any ideas?
Franz.

Hi Franz,
We are able to reproduce this issue in our local scale environment and have fixed the same in the forthcoming OES11 SP2 release. The same will be back ported to OES11 SP1 patches. You can expect the fix in the next OES11 SP1 patches.
Thanks,

  • Novell-named failed to start / 2nd DSFW server

    Posting this here in case anyone else runs into this and it took me some tinkering to figure it out.
    I was busy installing a 2nd DSFW server and ran into a named error during the provisioning where it would start successfully but fail in the 'is it really running' check.
    When manually starting novell-named it gives a successful start but then exits after a second or so.
    When checking /etc/opt/novell/named/ it turned out that there was no named.conf even after configuring the dns server from imanager.
    /var/opt/novell/log/named/named.run had
    Code:

    07-Mar-2012 16:26:08.359 general: server: critical: exiting (due to fatal error)
    What I ended up doing was copied the options { } bit from the already up and running DSFW server into the new one, adjusted the edir object names and then novell-named would start and keep running.
    It was however still giving login errors in the logfile, after remembering it used the servers commonproxy user I ran '/opt/novell/proxymgmt/bin/change_proxy_pwd.sh -A yes' (you can find this in crontab already) and then everything started to work for real after restarting novell-named.
    Somewhere along the line it lost the correct password for the proxy user but there is hardly any indication of this, it gave me enough searching around to post this :-)
    The manual creation of the named.conf file is *probably* not needed, but mentioning it just in case.
    also, it is safe to ignore the 'unable to authenticate to ldap with <insert AD with DC= credentials here>' error you get when your eDir ldap server you are using to install eDir is not a DSFW server, this gave me a 'hmmmm' moment too.

    It most likely is a problem with the casa credential. It could be the credentials are there but their is a mismatch with with the Common Proxy user's password.
    You can verify the common proxy user's password with
    common-proxy-casa-repair-tool
    Then run the novell-dns-casa-repair-tool to sync up the dns casa keys with the correct credentials.

  • Problem to cluster novell-named dns

    I have the novell-dns running on one node and I try to make it cluster enabled on an NSS-pool.
    I follow the documentation which is very confusing.
    It's really not clear, if we have to create a LUM-enabled user called "named" with UID 44 or just keep on using the local "named" user ?
    Actually if you create a lum user with the same name and uid as a local user it gives problem...
    And if you use the default user, it does not work, the rights are not set up on the NSS pool.
    Does anyone already clustered a novell-named DNS ?
    Thanks
    Sylvain

    Hello,
    Don't be sorry you were very helpful.
    I think I have finally found a solution to make it work:
    - Create the DNSVOL on NSS shared pool
    - Set the Novell DNS on every nodes on the cluster ( do not create DNS servers )
    - Create a LUM user "novellnamed" for example ( use default UID, primary group DNSDHCP-GROUP)
    - run the novell script ncs_sh with correct parameters
    - Make sure the LUM user has file trustee rights on /media/nss/DNSVOL/etc/opt/novell/named
    - Create a DNS server for the NCP virtual server of the NSS shared pool.
    - Then add the load and unload command in the cluster resource script, be careful to mention the novell volume name after the -V option and not the nss path: /opt/novell/named/bin/novell-named -u novellnamed -d 5 -V DNSVOL
    - If you have errors in the /var/opt/novell/log/named/named.run, check that the LUM user is owner with sufficient rights in :
    /var/opt/novell/run/named & /var/opt/novell/log/named.
    This worked fine for me, but the documentation is definitely very confusing.
    Thanks and very happy new year !

  • Imapd service "Leak  Memory"

    I already have Java Communications Suite 6 Working , but, I have a Leak Memory problems with imapd process.
    I have the server with 30 imapd process, 30 mshttpd process, and 30 pop process running to balance the load of the users.
    All work fine(the CPU is 100% idle, the RAM is 80% available=6GB) when I access via browser(Chrome,Firefox), too when I access it with the traditional clients IMAP (Outlook, ThunderBird,etc).
    The problem is that if one user want to copy(not just view) locally all your emails to your laptops/pc, the imapd process eat more than 3GB(instead of 80MB) of RAM and the system is getting slower.
    If the user cancel this process(copy via IMAP all your emails) the process dont freedom doesn't release the memory and the system getting slower.
    Actually my solution is:
    # kill -9 <PID_imapd>
    Some times when I kill the process the problem going to other imapd process, so in this case the solution is:
    /opt/sun/comms/messaging/sbin/stop-msg
    /opt/sun/comms/messaging/sbin/start-msg
    I think that this problem is a bug but I dont know what is the patch.
    May you help me? Any idea?
    My system is:
    A X2100 with one socket AMD Opteron 2600Mhz, 8GB RAM, 2 x disks 750GB in mirror with Solaris Volume Manager, Soalris 10 HW 10/08.

    The rest of the imapd process(29) in this moment just load 40-50MB(when those are free).
    If we kill the process 16673 the user connect to the next imapd process and the problem persist whit the same patology: eat memory and CPU, and slow the system.
    So, we think that is not normal and maybe we need patch the system to solve the problem.
    We will to test the 64Bit version in this moment and we will post the results.

  • Leak memory in xerces DomParser

    Hey,
    I have " leak memory " in my Java application (Stand alone).
    I suspect that this leak caused by xerces DomParser.
    i reached to this conculsion after using in Jprobe as a memory debuger.
    Does any one has a similar problem?
    Thank you.
    code:
    DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
    parser.parse(new InputSource(new FileInputStream(schemaFile)));

    Hey, which Version of Xerces do you use?

  • Why does Firefox 4 (4.0.1 specifically) leak memory?

    '''Answer:''' I figured it out.
    History lesson first. Ever since the 4.0.1 update, Firefox 4 has been crashing A LOT. It's gotten so bad that FF4.0.1 will eat memory with no end in sight and eventually Windows (Win 7 64-bit) forcefully close the program due to an out of memory error.
    I have 8 GB of RAM installed. And, it would crash once it exceeds 1.5 GB of RAM used by Firefox 4. I've seen Firefox 4 go up to 1.85 GB of RAM in Task Manager. This is with 20 tabs open.
    With the add-on Leak-Monitor, I've narrowed down the issue. Having only Leak-Monitor as the extension installed, all pop-ups point to how '''poorly Firefox 4 handles Javascript'''!
    MSNBC Leak Monitor issue:
    [http://www.octoberasian.com/tech/text/FF4-Leak-Monitor_MSNBC.txt Leak Monitor log from MSNBC.com]
    I've gotten more pop-ups from even support.mozilla.com because of the Javascript on this website.
    Firefox 4.0.1 is leaking memory from every Javascript on every website I load. It's leaking memory as we speak with only this page loaded (one tab).
    FIX IT! Firefox 4 is poorly handling Javascript, especially when multiple tabs are opened.

    octoberasian: I, too, am experiencing this phenomenon. I shut my system down, pulled the EIC cable, held down the power button - then replugged and rebooted. I closed down every unneeded application that I have set to auto-start. Finally, I opened a single Firefox 4.0.1 window and let it sit. It began with consuming 43 Mb of memory. By afternoon - about 5 hours later - it was up to 203 Mb. There is definitely something very wrong with this version. It does the same on all the machines we have, sans our server. We don't use the server for anything but being a server & it has some version of Firefox 3 on it anyway. No Java Scripts were running, nor were any Adobe ARM or any plugins. I noticed when plugins run - the memory leakage goes into overdrive. Hey, I'm just sayin'...

  • Skype 6.4 continues to leak memory at an astonishing rate? Hard crashes ALL my Macs

    Last version of Skype 6.3 leaked memory like a river full of rapids. And once it gobbled up 1.5gigs or so of memory, it HARD crashed my iMac requiring a hard reboot. It only takes about 30 minutes for skype to do this. My iMac (2012 Core i7 3.4ghz 32 gigs RAM) is at Mac OSX 10.7.5 and it is repeatable every time. I have to set timers to remind me to restart Skype every 30 minutes.
    We thought 6.4 would fix the issue but no luck doing exact same thing. My colleague is across the country on an iMac with 10.7.5 same issues. Repeatable on my Macbook Pro running 10.8. If he let's it run, he gets the black screen of death and have to hard restart. Just like me.
    This issue has been around for several weeks and is making skype unusuable for us and we rely on it heavily. Note we are PAYING customers. to Skype.
    This ONLY happens if we use the video feature. Submitted to Skype, wondering if anyone else having issue?

  • DS 5.1sp2 SLAPI plugins leak memory

    I am running DS 5.1sp2, on Solaris 9/SPARC, and have been encountering problems with the ns-slapd process leaking memory when using SLAPI plugins.
    We have written our own bind pre-operation plugin function which, when enabled, causes ns-slapd to leak memory at a pretty rapid rate. I have a simple test where I perform a simple ldapsearch in an endless loop. The ns-slapd process starts off with a VSS of ~617MB (we have a fair amount of cache enabled) ; after a few minutes of my test, the VSS grows by several MB. With the plugin disabled, I can run the same test for hours with no growth in the VSS of ns-slapd.
    I have also performed this test with my plugin disabled, and the "testbind" plugin function (the one provided in <server root></server>/plugins/slapd/slapi/examples/testbind.c) enabled. I see even more rapid memory leakage than with my plugin.
    Are there known issues with SLAPI memory management? Is there anything I can do other than restarting ns-slapd on a regular basis (in production, this memory leak causes VSS growth of several hundred MB in the course of a few days).

    I think if you want to modify the result before it is returned, your plugin needs to be invoked post-op as well. Your plugin can be both at the same time, just make sure your init function knows what to do when called a second time.
    Moreover, without looking at the stack trace, it is hard to make any progress. Do you still have the core file? Can you paste the pstack and pflags output ?
    # Run "file" on the core to see if its a 32 or 64 bit core
    # cd /path/to/ns-slapd
    # pstack <corefile>
    # pflags corefile
    Alternatively, see if you can reproduce the problem with a small plugin. Smaller the better. I'll give it a go.

  • GetOracleDecimal seems to leak memory?

    Hello, I am using the C# statement below to retrieve a decimal value from an OracleDataReader, adjust the precision, then assign it to a .NET decimal type:
    decimal volume = (decimal)OracleDecimal.SetPrecision(reader.GetOracleDecimal(5), 28);
    Over time, the service that hosts this method leaks memory. After some investigation, I found that "Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OpoDecCtx" types were collecting in the finalize queue. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I can't explicitly Dispose() an OracleDecimal...
    I'm using ODP.NET version 2.102.2.20.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. I am using .NET 2.0 SP2. I upgraded the ODP.NET client to 2.111.7.20 but am still seeing leakage of the OracleDecimal structs.
    Here's a snippet of output from WinDbg:
    Ready for finalization 32874 objects (0b4de540->0b4fe6e8)
    Statistics:
    MT Count TotalSize Class Name
    00fb8cec 32816 656320 Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OpoDecCtx
    With each pass of the service the Count and TotalSize grow in increments equal to the number of rows I'm querying...
    Just for laughs I changed the GetOracleDecimal statement to GetDecimal and the memory issue went away (because I'm no longer creating OracleDecimals). But I need to use the higher precision type to prevent overflows..
    Thanks again..

  • Does ReportDocument leak memory?

    <p class="ssiBODYCOPY">Using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument XI R2.<br /><br />w3wp.exe memory use raises while a report is generated (which is expected), yet it does not seem to be ever released after. If you keep generating same report again and again, IIS eventually runs out of memory.<br />A report does not call any external DLLs or COM objects.<br />Calling repDoc.Dispose() does not seem to help.<br /><br />Please help.<br /></p>

    Methods:
    Dispose()
    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers()
    GC.Collect()
    Details:
    I created a C# application that connects to BOXI.
    It does not specifically use the ReportDocument object, but was also encountering serious memory issues.
    I was also using the Dipose method to mark objects for garbage collection.
    .Net garbage collection happens automatically (at some time or another), but you can force it using GC.Collect(). I tried this, but was still leaking memory.
    Until I found GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers(), which causes the garbage collector to wait until all disposed objects have completely finished their destructors. I think this made the difference with BOXI objects, because they are nested.
    After I was using all three methods, I had no more memory issues. I realize this information may be out of date, but I posted it for future seekers.

  • Flash is killing Safari, which is leaking memory ...

    I just saw in Activity Monitor that the Flash plugin is using 147% of the CPU, with one Flash movie playing in one of 12 open Tabs
    And Safari seems to leak memory as well, after a day or two it easily can use up to 3GB(!) of RAM.
    I am now quitting Safari routinely every 2 to 3 hours to get the CPU usage down and free RAM for other stuff, but I don't think this method makes for a great user experience.

  • Simple JSP leaks memory?

    Simple HelloWorld.jsp leaks memory significantly. Tested with SoapUI setup with 40 clients driving load. At around invocation 100,000 the WLS server simply leaks enough memory to hit the upper heap size and dies. I'm running V10.3.2 (latest) in Production mode with the JRocket JVM. I also tried the same test with HelloWorld.HTML file and found no memory leaks, it runs HTML test fine up to 1,000,000 invocations with no memory or thread leaks.
    This test can not be any simpler.
    Also, performance goes down significantly as memory leaks! I go from 500tps down to 100tps just prior to running out of memory.
    The JSP file is extremely simple, here's the code:
    <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    <title>Hello World JSP</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <p>Hello World!</p>
    </body>
    </html>
    Why would such a simple JSP file cause the WebContainer to leak memory? I'm at a loss here.
    Edited by: user9200447 on Feb 26, 2010 10:47 AM

    It depends on the test being run. One possibility is it may be due to implicit session objects.
    Try using session=false otherwise session objects are created implicitly for this jsp. Dependng on sesson timeout, hits and java heap memory size you can run out of memory

  • How to avoid the case of leaks memory in Object Oriented Programming

    Hi, Everyone, I am writing a simple web-baed application for JSP and Servlet, I pass all data from JSP to Servlet, It is due to the number of row of record are variable, so I should write a Java Instance class to stored to specific data in a Java Object, and then stored those object in a arraylist In the Servlet class, and then pass the arraylist in to a session, to pass the session from the servlet to another JSP......
    But some thing I am worried about is that if the no of row of record user input is large, then the number of object stored in the arraylist will also large. I am worried it will serious leaks memoary in my server. Because my server always occurs "Out Of Memoary Exception" in Tomcat, So If I use the above method. I affarid the memory will be further leaking in my server. So What can I do? Is it having any better method to prevent memory leaking when using Object Oriented Programming(Except using Hibernate)?
    Can Anyone be help me?
    Thank you very much for All, THX

    Because many people say that the large amount of
    using Object will lead to "memory leak", I am worried
    about the size of object I use is too large and then
    it will construct "memory leak". No it will not! You get a 'memory leak' by holding references to objects you no longer require.
    >
    The detail of my case is that:
    In my web application, there is a session variable
    pass through from one servlet to another jsp/servlet.You should only place small amounts of data in the session. If you need forward from a Servlet to a JSP (or JSP to Servlet) then you should place the data object in the request (using the setAttribute() method), not in the session. In this way, when the session is re-claimed so will be the data object.
    And this session variable is stored a Instance Object
    (which is a class write by me) with the following
    issue:
    1) This instance object having "has-a relationship"
    with another four instance object (all are the
    classes write by me)
    2) This instance object having "has relationship"
    with a arraylist, this arraylist is stored about 4-5
    instance object(all are the classes write by me) .
    If this object having the above issue, Will this
    object construct a "leaks memory" when this object
    stored in the session and pass through servlet to
    another jsp/servlet?

  • Novell update and registration servers

    bit of an odd one i've run into
    client has moved from an onsite proxy server to a cloud based one (zscaler). Due to the authentication mechanism now being browser based and not the traditional popup prompt type, we cannot use the proxy to get to the Novell update and registration servers
    Windows update and activation servers are added to an exception list to not require authentication at the proxy level so they will work
    So the question I have is, what are the addresses that I need to add to the zscaler proxy to make novell server activation and updates work properly, as I can't seem to find a list of server addresses anywhere on the Novell website, only a list for sles 9 which is not of much use now since we are using a mix of OES2 and OES11 servers
    Can someone help me out here or point me in the direction of where to look for the details about the servers, the only one I know of is nu.novell.com but i'm betting there is more than just that one

    I'd certainly start with nu.novell.com and see if that gets you going.
    And if that doesn't do it, some good WireSharking should help point out
    where it is trying to get to.
    Don't run away from a solution just because it looks too simple as there
    are enough of us trying to keep up the KISS principle that some really
    are that simple.
