Server crash caused by "Potential VM growth in DirectoryService"

Our mail server experienced a crash yesterday. The system log reports "Potential VM growth in DirectoryService...". The Intel Xserve is fully patched to 10.5.5 and no updates are available. This is the first time we have experienced this problem.
From what I have read in past discussions, I thought Mac OSX Server 10.5.5 was supposed to correct this issue from occurring.
The specific error from the system log is:
Dec 9 15:53:17 mail DirectoryService[26]: Potential VM growth in DirectoryService since client PID: 0, has 850 open references when the warning limit is 500.
Here is the hardware overview from system_profiler:
Model Name: Xserve
Model Identifier: Xserve2,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
Memory: 6 GB
Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
Boot ROM Version: XS21.006C.B06
SMC Version: 1.26f3
LOM Revision: 1.1.0
Serial Number: G88100NFX8S
Here is the Software Overview from system_profiler:
System Version: Mac OS X Server 10.5.5 (9F33)
Kernel Version: Darwin 9.5.0
Boot Volume: Hermes Server HD
Boot Mode: Normal
Computer Name: xxxxxxxxx
User Name: xxxxxxxxx
Time since boot: 14:53

Currently it seems that the "only" problem is that there's too many users - even though the number is alarming low (eg 1-200). My thought is a faulty design of OS X Server (someone PLEASE correct me and prove me wrong!)

  • How do I monitor  Potential VM growth in DirectoryService ??

    greetings
    i have a 10.4.10 Mail server ( postfix/cyrus/squirellmail ) connected to a directory system.
    occasionally the system reports
    <code>Potential VM growth in DirectoryService since client PID: 0, has 1150 open references when the warning limit is 500.</code>
    if i don't kick start mail services ( serveradmin stop/start mail ) the open references will climb and cause the system to die.
    where is this number coming from and how can I put a tail on it ie " monitor the open references if it reaches *threshhold restart "
    I know this doesn't solve the issue. It has gotten better with load balancing and more replicas. I have plans to migrate this server to a new machine with clean install. But in the mean time I need to keep it up.
    any insight would be helpful.
    thanks

    Did you ever figure out how to fix this VM growth?

  • 10.5.5 Does Not Fix "Potential VM growth in DirectoryService" Error

    Bummer. It was mentioned in the docs that this bug was fixed in regards to Wiki's and Collaboration, but the errors below are a result of Tiger's Mail.app and a user with lots of folders. Mail.app makes connections for each folder to synch with the local mail store, and there is no way to mitigate the client behavior. I upgraded on Sept 17 @ 7:00AM, FYI. I guess I'll update my bug report...

  • 2008R2 server crash caused by srv2.sys, MS Netherlands SA support tells me to ..

    Last night 1 of our 2008r2 sp1 Enterprise crashed and auto rebooted. With the debugger tool I checked the minidump and at the bottom it states:
    Probably caused by : srv2.sys ( srv2+212e )
    This is the SMB driver. There is a KB that acknowledges that there is a bug in this driver and a hot fix is available. However.. the date of the driver in the hotfix is older than the date of the driver in use by the server. Get my point? Should I install
    the "older" hotfix or not.
    This is the KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2394911
    I contacted MS SA support in the Netherlands and the literally stated that the server is now up and running so there is no problem hence they can not support this. Ridiculous. I told him that we have a server running that we can't rely on. They did not care..
    I asked they guy to ask his manager and they just refuse to support me. Instead they sad I should contact a MS Partner because the question was about "implementation ".
    Can you imagine that I not impressed at all by this...

    Hello,
    So it is a BSOD.
    Please start by that:
    Update all possible drivers
    Uninstall all unused programs
    Run chkdsk /r /f and sfc /scannow
    Perform a clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Disable temporary all security softwares you have
    Run memtest86+ to check your RAM. If an error was detected then replace the faulty RAM or contact your manufacturer Technical Support for assistance
    Once done, check results. If this does not help then use Microsoft Skydrive to upload dump files. Once done, post a link here.
    You can also contact Microsoft CSS for assistance.

  • Potential VM growth Err,Cyrus, and Crashing Servers...

    On my Leopard Server (10.5.3), when an IMAP client makes lots of connections in a short period of time ( 35+ in one minute ), I will get the following errors in my system.log:
    Potential VM growth in DirectoryService since client PID: 0, has 550 open references when the warning limit is 500.
    If the DirectoryService and ServerManager processes are not restarted, this will spiral out of control, and Open Directory, then my server will crash. There is a little script that tails and grep's the system.log looking for these errors, and restarts both of these services (plugleak.pl):
    See
    http://davidleber.net/?p=216
    It does work and keeps my server from crashing due to this Open Directory bug (which has been around since Tiger).
    Why do clients try to make this many connections? One user had a PC with a weak intermittent wireless connection, and I guess his Outlook client kept making connections when the wireless connection fluctuated. This actually happened when the user was out of the office, but left his laptop running with Outlook open. For some reason, his laptop would switch over to the wireless connection while connected to our LAN, so we disabled his wireless (never takes the laptop home anyway), and this seemed to fix the problem. Unfortunately I did not put the plugleak.pl in a cronjob at this time, and my server eventually crashed, requiring a hard reboot (over a weekend).
    Yesterday, I was migrating a user from our POP server, and uploading her local PC mail folders when this happened again, twice. She has hundereds of folders, and when Apple Mail creates a new folder and uploads the files, it creates a new IMAP connection for each folder. The "Potential VM" error messages started popping up and plugleak.pl did it' s job, saving the day.
    Is there any way to configure Cyrus to limit the number of connections a client can make? Is this something that would be good to do? I noticed the following in the /etc/cyrus.conf:
    LIMITS {
    imaplimit value=0
    I can't seem to find any documentation on what this value does. Does this limit the connections per user, or total connections? It seems that IMAP is very connection intensive.
    Regards,
    Flatrack
    Oops, should be in the Leopard Server Mail forum.

    Not sure what the Background Bug thing is, but it can't be good. Sunday morning I get a text message telling me that the IMAP server is not responsive (something I set up on a Linux box to let me know when this sort of thing occurs. Good thing I did, and it works great). So I SSH in, and 'shutdown now'.

    System restarts, but my Open Directory DB is weird. Two users are missing, and I cant see the mail accounts in Server Manager. At this point, I boot from a backup disk and rebuild my system disk from the backup with Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Two weeks later, I'm in the process of uploading a migrated users email in AppleMail. She has hundreds of folders, and the IMAP client (AppleMail) seems to make a connection for each folder it uploads. It looks like it's making 1-2 connections per second, this is only a small exerpt.

  • What causes - "potential VM growth...."  system.log error?

    I've been seeing the following error in my system.log
    DirectoryService[14]: Potential VM growth in DirectoryService since client PID: 2312, has 975 open references when the warning limit is 500.
    is there anyway to identify what is causing this.... is it a real problem?
    thanks!

    I found out how to identify the PID (process identifier) ..... this is all new to me
    Type "top -l 1" in Terminal and look for the PID #.
    -l (that is a lowercase L)
    I need to wait until it happens again to locate the PID, but I still don't know out the "potential VM growth" issue.
    thx

  • VM growth in DirectoryService Warning

    I'm seeing the following on my Mail Server.
    ===========================
    Apr 6 12:00:09 mailhost DirectoryService[41]: Potential VM growth in DirectoryService since client PID: 0, has 525 open references when the warning limit is 500.
    ===========================
    Does anyone know what is this warning and how to resolve it.
    Thanks

    Currently it seems that the "only" problem is that there's too many users - even though the number is alarming low (eg 1-200). My thought is a faulty design of OS X Server (someone PLEASE correct me and prove me wrong!)

    Hi,
    This 3rd time I followed this link. But nothing new, same error.
    Can you please tell me how to do follow, I cannt do the 1st step, how to change the local system to windows level account, vice-versa. It is shown mine as
    Server Configuration Manager(Local) 
    From here I folllowed the steps ---[I cannt insert link/image :-(]
    SQL 2008/R2 setup fails with "Wait on the database engine recovery handle failed" 
    If I right clicked on SQL Server Service, there is no option to change the account. 
    Hello,
    Thanks for your patience,did you tried stesp mentioned in below article
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqljourney/archive/2012/03/16/sql-2008-r2-setup-fails-with-quot-wait-on-the-database-engine-recovery-handle-failed-quot.aspx
    To resolve it, follow these steps:-
    When the installation throws this error, click on OK and allow it to proceed. It will fail for Database Engine, but the SQL Server service should have
    been created. Check the Services console.
    If the service is present, perform the following steps:-
    1. Go to SQL Server Configuration manager, right click on the SQL Server service, and change the service account (if it is local system, give
    it a windows level account, and vice-versa). It might throw a WMI error but you will see the account getting updated anyway. If not, then use the Services console. Change the account for SQL Agent as well.
    Use this link to change sql server service account
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345578.aspx
    2. Next, try to start the service. It should come online.
    3. However, you will not be able to log in to the SQL Server
    4. Now stop the service and start it from the command prompt using -m -c -T3608 parameters.
    5. Now try logging in to the server using admin connection from sqlcmd (sqlcmd admin:<server name>\<instance name> ...)
    6. Once logged in, use the sp_addsrvrolemember '<domain\username>','sysadmin'.
    Also add the builtin/administrators to the sysadmin role
    7. Now stop the service from the command prompt and start it from SQL Server configuration manager
    You should be able to log in to the server now.
    Hope this helps someone.
    Please revert if it helps or even if it does not

  • Server crashed trying to find the cause

    I'm trying to find the cause of our server crashing. It creates a memory.dmp file. I used a tool to look at it and the below is the output. But I can't find the cause in here can anyone else read these?

    Hi Jason,
    Do you install Exchange 2013 on your server? If so, the issue could be due to an Exchange Service process terminated WININIT.EXE. You could refer to the article below to resolve the issue:
    Exchange Server 2013 restarts frequently after Cumulative Update 2 is installed

  • Policy Agent 2.1 causing Sun Web Server Crash?

    Running Sun web server 6.0 SP7 on Solaris. Policy Agent 2.1 installed on web server. Identity Server on different Solaris box. Seeing the following error in log file for Web Server:
    [10/Mar/2004:11:21:25] catastrophe (14462): Server crash detected (signal SIGSEGV)
    [10/Mar/2004:11:21:25] info (14462): Crash occurred in NSAPI SAF validate_session_policy
    [10/Mar/2004:11:21:25] info (14462): Crash occurred in function xmlFreeProp from module /opt/SUNWam/lib/libxml2.so.2
    [10/Mar/2004:11:21:25] failure (14461): Child process admin thread is shutting down
    [10/Mar/2004:11:21:26] info (15195): Installing a new configuration
    This happens sporadically. I've patched the web server to SP7 and made sure it's using a newer version of the JDK (1.4.2_03) - any ideas of what might be causing this? It's not always the same part of the code (ie, not the same function) where it blows up. Sometimes there is no error at all - it just takes the web server process to 50% CPU utilization until we kill it.
    Any thought would be most appreciated. I'm also posting this in the web server forum (posted here since it seems to be related to the policy agent)
    Thanks,
    Pat

    You were absolutely correct
    I've resolved this issue - the problem was caused by two things:
    1. There is a new version of a library called libxml2.so that I had to get from Sun (they provided version 2.6.7)
    2. My web server with the agent on it is on a seperate box from the identity server. These two servers were out of sync in terms of their system time (ie, the solaris box with the agent / web server was about 8 minutes ahead of the solaris box with the identity server)
    Once both of these things were fixed (the time issue most importantly), the web server would not hang anymore.

  • Unable to start EBS DB after the Server Crash. Error in installing the Required RPM.

    Hi , Hussein ( As most of the Time It is Only you here who comes to the rescue or give Usefull inputs. I am sorry if i mistaken, no Pan intended for Other Experts)
    I 've also posted this issue here but got no response. https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2590497

    The Packaged are already there on the server as the RHEL software DVD is copied on the server.
    Yes it was working before the crash, And Even after the Crash i.e
    after starting the server in Xwindows I was installing the rpms from RHEL6/Packages directory on the server even installed 10-12 rpms
      and was in the process of installing the sabayon rpm i 've inadvertantly issued or run  this command
      rpm -ivh *.rpm --force --nodeps  from RHEL software Packages directory.   
    and it ended up with Errors Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID fd431d51: BAD
       After that I could Not install any rpm from rpm or yum command.
       I 've  Downloaded the new sabyon*  and Other rpms from the net and tried to install them with rpm or yum command but
        got the same Errors Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID fd431d51: BAD 
       with yum am getting this error
       error: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID ec551f03: BAD.
      I 've Tried searching on google as well for at least 10 hours but did not get any help from it so far.
      The Reinstallation of OS is not AN Option for me rightnow.
       Could you tell something which i could try & may be that works.

  • InDesign server crashes every time when calling deleteEmptyPages in script

    We are evaluting InDesign Server CS6 on a Windows server environment. We have an idml file, sample xml file that is tagged to specific frames inside the idml file and a script file for execution on the server. This script opens the idml file using the app.open api, imports the xml file and export the ID file to a PDF. Because we have table content with variable row count, we are using the smart text reflow functionality. Setting the text preferences with smart text reflow appears to be working but we also want to delete the empty second page when the content is less than a page. So, we also tried using the deleteEmptyPages property document's textPreferences. When this is set to true and the script is executed on the ID server using the sampleclient, the server crashes with the following message. When I do the same thing in the InDesign UI using the preferences options, it works as expected.
    The script looks like below - is this the right way to do it?
    var myInddFile = app.scriptArgs.get("idfile"); //"X:/IDFiles/AutoFlow.indd";
    var myXmlFile = app.scriptArgs.get("xmlfile"); //"X:/IDFiles/deleteme.xml";
    var myOutputOptions = "[Smallest File Size]";
    var myPDFPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName(myOutputOptions);
    var myDoc = app.open (File(myInddFile), OpenOptions.OPEN_COPY);
    myDoc.xmlImportPreferences.ignoreWhitespace = true;
    myDoc.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;
    //myDoc.textPreferences.addPages = AddPageOptions.END_OF_STORY;
    //myDoc.textPreferences.limitToMasterTextFrames = true;
    myDoc.importXML (File(myXmlFile));
    //uncommenting this line causes the ID server to crash
    //myDoc.textPreferences.deleteEmptyPages = true;
    var myOutputFile = app.scriptArgs.get("outputfile");//File("X:/IDFiles/sampleX.pdf")
    myDoc.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,myOutputFile, myPDFPreset)

    Thanks Harbs. We are looking at full automation and so removing the pages manually is not an option. But I did find a script at InTools http://in-tools.com/article/scripts-blog/script-of-the-day-jan-24-2010/ that helps with automating the removal of empty pages. This script appears to be a nice workaround for server side usage. I used it on my document with multiple column text frames and it is removing the empty page as expected. If there is a better way to do this, let me know. Thanks.

  • Server crashes after router restarts, different routers, same result!

    Hello team,
    I've had this problem before, and it's getting really annoying.
    Every time I restart my router, my server will crash. It's almost always the case. I don't know why. It's not my router, I have tried 3 different routers. I thought maybe my RAM was faulty, that's not the case either. 
    Any thoughts?
    p.s. 
    my server always assigns its own DNS address to my clients, so when the server crashes, the clients are left without internet. How can I stop this from happening?
    setup: Server 2012 Essentials R2, 2 GB RAM, AMD X2 3800+ CPU.
    edit: this is the dump file it generates. I just restarted my router again, and exact same scenario:

  • Server crashes when doing DBCopy

    We are trying to upgrade to GW2012. We have a new DL360G8 server running SUSE Release 11, kernal 3.0.93-0.5. All HP diagnostics on the computer and raid pass.
    When we do dbcopy to move databases from our existing GW8 system, the server crashes saying there was a raid controller issue. No more details than that.
    We've tried this on 2 new servers - same issue. Only crashes when using DBcopy - not when we copy large files using other methods.
    HP and Novell have not been able to come up with any solutions.
    Anyone have any ideas on this?

    GUI is not needed. You need X and x/gdm installed because of some dependencies in the agents allowing them to expose a GUI if requested, so they need those bindings. But having gdm or X running is not needed at all once the system is installed.
    And again, we saw a very similar issue. Either the scsi driver crashes - which disconnects you SWAP and the OS just seizes up - OR - it would cause so much I/O that the OS could not swap quick enough and you would never be able to operate the GUI to get in. We also saw an issue with the graphics adapters on these servers as well, with the GUI running we would see this behavior, without it, everything was fine.
    On one initially problematic box, we have had, literally, no unplanned downtime for 3 years once we ditched the GUI.
    Also, you can try to limit the number of threads dbcopy is using the -t parameter, e.g.
    /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/dbcopy -m -p -f -t 3 /source_path /destination_path
    And I just thought of this, since you mention a server to server copy, If the source / destination is a CIFS or NCP mounted share, you can also run into another issue: oplocks. Disable oplocks on both ends, and on the linux box, if using CIFS:
    echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled

    We are facing a problem when try to access a VC Report. In the most cases, when I define filters in the Form filter zone of my report and push the event button (submit), the query hangs and the server crashes whit "Out of Memory" error.
    Do you know why this happen?.
    As a remark, the report only selects over one table (custom bpm reporting data source whit 7 fields) and there's not complex joins. We are running in NW CE 7.3 SP3 and all my VC components corresponds to this version correctly.
    Best Regards

    Hi Julio,
    This problem is caused by a combination of:
    1. Huge amount of BPM data.
    2. Too little system resources.
    3. issues in the underlying layers that Visual Composer uses.
    Please open a message on BC-BMT-BPM-ANA for this problem. I know they fixed it, but I don't know in which version.
    regards,
    Natty
