We are running ESX 3.0.1 on an HP BL460 4way Intel dual core server with 16gb memory.
There are 14 guest servers on the host with a mix of RH Linux and Windows.
The Memory and CPU Stats for the ESX Server show the CPU avg about 25% and the mem avg util at 52% and the max at 60%.
However, we have server of the RH Linux servers begins stopping processes. Processes stopped appear to be random on the guest server.
Here is an example of the error messages:

messages.1:Jul 4 23:19:49 rstapp1 kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 7091 (ExecuteThread: )
The servers have plenty of memory with 1gb and 4gb per server.
Does anyone know the solution to this problem. Help!
