Hi,
I am running ESX 3.5 u3 (build 130756) on a test environment, both my ESX nodes use:
root 1659 0.6 25.0 158068 127916 ? S 2008 269:45 /usr/lib/vmware/hostd/vmware-hostd /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml -u
root 1654 0.7 26.8 168132 137004 ? S 2008 339:59 /usr/lib/vmware/hostd/vmware-hostd /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml -u
I am seeing the "Memory checker" warnings (since it is above 122880), but not the errors.
On another test environment (build 110181):
root 17925 0.6 15.3 148888 122780 ? S 2008 134:02 /usr/lib/vmware/hostd/vmware-hostd /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml -u
root 28728 0.8 12.7 129868 101868 ? S 2008 124:05 /usr/lib/vmware/hostd/vmware-hostd /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml -u
Here also the warnings, not the errors. Both environments are very different (one FC setup one parallel SCSI setup and one whitebox other supported SUN hardware), so I do not think it is a memory leak issue. But what is causing it??? Also not very nice, the warnings pretty much fill up the logs....
