We had an issue where the database for VC was offline for about 6 hours. When it was recovered all hosts were reporting correctly through the console so all looked to be OK.
An issue raised its head though when tasks were attempted to execute against some of the hosts. Most the hosts accepted the tasks as expected with the exception of one. The tasks executed against this host were failing with a general error with the unable to communicate with guest response. On connecting to the host all looked well althogh quiet. After giving the management services a restart request the action took about over 5 minutes to complete (normally only about 15 seconds).
The logs for the time period shows at the restart request that an out of memory exception occured and the process killed. We are currently running 2.01 path 2 and looking towards 3.02 as an action.
Two questions that comes of this are:
\- Does the management agent have a possible leak that can be amplified by repeated attempts to connect to a VC that is offline
\- How do you monitor against this issue as the host and VC reported as OK and the issue only raised its head when running tasks (inventory sync was OK)
Anyone else had this joy?
Cheers
