: TS5800 memory utilization issues
: pcondosta May 13, 2017, 10:26:26 AM

This may be because I am moving a massive amount of data during the initial setup, moving an 8TB storage array.  I have noticed the memory utilization is constantly creeping up.  It starts around 19% right after booting and now maybe 12 hours later it has hit 37%.  Before rebooting yesterday it got up to 92% and starting chugging along when nothing was being transferred.

It is on firmware 3.44 and has eight 3TB drives setup in a 19TB array.  ISCSI is enabled and connected to a VMWare ESXi host.  No other services are turned on.

Is there anyway to get into a console so I can see what is chewing up all the memory?

Thanks, Pete

If it is hosting a VM and you are doing file intensive work on the VM, that will run the memory up very quickly.

What firmware version are you running?

It isn't hosting the VM itself, just a large amount of data files.  It is on 3.44 firmware currently.

I was writing files at around 65MBps all week then this morning it won't go above 20MBps, even with memory utilization at only 20%.  A reboot used to fix that but not anymore.
