SIM 7.4 Memory leaking

SvilenSul — Wed, 12 Aug 2015 08:09:37 GMT

Hello,

We have HP SIM 7.4 with the latest hotfix (May 2015) installed on 2008 R2 x64 VM. We also have HP VCRM installed there. The problem: HP SIM eats all memory. We went from 4, to 8 and 12 GBs. I`ve never seen such a behaviour...Every day we have to restart the HP SIM service. When we stop the service the memory goes from 12 to 1.4....

I understand that HP struggles with software writing, so I would like to know if there is a fix or something. Because this is not acceptable behavior.

Hello,

lakshmana1 - it looks like the link is not working.

Andrew,

It`s the mxdomainmgr.exe that eats everything.

BR,

Svilen

The link is broken because it contains a trailing comma. It can be fixed by using Post Options > Edit Reply:

Hello, The post mentioned here is more about the VCRM/ HPSMH that's eating your memory. Is this case this the mxdomainmgr. This is the main SIM EXE file. So this would suggest it's not the same error. Could be a database problem, check your mxdomainmgr.log in the logs directory in the SIM installation directory. The other thing could be that you get a lot of events. Did you check the events under Shared > Events by Severity > All Events. You could also have a look in the traps folder under the SIM installation folder. There could be a lot of traps waiting to be proccesed.

Thanks Andrew. I checked the trap folder and it`s empy. The log file contains only few errors and warnings, but I guess only suppor can say if these are bad.

I`m aware that having too much data in terms of nodes, events, etc.. could cause issue, but we don`t have that many. About 300 nodes and I`ve setup events older than 2 weeks to be deleted.

After restart it behavious propely (taking only 1 or 2 GBs) until I decided to crete a colletion based on attributes. It eat the entire memory for just half a minute, but during that time SIM did not show the attributes I can filter on. Now when it took the whole memory and I want to create new collection based on attributes, I can immediatelly filter by attributes.

So I guess after I want to do something which involves dynamic information, I have to restart the service..
