Thread-topic: Mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory

 Hey all,

 New to the list here. We are having some very serious issues with Xen. Our current environment has around 25 Dell 905's (4 quad cores and 128GM) as our Xen hosts/Dom0's. Under these we have maybe 60 guests running a variety of applications (Oracle, Ldap, DB2,etc).

 We've been seeing major stability problems. The latest one has us a bit concerned. We have an LDAP box that will stay running for 3-4 hours then spit this out in the qemu-dm-<guestname>.log

Xc_map_foreign_batch: mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory
Xc_map_foreign_batch: error 12

When this happens, the guest/domU goes offline. No ping, no access via console or vnc. The guest is configured for 16G ram and 2 vcpus.

Anyone else seeing problems like this? It consistantly happens with this domU, others less frequent. We've migrated the guests to various other hosts and it continues to happen. So we can rule out hardware. Either something in the xen kernel or the underlying OS (Suse 11).

Oh, we are running with xen-3.3.1

Thanks,

- Mike Smith
