The RAM usage on the Controller VM or Prism Central VM has been high | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

The RAM usage on the Controller VM or Prism Central VM has been high, I have tried deleting all the old logs from the affected CVM’s Logs folder, and freed up space upto 6 GB. But still getting this the crritical alert every few hours.

Run the command `(allssh free -mh)` on one of the CVMs and check whether it affects only one CVM or all the CVMs across the cluster.

How many nodes does the cluster have? It is recommended to assign 32 GB of memory to each CVM.

I also faced a similar issue with the version:

* The cluster is running:

+ AOS 6.1

+ AHV 20201105.30142

+ NCC 4.5.0.2

I performed the rolling restart (https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000kALCCA2). to fix these , restart was suggested by support engineer after reviewing the logs 

to the issue for forever i had upgraded the AOS version 

 I would suggest to consult support to review the logs and find root cause 
 

Dear nishan, 

Thanks for your reply,

There are 8 nodes 

32 GB is assigned to each CVM.

Unfortunately I do have have support contract.

Hence I will reboot the affected host and let you know.

 

I did a reboot for the affected host and the alert dissapeared will observe till tomorrow and let you know.

So far there has been no issue...no alerts generated.
