Fog server keeps going down

@szecca1 I don’t think @george1421 means a “conflict” in the terms of IP Addressing, but rather in logic.

Tom is right on, I was focusing on the logic of what you were saying which lead me to the duplicate IP address conclusion. Maybe I need to choose my words a bit better too.

While I don’t offer to do this very often, but since we have a similar virtualization environment, I can create a VM with FOG running on Centos 6.7. Assuming your boss will allow, I can export the vm and you can upload it to your ESXi platform. The only issue I have is if can I make the VM small enough to get it to you vi my dropbox.

@george1421 Google drive…

@Tom-Elliott I agree this doesn’t make any sense. I wish I was making this up but in the end, I have no access to the server during the time that it is down until I tell vSphere to just reboot the VM. The console on vSphere is not able to commuincate and basically has the same result as when I try to use putty to remote in.
I can already tell you that my boss will not allow that, although I really do appreciate the offer. In a school district that would be too high of a security risk, unfortunately. Thank you though!

@szecca1 Is the OS installed with a GUI?

@Tom-Elliott No Fedora server doesnt have a GUI

@szecca1 then the only thing I can think of is the console is blanked out, not necessarily unusable. Do you have a keyboard that you can press the space or a key to see if anything returns a display?

[szecca1]

@Wayne-Workman Do you want me to do this?

[szecca1]

@Tom-Elliott Yes we tried entering something and nothing is returned at all

[szecca1]

@szecca1 I just walked in today and the server is not reachable. I figured before I reboot it I would see if you guys want me to do anything. I can ping the server and it responds but trying to putty into the server it just hangs and never connects.

[Wayne Workman]

@szecca1 Can you get to it through the hypervisor?

[szecca1]

@Wayne-Workman I apologize I was trying to get a hold of my boss to log onto vSphere. When I go to the console, it asks for localhost login and then gives an error:

(38484.938838) Out of memory: kill process 2739 (httpd) score 104 or sacrifice child
(38484.942704) killed process 2739 (httpd) total -vm:1247792kb, anon-rss: 412668kb, file-rss:0KB

@Wayne-Workman I am holding off on rebooting for a little bit just so you guys can see that error message

[Wayne Workman]

@szecca1 It displays that error AT the login screen, or after?

[Wayne Workman]

@szecca1 Check the amount of free RAM.

free -m

What does top say for memory usage in httpd?

[szecca1]

@Wayne-Workman as soon as the localhost login screen comes up, I click and that error message comes up.

1247792KB + 412668KB = 1660460KB = 1660.46MB = 1.24GB

How much RAM does the server have?

[szecca1]

@Wayne-Workman I can’t type anything in as the screen wont allow me to even log into the machine until I reboot it

[szecca1]

@Wayne-Workman We set up the server with 4096 MB

[szecca1]

@Wayne-Workman But it says the memory overhead is 88MB but not sure what that means
