    Virtuozzo is killing /usr/bin/mysqld_safe

    Hello,
    Virtuozzo 3.0 is killing VPS's /usr/bin/mysqld_safe process but leaving /usr/sbin/mysqld UP which is causing cPanel to be unable to automatically restart MySQL after that. Anybody have a clue how this problem can be solved ?



    Thanks,

    It cannot be VIrtuozzo, but the server administrator as a part of maintaining node stability. Make sure you are not overusing your resources

    Actually Virtuozzo does kill process when it runs out of memory. Thats the problem with Virtuozzo, you depend on the node total resources, and if its oversold then you dont get enough memory and process start to die.

    Try to get guaranteed minimum memory from your provider or see if your VM is not running out of RAM.

    Hello,
    Yes the problem is version 3.0 of Virtuozzo is killing randomly sometimes. Never had such a problem with version 4.0.

    Why don't you ask why your provider hasn't upgraded to 4.0 yet? 3.0 is terribly old.

    I am the admin of this. Yes 3.0 is old yes but why to kill MySQL safe like that? This is causing MySQL is not restarted anymore.

    Have you brought it up to Parallel's? I know you probably don't like their technical support, nor do many people that use Parallel's products but I think it will be beneficial in this kind of situation.

    It's the OOM manager that may be killing the processes and not the actual Mysql service. Check the logs on the hardware node:

    dmesg | grep VEID

    Your VPS may need some more guaranteed

    Hey, if you're still having the problem, here's some info from the Parallels Tech Support team:

    Check how many times the kill signal was sent by OOM killer for this container with cat /proc/slm/groups/Container_ID/stats (kill_sent parameter).

    Also, there will be a reason_inst_cap, meaning that the memory size requested by processes inside CT has been limited by SLMMEMORYLIMIT. For SLM enabled containers the following formula could be used for overall [ideal] memory allocation: RAM + SWAP = 1 Gb + Sum (SLMMEMORYLIMIT values of all CTs).

    If there isn't enough memory, the average memory allocation for CTs is calculated in this way: Effective (SLMMEMORYLIMIT) = SLMMEMORYLIMIT * (RAM + SWAP - 1Gb) / Sum (SLMMEMORYLIMIT values of all CTs). The sum of all SLMMEMORYLIMIT values can be calculated with grep SLMMEMORYLIMIT /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/*.conf

    Hello,
    It is not the memory cause I am running a script which is calculating every 5 min the free -m output of all VPSes. The max for one node having this problem is 7765M and the box have 16GB of ram. The swap is always zero as well. Even the container is hitting the limit how I may prevent MySQl to be killed but other processes to be killed like Apache ?



    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    Hi!

    First: can you, please, post the output of: cat /proc/user_beamcounters for the node that is having the problem? then, after the issue happen again, post it again (unless it shows no changes at all, in which case, just say: happened again: no changes to UBC).

    This can take us a little off-topic, but: 32 or 64 bits OS? This is more related to MySQL optimization.

    I hope we can get the problem fixed,

    I believe its the OOM manager which is killing the process, Give the following command and change the ve number to yours , then see the output how many lines its counts.

    cat /var/log/messages | grep OOM | grep ve=123 | wc -l

    Hey WebHostDog,

    Have you solved the problem? Or do you need some more help?

    Alright, this is what my tech contact told me. Sorry about the wall of text:

    It is really a memory related issue and it can be checked with grep exc /var/log/messages

    There should be something like: Sep 25 18:58:18 server1 kernel: kill_signal(123.0): selecting to kill, queued 0, seq 12, exc 4 0 goal 60 0... Sep 25 18:58:18 server1 kernel: kill_signal(123.0): selected 1, signalled 1, queued 1, seq 12, exc 60 0 red 32964 289 Sep 25 19:00:20 server1 kernel: kill_signal(123.0): selecting to kill, queued 0, seq 13, exc 40 0 goal 40 0... Sep 25 19:00:20 server1 kernel: kill_signal(123.0): selected 1, signalled 1, queued 1, seq 13, exc 40 0 red 32996 289 Sep 25 19:00:21 server1 kernel: kill_signal(123.0): selecting to kill, queued 0, seq 14, exc 19 0 goal 1429 0... The digits after 'exc' means how much total and low memory is not enough and in this case we see that total memory is the resource which server lacks of. Also there are should be records like: Sep 25 07:02:25 server1 kernel: OOM killed process httpd (pid=7051, ve=100) exited, free=450811 gen=190. Sep 25 11:51:18 server1 kernel: OOM killed process httpd (pid=4781, ve=100) exited, free=304447 gen=191. Sep 25 11:58:59 server1 kernel: OOM killed process httpd (pid=29207, ve=100) exited, free=296846 gen=192. And if it is really exists in /var/log/messages my previous recommendations will help.

    Hello,
    Yes if really a memory issue I would like it not to kill the mysqld_safe process which is causing MySQL to be unable to start again before killall -9 mysqld is issued. This is happening non stop on VZ3 and very rarely on VZ4 version. How may I add mysqld_safe into the default template to be killed after Apache and email services ?

  17. #17
    If the solutions I posted earlier didn't solve your problem, then I'm not sure how to solve it. I know that Virtuozzo 4.0 and higher have much better memory management, so upgrading would be the most straightforward solution.

    Did you check your system against the formula for the sum of SLMMEMORYLIMIT which I posted earlier?

    Hello Drew,
    There is no SWAP at all there is a lot of RAM. Seems we need to add mysqld_safe in this file somehow so it not get killed:


    /etc/vzslm.d/default.conf

    "init" 00000018 -1 9
    "httpd" 0000001c -1 2
    "httpsd" 0000001c -1 2
    "lighthttpd" 0000001c -1 2
    "mysqld" 0000001c -1 3
