SUSE Linux ShutdownManager issue
在管理华为HP DL580服务器的最近几天，系统经常莫名其妙的挂掉，我查看系统日志，曾经出现过OOM -Killer，系统是47个CPU和32G内存，8G的交换页，按理说这么样的配置不会出问题，但是华为OMStar预处理工具处理5G的UMTS MR数据的时候还是将内存耗尽了，日志中出现Free swap = 0kB 。这个问题这两天还没解决，等解决了再分享下经验。我估计OMStar预处理的时候有缺陷，内存有没有释放的地方，因为MPPF sleep进程竟然占据这几乎20G的内存。另外也有可能和下面的配置有关：
/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory
该文件指定了内核针对内存分配的策略，其值可以是0、1、2。
0， 表示内核将检查是否有足够的可用内存供应用进程使用；如果有足够的可用内存，内存申请允许；否则，内存申请失败，并把错误返回给应用进程。
1， 表示内核允许分配所有的物理内存，而不管当前的内存状态如何。
2， 表示内核允许分配超过所有物理内存和交换空间总和的内存（参照overcommit_ratio）。
缺省设置：0
前面说了那么多一大堆废话，今天要说的是另外一个问题，在我查看日志的时候，有几次莫名其妙的看到有一下信息：
zmd: ShutdownManager (WARN): Preparing to sleep…
zmd: ShutdownManager (WARN): Going to sleep, waking up at XXXX
看字面意思像是电源管理的问题，系统莫名其妙的sleep了。在网上搜索了下，有很多人出现过这中现象，还有人每天都出现：
This is my extraction from /etc/log/warn

Jan 5 23:00:44 suse64x2 zmd: ShutdownManager (WARN): Going to sleep, waking up at 01/06/2007 21:50:44

Jan 10 23:50:06 suse64x2 zmd: ShutdownManager (WARN): Preparing to sleep…
貌似他是按下面的方法解决的：There is a zmd.conf file which looks like this: （也就是说有个如下所示的zmd.conf文件）
suse64x2:/var/log # cat /etc/zmd/zmd.conf
[Advanced]
run-transaction-test=False
security-level=signature
[Server]
bind-ip=127.0.0.1
refresh-interval=86400
remote-enabled=false
require-verified-certs=True
[Debug]
log-soap-xml=False
log-exception-traces=False
The line to take notice of is the one with 86400 which is 60 X 60 X 24 or the numbers of seconds in a day. One would think that zmd would go to sleep, not the whole computer so I went to the YAST > system > services and disabled Novell zmd. I will see what happens in the next few days. What the final fix should be I have no idea. I don’t think Novell intended on locking the computer in hibernation but that seems to be what has happened.

注意看上文中的86400，86400=60*60*24，也就是一天的秒数，所以才会一天出现一次sleep，所以打开YAST > system > services 然后将Novell zmd设置成disable。
这家伙反正是这样搞定了，明天去公司，我也这样设置下吧，最起码日志中不应该再出现 zmd: ShutdownManager (WARN): Preparing to sleep…
zmd: ShutdownManager (WARN): Going to sleep, waking up at XXXX 这种issue了。
