The problem happened again, but this time the rpool was not yet full.
The pstack output shows again the same problem:

 feed68a5 _lwp_kill (5, 6, 22c4, fef45000, fef45000, c) + 15
 fee68a7b raise    (6) + 2b
 fee41cde abort    () + 10e
 08079939 fmd_panic (8081400)
 0807994b fmd_panic (8081400) + 12
 08065394 fmd_alloc (50, 1) + 81
 0806f6a5 fmd_event_create (1, d1da323a, 1bd4e8f, 0) + 18
 08073ae3 fmd_module_timeout (fb8ef100, 2a1, d1da323a) + 20
 0807bd21 fmd_timerq_exec (915db80) + 127
 0807b299 fmd_thread_start (8131030) + 5b
 feed1a3b _thrp_setup (fed82a40) + 88
 feed1bd0 _lwp_start (fed82a40, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

 

I can't believe this global zone is out of virtual memory, it's running various zones with a lot of processes and they all goes fine.

Only fmd here is going panic.
What I found is an old issue I even forgot about: an infolog_hival file is being produced continuously.
Running a tail -f on it I get a continuous output like:

port_address        w500304801d0a8808LH
PhyIdentifier88 %/pci@0,0/pci8086,2f02@1/pci15d9,808@0((
event_type      port_broadcast_sesTPclass       3resource.sysevent.EC_hba.ESC_sas_hba_port_broadcast  version  __ttl0(__todf▒'|▒,▒▒,^C

 

As I remember, this may go on for some time then it will stop.

Any idea?

Hi, I have a couple of systems, installed in 2012 and updated up to illumos 2019 (will have to update to 2024 later).

They periodically (every 3-4 months, sometimes earlier) create a core dump under /var/fm/fmd.

Looks like fmd core dumped, so no email notice is sent, and we end up filling the rpool.

I found  this link: https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Sun%20Microsystems/1020519_1.html

So here I attach the pstack of one of the dumps.

 

Any idea?

 

fmd_alloc() does panic when we are out of memory:

 

        if (data == NULL)

                fmd_panic("insufficient memory (%u bytes needed)\n", size);

You can try adding some more swap space perhaps?

 

rgds,
