Memory Leak?

Post by Frosty »

Hi all,

I installed the latest patch to VBR 7 last week. Overnight I got a strange error on my VBR server, Event ID 2019, and a job failed on another server which was trying to write data across the network to a share on my VBR server. I've started investigating the error and there are a lot of potential causes. Most however seem to refer to software/drivers with a memory leak problem:

The only changes on this VBR server for the past month have been the latest VBR 7 patches being installed. Windows patches are up-to-date as of about 1 month ago. This VM has been rock-solid for 2-3 years until last night.

Is anyone else observing any odd issues since installing VBR 7 and latest patches?

Hi, Stephen,

Have you had chance to open a ticket with our support team? If not, I encourage you to do so and let them take a look your environment, as some of the changes, apart from latest patch, might have slipped out of your attention (as this usually happens).

Thanks.

It is very easy to pinpoint the offending process process in case of a memory leak. Just fire up the Task Manager, and sort all processes by memory consumption.

Thanks guys, I'm going to "watch and wait" to see if the issue comes back. If it does I will gather some information on processes and memory usage and then open a ticket if it looks warranted.
