Hi, folks

 

I have deployed StarlingX 2.0 witch 2 controller nodes and 12 compute nodes, and I also installed stx-openstack application. I have some questions while deploying virtual servers with openstack.

 

Here is the virtual servers that I have deployed, actually, it’s just part of what I wanted to deploy, because some compute nodes entered degreaded state after deploying these virtual servers.

From the fm alarm log, I can found it was because the host memory had exceeded threshold.

And my question is, who exhausted the memory, from the openstack and system command, there is a lot of available memory which can be allocated.

If I keep on deploying more virtual servers, the compute node will go offline state, and go to booting state. And such compute node may corrupt and sometimes I have to reinstall the stx-openstack application to make the compute node come back.
