      Hi all

      First time with a competition's setup...
      And a big step forward for me

      HGR-SAP-3 :
      2x480 SSD Sata Soft RAID1
      12x3.84To SSD SAS Hard RAID50
      96 CPU : 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 6248R - 24c/48t - 3 GHz/4 GHz
      768Go RAM

      PCI devices :
      4x MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5] (Mellanox Technologies ConnectX-5 EN network interface card for OCP2.0, Type 1, with host management, 25GbE dual-port SFP28, PCIe3.0 x8, no bracket Halogen free ; MCX542B-ACAN)
      RAID bus controller MegaRAID SAS-3 3324 [Intruder]

      VM in production :
      14 VM
      56 CPU
      339 Gib
      6.8 TiB (because of ZFS)
      100% Windows environement

      All VM are on my RAID50 ZFS disk
      (zpool create -o ashift=12 -m // zfs set dedup=on //zfs set atime=off /zfs set sync=disabled (I remove the name ))

      xcp-ng 8.3 all patch on and 16 GiB (beacause using nfs SR)

      Fist time for me with xcp-ng 8.3 and zfs I made a pool and one host in this pool bond network card

      I dont't have a good practice for saving my VM, I made replication

      If I don't do any save, xcp-ng is ok

      I have a 400 Gb Orphan VDIs

      When I made a replication of the VM this weekend the system freeze
      I'm connect whith the IPMI and have this message (translation of my screenshot) :

[***] A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2dlabel-root\x2dxrdbfu.device (1d 15h 49min 32s no limit)

      I don't see the CPU0: Unexpected LVT thermal interrupt! in all the xcp-ng log

      I have all the log whith me
      I power Off / On for reboot xcp-ng (8am)

      But whith all VM autostart "On" and an automatic task of "Garbage Collector for SR"
      I have a lot off trouble
      VM very slow and garbage task on a same time
      xcp-ng freeze and crash with or not reboot 4 time between 12 and 13h
      after second or third reboot I have time to disable the autostart of all VM and reboot VM one by one
      I disable the backup task and xcp-ng don't reboot since monday afternoon

      It's my second server by ovh the first one have other bug so I can change it but in fact I have the same problem of freeze and reboot

      I'm just sure of the result (freeze and or crash) but not why it the beginning
      The ultimate consequence was an out of memory of xcp-ng

      I have hundred Mo of log if you want something more
      Perhaps I'm wrong and it's a hardare incompatibility ? (network card, hard raid...)
      I have zabbix snmp probe

      Thank's

          Hi,

          You need to add more memory in your Dom0

            Thank's.

            Is it just a lack of memory for my Dom0 ?
            What memory size do you recommend ?

            This is my production environment, so I'll have to wait before I can do that.

              Because ZFS eats a lot of RAM, go with 32GiB in the Dom0.

                @olivierlambert "
                Tank's a lot

                I'll test it as soon as I can restart my host,
                I've read a lot of messages saying that putting too much memory in Dom0 is counterproductive.
                I'll keep you posted.

                  It is, if you don't use ZFS. ZFS is a memory hog.

                    Last night, I put 32GiB on the Dom0.

                    For information, since I restarted, it's consuming approximately 17 GiB.

                    I'll see if the increased load expected this weekend and the next won't cause it to crash.

                        Unfortunately, I'm really pessimistic about my technological choice.

                        Maybe I should never have installed ZFS on it, or perhaps I should have never enabled deduplication ?

                        I didn't have time to post this before, but Wednesday morning, after some major backups, I lost all my VMs for 3-5 minutes (lost, but no crash) due to overactivity on tapdisk.

                        Luckily I found them again after.

                        So I haven't lost anything except my sleep.

                        Here's an example of one of my 14 logs (14 VMs) (I've anonymized the UUIDs).

                        2025-09-24 08_45_26-Backup — Mozilla Firefox.png

                        Finally, when I say massive backups, my hypervisor is at 50% of its occupancy rate.

                        And this weekend, I'm thinking of skipping all the scheduled backup tasks to be on the safe side.

                        I don't know what to think anymore

                          Probably worth trying regular local ext SRs (in mdadm if needed) and see how it behave. KISS principle is very strong in general.

                            Unfortunatly this is also my conclusion.

                            This is what I used to do with smaller servers.
                            This is the first time with such a "huge server" + hardware RAID + ZFS with dedup.

                            Thanks
                            Have a nice day

                              It will be a lot better with future SMAPIv3 drivers (it might include ZFS if we want to officially support it)

                                Do you think the problem could be due to ZFS deduplication ?

                                I just saw that it's possible to disable deduplication "without restarting" .
                                I think my problem is due to excessive disk writes (adding then deleting a snapshot, then coalescing?)
                                Without deduplication, less disk usage ?

                                Or am I wrong ?

                                  In general, at least the consensus, is to NOT use deduplication with ZFS. It's probably one cause of the issue, yes. It's not worth the RAM needed.

                                    Yes, I should probably create a new post ?

                                            I'll wait until next week to disable deduplication (never on Friday 😉 )
