SRCDS - 100% RAM MEMORY

[luedfe]

Hi all,

I have a host with ESXi installed and a Virtual Machine created for store my SRCDS (Counter Strike) server.

Follows the configuration of the physical server:

Processor: 02 x Intel Xeon E5645 2.40 GHz
Motherboard: Intel S5520HC 64 Bits
RAM: 32GB ECC

Follows the configuration of the virtual server:

Processor: 08 core´s
RAM: 12GB
SO: Centos 6.2 - 2.6.32-279.1.1.el6.x86_64


I started the SRCDS server and memory usage is low, everything OK. But, during the day, the use increases until reaching 100% and the server need to be rebooted to come back normally.
Even kill the process of SRCDS, the memory continues in 100%.

Does anybody know the reason of this? And solution for it?

Attached of this message the print of TOP.

Help me please!

Well first of all, how many servers are you hosting on the VM.

Please tell in slots.

Hi,

There are 72 lots.

Thanks.

Wow thats a lot of slots. First thing i would try. Run the server without any plugins. Plugins increase memory usage. You might have a plugin that has a memory leak which explains why your memory is being exhausted.
