Hello,

First:
Did you configure OMAPI ? (check pfdhcplistener.log for OMAPI word)
Also i recommend to create a tmpfs for dhcp lease (in fstab: tmpfs /usr/local/pf/var/dhcpd tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,size=200M 0 0)
What was the memory available on the system ?
Did you made a memory reservation on vmware for packetfence server ? (6Gb)
Did you installed the vmware tools ?

So when it happen:
-make sure that pfdhcplistener is running (this process update the iplog table). -check the io (iotop), if your disk is too slow then you will have issue to update the database. -check the graph in packetfence admin gui to determine where is the issue. (you can also have a look at http://@ip_pf:9000)

Regards
Fabrice

So,

I am run 5.4 in complete Inline mode.

CentOS 6.7 64bit

6 GB RAM with 6 Processors

Running on an EXi server

This afternoon, the server began a death spiral where the free RAM was getting to 500 MB free (yeah I know there is still a ton there) and the load was starting to creep from .8 to 7 and eventually at reboot time stuck at 20 + for 5 minutes straight. That is not the problem (right now).

I rebooted the server with the managed NIC disabled, know that once enable the load would jump to handle all of the “new” requests for access. After about 5 minutes, the load fell to the evening average of 2-3. So I decide to see how the network is running.

I fire up my phone, which is registered and I get the error: Your device in not in the Database, please reboot to solve this problem. Of course I don’t as I know better and renew the lease and everything else under the sun and eventually reboot all to no avail. After about 10 minutes and trying to calm residents down who are also getting this error, I get a connection and can register my phone.

What causes this error and is there a way to somewhat eliminate it?
