vCenter Alert- "JetStream DR: DRVA high memory usage duration exceeded" (Internal)

\uD83E\uDD14 Problem

Alert notifications from the vCenter indicate excessive memory consumption by the DRVA. This alert is triggered when the memory usage of the DRVA in the JetStream Disaster Recovery solution exceeds the specified threshold of 90% for 15 minutes. This can impact the performance and reliability of the DR processes, potentially leading to delays or failures in disaster recovery operations.

💡 Cause

• Increased Workload: A sudden spike in the DRVA load.

• Resource Allocation: Insufficient memory allocated to the DRVA virtual machine.

• Configuration: Improper configuration or not following the recomendations while setting up Jetstream DR

\uD83C\uDF31 Solution

1. Review the alert details in vCenter to understand the context and duration of the high memory usage.

2. Verify the memory allocated to the DRVA virtual machine in its configuration settings. Ensure it meets the recommended specifications.

3. Use vCenter performance charts to monitor the memory usage of the DRVA over time. Identify any patterns or spikes in usage.

4. Assess the volume of data being processed by the DRVA. Determine if recent changes in workload could be contributing to increased memory usage.

5. The system will automatically hot-add memory to the DRVA if there is physical memory available to be added.
