NSX for vSphere
On older versions of NSX-v, a memory leak was present in VMware Tools running on the ESG / DLR Appliances which could cause the appliance to restart.
This issue is resolved in NSX-V 6.4.6 and later.
An upgrade is advised if this issue is encountered.
Workaround:
As a workaround, the VMware Tools process can be pro-actively restarted to clear memory usage.
Procedure:
1) Access root shell of the appliance
2) Invoke the following two commands:
# echo '0 0 1 * * /etc/rc.d/init.d/vm-vmtoolsd stop' >> /etc/fcrontab
#/usr/local/bin/fcrontab /etc/fcrontab
