This is a known issue affecting VMware ESXi 6.0.
Currently, there is no resolution.
Workaround:
To work around this issue, increase the memory pool size for the process running out of memory.
- Stop the sfcbd service by running this command:
/etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog stop
- Update the memory allocation by running this command:
vsish -e set /sched/groups/<groupid>/memAllocationInMB minLimit=0 shares=1000 max=200
Note: Provide the groupid of sfcb_aux and sfcb in the command.
- Start the sfcbd service by running this command:
/etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog start
Note: This change is not persistent and the configuration will be back to default after host reboot.
