Patch level detected:Dollar Universe 6.4.22
Product Version: Dollar.Universe 6.4.22

Description :We realized that the process uxioserv used a lot of cpu at certain time and that could only be fixed after stopping / starting the node.
The cpu usage was almost 100% even when we stopped all the engines except the IO.

Environment

OS: Linux

Cause

Cause type:
Configuration
Root Cause: The issue was due to the fact that the NTP and the VMTools had a different time reference server, with a difference of around 61 seconds which caused that the system time was constantly switching back and forth.

Resolution

The issue was fixed after stopping the vmtools which had an incorrect reference time.
The real solution is changing the ESX time so it is synchronized with the NTP reference server.

Fix Status: Released

Fix Version(s):
Component: Application.Server
Version: Dollar.Universe 6.4.22
