Issue/Introduction
Error Message : No error appeared at all on the logs, but when launching uxiotrclck during the issue, we observed that this kind of message appeared all the time many times on the generated IO_DATE.dump.log
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.
