Oracle VM: Memory Shortage Caused By "lldpad" Service Triggers Out Of Memory (OOM) Killer
(Doc ID 2393770.1)
Last updated on JUNE 26, 2023
Applies to:
Oracle VM - Version 3.4.1 and later x86 64 bit
Symptoms
The server shuts down or restarts in an uncontrolled manner. Sometimes the crash dump shows the lldpad process as being terminated but other processes could be killed as well. This condition manifests itself like this:
In this example,the server has 4G memory and 4G paging store. Notice that all of swap has been filled. The lldpad process is shown with an OOM killer score of -1000 so the lldpad process has avoided the OOM killer; another process will be killed instead.
