Description of problem: The memory cert test on a system with 192GB of memory failed apparently due to the oom killer being invoked sometime during the test. The system had been installed with the default amount swap space which was less than the amount of memory in the system. I increased the swap space to greater than the amount of memory (in this case it was about 1.5 times as much). This resolved the oom killer problems and the test passed. I would suggest that the hts documentation include a note about having swap space greater than the amount of memory available. (Or better yet supply some formula for determining the minimum amount of swap required, since it may not always require that much swap space. For some systems it will be a challenge to get that much swap. The largest memory system we have currently is 2TB and they are not getting smaller.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hts-5.0-32 How reproducible: 1/1 Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run the memory cert on a system with more memory than the default swap 2. 3. Actual results: oom killer causes test to fail Expected results: test to pass Additional info:
