EXAOne automatically resets DBRAM configuration

Details

Detail name Value
Changelog Number 9218
Type Bug
Status Open
Affected Versions EXASOL 6.0.0, Exasol 6.1.0, Exasol 6.2.0

Background

The EXAOne VM image automatically calculates how much DBRAM should be used for the database to ensure a good resource utilization. This calculation happens e.g. when the image is started or EXAoperation restarts.

Bug

This calculation ignores the amount of memory that must be reserved for the operating system. This oversight can lead to crashes of the database.

Workaround

If pre-configured EXAone database is renamed, it is excluded from the auto-configuration. However, this will have two side-effects:

  1. The database will not be started automatically when the image is started and must be started manually via EXAoperation.
  2. The automatic version/update check included in the EXAOne image will be disabled.
