Hi,

We have a cloudlinux system running plesk installed as a VM on proxmox, running inside KVM.
Now, we got this kernel error recently (see below) and we wonder what could be the cause of this?

The VM is configured with a 2 sockets 6 cores CPU, the host has 2x L5460 CPU's.
16GB of ram allocated.
CPU type = host
numa enabled

The error received after running for only 3 hours:

Hi,

this look like a memory problem.
Check your memory but I think it is a Cloud Linux kernel problem.
 
We using CloudLinux and Plesk too, and do not have such problems. Did you tried to update all your software? What PVE version you running?
 
Turned out to be an apache process taking lots of memory in a matter of seconds. After fixing that issue this kernel message never appeared again.
