IPA unresponsive and high cpu usage of the ns-slapd process

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • One of our IPA replica's is behaving oddly. 389ds is suspected.
  • The replica is serving at most 60 systems
  • ipactl commands take very long time
  • ipactl restart sometimes fails
  • high cpu usage by ns-slapd process
  • high io utilisation (queue > 1) on the disk containing both the logging and the database files
  • clients using this IPA server get odd results (does not know users anymore)
  • kerberos not responsive (kinit takes a long time)
  • kerberos however is responsive when SSS is configured to use a different replica but /etc/krb5.conf is using the 'odd' one
  • DNS is working properly but probably using cache

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.1
  • 389-ds-base-1.3.3.1-20.el7_1.x86_64
