The RHEV engine database may grow without limit or until the disk fills up or consumes CPU

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • RHV uses a Postgres database, named engine by default, to drive and monitor its activities.
  • In large deployments where lots of VMs frequently start and stop, the database table vm_dynamic may grow until it consumes all available disk space.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.x
  • Red Hat Virtualization 4.x
