Problem with V6 and X86 in VMWARE

Fri Mar 18, 2016 6:40 pm

Hi guys,

i having a problem with v6.x in my X86 server.

I have a server running mikrotik virtual in VMWARE HP machine.

With v5.26 all works fine.
but with v5.26 the usage of cpu is very high. about 30%~40%.

But when I upgrade to v6.x (i tested v6.20 ~ v6.35rc33)

After about 1:30h running, all my pppoe clientes disconnect. Im running about 900 pppoe tunnels online.

the problem is solved when i reboot Router, but after 1:30h again all tunnels broke.

Anyone would help-me?

thanks

Also, if you're running in VMware, you could use the CHR instead of the x86 platform.  That would give you a 64-bit instance instead of a 32-bit ROS.

Anyone see any reason to use CHR over x86 in vmware? I realize there is the 32-bit/64-bit difference, but any other advantages?

If your use case requires a large amount of RAM, the x86 won't be able to handle it. Max RAM for the x86 ROS is only 2 GB. The CHR is 64-bit, and can address as much RAM as you could possibly need.
