The memory usage for nsyncd increases over time, forcing the device into OOM (out of memory).
OOM activity causes random process restarts and disruption.
-- High availability (HA) environment with ASM sync failover device group. -- ASU files are being installed by Live Update.
Restart the nsyncd daemon.
Added a new parameter 'maxMemory' to the nsyncd configuration file: /usr/share/nsyncd/config/config.properties # 450 MB maxMemory=450000000 Nsyncd daemon will limit its memory usage to the configured value, and restart if the value is exceeded.
