Possible Cause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Excessive CPU usage can be caused by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Increased Workload:<\/strong> A sudden spike in the replication of data, recovery operations, or adding more domains\/VMs for protection can lead to higher CPU usage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Resource Allocation:<\/strong> Insufficient CPU resources have been allocated to the DRVA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Configuration<\/strong>: Improper configuration of the DRVA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Resolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Collect the MSA support bundle<\/a> before proceeding with the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Verify the DRVA is adequately configured.\n
- \n
- Ensure it is configured and meets the recommended specifications outlined in the Admin Guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Adjust CPU and memory allocation, if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Check processes running on the DRVA that may be consuming excessive CPU resources using the top <\/strong><\/kbd>command.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

- Use the Capacity Planning Tool (CPT)<\/a> and make necessary adjustments based on the collected statistics of protected VMs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Analyze the workload of protected VMs.\n
- \n
- If the workload has increased significantly, consider distributing the protected VM load over multiple protected domains\/DRVAs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Validate the vCenter stats of the DRVA VM related to CPU.\n
- \n
- Observe the timestamp of any spikes and correlate them to environmental changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

Example: CPU usage spike reported in vCenter.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n - \n
- Try rebooting the DRVA and observe any change in status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The system will automatically hot-add additional CPU to the DRVA if CPU resources are available to be added.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
