Hi,
interesting ... I change priority as you suggest and will keep you in
touch
if the problem happens again because I cant reproduce it. Replay on your
next email, I don't have any
virtual servers / guest os on the server. It's server with only one
process - redis server
and in this time when error it's happened actually one of other servers
start loading data
into redis sever. Data is small 3-4 mil. keys every key contain around
150 symbols.
I have that problem on two servers, next server is database server with
postgresql
and that problem happened more often, usual once per day or for few
days.
I never play before with changing priority of processes. When I check
iLO log I saw logged error: power lost but server does not lost the
power actually,
it's just stop respond for 2-3 minutes and then continue normal
operation with
uptime more then 100 days.

Thanks for your suggestion.
Regards,
Mitko
