Just to rule out the obvious culprits: - The Mac hardware is in good general health?
- There is plenty of free memory? The system is not swapping? - There isn't some process running and taking a lot of cpu? Spotlight indexing, Time Machine backup, some anti-virus real-time scanner? Even though Macs are great machines, even they can get messed up and become slow. -- Sami Chuck Doucette <cdouce...@everyscape.com> kirjoitti 24.8.2012 kello 20.19: > We are running Jenkins 1.478. > The master node is running on Windows 2003 (xp). > It has 3 slaves - 2 other Windos machines and 1 Mac. > The mac machine was working fine - then when I attempted to upgrade the O/S > (from Snow Leopard to Lion) it failed due to disk errors. > I've since reconstituted the machine from scratch - so all of the hardware is > the same but all of the software (and configurations) are brand new (Mountain > Lion). > > Something appears to be causing one of our slave nodes (on Mac OSX) to take > longer and longer to respond. > It's currently at ~1000ms response time. > It has gotten up to 3000ms response time. > > I have added two things to slave's launch JVM options to help in diagnosing > and resolving the problem: > 1) -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote (so I can monitor the performance of the > slave process via jconsole) > 2) -Xmx2048m (to use 2GB of the 3GB of physical memory available on the > machine) > > The timeouts have apparently caused jobs to fail with errors about channel > closing: > Started by upstream project "ScapeFolio" build number 83 > > [EnvInject] - Loading node environment variables. > [EnvInject] - [ERROR] - SEVERE ERROR occurs: > hudson.remoting.RequestAbortedException: java.io.IOException: Unexpected > termination of the channel > Archiving artifacts > ERROR: Publisher hudson.tasks.Mailer aborted due to exception > > hudson.remoting.ChannelClosedException > : channel is already closed > at > hudson.remoting.Channel.send(Channel.java:492) > Started by upstream project "ScapeFolio" build number 83 > > [EnvInject] - Loading node environment variables. > [EnvInject] - [ERROR] - SEVERE ERROR occurs: > hudson.remoting.RequestAbortedException: java.io.IOException: Unexpected > termination of the channel > Archiving artifacts > ERROR: Publisher hudson.tasks.Mailer aborted due to exception > > hudson.remoting.ChannelClosedException > : channel is already closed > at > hudson.remoting.Channel.send(Channel.java:492) > > Does anyone have any recommendations on how to diagnose and resolve these > problems? > > Thanks, > Chuck > >
