When I login to Mongo Shell in my production server, running Oracle Linux v7, I see the message:

WARNING: You are running on a NUMA machine.

To address this, I have used the init script as suggested here : https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/master/rpm/init.d-mongod.

I have restarted mongod as well as the machine, yet it looks like my mongod does not start with the --interleave=all setting and I see the same warning on start up. Any help?

  • thank you @jjussi. I have added an init.d/mongod file that has the NUMACTL args. I have restarted mongod and the vm instance multiple time to no effect.

  • And you cannot disable NUMA for that machine?

  • Nope. From where I am, BIOS is totally out of reach, if that's what you mean. I have full control on MongoDB though.

  • So your startup command is /usr/bin/numactl --interleave=all /usr/bin/mongod? You can test that directly at command line.

Your startup script doesn't actually use numactl command to start mongod.

Your startup command should be: 

/usr/bin/numactl --interleave=all /usr/bin/mongod

  • As original question maker wrote, his startup script didn't actually use numactl command to start mongod

  • and it was ignoring my init.d script since there was a service file
