Adjusting the default heap size for the OpsCenter server service
If the OpsCenter server processes consume a large amount of memory (which may happen with large OpsCenter configurations), it may be helpful to increase the heap size of the OpsCenter Server service.
See About adjusting the heap size or cache size for OpsCenter services.
Note:
The information that is published in this section is based on the tests that were performed in Veritas Lab in a controlled environment with expert users. These can only be used as guidelines and should not be used as 100% accurate benchmarks.
The default heap size of the OpsCenter Server service can be increased from 2048 MB to a higher value (like 4096 MB). You can determine a higher value based on the physical memory (RAM) and the virtual memory that is available on your system.
To adjust the default heap size on Windows
- Open the
OpsCenterServerService.xmlfile from the following location on the OpsCenter server:INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\binNote:
Save a copy of the
OpsCenterServerService.xmlfile before modifying it. - Modify the -Xmx value in the following string:
<CmdArg value="-Xrs -Xmx2048M
For example, replace -Xmx2048 with -Xmx4096 to increase the maximum heap size from 2048 MB to 4096 MB.
- Save the
OpsCenterServerService.xmlfile. - You must restart OpsCenter server services for the changes to be effective.
Enter the following commands to first stop and then start all OpsCenter server services as follows:
INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\bin\opsadmin.bat stop
INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\bin\opsadmin.bat start
To adjust the default heap size on UNIX
- Open the
startserverfile from the following location:INSTALL_PATH>/SYMCOpsCenterServer/binNote:
Save a copy of the
startserverfile before modifying it. - Modify the -Xmx2048M value in the following string:
MAX_HEAP=-Xmx2048M
For example, replace -Xmx2048M with -Xmx4096M to increase the maximum heap size from 2048 MB to 4096 MB.
- Save the
startserverfile. - You must restart all OpsCenter server processes for the changes to be effective.
Enter the following commands to first stop and then start all OpsCenter server processes as follows:
INSTALL_PATH/SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/opsadmin.sh stop
INSTALL_PATH/SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/opsadmin.sh start
