Not overly exciting, but packed with good information for beginning the assault on Windows7. I have been a long time windows user, my main machine is a macbook, and I have several linux boxes kicking around also. This free PDF explains a lot of the Windows7 features, and im going to shoot it off to my Parents (who are using Vista) to give them a quick overview. For the less technical in our families, this may just be the book of basic answers they need.
So my vCenter was constantly alerting on memory usage, no matter how much memory I assigned to it. Looking in the process list “tomcat6″ was using as much available memory as I fed it …. a little searching of the interwebs & I came across the following, which resolved the issues.
Update: as per http://deinoscloud.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/tomcat-for-vcenter-memory-tuning/ a couple of Jvm memory parameters are pre-set for the vcenter tomcat6 instance.
Removing the fixed-allocation settings in the registry seems to have the desired affect of keeping the tomcat6 memory usage to a more “normal” amount
Locate the following registry key, for either x64 or x86 systems
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\vctomcat\Parameters\Java
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\vctomcat\Parameters\Java
And set each value to 0×0 and restart the vCenter Webservices service
JvmMs = 0×0
JvmMx = 0×0
JvmSs = 0×0
via VMware Communities: vServer – tomcat6 memory usage HIGH ….
