Problem with Java Memory "Could not reserve enough space for object heap"
FacundoApr 30 2012 — edited May 1 2012Hi gurus,
I am not an expert with Java´s configuration, and I have a situation that I don´t understand. First of all, I am working at Centos 6.2 with jdk_1.6 and Tomcat 7.
The problem is...
- If I run Tomcat with JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx128m"* (at catalina.sh) all works fine.
- If I run Tomcat with JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx512m"* (at catalina.sh) an error appears:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
This appear when I run java -version or when I try to stop Tomcat, and the Tomcat isn´t able to stop.
The strange thing is that my server has more than 200M free in physical memory. So, why Tomcat isn´t able to stop? and Why Java doesn´t use the free memory in my server?
Thanks in advanced.
