I already know that the application will use that much space. We are using the Agressive Heap setting with an -Xmx switch so it will automatically use all the space that I'm allowing it. I should perhaps post some of the error's i'm receiving which vary depending on what size I set. I'll do this when I'm in the office tomorrow.
There may be other kernel parameters that i've not considered or maybe it just doesnt work. Thanks for the input.

The JVM will grow as much as it needs subject to your -Xms/-Xmx and other settings, as I'm sure you know already. So could it be it's not growing past 3300MB because it doesn't need to? Stress it out with a bigger load, or maybe try -Xms4G just for testing, to see what happens ;) Yoav Shapira http://www.yoavshapira.com -----Original Message----- From: Dale, Matt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 1:02 PM To: Tomcat Users List (E-mail) Subject: OT (Slightly): Large 64 bit JVMs Hi, Does anyone have any experience of running large 64 bit JVMs on Solaris. We've got a box with 16GB of RAM and despite increasing the kernel parameter shmmax I can't get a JVM to be any bigger than about 3300MB. Any hints or tips or links appreciated.
