That's true, the adress space for each Win32 process is limited to 2GB (same on Linux? I would assume yes for the same processor architecture, but i do not know it). Another hint: If your applications are compatible with jdk 1.3, try out the IBM jdk. For me it works more stable and performant than the Sun jdks in a server environment both on Windows and Linux. For example the GC does not stop the whole JVM from time to time as with the Sun jdk.

I seem to recall that for Windows 32 bit applications the maximum address space of an application is 2GB. I would try reducing the second parameter to below 2GB and see what happens. I'm sure Sun has some boxes that could do this... -----Original Message----- From: Marinko, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 August, 2002 3:28 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Checking Tomcat's Memory Ah, there it is! So I would add additional "JVM Option Number X" with the -server, -Xms, -Xmx parameters and change "JVM Option Count" to account for this. I've managed to change the VM heap size through editing the catalina.bat script, however I get the following: Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap when I try to set my parameters at -Xms1024m -Xmx3072m (currently running at 128m and 1024m). Are there any VMs out there that can handle this kind of memory (1+ gigs to start)?
