start weblogic 3.8Gb fial in RP3440

[nico_20]

Hi all,

I fail to set high heap size for weblogic in HP-UX.

The hardware platform:
HP RP3440 , 4 CPU with 8 GB RAM

OS patch:
Installed latest patchset from HP and JDK 1.4.06
Chatr enable +q3p and +q4p to the java

Weblogic:
Standalone instance 8.1 sp2

We can start the weblogic by this JVM setting
-server -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xmn800m -Xmx3000m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:SurvivorRatio=5

However, when we use this JVM setting.
We got this error when start the weblogic.

-server -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xmn800m -Xmx3072m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:SurvivorRatio=5

* console at http://[hostname]:[port]/console *

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for ParallelScavenge old gen heap



Our goal is using 3.8Gb JVM heap size. It is the max for 32bit.

any advice?

Nico,
Amit seems to have had the same problem:

Are you also loading shared libraries, that could blow your limit?
I assume you have reset your maxdsiz / maxdsiz_64bit to at least 4Gb?
