INITIAL_MEMORY, MAX_MEMORY

Both options allow configuration of memory usage for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and are found in /usr/openv/java/nbj.conf.

We recommend running the NetBackup-Java Console (jnbSA) or Backup, Archive and Restore client application (jbpSA) on a machine with 512 megabytes of physical memory with 128 megabytes of memory available to the application.

INITIAL_MEMORY specifies how much memory is allocated for the heap when the JVM starts. It is unlikely that this value will require changing as the default is sufficient for quickest initialization of jnbSA or jbpSA on a machine with the recommended amount of memory. It can also be specified on the jnbSA or jbpSA command. For example:


   jnbSA -ms 36M

Default = 36M (megabytes).

MAX_MEMORY specifies the maximum heap size the JVM uses for dynamically allocated objects and arrays. This is useful if the amount of data is large (for example, a large number of jobs in the Activity Monitor). It can also be specified on the jnbSA or jbpSA command. For example:


   jnbSA -mx 512M

Default = 512M (megabytes).
