Issue/Introduction

Our Dev team working on increasing the java heap memory for the SV Registry and Portal OpenShift containers. As per this DevTest Documentation we added -Xmx4144m in deployment config.yaml JAVA_OPTS for registry and portal containers.

But in the registry logs we are still seeing the default heap memory is used.

2020-10-30 10:51:05,085Z (10:51) [Event Sink Thread Pool Thread 4] INFO  com.itko.lisa.coordinator.TestRegistryImpl - Coordinator Servers: 0 Simulator Servers: 0 VSEs: 46 Running vusers: 0 Labs: 1 Memory used 727mb, allocated 1,003mb, max 910mb (79%) Our cpu usage 1%, system cpu used 13% GC time 1% db ping: 0 ms

We need the following clarifications in order to proceed further

• As per this DevTest Documentation  sizing of docker containers section hardware requirements it is mentioned as 4 CPU cores minimum for docker containers. We are running registry and portal containers in a single pod. We would  like to know whether we need to allocate 4 CPU cores each for registry and portal containers?
• Please let us know on how we can increase the Java heap memory for OpenShift Registry and Portal containers.

 

Environment

Release : 10.5

Component : CA Service Virtualization

Cause

Memory issues.

Resolution

Make these certain changes to the file "DeploymentConfig.yaml" by adding a property which should address the Xmx issue. 

Please note that the added lines are:

- name: SERVER_BASE_OPTS
value: -Xmx4144m

Here are the two paragraph stanzas where these were added.
