Gemfire Error: no off heap memory was configured when creating the region

Products

• Pivotal GemFire
• VMware Tanzu Gemfire
• VMware Tanzu Greenplum / Gemfire

Issue/Introduction

Environment

Applicable to all supported GemFire versions.

Cause

If a region was created without off-heap memory enabled, then you will see the message related to:
"no off heap memory was configured when creating the region

Resolution

"To use off-heap memory for a region in GemFire, off-heap memory must first be enabled and configured at the server (JVM) level, and then the region must be created with the off-heap attribute set to true." If off-heap memory was not configured when the region was created, the proper steps are to restart the server with off-heap memory enabled and then create the region specifying off-heap use.

 

 

Additional Information

Please refer the following guide for the detailed off-heap region.
