Issue/Introduction

This article is to provide steps to increase the memory heap size in vRealize Orchestrator. In heavy usage environments the default settings of the appliance may not be enough.

Resolution

To adjust the memory heap size:

  1. In the vSphere client, power off the appliance.
  2. Edit the virtual machine settings and adjust the memory from 6GB to a higher value such as 12GB.
  3. Power on the virtual machine.
  4. Connect to the appliance through SSH using root credentials.
  5. To edit the heap usage, run this command:

    vi /usr/lib/vco/app-server/bin/setenv.sh
  6. Search for this line:

    JVM_OPTS="-Xmx2048m
  7. Edit this line to use more of the memory assigned to the virtual machine. Do not assign the entire amount as the OS still needs memory available as well.

    For example, changing to use 8GB:

    JVM_OPTS="-Xmx8192m

  8. Save the file.
  9. Restart the Orchestrator services by running these commands:

    service vco-server restart
    service vco-configurator restart
