Re: Sync from error

Dan Frey · ‎04-05-2018

What can be done to address this error? I did update ncs-start-java-vm with opts=`add_if_not_contains "${opts}" "-Xmx" "" "1G"` and restarted ncs.

admin@ncs% request devices device PD-P1-BR1 sync-from

result false

Neds reload looks good.

admin@ncs> request packages reload

reload-result {

package a10-acos

result true

}

reload-result {

package cisco-ios

result true

}

reload-result {

package cisco-iosxr

result true

}

reload-result {

package cisco-nx

result true

}

reload-result {

package dell-ftos

result true

}

reload-result {

package juniper-junos

result true

}

You don't have to change the ncs-start-java-vm to alter java heap space. There is an environment variable you can set.

export NCS_JAVA_VM_OPTIONS=-Xmx2G

I have this in my .bash_profile

Also you can verify the options passed to java by looking at logs/ncs-java-vm.log

Where you will see a message like

Starting java-vm with options:

'-Xmx2G -classpath :/Users/snovello/NSO/4.6/java/jar/* -Dport=4569 -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8'

NCS JVM STARTING

my suggestion is to increase the heap size further, and look into the log file if there is any indication as to what might be using up your heap.

Tried 2G and 4G option, getting same error when performing sync-from. Here is the ncs-java-vm.log.

Hi Dan,

You may want to double check that your VM has the memory size to support that heap size, if that is so, then I would open a TAC case. There should be no need for 4G of memory to start a single IOS NED, I use that 2G setting because I often have to load 5 or more NEDs and various other packages.
