hostserver crashed

[Gary Atkinson]

Hi all-

I had the hostserver crash on my production server this morning.  I received some java errors when trying to connect via the ide.  I was able to restart using hciss and launch the ide.  How can I find out why the hostserver stop running?  I talked to our aix admin and all he could see when the java errors occurred.  

Thanks,

Gary

Gary,

Take a look at the server.log_bak file in $HCIROOT/server/logs

Hope this helps.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does all this mean  😳 ?

Try this post:

You probably need to up the buffers.

[Gary Atkinson]

It’s weird though.  We have been running 5.5 for almost two years and never ran into this problem before.

[Michael Hertel]

Have you added more sites or threads recently?

[Gary Atkinson]

I added another site about 3 months ago.  It has one process and about 7 threads.  Nothing new since then.  I had no issues with our test server; It has 3 sites.

[Michael Hertel]

Perhaps there is some sort of memory leak? You’ll probably need to monitor the log Jim spoke of on a regular basis for a while.

Other than that, I’m out of ideas.

[Gary Atkinson]

Would that be a memory leak in Java?

[Michael Hertel]

Possibly.

I could be wrong, but I believe jvm_args=-Xmx256m deals with garbage collection. See if you have that config’d already on your machine.

[Gary Atkinson]

The settings are the default.  What do those JVM Arguments mean?  By changing this what is affected?

I’m past my level of expertise here.
