I know this is a Solr forum however my problem is related to Solr running on Tomcat running on Windows 64 bit OS.
I am running a 32 bit JVM on a 64 bit Windows 2008 Server. The max heap space I am able to allocate is around 1.5 GB though I have 10 GB of RAM on my system and there is no other process running. I understand the limit of max 2GB of heap space that can be allocated on Windows for a process. However I have seen in the forums people state using Xmx upto 10G. How is this possible? If I move to Linux, can I get more heap space allocated to the process or is it related to JVM? Simply put, how can I allocate atleast 8GB of RAM as Xmx to Tomcat on my 64 bit Windows. The tomcat crashes when I start. Please help. </PRE> <BR> ******************************************************************************************<BR>This message may contain confidential or proprietary information intended only for the use of the<BR>addressee(s) named above or may contain information that is legally privileged.
