/ partition fills up VCO 5.5.1

/var/lib/vco/app-server/bin/java_pid5483.hprof is almost 2GB.  This has been haunting me as it destroys my appliance filling it up %100.  I have a VM snapshot to revert the appliance when this happens.

usualy this file is generated if there is server crash for example out of memory.

VMware KB:    What is the pidXXXXXX.hprof file used for?

In vCO generation of this file can be disabled by removing  -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError from JVM options

In vCO context this option is set in

var/lib/vco/app-server/bin/setenv.sh           For vCO Configurator

var/lib/vco/configuration/bin/setenv.sh       For vCO Server

After removing it from start-up script services must be restarted.

If the option is sucessfully removed can be validating by checking the running processes list parameters

> ps -fax | grep 'HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError'

Hi,

I know this is an old post - But a few mintues ago it helped me to figure out what went wrong with our vRO-Appliances the last days!

So just f.y.i. - This problem still occurs on vRO 7.0.1 Appliances!

Thx & Regards,

Marc
