Hi,
we've developed a tool which automates scenarious over the vSphere Web Service SDK on a Virtual Center with 1.150 vms. In our tool we've a mechanism which polls on demand all vms from a Virtual Center. While this mechanis takes very long (~9 minutes, ok we're talking about 1150 vms g) I thought this mechanism could be improved by reducing virtual center calls. Based on this idea I build a query which requests a complete list of vms from the virtual center by only one call:
###########################################################################
//VM Collector for vSphere:
public final static String [] VC_INFO_PATH = new String { "summary.vm", "config.annotation", "config.name", "config.guestFullName", "config.extraConfig", "config.template", "config.guestId", "config.hardware", "config.uuid", "datastore", "guest.disk", "guest.net", "parent", "resourcePool",
"runtime.powerState", "runtime.maxCpuUsage", "snapshot", "summary.config.memorySizeMB", "summary.guest.hostName", "summary.quickStats.guestMemoryUsage"};
//vSphere call
ObjectContent[] objectContentArray = virtualCenter.getService().retrieveProperties(this.virtualCenter.getPropertyCollector(), propertyFilterSpecArray);
###########################################################################
Unfortunately I'll get right in the vSphere call an error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" - I assume because of the large return value based on the query.
It is possible to avoid this message by increasing heap space?
Which heap space do I have to increase, JVM Xmx, MaxPermSize?
Thx + kind regards
Daniel
