How to increase the amount of memory in the DataTurbine

The DataTurbine's memory is determined by the Java virtual machine's (JVM) startup command-line parameters. These are separate from the RBNB parameters.

To increase memory, use the

 -Xmx{value}M

parameter. For example:

 java -Xmx1024M -jar $RBNB_HOME/bin/rbnb.jar

would give you 1G of memory.

Notes and limits

On a 32-bit operating system, you can't ask for more than about 3500M. On a 64-bit OS like Solaris with a 64-bit JVM, you just add

-d64

and then increase to what you can afford. We've tested with up to 12G of memory on a Sun T2000.
