Jboss-eap-6.3 Could not reserve enough space for object heap


I have Java7 running on 32-bit Windows.
When I am running Jboss-eap-6.3 server, I am getting the following exception repeatedly each time I try to run the program.


JBoss Bootstrap Environment
JBOSS_HOME: "D:\mysoft\jboss-eap-6.3"
JAVA: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin\java"

JAVA_OPTS: "-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -XX:+UseGCLogFileRotation -XX:NumberOfGCLogFiles=5 -XX:GCLogFileSize=3M -XX:-Tra

missions=true  -Djboss.modules.system.pkgs=org.jboss.byteman"

...
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Can any one help me?


Solution

  • It's actually a problem with the startup script. Here's the bug for that https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=956281. The workaround is to remove the perm gen setting from the JAVA_OPTS line:

    Cause: The max perm gen space parameter is causing the JVM to not be created, which then prevents the server from starting.  This is specifically on Windows 8 32-bit JVM.
    Consequence: The server will not start.
    Workaround (if any): Remove the -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
