Memory usage exceeds 87%

Hi All,

I got below windows when starting the NB Java console.

Netbackup_Memory.png

  • Just increase the MAX_MEMORY variables. It's quite normal I would say when backup environments grow to a certain size. And it's not dangerous :-)

    The error message is related to Java memory usage (java console)  - Not to Netbackup core memory usage.

  • Questions:

    How much memory does your system have? 

    What Operating system is it?

    What version of NetBackup Java Console are you running?

  • The error message and instructions on how to solve it are all in that pop-up.

    Have you tried to follow those instructions?

    The defaults are very small. These are the defaults in Windows setconf.bat:

    SET INITIAL_MEMORY=36M
    SET MAX_MEMORY=256M
