In my previous post I described how to reduce the vCenter memory requirements on Windows. Basically the same is true for the vCenter appliance, but the files are a bit harder to find. Besides that the same disclaimer applies – this is in no way supported by VMware.
Single Sign On:
- /usr/lib/vmware-sso/bin/setenv.sh
- Change “JVM_OPTS” (default: “-XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m”) to “-XX:MaxPermSize=128M -Xms128m -Xmx256m”
Inventory Service:
- /usr/lib/vmware-vpx/inventoryservice/wrapper/conf/wrapper.conf
- Set wrapper.java.maxmemory (default: “3072”) to “384” (MB)
